Anyone have any embarrassing stories at a spa? I thought about this when a reader emailed me about seeing a guy shit himself at the spa (which, eww, gross)
Here's mine: it was a couple of years ago, and I was getting over a cold. In fact, the cold was gone except for an annoying cough. A blog reader had emailed me and we were planning to meet at a spa, but I didn't want to sound like death when I got there. So, on my way, I stopped at the store and picked up some cough syrup. Instead of bothering to measure a correct dose, I just took a swig.
I got to the spa, and met the guy, and we sat in the hot tub for a bit and then moved to the sauna. I was in there for only a few minutes and I started to feel light-headed, so I went out and sat down on the bench. I closed my eyes, and the friend that met me there asked if I was OK... I was completely oblivious to the fact that I had blacked out. I told him I was fine, and kept sitting.
Next thing I knew, I was on the floor, looking up at half a dozen naked Koreans staring at me as they were lowering me to the floor. One guy was super helpful, putting towels under my head and giving me his water... But it was so embarrassing!
Moral of the story: don't mix drugs (even over-the-counter drugs) with the spa!
Anyone else have an embarrassing tale?
