More locker room Hijinx....... (Page 3)

So last night I walk into the locker room at the Y later than usual and it's empty.  There are a few locks here and there but nobody in the room.  I go over to a random locker and start changing.  I think there are 10 rows of lockers with 15 or 20 lockers on each side.

So I'm standing there half dressed and in walks this guy who kind of stands at the end of the row where I am.  I kind of nod to him and them he walks over and opens up the locker RIGHT NEXT TO the one I'm in.

I say, "dude!"

He says, "what?"

I say, "you can't find another locker in this whole empty room?"

He says, "I always use ths one"

I say, "not today"....and I shut his locker.

He just stands there......and then he kind of starts looking around, and then he kind of starts wringing his hands and looking really distraught, and then it dawns on my stupid arse that the guy is autistic or something similar and he really can't figure out what to do.  I felt like a schmuck. 

I said, "here bud, I'm sorry" and opened his locker back up.....he didn't miss a beat, and looked like he just found his long lost friend.

There's a moral here somewhere......mostly it's about not being stupid.

I had a BT nightmare this weekend.  In my dream, I was the guy who walked up right next to the only other person in the locker room.  It was horrifying as I found myself using advice I'd seen on this board after I posted about my experience.

Guy at loocker: "Dude!!"

Me: "what? Maybe you should ease up on the caffiene intake"

Guy at locker, closing my door:  "Excuse me"

Me: ~rips his clothes out of his locker and throws them across the room~

Guy at locker:  "wtf is wrong with you?"

Me: "why are you so insecure, are you on 'roids'?"

Guy at locker: "you're crazy, I bet I know what's wrong with you"

Me: ~walking away~ "you better thank your lucky stars I'm not from Minnesota!!"

I haven't slept in two days worried it will be re-occuring.

lol.. funny.

I don't think anyone on this site has a clue as to what is wrong with you...  Another thought worth pondering though... 

That said, there's no way I'm going to tell another paying member what locker (or other equipment) he can or can't use. Lighten up a bit.

You know, Kate, I have feelings. 

He's a paying customer, I'm sure if it doesn't say "please don't shave your stomach in the water fountain" he's fine.

I'd just stand in front of him with a cup and say "MOVE IT!"

Yeah, but then he might move... it.

That's so bad.

I agree with the kudo's for you LB for being sensitive enough to do the right thing.

I don't consider anything that happens on BT to be "piled on".....it's just discussion.....doesn't make a hill of beans.  Sometimes you learn something, sometimes you don't, sometimes you're right, sometimes you're wrong....but always it's just entertainment, so who cares?

WTF is wrong with you man?

Seriously?

It's a locker room if you are afraid someone is going to see you naked then dress at home and then come in to the gym.
