In case you didn't know, I'm a picker.
So much so that I would probably be able to legally change my name to Picky McPickerson.
I blame it on Judy.
You name it, I'll pick it.
Zits.
Ingrown hairs.
Peeling skin.
I draw the line at picking noses.
Except my baby's nose - I totally do that.
As a massage therapist, being a picker is a HUGE drawback.
It's not like I can pick what I see.
I just have to pretend it's not there and massage over it.
The other day, I had a man on the table who had a ginormous back pimple.
Right on his left rhomboid - an area I go over and over and over.
It almost killed me not to "accidentally" scrape it.
When he was done, he went to the aesthetician to have a back facial (whatever that's called).
Afterwards, I asked the aesthetician if she'd seen the zit - it was that big.
She said that yes, she'd seen it, and yes, she'd "extracted" it.
Wait, what??
That's right, she'd picked it.
And guess what else?
"Extractions" were part of her aesthetician training.
As in she gets paid to do it.
I've obviously chosen the wrong career path.

ROFLOL!!
Dude!! I'm a huge picker too and the first time I went to an aesthetician, I knew that was my calling in life! Jeff will let me pick like one zit and then he's done. He has NO pain tolerance. Now, I just need to find the time to become an aesthetician...
I'm a picker too!! My cuticles are crap, scabs and pimples (on myself) are hardly ever safe, my toenails, my fingernails....etc. My sister painted my toenails the other day and was appalled to find that she could paint my pinky toenail because it was basically nonexistent (I may have picked it off all the way by mistake a time or two). I know its disgusting, but I CANNOT stop myself. Its usually totally mindless...unless its a scab. That's a mission.
