PLEASE DON'T BRUSH YOUR HAIR
Why do people believe that payment for a service gives the right to abuse said service? An Uber driver narrated his encounter with a rider whom he asked to stop brushing her hair in his car, so as not to leave strands of hair behind. According to him, her response was to ask if she didn't pay for the ride. This post was shared by popular Instagram blog; 'instablog'. The most disappointing thing about that post was the comment section. A lot of people found no fault in the attitude of the rider. Some even reiterated her point, she paid for the ride, and as such can brush her hair if she wishes to. I however saw reasons with the driver's request. It wasn't just about brushing her hair, it was more about littering the car. In a job in which he could be rated poorly for having an untidy car, surely he has the right to ask that you not brush your hair while in it. Yes, a service was paid for. But rules are no strangers in the course of a service. Something people fail to understand when it comes to services is that, you have to consider the other people making use of it. Nobody wants to get into a car which looks like the inside of a barber's shop. If you know such a thing is a turn off, then you should consider the next person who gets in after you. That's an issue which constantly keeps rearing its head in modern times - lack of empathy. Nobody seems to consider the feelings of the next guy. What we are bothered by is our own satisfaction. If that satisfaction comes at the expense of others, so be it. Emotional intelligence keeps declining, even though we like to act like we are sophisticated. Learn to respect people's rules. So far as the rules are not over reaching and offensive (genuinely offensive, not woke mind offensive), we can respect them. Keep to the rules of a service provider or you find an alternative. If the man says don't brush your hair in his car, then don't.
