OK, this one is getting more and more hits and receives more replies and finally got Disturbia's attention!
So, what's the reason for your post in first place? You could show your appreciation to that lady and post a nice review about her NOT a thread with a subject like this:
How to lie and get discount from your MPA for dummies!
Financial issues, recession and things like that are just pure sh*t! We are not there yet.
These big stupid money hungry companies who don't give a damn and let people go right during XMAS time deserve to go down the toilet.
BUT, it's NOT the end of the world for those people who get lay off. And, certainly they don't go to SPA to get a HJ $20 cheaper! Instead, they plan with their head (not the lower one!) and get back on their feet.
These are valid when you don't have money for necessities of life, ex. feed your kids, pay your rent and etc. NOT because you can't afford someone to give you HJ! What kind of financial trouble is that? I feel bad for that poor lady who believed you.
Even if you, like all other men (well, most!) need this, use your own hands...it's certainly cheaper for both you and your favorite MPA and less time consuming for people banging on their keyboards discussing discounts and etc...... without responding to the guilty one who started it all!
I rest my case here....
EDIT --> On 2nd thought, I am proud of that lady who gave you discount. She felt sorry for you. She gave that discount because of your weakness and maybe thinking you were a suicidal or maybe even go outside and harass some poor girl.
