Lady next to me: Ive been watching you spit water out of your mouth after each rep. That's gross.
Me: I'm not spitting up saliva, just the pool water that gets in my mouth. Sometimes I rinse pool water with clean water from my bottle, and spit that in the drain.
Lady: That's just disgusting! I have to swim in here!
Me: It's just pool water, with maybe a bit of saliva that the water pulled from my mouth. A lot more saliva gets in the pool from everyone while they are swimming. When you swim, pool water washes saliva out of your mouth. The mouth produces a lot of saliva.
Lady: That's just not true! Gross! And the people who get in here while sweaty just disgusts me!
Me: You know swimming causes everyone to sweat. So we are all sweating in the pool relative to how hard we are swimming.
Lady: That's just not true!
Me: You know besides the bit of saliva that may come out with pool water, most people get a lot of snot and mucus out while swimming as well.
Lady: That's disgusting! You shouldn't be doing that! I have to swim here!
Me: You know, your saliva and sweat gets in here too.
Lady: That's just not true!
Me: You're being a bit naive here.
Lady: I am not. You're disgusting.
Me: You know some people pee in here too. Maybe 10% or more.
Lady: That's just disgusting! And you shouldn't have to spit out pool water either!
Me: But I don't enjoy drinking it. When it gets in my mouth, i want it out. When I occasionally rinse my mouth, i spit that water in the drain. What would you like me to do?
Lady: Well, don't get pool water in your mouth in the first place!
Me: Huh?
Lady: Just blow bubbles the whole time while you are swimming.
Me: Are you serious?
Lady: What you do is disgusting! I have to swim here! And I have to walk near the drain! It's just disgusting.
Me: If you think what I do is disgusting, then maybe you shouldn't swim in a pool, as this is one the cleaner things going on here.
Lady: You're disgusting!
Me: Please leave me alone.
Lady: It's just gross! I have to swim here!
Me: You're being naive. Mind your own business.

I think this mysophobic lady belongs in the strange denizens thread, too! :)

Does the pool attract especially crazy people, or is it just that the pool puts us in repeated proximity to them over the course of our workouts? Yikes!
