Teen's ‘filthy' act on Sydney train sparks outrage
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. If you thought commuters shouting on loudspeaker or eating strong-smelling food on public transport was as anti-social as it got, think again. Sydney train travellers were treated to a new level of eyebrow-raising behaviour this week, when a teenage boy received a full-blown haircut – professional hairdresser cape and all – in the middle of a carriage. The unexpected salon session unfolded on a regular weekday morning on a train near Richmond, northwest of Sydney, with stunned passengers looking on. The travelling barber looked focused as he shaved his friend's hair while a third mate filmed the scene. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this.

I spend £1,100 on beauty treatments every month. This is exactly what it's done to my face: SCARLETT DARGAN
Every six weeks, I block out five hours of my Saturday to have my hair done. It's been a similar routine for six years: a full head of highlights (which take about 90 minutes to apply with foils, given I have loads of very curly hair); a full hair wash; a toner to warm the blonde; another shampoo; a cut; and a full blow-dry (30 minutes if I'm happy with it curly, an hour if I want it straight). There are a few issues with this, like it's pretty antisocial, really boring and interrupts my lunch schedule (I always try to book around 10am and, by the time I leave, I am starved). There's also the £420 bill I'm presented with every time my hairdresser has finished working their magic – although, truly, that's never bothered me as much as the whole boredom and missing lunch thing.

Dispute between hairdresser and his customer over simple maths problem leaves people baffled - but can YOU work out who's in the right?
A disagreement between a customer and a hairdresser has boggled the minds of many after footage of the dispute was shared online. A woman in China went to her local salon for a quick haircut but when going to pay, she realised she had left her wallet at home. The woman asked the owner if she could borrow 100 Chinese yuan (CNY), assuring him that she lived nearby and would come right back to repay him. The reluctant shop owner eventually agreed and the woman used the 100 CNY to pay for the 30 CNY haircut, then pocketed the leftover 70 CNY as change. Shortly afterwards, the customer returned and gave the hair salon owner his 100 CNY back. But the owner became suspicious, arguing that the woman gave him back the 100 CNY he had lent her, but still hadn't paid for the haircut. She insisted she had already paid for the haircut with the money he lent her, to which the owner responded that it was his money to begin with. The woman put her foot down, saying she was now paying it back, and she didn't see a problem. Irritated, the woman left the shop. Security footage of the incident has since gone viral, with swathes of internet users debating on who of the two parties is in the right. Some commenters believe the shop owner is correct, with one offering no explanation other than: 'The man is right.' Another agreed, writing: 'She borrowed 100, returned the 100, but didn't pay for the service that cost 30. How is this fair?' And a third emphatic commenter followed the same line of reasoning, saying: 'No, they have not paid everything they owed. Initially, they owed 30 and then borrowed an additional 100 to pay that debt. 'Returning the 100 they borrowed only covers the loan, not the initial debt of 30 they still owe. Therefore, they still owe the 30 they borrowed to cover the initial debt' However, many commenters failed to register that the woman did in fact pay the owner 30 CNY before leaving. She then returned and paid him an additional 100 to cover the cost of the loan. Simply put, the owner lent the woman 100, and was owed 30 for the haircut. She gave him 30 of his own money, then 100 on top of that after returning which totals 130 - meaning her debt is cleared. 'Yeah, she doesn't owe him anything,' one person said. 'She borrowed 100 and returned 100, while also paying for the 30 haircut on top.' The video sparked furious debate in the comments, with responders firmly standing their ground Others agreed, with another writing: 'So let's do the maths: The barber initially gave her 100. She gave him back 100 (repaying the loan in full). He also received 30 for the haircut. Therefore, the barber has been paid in full.' The video sparked furious debate in the comments, with some people firmly standing their ground. 'I'm losing brain cells reading these comments,' joked one person. 'She doesn't owe him anything. She left the store with 70 and she gave him 100 when she came back. 100 + the 30 she gave him earlier is 130. She paid him his money.' More skilled mathematicians tried to break it down simply to convince the naysayers. 'It's not that hard. Let's rephrase it. She borrowed 70 from the barber. The next day she returns with 100, which means she gave the barber 30,' one wrote. It's a basic problem that has tripped up hundreds of thousands online - and one person further questioned: 'Why would he even let her borrow money and pay him his own money?'
