Every time I enter the cinema, I find that the seat I bought comes with a shared massage chair, and the good mood of watching the movie is -1.
Spreading out such a chair means that you have to spend two hours with your neck and waist straight, like a stabbing back, like sitting on pins and needles.
It also means being prepared for it to suddenly go crazy, twist you in place, and endure the disgusted gaze of the next door.
Watching movies now, it is already a blessing to be able to sit in a normal seat
Young Chinese have been sharing massage chairs for a long time, but there is nowhere to escape.
The mall was the first place where shared massage chairs were first occupied.
Since then, wherever the massage chairs are gathered, there will be almost no other serious rest areas around, and if you are tired of shopping and do not want to sit on the massage chair, you can only rub the waiting area of the nearby restaurant.
Then there is the invasion of waiting halls, scenic lounges, hospital waiting rooms and other serious rest areas, especially when the flow of people is so large that it is full, massage chairs are also difficult to find.
Subsequently, movie theaters, KTV, chess and card rooms, and even taxis were not spared.
But any place where you can sit, one day, it has the possibility of upgrading to a shared massage chair.
Recently, some shared massage chairs in public hospitals have been gradually withdrawn, but some private hospitals are still using them on a large scale
The frequent "beatings" and "kidnappings" of shared massage chairs often cause people to die in public places.
There were girls whose long hair was rolled into the massage chair at the train station, and they could only cry for help. Although with the help of everyone, the accident ended with "the woman lost a handful of hair", the degree of social death by onlookers is estimated to make her want to change the station ticket and leave the city immediately.
The master technique of sharing the massage chair also directly kneaded the underwear button, and netizens called this experience "the double humiliation of spirit and flesh".
There are also people who are suddenly cut off by the power in the mall during massage, their bodies are clamped and unable to move, and they are just frozen in the position of being laid flat and lying down, and they are whipped for several minutes by sympathetic eyes from people coming and going.
What is even more outrageous is that while waiting for the bus, he was held hostage by a massage chair, and the staff could not be tamed, twisting and wriggling in front of everyone for nearly half an hour, and had to change his visa when he was released from prison.
This news picture of the "sharing massage chair eating hair incident" spread all over the Internet, causing the woman to die repeatedly
Sharing the massage chair has always been a happy nest for "white sleeping".
Especially for the grandpa and aunt who go to the mall to take a cool, having a massage chair is a good thing for people in the right time and place.
If you have more white, you can cultivate into a deaf ear to the prompt sound of "this massage chair is paid to use, please do not sit idly, affect the use of others".
In order to prevent white prostitution, the shared massage chair painstakingly uses the "anti-sedentary" function, only using the prompt sound is afraid that you are not embarrassed enough, and directly use the physical bulge method to push people out of the seat
But here's the problem.
The shared massage chair first originated in the United States in the 80s of last century, and in the initial stage, it was mainly concentrated in shopping malls, hotels and other large commercial places in developed countries.
The purpose is pure, that is, to provide convenient and fast massage services, will be equipped with full-time personnel management, equipment is a tool, selling is still a service.
In China, sharing massage chairs became popular under the atmosphere of national health preservation, but it played the calculation of "lying down to win" - just selling chairs to earn service fees, the threshold is low, and there are small advertisements everywhere.
The investment in O&M is already insufficient, and there are fewer and fewer paying users, so in order to quickly return the cost, it can only further reduce costs.
As a result, the vicious circle, more and more shared massage chairs have become idle products that no one repairs and no one cleans up.
In the crevices, dust, dander, sweat residues are definitely indispensable, and some have also appeared fleas, mites, moldy garbage, and even giant cockroaches. A while ago, someone lay in a massage chair in the mall for an hour and then had hives all over his body.
You can thank the white party for not disgusting, otherwise sharing the massage chair will only look more deserted.
How dirty the shared massage chair is
The problems of hygiene and damage are old problems of shared products, and many shared bicycles are still on the side of the road without brakes, and they just take a detour after complaining.
