This massage place was open to the mall and had only those trifold Asian screens for privacy so I felt a bit awkward. I told her I just wanted a short neck and should thing and she replied, "yeah, take off shirt and shoes." So complied, awkwardly, and this little tiny woman who was probably less than half size proceeded to climb all over me and give me the most brutal massage of my life. I like a good firm massage but this was pretty over the top. She was grinding her knee into my back, punching me, pulling at my muscles like she was trying to debone a chicken. Like I said, it was ridiculous, and the whole time all I could hear was mall muzak and families talking as they walked by.
