(#5) Their Client Had A Specific Creepy Request
From Reddit user /u/triknic:
I had a client who, it turns out, was my first repeat request. I was excited that I was finally starting to build clientele! When I greeted him in reception, I felt like something was off. He was talking loudly and asking if I remembered him. (I didn't, really. I was a little vague.) On our way to the room I asked him what he wanted to focus on in his session. "My bum," was his reply.
In the intake he kept saying he wanted his "bum" worked, and his belly rubbed (I told him I don't do that). He also insisted there would be a great tip for me if I "took care of him." I asked him to clarify what he meant by all this, but he remained vague. I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. I didn't want to end the session when he technically hadn't propositioned me, but I had a really bad feeling.
About a minute into the massage he asked me to remove his blankets. I told him that wasn't possible, as we needed to maintain a professional boundary. He threw them off anyway, and for a moment was lying there face down and totally [undressed]... And that was my official cue to throw the creep out!
It's nice to be able to laugh about these things now, but the truth is it was really upsetting. Being alone in a room with a strange [unclothed] man who wants you to play with his [bum] is not as cool as it sounds.

(#7) Their Client Was A Moaner
From a former Redditor:
I am still fairly new to being [a registered massage therapist]. The worst thing to happen so far was when I was in the student clinic. There [were] about six rooms divided by hospital curtains that we would massage in. I had one gentleman who came in with lower back pain. Little did I know how good I actually was at massaging. From outside the curtain you would think there was some freaky stuff going on.
He was moaning like a female [skin-flick] star. I was extremely uncomfortable, but he was just showing his appreciation. He came back week after week and it just became normal. But clients would make sure to tell the supervisor they thought something was going on...

(#12) Their Client Required Dead Skin Removed Monthly
From Reddit user /u/Aremtee:
One of my regular clients had some horrific [health problem] that required work on his calf. I can't remember the details, but I can never forget his leg. It had to have the dead flesh removed every month. It flaked off in large chunks.
His Achilles tendon was exposed to the point I could see behind it. He had moved to the town to spend time walking in the ocean. After a few months there was actually an improvement.

(#1) They Got Farted On - Then Blamed For It
From Reddit user /u/Classicrocker07:
A large female client wanted focus on her glutes. Needless to say, I was farted on while she was alseep.
Her own fart woke her up, and she then accused me of farting because there were trace amounts of fart still in the air.

(#3) His Client Grabbed Him Right Next To Her Husband
From Reddit user /u/xAvaricex:
Horror story: this not very attractive lady in her late 40s grabbed my junk during a couple's massage. With her husband on the adjacent table.
It was so awkward telling her, "Please stop. Keep your hands on the table, please."

(#13) Their Client's Cyst Popped During The Massage
From Reddit user /u/Rhinomeat:
I just graduated in April, and I have seen some things...
There was a guy that would come to the on-campus clinic to get a massage from the students. Well, one day his cyst popped... warm pus flew 3 feet and hit the curtain. [It] smelled [disgusting].
