Today, I went to get my first manicure. While waiting, I looked at the menu board. When I wondered aloud: "I know what a French manicure is, but what on Earth is a Polish change?" The whole place started laughing and I guess I'm not going back. FML

Polish change is put REALLY HOT wax on your balls and remove all the hairs. It when they change the color of your nails.

Well, to be fair, I probably would have done that too.

I don't see a reason for you to never return. It happens often. Don't worry OP.

How do I have up votes? I didn't read it properly. I thought it mean Polish change as in the nail enamel. Not that she said Polish change as in the country. I need down votes for stupidity, please.

After reading your comment I realized it was nail polish and not Poland polish. I'm so smart wow.

Context. You're in a nail salon so it really should have occured to you that it's "polish change" as in nail polish, not "Polish" as in Poland. Nonetheless it's not a big deal that warrants never coming back.

Another piece of context is that some other services are named for countries, ie. 'French' manicure. So it's really not so difficult to see why OP's mind went that way.
