At the hairdressing salon where she works, she gets tired of daily listening to women who talk a lot without saying any important. "They never tell y’things that matter.” this results in that she comes to experience a so-called identity crisis, wherein she doesn’t know which class she belongs in. This theory is supported by the fact that she feels that her mentality doesn’t fit the mentality of the working class. This is seen at page 8 in the lines 37-43: “I’ve been realizin’ for ages that I was, y’ know, slightly out of step. (…) See, I wanna discover meself first.
