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?

@ Dowagers Hump and LeQs waxing. Did the waxer talk? No, lets not start that again.........

Yes, in F&B world it may be all lavender and shit. But in the real world, baby, elephants have scummy green breath. With flecks.

My one & only spa treatment was in one of those floatation tank thingies. Bliss. Except I came out looking like a boiled lobster.

In F&B world, elephants shit lavender

I'm going to get a job there, just to launch the shade Dragon Butter

I think the shade Fuschia Flange would look nice in my downstairs cupboard.

I wasn't talking 'bout u g! The nasty comments came on page 1 from food and bogey - way over the top!

LeQ... Why r u braiding my hair?!

What did you want to achieve by complaining about her? To get her sacked? To get her a warning or a telling off? If she had done something nasty then fair enough but all she did was talk to you for god sake! I think it's unfair you intended for her to be punished.

I don't think I was being rude at all. I think it's really nice when shop assistants are hair dressers are chatty. Not as in talk to you all damn day, I can't stand taking ages to get things done, but good morning etc is nice. Can't believe there is so many anti-social people on a social website!

It was me braiding hair. I came over all hippyish as peace broke out on the thread

I am doing henna painting too if you're interested..... :)

I'l sort your shakras too

Way over the top foodface, she just wanted a quiet spa treatment and you equate that to mean we are anti-social. You and your rude posts - you have ishooos

Why didn't you tell her to stfu ask her to be quiet if that's what you wanted? Do you always expect people to be mind readers?

I don't think it's unreasonable to want to relax quietly. I wouldn't find it relaxing if I felt I had to make constant - constant conversation with someone during the entire treatment.

That's not relaxing. Relaxing - for me - is quietly enjoying the sensations and focusing on what's happening. Talk surely takes away from that and makes the focus the conversation?

That said, you could have said something. Nicely. "I'm sorry I'm not really very talkative, this is just so relaxing that it makes me want to stay quiet and enjoy it" or "do you mind if I just close my eyes and relax quietly?" or some other way of saying it like it's you while giving her the message that you want her to stop talking.

I agree with NoFood.

I think YANBU

I have to admit I am loving the 'first world problem' comments I mean seriously, what do you expect to read on here?! If you are sitting with your laptop/iPad/phone killing time reading mumsnet then I'm pretty sure your problems are first world ones too
