Shower Etiquette At The Gym...Rant

oh, well not shower pics! :wink:

First of all Mr. IAMAHOTTWENTYYEAR OLD, I took ten other showers today across from guys who were much hotter than you.

Second of all, why don’t you stop leaving notes in my locker telling me what stall you will be in.

<< unless something is hanging past his knees, then I could understand, but that’s not my case >>

well you should have clarified that in the first place.

I see your point Joe but maybe you should lighten up some.

Kerri, it’s not online anymore… we demand a repost! :)))

yes it is, under the ā€œpost a picā€ thread.

I don’t know - sure seems like it’s intentional and inappropriate…

Which pool is that???

Squirrel? I won’t comment on that :slight_smile:

Anyway… the Pose Police is going to catch you sooner or later!

yes it is, under the ā€œpost a picā€ thread.

I’ll save everyone the trouble of finding the right place in the post your pic thread. Here is Kerri…

Now somehow everything just seems right in the world.

"At my pool, there are only three showers, us gals share showers, are you telling me this is wrong? "

pant, pant, drool

Hard to believe Tibbs hasn’t jumped on this thread.

There used to be an animated email that went around called ā€œThe Bathroom gameā€. It was hilarious, it pretty much described how to behave in this type of situation, as it applied to urinals.

while I may be in the minority here, I can’t say that I’ve had the same problem (or I suppose I could have just been oblivious to it). at the pool where I used to do my workouts, many of the old guys go use the older showers in another room. so almost the reverse.

You should have just asked him to tip you after each shower/show… you might need the extra money if entry fees and gym memberships keep going up.

See my comments on the ā€˜heavy breathers’ thread.

It’s time to buy a sign…

…and a gun.

Similar rules should be followed with urinals. If there are 5 of them and I am the only one up there do not come stand right next to me!!! Its just strange.

Reminds me of a rather spirited debate I had with my roomates in college (OK, we had a bit too much time on our hands :-)). Here’s the scenario: Three urinals, A, B, and C. A is a ā€œkiddieā€ urinal… about a foot lower than the ā€œnormalā€ urinals B and C. You are at C, A and B are empty. Someone walks in. Are they forced to take urinal A to avoid taking the one next to you? Or are they allowed to be a Man instead of a Boy and use B?

(Frankly, I think the guy has to use A… I think pride must take a back seat to the ā€œleave a space if possibleā€ rule)

I’m right there with you. We have 5 showerheads in the open, and the old guys will sit there chatting for a long time. At first I thought it was kind of weird, but now that I’ve been there a while, I will talk to the guys I swim with about organizing clinics, how their races went, etc, while showering. It makes the time more productive, especially since you can’t really talk while swimming.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not lingering in there, but everybody knows everybody else, and you have to take a shower, so you might as well chat. Or not. Your choice. I’ve never had anyone standing there staring at me either. I guess the guys just don’t find me attractive. It must be all the body hair. ;p

The old farts at the YMCA where I swim tend to hang out naked in the locker room. It’s sort of their ā€œclub.ā€ Sittin’ around, drinkin’ their coffee, talkin’ about the weather. Every day its the same routine. I see more wrinkled hairy asses before 7:30 AM than most people deserve to in their lifetime. It’s sort of like living near a train track, where the train goes by so much you don’t notice it any more. Just tune it out.

Lots of photos please so we can determine varying degrees of possible wrongness. in the Lavender room if necessary, but we need proof!

Repost the pic and add the shower ones…no, seriously!
