Sweat and Tears "I had the most disgusting massage of my life [in Los Angeles] in 2012. Not only was the male masseuse extremely inexperienced, he dripped sweat all over my back. I didn't say anything after the first drip because I couldn't even imagine what could possibly be dripping on my back. (Maybe oil? A broken air conditioner?) He just rubbed it into my back with his hands. Finally, I asked him what the dripping was and he said, 'sweat.' EW!!!" — L.H. via Yelp
