<p>Any misconceptions I had about massage therapy being a wholesome profession were dashed during that<a href="https://www.someecards.com/entertainment/television/matt-leblanc-arm-sling-friends/"> <em>Friends</em></a> episode when Phoebe&#39;s client tried to grab her ass. So the jig is up, people who pay for massages: we&#39;re ON TO YOU (I know, I know #NotAllMassageClients). And after reading these horror stories from people who work in the industry, I&#39;ve decided massage therapists are the unsung heroes of our time.</p><p>Someone asked the massage therapists of Reddit, &quot;<a data-event-action="title" data-href-url="/r/AskReddit/comments/y8y10/massage_therapists_of_reddit_what_are_some_of/" data-inbound-url="/r/AskReddit/comments/y8y10/massage_therapists_of_reddit_what_are_some_of/?utm_content=title&amp;utm_medium=front&amp;utm_source=reddit&amp;utm_name=AskReddit" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/y8y10/massage_therapists_of_reddit_what_are_some_of/" rel="nofollow" tabindex="1">what are some of your most awkward or disgusting experiences with clients?</a>&quot; And these heroes delivered.

Now my mom, as is standard procedure, asks this woman to disrobe and get under the covers while my mom waited outside. When she came back in after a few minutes after asking if the woman was done, the woman was standing in the middle of the room completely naked. The woman said &quot;Honey, I&#39;m sure you&#39;ve seen more than this in your day.&quot; She had not. 11.
