Embarrassing moment at the beauty therapist. I'm not lone in embarrassing myself am I?!

[mayaknew]

DH got me a massage voucher for Christmas. Booked it for today after work.

I'm sure it's very very common for people to fall asleep during massages. What I'm not sure is common is people then waking themselves up what their own snoring !!!!

I was snoring so loud I woke myself up!!! I then fell asleep again I just couldn't stay awake.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's embarrassed themselves at a beauty appointment 🤦🏽

That's not embarrassing op. Embarrassing is doing this during a routine dry trim at the hairdresser, and waking up with slight side of mouth drool. I can't help it, anytime someone touches my head I get a weird tingle and then I'm out cold. Haven't been to a hairdresser in years, it's too dangerous to my good standing in society

Years ago (over 20!) I went for a massage at a new therapist. He was German and a present from my boss who raved about him. I took the day off work, had a lovely relaxing bath with a new bath bomb i'd been given for Christmas. Didn't realise until I got out the bath that I was covered in glitter and it was actually a glitter bomb. No time to wash it off so off I went. When I arrived he asked me to take off all my clothes as he needed to massage my 'gluteal muscle'. Not easy to relax knowing that he was massaging my big glittery bum! Needless to say I never went back.

I have cried laughing through so much of this thread!

I’ve also fallen asleep during root canal. It was with a criminally expensive specialist, and the whole place was like a very fancy medical hotel. He asked me what I wanted to watch on the TV above the chair, and I was asleep in about 15 minutes.

Worse than that though, was the next stage of the treatment a few weeks later. It was a molar tooth with very long twisted roots - hence my own dentist referring me - so both stages took ages. I think each appointment was two hours. Midway through the second part I was aware of feeling “wet”, and realised my period had suddenly started. I had to raise my hand and ask to go to the loo, complete with a big metal frame thing holding my mouth propped open. Both he and the nurse were very kind and said things like “it happens all the time”, but I didn’t believe them. I had to go back for a final check before he discharged me and my own dentist crowned the tooth, and fortunately my guy was off sick so I saw one of his colleagues.

I have not been so lucky, but my mother was. Although she did not snore, there were several treatment rooms (lovely places, those), and audible snores were coming from at least three of them. You are not alone!

I laughed so hard at this 🤣

This is hilarious 😂😂 it’s the scarf comment that makes it 😂😂😂

I had a pamper day with my sisters and mum last year - a first for me.
The young girl who did me said people fall asleep and snore all the time, they hardly notice it any more. Just get on with the job. They also said that quite a few also fart 🤣
Altho I found this completely hilarious - and couldn't stop giggling the whole time - I was also clenching away in an effort not to accidentally trump 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣
I'm retty sure they've seen it all; just like doctors.

I was having a cervical smear, and the nurse looked at me, legs akimbo, and said 'isnt it funny how we are all different' I've had a complex ever since..

Sorry, not exactly a beauty appointment, was it!

Anything lying down and my body goes into time to sleep mode. Expect when actually in bed.

@ShirleyPhallus

I’ve done worse… had a massage, fallen asleep, farted and woke myself up. Very, very awkward for all involved.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

@notjaneausten

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

During intimate time, when my partner was “down south”, I fell asleep and nearly farted in his face..😵

You may already know this but it sounds very much like an ASMR reaction! I'm much the same but I just warn my hairdresser that I'll probably fall asleep, she's used to it now

I’ve been tempted to pretend to be asleep rather than have to have a conversation with the massage therapist.
The last massage I had, the woman spent the whole hour telling me about her relationship problems and then told me what a good listener I was as I paid her £45
Sounds horrible I know but I can rarely afford a massage and just wanted to switch off for an hour. Maybe I should practice my fake snoring so I don’t have to spend my massage time counselling her 😂

@QuelleSuprise

I once fell asleep in the dentist having root canal treatment.

Me too!!! And I'm pretty sure I snored throughout.

I sat on a massage table in the middle to lay down, naked but for a towel and it broke. The two halves of the table snapped upwards trapping me in the middle as I fell down the gap.
I was wedged there with my feet dangling over the edge. The shocked masseuse ran to get help from another masseuse, who was a male to haul me out, which took some doing, losing my towel in the process.
I still feel embarrassed all these years later.

@notjaneausten, not exactly but still funny ! Reminded me of mine. After the smear, sat down with the nurse who informed me that she hadn't succeeded and that I would need to see a doctor 'as they have larger instruments '.
All I could picture was a fork lift truck.
