AIBU to expect that during a 'relaxing' spa treatment

[Garliccheesechips]

..that the beauty therapist would shut the fuck up?

Honestly, she talked non stop. About her life, her flat hunting, her boyfriend, her fucking eyebrow tattoo course. I gave her one word answers and told her I wanted a peaceful treatment. Didn't take this on board at all. She left the room while a face and neck mask thing sunk in and that 20 minutes was the only relaxing element of the whole experience.

She also subjected me to a hard sell- fair enough- we all have to make a living- but I felt under pressure to buy products and packages. (I didn't).

I complained to the front desk when I was leaving. They were apologetic but...meh...

This was a gift from my birthday and I feel that my friend wasted her money as I feel about as relaxed as a rabbit in headlights. Mind you, I am glowing and my pores are lovely.

AIBU to expect peace and quiet and not to have to demand they shut up or is this how it works?

ilkiecandy - Perhaps it has escaped your notice, but we are all being nice now.

Would you like a daisy chain?

Am just back from a spa break when filling out the questionnaire that has medical questions etc it had the question " do you want your therapist to talk to you or remain silent during the session" Big tick for the latter. This is the way forward!

ROAR at maroon. Like a 1980s Volvo, LeQ [buwink]

LeQueen - yes, that's the blue bit on the West Ham strip

See I don't think no was being rude. The illiterate comment was fucking rude though. YABU OP first world problems is about right

Oh yes, something like that LeQueen.

Perhaps Skimming Stone?

Mordecai - chill, come and sit down with us in the grass and smoke the pipe of peas

Elephants Breath

I would be more Fading Lush

I obviously give off massive shut-up-and-leave-me-alone vibes as therapists and hairdressers give up on small talk pretty quickly with me.

However I am still shuddering several years later after overhearing the hairdresser working on the women next to me discussing the detailed problems she was having with her diaphragm and wondering if she should change to another contraceptive. There are some things that need to be kept to yourself, no matter how well you know your client.

Shit, sorry OP, I know how picky you are about grammar and stuff. That should have been Elephants' Breath.

Is Fading Lush real? I do hope so

I would be Dowager's Hump

Sorry :( I invented Fading Lush :)

Dappled Mutton :)

So it's one elephant, not a whole herd? I've often wondered.

Elephant's Breath is clearly scummy green anyway, they gots it wrong.

Tinge of Dinge. That'd be grey.

The last time I got my nails done the lady went to great length to tell me she's stopped using acrylic extensions on herself because the last time she done them she cut her flower when wiping after going to the loo.

Once I figured out what she meant I laughed about it all day.
