Today, I went to get a nice, relaxing hot stone massage. Instead I got second degree burns on my legs. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Fully relaxed
Today, I was getting a full-body massage at a spa when the masseuse dropped hot stones directly on my stomach. As I jumped up in shock and slight pain, the oils and towels all fell off me, leaving me completely naked in front of the spa receptionist. FML

Treat Yourself Day (derogatory)
Today, I was supposed to be treating myself to a relaxing spa day, thinking it would be a great way to unwind. That was until the massage therapist somehow gave me a "reverse" massage that left me sore in places I didn’t know could get sore. I paid for this torture, and now I can’t even walk properly. FML

Knock out
Today, I treated myself to a Thai massage. The masseuse was so aggressive and intense, she left me with injuries on my hands and back. I paid $60 for someone to hurt me. FML

Today, I burned my butt on the heater when I tried to warm up after my shower. FML

Today, I got a massage. Just as I was starting to relax, the massage therapist drooled on my face. FML

This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff

I've had enough
Today, I was in pain due to overdoing it at the gym yesterday, so I thought a hot shower might help. Not only was there no hot water because of my sister's hour long showers, but I slipped getting out and hit my head. Now the pain is worse. FML

Today, I went for a much needed relaxing massage. As I lay down, the renovation works in the next building started up. FML

Third degree
Today, my wife left her curling iron on the bed, which was dangerous enough, but I also accidentally sat on it after my shower. Now I have a burn on the bottom of my balls, which has turned into a painful blister. FML

Today, I was applying some Icy Hot to my sore thighs, when I accidentally got a little on my dime sacks. For the next hour, it felt like someone had lit a match under my plums. FML

Today, I finished a full marathon and just wanted to relax and get pampered by my husband afterwards. Instead, I spent the evening taking care of him and his back because he had a spasm. Don't worry, he feels much better now. Meanwhile, I can’t move my legs. FML

hot stones on bare skin never seemed like a good idea to me. i mean who came up with this? dont you think instant burns?

Totally agree! I always decline those...I can't imagine how that could be soothing.

Why would you think anything with the word stone and massage in the same sentence be relaxing

Well if it was stoned and massage I might have signed myself up.

I do believe that a lawsuit is in order. Even if you signed a waiver, if they overheated the rocks you can get paid for your troubles.

Ooft, Burns suck! But the 'Hot stone' In 'Hot stone massage' should've been hint. Maybe OP has sensitive skin?

I never thought those hot rocks were that beneficial to pay for it. What they should do is have them put under a mattress, then you lay on it, and relax. Regardless no one should pay for burning! Sorry that you had a bad experience!

Hot stone massages are amazing, if done correctly. (Just for the people questioning why one would want to get it done.) They always (should) check the temperature before placing the stones on you. Sounds like you went to someone without experience. FYL

Yep, this right here. I guess if OP ever does go try it again s/he will make sure they check. Or I'd hope anyway. That's not a mistake that warrants repeating.

If it was me I'd throw a hot stone at them. Just cause I'd hate to get blemishes from that.

Yes, because op would pick up the object that gave her second-degree burns.
