Freaky stuff that happens at the pool (Page 5)

I hope nobody is eating when they read this.  Funny though that this thread started yesterday, I actually had my first real weird experience at the pool yesterday during my lunchtime swim.

I do my workout, finish up and get out the pool, and I notice 2 guys sitting in the hot tub.  No big deal, so I walk into the locker room and take a shower.  As I step out of the shower, one of the guys from the hot tub comes walking in.  Guy probably in his late 60's or early 70's, goes up to the counter makes small talk with me while I'm changing.  Still nothing out of the ordinary, except all of a sudden he drops his suit to his knees, mid-conversation.  He keeps talking, like nothing is weird.  He then proceeds to take some paper towels and starts wiping his crack.  He does this two or three times, and throws his "dirty" paper towels in the garbage can!  Goo!  I stopped talking, turned back to my locker, finished getting dressed and high-tailed it out of there!  I mean, in retrospect, I guess you couldn't really flush them down the toilet without clogging it, but man, use a stall!  Plus he was just sitting in the hot tub.  Note to self, no more hot tub at that gym.

Who does number two work for?

aggiegrad96 - 2009-06-19 10:04 AM This wasn't necessarily a weird person....When I was just starting to get in the pool and learn to freestyle (this was February of this year), I was slower than slow.  (Now I'm just slow)  I was pretty proud that I could actually do 50 yds without stopping.  Well, there was this older man, late 70's maybe, in the next lane who was just going and going.  He was just an awesome swimmer!  He got out of the pool, grabbed his walker and hobbled away.

Yeah, I got lapped multiple times by a senior citizen in a walker!

I stand in front of my locker COMPLETELY NAKED and towel off; anybody want to post here about that? Jeez.

Slidell4life - 2009-06-19 12:16 PM  Here's a game-changer. I'll bet there is at least one nude-gym-lurker reading this thread right now.  Am I right?

offrhodes - 2009-06-18 12:42 PM Not related to anyone taking my stuff, but just plain weird is this guy that shows up wearing a womens one piece bathing suit.  I thought I was seeing things the first time, but just last week I saw him again.  I just do not get that.

VO2Matt - 2009-06-19 1:08 PM I've got a great one for ya The other day I was at the pool doing my normal workout and I notice this guy leaving the locker room and walking toward the pool. At first I thought he was naked, but when I looked again, I could see he was wearing what looked like the bottom part of a bikini. He must have been hard on his luck (and wearing his wife's swim suit) because he looked really thin, like he hadn't eaten in days and his goggles were all worn out...The little rubber seal thing was missing and the straps were just tied on. Then I noticed that he was completely hairless (except for his head...weird), so maybe he was just sick. I felt bad, but it's kind of hard NOT to stare. So I continue on with my aqua-walking-water-aerobics-fusion workout and keep watching him out of curiosity. He obviously didn't know how to swim very well..at one point he was just using one arm...later in his workout though, he must have got better because he started swimming normally, although he kept stopping at the wall and looking at the clock. I guess he had to leave by a certain time, but I'm not sure how much good that clock would do him as it never shows the right time. Once I was done with my walking, I decided I wanted to do a little kicking, but the kick boards were REALLY far away. I look over and my emaciated friend had like two or three sitting there, so I borrowed one. As I'm doing my balance work, trying to stand on it, the guy comes back, looks for the kick board and then gives me an evil look, like I stole his property. Hey, they belong to the pool, not him and he wasn't using it. I finished my workout, glad to be leaving such a strange guy behind, and headed for the shower. I take my time, lather up really well, do a few push ups, you know...normal shower stuff. As I'm walking back to my locker, I notice that the game is on the TV, so I stop for a minute and take a seat to watch it for a while. I'm still naked, but hey...it's the locker room, you're SUPPOSED to be naked. I guess I got lost in the game, because next thing I know it's 45 min later, and the guy from the pool just walked back in the locker room and gave me a funny look. What's his problem any way? I decide it's time to mosey back home and feed my 10 cats, so I wander back to my locker, stopping to talk to the regulars on the way. As I'm chatting, I see pool guy sneak past me, avoiding eye contact, and head to his locker where he changes into these really short running shorts (they must have been a full 3" ABOVE his knees!) and put on some running shoes. I thought to myself...didn't he just finish working out? Oh well. He must have just run home from there, because I was walking around talking for the next hour and never saw him come back. What a strange fellow.

