When you have a massage treatment, it’s you and me in very close proximity and then I have other clients who come in right after you, to lie on the same table and breathe the same air. Even though I clean the table with disinfectant, if you bring your sick self and germs in to this space, guess what? YOU WILL MAKE ME AND OTHER PEOPLE SICK. So while I know it’s hard to cancel a massage appointment because it’s so nice and all, please THINK before you show up declaring “Everyone in my house is sick, probably strep throat and now I’m not feeling so good, but I sure can use this treatment.” Please THINK about what you are doing. Be considerate and cancel. You won’t be charged it you are sick and I and all my other clients will thank you. —RMTs Don’t Get Sick Days

Instead of massage oil next time you get one of these walking germ factories come in, try using Vicks vapo-rub. Just slather a big ol’ glob of it on there. Maybe then, they’ll take the hint.
Hmm… I wonder if you could just send them home?
Be all “hay buddy, sorry you’re sick. It might be best if you come back another time.”
Though, they’d probably get up on here and write a bitch about how they were kicked out.
LOLZ.
Also: vastie’s quite the cutie irl, ladies. 😉 *shameless flirt*
HAHAHA.
Can’t you use spray disinfectant? Really, though, maybe you’ve got a point. I hate it when my masseuse has a cold–I hate to hear excessive sniffing, especially over my bare back.
Thought of the summit yesterday…there in spirit!
Ahhhhhh…shucks, kitty. *blush* I appreciate that. Very sweet of you, but, do you have eye coverage? Cuz I really think you need to visit your optomotrist soon. 😛
This infuriates me to no end. Failing to take preventative measures to keep your sickness to yourself is one of the rudest and most inconsiderate things you can do, IMO.
ESPECIALLY in a professional setting, where the person has no option but to serve you.
I’m sure you’d get in trouble if you asked him to leave, and you have no paid sick time? That would piss me right off.
Valid bitch OP.
OB, pray to god they were not fat….they’d have broken the table. If they are sick, go deep, real deep…..break them.
LOLZ, vastie — I have 20/10 vision!
Nah, I’d hit it (provided you didn’t already have a lady friend — I ain’t no hoe! *wink*).
😛
Tommy — I agree 110%. What about all the other people working there who had no paid sick time either? OR! people who go to work who have sick time off and infect co workers who don’t? That used to happen to me on my internships — I’d have no paid sick time and some gov’t drone would roll in sick as fuck and complain all day. I almost started wearing a mask and putting police tape across my cubicle entry way to keep the self centered fucks out.
Fuckfaces.
Whew! Gettin’ warm in here. lol
i don’t like strangers touching me, that’s why i get my haircut every couple of years. the germbag announced that that they were sick, do you wear gloves? that’s up close and personal op. citizens: try to go outside as much as you can, and wash your hands
