During the pandemic, the hair dryer was considered a real tool of the devil. Just don’t invest, and certainly don’t turn it on! Because such a hair dryer is the ultimate virus slingshot. The professionals were still allowed to continue to work in the triad of washing, cutting and blow-drying, at least when the hairdressing salons were finally allowed to open again. You didn’t even have to think about blow-drying yourself there. Even in the swimming pools, the powerful hot air shower was absolutely taboo. Parents whose children’s hair was constantly wet and couldn’t get rid of the snot can now relax and look forward to their next swimming lesson. Blow-drying has long been allowed again.
In Hohenbrunn, however, things are a bit more complicated. In the new Riemerlinger indoor pool, blow-drying was not even considered. After the opening, one looked in vain for hair dryers. The planners probably didn’t believe that the hair dryer-free period would come to an end at some point. In any case, Mayor Stefan Straßmair recognized the problem in no time at all and rushed to the hardware store to buy five hair dryers at a price of 30 euros each. That’s not a lot of hot air for all the wet hair in Hohenbrunn. If you want to keep your head dry, you probably have to queue in front of the machines. Some know that from childhood in the seventies and eighties. At that time there were just two permanently installed hot air hoods in some bathrooms, one of which was usually broken and the other could not be adjusted in height, so that long-haired people only blew on the upper scalp.
The problem with the hardware store hairdryers in Hohenbrunn is that they are not screwed on, so anyone can easily unplug them and take them with you. The fear in the town hall is great that this will actually happen. But who steals hair dryers anyway? On the other hand, watering cans are constantly being stolen from the Unterhaching cemetery, for example. Because you don’t want to keep buying hair dryers until the permanently installed hair dryers are screwed on, there should soon be bag checks in the Hohenbrunn indoor pool. Yes, even for people who are bald or have perms and who swear never to use a hair dryer. After all, in Hohenbrunn they know that hair dryers are also ideal for drying feet, for example to prevent fungal diseases. There are even farmers who blow-dry their cows before beauty pageants so they look fluffy like teddy bears. Oh, and Cathy Hummels posted a while ago that she blow-dried her butt. That is immensely relaxing. But that’s not what you do in the Hohenbrunn indoor pool.
