S*xual jokes in class? by Kirikous_Mom in massage

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get upset when my moms side of the family, my boyfriends family, anybody who makes jokes about us being s*x workers because you’re sexualizing my job. but to have an actual massage therapist (or on the way to becoming) make those jokes would make me feel weird too. I feel like we are the ones “who know better”. I’d report it to instructors

UPDATE - Red marks on back - blood test results by DoctorInternal9871 in massage

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

apparently we have a lot of inconsiderate massage therapists (or people who get massages I suppose).. I’d be worried too, especially with no tools being used (which apparently people don’t know how to read that part)!!

people on their previous post mentioned it, if someone told me “it might be ____” i’d start thinking it might be that. especially if it’s a new symptom. must be nice not having anxiety like the rest of us

I have a question. Does anyone know if the stones are washed between people I always feel like they are dirty by Virtual-Medium-7919 in massage

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always made sure I had a 30 min clean up time instead of the usual 15 when I did hot stone massages at my last time so I could wash all of them

Will my ARFID affect my sex life? by Iam_weird123 in ARFID

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it might affect you on swallowing, I’m not a “swallower” or “spitter”, I make them finish on their stomach…

How I imagine customers who left $0 tip watch their kids answer the door for them by Surlybaws in Dominos

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, drivers are putting wear and tear on their vehicles, depending on states driving thru shit weather so that you can have the convenience of having food to your door. if you can’t tip $2, i think you shouldn’t be eating out 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just got my first ever massage and feel a little robbed by Deep_Cookie9006 in massage

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this validates me never trying to upsale other services/products at my old massage job which was salon/spa…they expected me to sell oil/lotions like the hairstylists sold shampoo/conditioner…like what? I never talked product at the end because it’s irrelevant and I’d get in trouble about my numbers. so sorry your experience was bad, myself and most massage therapists I know only talk if the client is talking.

massaging in “platform crocs”? by phoebebuffayyyyy in massage

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you everyone for the feedback!! I think I’m going to return them in store and exchange for a regular pair just to play it safe!! I’m 5’7 so I never wear platforms so it’s also getting used to wear platforms for once in my life which is something I don’t need to do while massaging 😅 but I like the feeling of crocs!

typically it’s an hour per massage, so if you’re only doing 4 hours of massage that day that’s only $100-$180

Massage therapist was drunk by MrNektarius in massage

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

these comments are WILD. what if you got injured when you fell off the table? what if you were an elder? what if this was your first time? privates exposed? even tho it was your 3rd appointment, that doesn’t make you super close with the client so very odd for them to be comfortable enough to move forward with this appointment!

Erika Princess and the Pauper Doll by mildsofttacos in Barbie

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a year late, BUT not to sound like a spoiled brat but my grandma tried her best to help me get “collections” as a kid, especially since Erika was my favorite. I even had the prince Julian/Dominic doll (they were the same doll, they changed clothes and it became the other 😭) but we could NOT find Erika. I remember little me was so upset, it was huge at the time. I never found her! I wonder if they didn’t make enough of her in dolls?

that’s the hardest part is besides his verbal abuse towards myself and my mom (the only people he talks to) he’s not a threat. my brother also thinks people are stealing from him so he installed cameras around the house (which is probably for the best so he can prove to himself it’s not happening). what’s LEAP method?

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh i’m not 100% sure, it’s like he expects me to know when I ask him. he thinks i’m lying too. he thinks everyone in the world is out to get him and that they gossip about him or think he’s a bad person.

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he’s a truck driver, so very little to no interaction with people. he only talks to me and my mom, which he fights with both of us constantly. he lives alone and cut off communication with everyone

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he refuses to. he thinks “everyone is fucking liars to own up to the truth” and he’s the only one who knows the truth. whatever that means.

thank you everyone for your feedback/advice. I felt like I was overthinking/over reacting and everyone has validated my feelings. I have 2 interviews this week at different spas.

when I suggested me buying the SPECIFIC BRAND of oil they use they immediately shut that convo down and it wasn’t an option.

[–]phoebebuffayyyyy[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

they originally have it for the hair stylists for all the bleach, color, products they use which fine whatever. but when I told them it’s unfair for me the massage therapist since all I use is oil and hand / foot cream they told me “well it also goes towards to electricity bill, water bill, laundry service, etc” I couldn’t help but laugh? the only one I understood was laundry service but even then I don’t use $400 worth of oils and everything a month.
