    Was looking for a place to get a pedicure. Google recommended a LGBT friendly place close to where I live. I called them up. They asked if I wanted lacquer. I said, no, I am male. They answered: we cannot give you an appointment before October. What?

    I went downtown and went to an Asian place. Male friendly people there.

    • Pedicure? Simon... you're a really rare bird ;)OBBTKN
    • p.s.: me or my wife (rarely) take care of my feet, but paying for it? Sorry, the first guy I know who does it...OBBTKN
    • I find pretty hands and feet quite important.SimonFFM
    • You didn't want laquer because you are man. In the end went to a male friendly place as opposed to a LGBT friendly place.
      Ponder on that a little bit.      palimpsest
    • Started reading this post, when I read 'they asked if i wanted lacquer' I presumed this was a setup line a joke and was waiting for a cracking punchline.microkorg

    • Probably this was only an unconscious statement of how boring my life still is. Many steps to take until my work life is back to normal.SimonFFM

    • You think they said it's a two week wait because you're a man? Also, pedicures are awesome +1monospaced
    • Lots of men get lacquer, not great to imply that the two are mutually exclusive. The receptionist maybe weeded you on a gut reaction. Somewhat reasonable.sarahfailin
    • I had called 2 other places before and they both said they make only women. Their decision but it felt like asking for something forbidden. All cool now.SimonFFM

    • I do very much appreciate men's feet not being rough and mangled especially when yall wanna snuggle. Good hygiene yano?shellie
    • the amount even low maintenance women have to do, is it too much to ask that you regularly pumice and occasionally let a pro do it?shellie
