Random Massage Therapists Describe Their Worst Customers (15 items)

• (#4) Their Client Went In For A Kiss

  From Reddit user /u/gabrielle612:

  I've been a licensed massage therapist for four years now, and two weeks ago for the first time ever, I had an older man think it was okay to try to kiss me. I HAD TO PUSH HIM OFF OF ME.

  I did not stop to think about his welfare, or him potentially suing my small practice. I only thought about my boundaries and my safety. After reestablishing my boundaries, I showed him the door.

  Goodbye, creepy old man.
• (#13) Their Client's Cyst Popped During The Massage

  From Reddit user /u/Rhinomeat:

  I just graduated in April, and I have seen some things...

  There was a guy that would come to the on-campus clinic to get a massage from the students. Well, one day his cyst popped... warm pus flew 3 feet and hit the curtain. [It] smelled [disgusting].
• (#9) Their Client Gave Them And Loved Ones Scabies

  From Reddit user /u/AzizYogurtbutt:

  I'm not a massage therapist, but I used to hook up with one. She got scabies from a client, and I got it from her. Also, my whole family and dog got it from me.

  We spent about $300 on lindane and had to wrap all the furniture in trash bags for three weeks.
• (#10) Their Client Bled Everywhere

  From Reddit user /u/Aremtee:

  I'm a male massage therapist. While working... in [Canada], I had the grouchiest client I had ever met. She was angry to be brought to the room, grunted responses when I was working on her..., [scowled] when she left the room, and practically threw the face cradle towel at me before she went to the bathroom.

  I went back in the room to prepare for my next client and walked in to a solid wall of blood stink. I lifted the sheets and there was blood everywhere. In horrified slow motion I looked at the towel in my hand and there was blood all over it, too. The woman had started the most heavy period I could ever imagine. Later on, the girls I work with were amazed at how calm I had remained. But I never want to see that much of that type of blood on my table ever again.
• (#7) Their Client Was A Moaner

  From a former Redditor:

  I am still fairly new to being [a registered massage therapist]. The worst thing to happen so far was when I was in the student clinic. There [were] about six rooms divided by hospital curtains that we would massage in. I had one gentleman who came in with lower back pain. Little did I know how good I actually was at massaging. From outside the curtain you would think there was some freaky stuff going on.

  He was moaning like a female [skin-flick] star. I was extremely uncomfortable, but he was just showing his appreciation. He came back week after week and it just became normal. But clients would make sure to tell the supervisor they thought something was going on...
• (#11) Their Clients Expected To Be 'Warmed Up' Beforehand

  From a former Redditor:

  My ex was a massage therapist. Her worst story is when she went for a job at a massage place. All seemed normal. They got her set up in a nice area... All the lotions and potions she needed... She would earn 50% of the takings for each massage.

  Then she realized the place was a f*ckin' [call house]. She was simply there to get the guys heated up, before [they headed] downstairs to the whores. Worst of all, the boss would leave her there alone sometimes and people would come in wanting a whore - sometimes drunk guys late at night.

  Yeah, she packed her things up and got out of there.
