The massage receptionist asked ‘medium or strong?’
I confidently answered ‘Strong’
She gave me an awkward smile and that ‘are you sure’ look.
Okla I changed my answer to ‘A bit strong’
Later as the petite Vietnamese makcik used all her bodyweigbt to untangle the knots in my muscle and started to do karate chop all over my body, I knew that I gave the wrong answer.
Should have been ‘not strong’.
I overestimated my pain threshold
I underestimated the Makcik’s brute strength
Note to myself
In the future, be careful with what you ask for.
It might be more than you can handle.
