WWYD: Acknowledge or play dumb?

[fangoriagurkel]

So I have a very much needed nail appointment tomorrow afternoon, but I had WAY too much fun last night and the following happened:

Would you acknowledge the mark or act oblivious?

[tacokick]

I don’t think you can ignore that! Ouch! I’d just say you knocked it on a door frame or something.

[ECB]

IDK. Depends. I wouldn’t want them massaging my hand so I’d probably say “obviously i bruised myself - I’ll skip the hand massage today.” And if i felt like it, i might say “too much fun this weekend!”

[momin2013]

Oh man. Yes I’d acknowledge that. I’d say something like: I’m glad I’m here today, my hands need all the help I can get - I took a little stumble a couple days ago and I’m in rough shape, lol.

[nicolewi]

Um, yeah, I don’t think you can ignore that.

[devonpow]

Just say you hurt yourself and please skip the massage. And….how did that happen??

[momin2013]

Also - are you sure it’s not broken? Can you move your hand ok? That’s pretty nasty-looking…

[Nonny]

You don't have to say what you did, but you can't act oblivious to something that obvious. The person providing the service is going to ask to make sure they don't hurt you more.

You can say what PP already said about skipping the massage. Or if you are like me and sometimes get massive bruises that don't actually hurt you could say something like, "Don't worry about the bruise, I'm fine, and it doesn't hurt."

[katieb4tom]

I’d acknowledge…but how does that happen having fun?

[donutsmakemegonuts]

You can attempt to ignore it but they are gonna ask you about it. Better to prepare your response now. Yikes.

[VillainV]

I think you have to acknowledge it. I’d probably do like PP said and mention that you took a nasty fall (?!?) and please skip the massage part today. Or say something like “It’s in the stage where looks much worse than it feels, but it’s actually not painful. I’ll let you know if you need to stop!”

If you’re interested in sharing, I’d definitely like to hear the story! Did someone step on your hand?

[babsbunny]

Is this a sex injury?

[HRH Queen Dick I]

I'm guessing you got drunk and fell down. A tale as old as time...

Why say anything though? If they say something first then make up your story, but otherwise it's none of their business what happened.

[konapoppy]

The poll might not help since it isn’t clear if yes is acknowledge or play dumb.

Hope you feel better!

Thank you! Should I do X or Y?

Yes
No



I assume yes = acknowledge, given the poll responses and the written responses.

[wildrice]

Just tell them what happened without mentioning the intoxication part of it. People fall or otherwise injure themselves all the time when sober so if you're embarrassed about the circumstances, just leave that part out.

If you don't mention it they will probably ask, and if you are evasive they might assume you are being abused, so I'd probably want to avoid that!

[waverly]

I vote cancel the appointment.

I’ve had an incredibly long day so forgive me if I’m missing it-are you the OP?

In any case, I wouldn’t say anything unless they bring it up first. I would def skip the massage part though-that looks painful. Feel better!

As in the nail tech would go “woah what happened?” And you would pretend to be all “what? I had no idea that was there!” Don't do that. It will be an obvious lie and would make it seem like you were hiding something. Personally I would cancel the appointment, because I wouldn’t want anyone touching my hand when it was that bruised. But if you go, obviously point it out and ask the tech to be careful with that hand.

[erbear]

WTF?

[W.T.Faulkner]

Is stepping on somebody’s hand a sex thing? I think everything is probably a sex thing for someone out there in the world.

[mofongo]

Dude! WTF happened?

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Besides the obvious bondage injury we have going on here (I kid, I have no idea how it happened and no judgment either way)

Anyone else imagining the scene from Steel Magnolias when Truvy said, "What's this?? Shelby! It looks like you've been driving nails up your arm!"

I recently watched a show where YES a man paid a woman to step on his hand, repeatedly, as a sexual act. So completely random lol! The Sinner, Season 1.

[HRH Queen Dick I]

If it exists in the world there is porn for it (Rule 34) and it is someone's sexual fetish (Rule 41).

This reminds me that rebneen never ever came back after her poll on asking someone to not sit at a restaurant table went sideways.

Oh wow, I forgot about that. And you weren't kidding about never ever - literally there hasn't been any board participation since that post. 

[circa1978]

I would 100 percent step on people for money. DM me if you are interested.
