What do you need to see for

Im a busybody I had been working on my house doing major and minor repairs. Because that shit is expensive, I learned how to do a lof of things on youtube university but what I saved in cash, I paid for with the physical exertion of my body. I had already been on my feet for hours as a hairstylist for over 20 years, and for the last 5 of them I was also doing manual labor. My feet began to hurt. I was having pain when I stepped down and it lasted for days. I told FrampCamp GoodMan about it and he suggested that I go to a Chinese foot spa, so I went.

Without much research, I ended up in Torrence at a random chinese foot spa. It was a decent looking place. I go in, they walk me to the back. It was a room with about 12 massage tables spread about 3 feet apart from each other. The lights were dim and spa music was playing. The back door which lead directly to the alley was open, which means that as cars and people were passing by you could see and hear them. There were no curtains to serve as partitions between the patrons being serviced…we were just all in that bitch, close enough to hold hands while ming ling rubbed our feet. I didnt like the setup AT ALL, but I was already there and was just trying to get it over with to see if It would help.

Ming ling tells me to put all my belongings in a tray. I did what she asked and I handed it to her. She said “Please take off your glasses.” I said "for what?” she said the service included a scalp massage. For context, If I were to hold my hand at arms distance in front of my face, I would NOT be able to see it clearly WITHOUT corrective lenses. Thats how bad my sight is. I had been wearing my glasses to give myself a break from the contacts I over wear and I hate wearing glasses in public because if they fall off my face I would have a hard time finding them on my own.

 IT SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE SHIT ONE COULD EVER EXPERIENCE. 

So when she asked me to TAKE MY EYES OFF and put them in a TRAY that she would be putting somewhere else, I wasnt fucking with it. I told her I would keep them and put them in my bra. So here I am, laying face up on this table as ming ling is rubbing my feet. My vision is blurry and im trying to relax to the music. I close them. No sooner than I do i can hear people walking by the alley and the cars going by. I opened my eyes to see whats going on, boom, blurry vision. I close my eyes again, a few moment later I feel the air of someone passing by, I open my eyes, and catch a blurry glimpse of a large lady was walking passed me with a chinese man. They placed her behind me. Within in 10 minutes of her getting a massage, she fell asleep and was snoring louder than the music. IT WAS A LOT OF SHIT GOING ON.  I sat through it because I was in need of relief. When it was over, the massage wasnt bad, but I realized that I would need a private room next time so I booked for the following weekend in a private room. 

I got home that night and talked to FrampCamp GoodMan. 

He asked "how did you like the massage? 

I said, “Well the massage was cool, but I was uncomfortable”.

 Why were you uncomfortable? 

I began to explain everything I said above but in a different order and I ended with “And I couldnt wear my glasses” 

He said “What do you need to see for, youre getting a massage?” 

Internally I thought that was the stupidest fucking question…like who doesnt need to see? I am a woman, I always need to see whats happening to me and around me…the fuck! 

So I said “I dont know, anything could happen” 

He goes “Anything like what”

The man who trains several times a day for hypothetical fights is legitamately asking me what I need to see for and anything like what… 

I said “ I dont know, someone could have robbed the place.”

 He said " Aint nobody running up in no massage parlor. When was the last time a massage parlor was robbed. if anything the FEDS might run up in there because they think its a sex ring going on BUT, niggas are not robbing massage parlors.”  

(Per his most recent admission he is an "Ultracrepidarian" but before he learned that new shiny word he could wait to use to impress you niggas he loves most, he frequently called it "Fat Mouthing", as he calls it...really laying it on thick like he was speaking a FACT, not simply his opinion. Again, in my head im like this is some of the stupidest shit I have ever had to defend…like im really defending why sight is important)

 So I said “If that were the case I’d still need to SEE what was happening around me” 

He immediately got an attiude and said “man think what you want, Im not about to go back and forth with you, I gotta get up early. Imma talk to you. Have a good night” and he hung up the phone.

I was baffled, like since when does wanting to be able to SEE make me problematic. Then I started thinking, 

what the fuck did I do wrong here? 

He asked me my feelings..

 then antagonized them to the point where I had to defend why I need to see,

 like Im crazy or something.

Maybe I am a little OD but we were only talking about possibilities because HE wanted to know why sight is important.

Well Shit,  WHEN WAS the last time a massage parlor got robbed????

Let me look it up. I look it up 👏🏾 TURNS OUT! 

A string of 60 MASSAGE PARLOR ROBBERIES had taken place just TWO MONTHS PRIOR, in guess fucking where? TORRANCE, while this doofus was trying to make me feel crazy for wanting to SEE, in every scenario.

So I sent him the article along with a list of things for him to be thankful for as a man with 20/20 vision and the ability to kill with his hands. What I thought I would get was him finally understanding my position and perhaps a  "damn, I had no idea that was happening my bad" like the emotionally mature person he portrays himself online would say but instead I got:
