Hellobee Boards

i try to give off the "i don't want to chit chat" vibe. going to the spa is such a luxury for me that I want to completely enjoy and take advantage of my time there, which for me means, peace and quiet!!

I prefer silence. Even when just getting a hair cut. It's my relaxing time...and that means silence. Haha so I never start the convo

DH thinks I'm crazy because I'd rather talk. I used to have a massage therapist that I loved because she would tell me all about her life. Her moving in with her boyfriend, her friend as their roommate, the first time I was in there she told me that she thought she was pregnant and hadn't told anyone yet! It was just a scare, but then she did end up getting pregnant and quitting It's more relaxing to me to listen to all the drama because if I sit in silence I'm just sitting there thinking about my own drama in my life.

I talk as little as possible. For facials and massage, I go to the same people I've been going to for years so we have a routine worked up so nothing is awkward. I chit-chat before/after the treatment, I never talk during the treatment. I'm there to relax, and I hate when someone is talking my ear off.

I feel like I make enough small-talk that I don't want to make throughout the workday, I'm not making more when I'm paying someone and I'm trying to chill and relax!

@knittylady: haha, I like your idea of opting out! Chatty massage therapists are such a pet peeve (and my curse, I always get a chatterbox!)
