Very British Problems when having a haircut
1 Insisting the temperature is "fine" as what must be water from a kettle is
poured over your head.
2 Never feeling more tense than when fighting against the pleasant feeling of
the head massage.
3 Showing a photo of you when you were 10 years younger and three stone
lighter and asking, "Can you make me look like this, please?"
4 Accepting a complimentary drink as if you've just been offered £500 in
cash.
5 Being gripped by the sadness of having to assess your own face for ages in the hairdresser's mirror.
6 Rearranging your hands and accidentally looking like you're doing
something devious under the cape.
7 Being thrilled at seeing the back of your head for the first time since your
last haircut.
8 Feeling consumed by guilt as you're encouraged to stand up and cover the
clean floor with bits of hair.
9 Being mystified as to how "what have you done?" somehow leaves your
mouth as "excellent, thank you very much!"
10 Waiting until you're at least 50 strides away from the building until you
completely restyle your head in a coffee-shop window.

Piggybacking off of this, my most American take is that the way Americans write dates (month-date-year) makes a lot more sense contextually than the European way (date-month-year). Listing the month first, for lack of a better word, anchors the calendar day. Why list day first?!

I can’t seriously believe he is surprised or that it took them so long. He’s been misusing his AP discount since at least 2015 and is literally being sued right now yet still questioning it 😂😂😂😂
Did you really experience your early 20's as a woman if you didn't have a wildly codependent friendship with your best friend that exploded spectacularly and now you never speak?
