Couldn’t care less. If you want to record me, whatever.
That is my personal philosophy, but I understand why others might differ.
Two things-
Deck changing in the locker room is asinine. While shaving your balls in the sink is a bridge to far, the whole point of a non coed locker room is to be able to free yourself while dressing.
Phones area no go. On the rare occasion I get to my locker and think I need to check out a text, or email, phone stays inside the locker while I briefly skim the message. More than that and it waits until I get outside.
my gym has a tv in the locker room. that’s just inviting people to spend way more time in the locker room than is necessary. I come in, change, head to the pool. come out of the pool, shower, change, then leave. I don’t get why people are loitering around in there. After I change, I have my phone and am typically checking messages as I’m walking out.
I dunno, I think some folks are a little too comfortable in the birthday suit.
Hang your towel over the shower rod/curtain, dry off and around the waist and to your locker. It’s amateur hour if you can’t put on boxers under your towel sarong. If you can’t/don’t, then don’t walk all over the damn place getting towels and items and talking to people while your dong is hanging out.
Any self respecting road cyclist can do the towel/sarong change-job in a parking lot and never achieve anything or offend anyone worthy of a ticket from a cop.
You don’t have to be ashamed, but at the same time it’s a bit silly for endless dong-city in locker rooms.
On occasion I’ve seen people using their phones in a locker room. If I can see the camera lens then I’ll say something. A simple, “hey man, please don’t point that camera at me” usually suffices.
There are signs in our change room that say no cameras or cell phones. I have called people out on it. Invariably their reply is they are not “that guy” who would take somebody’s picture. My reply is I don’t know what “that guy” looks like.
one of the more useful phrases I’ve heard (I heard it used a lot on Pawn Stars ):
“It’s not that I don’t trust you, it is that I don’t trust anyone.”

I feel the same way. There are (usually older guys) in my locker room who will not only hang out, but sit down butt naked and just talk like they are sitting at a coffee shop. Not only are they smearing their old man butt all over the benches, but they are taking up valuable real estate. To say nothing about that they are standing around in a group, totally naked…for no reason.
Though my worst experience was someone walking up to me naked and asking if I would help pull the bandaids they had on their back off. I promptly told him no and he was so offended that he stormed off.
First time I’ve ever even thought about this, and I’m in the gym like 5x a week. Assuming you’re a guy, I’d say you’re probably too uptight, but we all have our own personal boundaries. Forbidding cell phone use locker rooms makes perfect sense to me.
On more the one occasion I’ve dealt with people using their phone to play music in the locker room without earplugs. I had no interest in listening to their music but they didn’t seem to care.

I’m mature enough to admit I handled that poorly, my bust. The guy who I had asked to shave my back the day before did a very poor job, hence the band aids, but in hindsight I can now see why you were uncomfortable. Any good with a razor?

HAHA. This person was clearly fresh off of some sort of mole removal. Which of course, violates this pools rules about being in the water with “open wounds” but that’s a whole other complaint.

Definitely should have told him about the moles, and it hurt like hell when he shaved them off…
A lot of strange stuff happens in dong-city. Perhaps you offended him by asking him about his crank length?

The issue is that is almost impossible to tell if someone is filming. We never allowed tripod video cameras in locker rooms but the resolution with a cell is better. Minors also need to learn this. They video a friend and pass it along in high school and it’s distributing child pornography. This is actually happening and many are lucky not to be sex offenders for life. Some people get screwed over too though.
Signs and social pressure. Just like smoking. But you are totally correct about the enforcement. People need to step up and ask about it or talk about.
The issue is how would you actually enforce the no cell phone rule?
You simply pull out your phone and video them while they’re on their phone. Then you find the person who is in charge of enforcing all of the rules at your gym/pool, show them the video, and they’ll take care of everything.