Slidell4life - 2009-06-19 12:16 PM

yeah, i've only reported one guy. He followed me around the lockerroom naked. I went to work out and when I finished, an hour later, it was still in there naked and alone. 

 

Here's a game-changer. I'll bet there is at least one nude-gym-lurker reading this thread right now.  Am I right?

I had this happen to me two times, 8 months apart, same guy. I'll tell it from the 2nd time it happened.

I'm doing my swim and inbetween sets/intervals I notice a guy going from the sona or hot tub back to the locker room quite a few times. I don't really give much thought to it, except that the guy looks vaguely familiar, which is probably why I noticed him to begin with. Anyway, I didn't think about it much during my swim, but did notice him going back and forth a few more times. Still, that's not too out of the normal. Now I'm done with my workout, starting down the hall to the mens locker room when I run into this guy face to face. He stops dead in his track, does a curse under his breath and is visibly upset that he ran into me at this point. I believe he messed up his timing, as he wanted to come in behind me, but now he was stuck in front of me. Anyway, he turns around and goes right back into the locker room. Walking infront of me, and looking back every 5 seconds to see what I was doing and where I was going.

The thing was though, as soon as we ran into each other in the hall, it clicked, I knew who this guy was and had a pretty good idea what was about to happen. So I figured I'd test him just to make sure. So we get the locker room and it's set up in a series of UUUs. I was in the first one, but I went to the second one first to see what he did. He went into it, acted like he had a locker, opened it and started shuffling through things in it. I then turn back and go to where my locker is and as I do he follows right away. So it's the same guy, doing the same thing he did 8 months ago. I go to my locker and continue as normal. He then goes to another locker just ont he other side of the U and acts like it's his and takes his towel off. Then this is where it gets weird. He sits on the bench, naked turns around to my directions and lays down sideways, with one leg up. I continue as normal as possible, given I've already gone through this with this guy once before. So he starts to sway his leg that is propped up, I suppose to get good air flow to down below.. I didn't look that way to see what was 'up'. So he does this while I'm changing, I'm a pretty laid back guy and I'm just kind of laughing on the inside at the situation. He then starts small talk with me and I replied as casual, but abrupt as I could. He just stays there laying there watching me. Then I was done changing and headed out. He got up, put his towel back on and went back out towards the sona.

The craziest part about this to me is that he waited for me to be done and then was visually upset that he got his timing wrong when we met in the hallway.

Dammit, the guy at the tri store told me that it was a trisuit...

This stuff is awesome!

Not really a true pool story, but another gentlemen and I were swimming and finished up about the same time.  I used the shower adjacent to the pool for a quick rinse and the other guy scurried in the locker room. 

(how do I say this without bad language or getting in trouble with the forum) here goes...

When I entered the locker room I noticed the same guy using the hand dryer to apparently dry his third eye, using his hands to provide the necessary seperation.

Nobody should ever see that!

I'm not anti-nudity (matter of fact, I was *born* naked!  gasp!), but I AM against creepy lecherous old ladies talking at my boobs and crotch while I'm just trying to bathe.  I guess I just prefer to be naked around people who can deal with nakedness without engaging in a fiesta of ogling behaviors, and who can themselves follow a certain amount of nudity etiquette (don't spread your labia wide open and then sit all over a bench -- use a towel instead!  don't goatse the hair dryer in the locker room!  don't use locker room facilities in a blatantly sexual manner!)
