My cousin owns a salon......ooh woops, I mean, a rich guy she'd been using for money a few years ago BOUGHT her a salon (then she dumped him), and this is in my hometown, 50 miles away.
Look, I have no problem with people suggesting places, if I ASK their opinion. I don't have a problem with people trying to get word out about their place or voicing about places they like.
This, however, is fucking obnoxious.
Any time I post about anything hair related, my other cousin (her sister) or my aunt are hassling me "You need to go to Betsy's salon!"
I have to stop from typing "50 miles away? With gas at nearly $4 a gallon? Are you kidding me?" but I don't want to start a huge fight. These people, you walk on eggshells, or they'll ruin your life. Well, with Aunt. I'm not joking. Only once we've been so lucky that we've pissed them off and they shut up for months. But the last time my mom upset my aunt, she did whatever she could to try to get my mom off the city council.
My mom and I got our hair done yesterday at a very pricey, but VERY worth it salon. Mom posted a pic of her new 'do, and about how great our date together was. What does cousin say? "You shoulda went to Betsy's place!"
Mom ignored that comment.
Then, Mom "liked" the FB page of this particular salon and wrote that she recommends it to friends. What does Aunt say?
"Betsy's salon is probably better!"
Are you FUCKING SERIOUS?
Not to mention, a year or so ago, other cousin posted on FB about being stressed, one of her friends wrote about going to a spa/salon elsewhere in that town, and cousin's sis Betsy went APESHIT on that status update and started attacking the girl for going somewhere other than her salon and that nowhere is better than her place.
In private, I've told everyone I know from growing up in that town NOT to go to Betsy's salon. Because I hate her, she's an ugly freakshow, and she'll turn you into an ugly freakshow. And on a serious note, she doesn't quit with self promotion and her entire family harrasses people to go to this stupid salon of hers.
