Every time I went to get a haircut, they never did what I wanted anyway. Maybe its because I wasn’t clear enough, or maybe I went to cheap places, but I was never happy to pay for something that simple. So I gave up and started doing it myself. I can do a crew cut with mirrors and guides. It’s okay, I think.
My other issue like this is with taxis. I already hate paying for someone to drive me around in a car, then I have to talk to them?! No thanks. I’ll take the bus and silently watch outside.
This actually changed my view on vacation places. I went to St-Martin and there were only taxis. I hated it. But then I visited Guadeloupe, was able to use local buses, packed, with no AC, and I was much happier.
Me too, but I wanted to find out how bad it was by myself. I knew St-Martin/St-Maarten didn’t really have public transit per se, and I would probably be stuck using taxis, but not to that extent. It made me think about Not Just Bikes’ video on the Bahamas. I planned to rent a bike once on the island but the shop I saw online had two locations, and the closest to me had no bikes. Plus, the trafic was not encouraging. I ended up walking everywhere and stayed close to my accommodation. Otherwise anywhere I wanted to go was like $70 US to and fro in a taxi.
I also wasn’t sure about how public transit worked in Guadeloupe, but at least I knew it existed, there are plans and schedules online, and an app. So I also went “to see”. The routes are not always direct, the buses have no AC, they are stuck in traffic, but the service exists. I was able to spend my whole vacation there using only buses and ferries. The highlight was renting a bike and cycling around the island of Marie-Galante. As someone living car free, I really appreciate that this was possible.
I’m lucky that I can cut my own hair.

As a cyclist taxi drivers are the biggest fucking cunts on the road and are by far the people that put my life at risk most often.
I will walk for hours before I ever give those entitled pieces of shit any of my money. Buses and trains ftw!
Yep. Let my hair grow, and when it starts suffocating me, BZZZZZZZZZ
I target my vacations specifically to countries where I can get around exclusively with public transit, and a bike if needed