But what has made everyone angry again recently is that it almost forcibly outlaws ordinary chairs, encroaching on public spaces to the point where they have no sense of boundaries.
Cinemas are the most complaining examples.
Usually, the shared massage chair of the cinema is placed in the middle of the theater, and there is no way to know when buying tickets, and you can only wait until you enter the theater to admit that you are unlucky, and some movie theaters will be more expensive than ten yuan.
In addition to sitting anti-human, in the summer, this artificial leather is stuffy and sticky, and it grinds over time.
The comfort of this local massage equipment is already relatively high, and it is also convenient for some grumpy netizens to remove it directly
The shared massage chair in the cinema also has the problem of "attacking at any time" and "not stopping".
Especially when watching a horror movie, it will suddenly start rolling on your back and hips when you are defenseless - more scary than the zombies in the movie, more upsetting than having a child kicking a chair in the back seat.
And if you watch a 3D film in a small theater where the viewing effect is not very good, it can help you spit it out directly.
The creak of its friction and the hum of the machine sometimes being loud enough to be heard in the front and back rows -- watching a bad movie is annoying.
Some people complained to the cinema, and the response was: "You move the seat next to it." ”
The response from the high-speed rail station is the same: "High-speed rail passengers who are uncomfortable sitting in shared massage seats can go to the lobby on the first floor to wait." ”
There is also bad news that this "seat upgrade" is being promoted in major theaters, and if you want to take a detour in the future, you may only be able to go to the 4D hall and sofa hall.
Yunnan Pu'er Station. Not only is the shared massage chair at the train station worse hygienic, but in the same waiting area, the number of massage chairs placed is at least 1/3 less than ordinary seats, and many passengers can only stand and wait during peak hours
There are also some loyal users of the shared massage chair, and they will even spend about 10,000 yuan to buy a set of "mall same" at home.
And you have to say that you can't get used to sitting in this massage chair, and you will be refuted by the old Chinese medicine doctors' "pain does not pass, pain does not pass".
If the massage chair makes you uncomfortable, it must not be a problem with the massage chair, it is your "sub-health".
After the shared massage chair is completed, a health report will be sent for reference only
Let's go back to science.
Sharing a massage chair isn't without its soothing effects, but if you really feel like a "tiger chair," it's not necessarily because you don't understand.
There are many "medical accidents" in sharing massage chairs, and the high-incidence areas are people who have lumbar spondylosis, cervical spondylosis, and osteoporosis. There are filial children, seeing the old man sitting happily in the mall, immediately moved a similar model home, and in a blink of an eye, the old man was pressed to a fractured lumbar spine or paralyzed lower limb.
A patient with severe osteoporosis was pressed by a massage chair to a lumbar compression fracture
Although the shared "health care items" are divided into three levels: "awakening the body", "passing qi and blood", and "relaxing the muscles and bones" - the words look at the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, but they are only divided according to the length and price.
Everyone who has used it knows that the old three skills of sharing the massage chair are nothing more than "squeezing", "topping" and "hammering". Force, orientation and manoeuvre are not adaptable.
Therefore, it makes you comfortable and normal, and it is not surprising that you press it wrong, and an improper massage is equivalent to a hammer for nothing.
All kinds of neck massagers, lumbar massage chairs, eye massagers... The "medical principles" behind them are all similar.
Their end points are also mostly similar, and they all break social news: someone has been pressed badly.
If there is any discomfort, the rehabilitation department of the hospital may be the only antidote.
The body parts corresponding to the shared massage chair often do not fit perfectly as shown in the picture, especially for many girls, the two rollers that should massage the neck are often pressed near the back of the head
The shared massage chair is there, and there are pimples everywhere without spending money, and spending money may be a violent beating.
Can't afford to mess with, please give a chance to hide.
Stop stubbornly mashing into common rest areas.
