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?
Omg lol... I just read your story lol
ReplyDeleteI once attempted to loosen a light bulb in the sleeping room of a very popular spa. The light was somewhat dim so I reasoned it would not be hot. Stupid me...it was a halogen bulb and I burned the heck out of my index finger and thumb!
ReplyDeleteOuch!
DeleteHost's story is similar to an experience I had in Japan, mid-1980s. I was teaching English at a YMCA that had a basement pool and the locker area had a small sauna. I don't remember being on meds, but I'd had a bad winter cold or flu, thought I was over it, went for a swim then stepped in sauna. Started to feel a little lightheaded, stepped out, and next thing I knew, I was waking up with several naked Japanese guys hovering over me. Can't even make a joke about that, because it's a little scary to faint. For anyone curious, no, I never played there in the YMCA sauna/showers, it was too small and I knew too may people too well. But I met a couple buddies there and my apartment wasn't too far away :-)
ReplyDeleteThe only thing embarrassing that I've experienced in an LA Korean spa happened at small, mostly straight Seoul Sauna in Gardena. I'm not sure if "embarrassing" is the right word - there was this older Asian gentleman, 65+, maybe even in his 70s, walking around the compact spa area, fully erect. And he stayed that way for an hour at least, probably more, because I left. There were a few other guys there, and an attendant, and everyone was just pretending like they didn't see this older, hard-as-rock guy. It was just your average Asian dick, but I mean, even crazy horny gay guys at Century might flash a semi. This was a full hard on. And he would go from pool to shower to steam/sauna, dick pointing the way. All I could think is, he medicated himself for a lady massage, and then he was either oblivious that he was still erect or too old too care.
I'm getting there myself! lol
Lost my key at Century one time, was there early and almost no one there. Couldn't find an attendant anywhere. Had to walk out into the lobby to talk to the desk lady wearing only the little towel. And of course, there were of golf ladies also standing around the front desk. That definitely goes in the embarrassing file.
ReplyDeleteThis was a little bit embarrassing - Back in the late 80s I went to my local YMCA on a Sunday afternoon and fell asleep in the sauna. They apparently did not do a check of the sauna before locking up for the day and closing. I woke up and it was pitch black. I felt my way out of the sauna and worked my way to the front desk, found a phone book, and called the police to let them know I was in the building and did not want to set off any alarms. The police tracked down the manager and he had the audacity to be upset with ME! I gave it right back to him, and more, in the presence of the policeman and told him I wouldn't sue his ass for negligence that could have had a very unhappy ending if had never woke up. He didn't say another word.
