5. Her Bizarre Work History

Phoebe's work life has been just as peculiar as her personal life. She has been a massage therapist offering many services and has had some bizarre moments in her professional past. Once, she said that she was possessed while giving a massage, and her profession has not saved her from insulting clients as well. One notable incident was when she dumps a guy because he "enjoys" her massages a little too much. It is in refusing to live up to the standards of traditional work that her job choices become so different and her approach to business so comically unpredictable.
