Locker room rant! (Page 3)

This sums up my position on Axe:

"... the name needs to dominate; I dominate!"

I also wonder why people don't wear flip-flops or shower shoes in the showers.  I would think the constant sniffing, hawking, spitting, etc. would give away the many reasons why you wouldn't want your feet to have contact with that tile.

 I think I'd rather have someone pee a little in the pool, even if I know it, than have to deal (again) with this problem.  Sometimes my swims at the Y overlap with the old betties water aerobics.  Nasty oil slicks on the water.  Funny thing, though, there are still 75 y.o. dudes strutting around in their speedos/jammers thinking they're all that.

gopennstate - 2009-04-10 11:31 PM Wait a minute.  Am I reading this right?  Are you saying some old dude is stretching, in the locker room, naked?  No way.

Yes. They also dry the dangly bits with the head-high mounted hand dryers and they strike up conversations while they do all of these things. It makes for an interesting locker room experience.

i just can't believe it.  naked stretching in a public locker room.  drying stuff that i would think a towel would do the trick & talking all through it!  i could not be more thrilled that i am a chick.  this conversation has been eye-opening & entertaining to say the least!  

You should drop by the gym I used to go to. All the old overweight asian grammas thought they needed to wear their giant nylon granny panties while they were in the hot tub. Never could figure that out. Wet nylon panties do not hide anything no matter if they are a size 48. 

Several other ladies felt that it was important to wrap a towel around their waist over the top of their swimsuits in order to sit in the hot tub. This seemed very odd to me as they had just walked in from the coed swimming pool where they had been swimming in the swimsuit alone. The towel was dry so they couldn't have been swimming with it. and they didn't wrap it around them during the walk from pool to locker room hot tub, but it was always carefully wrapped about the waist before getting into the hot tub.

I also didn't understand the lady that invariably used at least 10 (yes, ten) towels to dry and cover her 5 year old. Two went on the floor. One towel around the bottom half of the kid while the top half of the kid was being dried with another, then were tossed as they were "dirty" and another set of clean ones used to wrap the top half of the kid while drying the bottom half. Yet another wrapped around the kid's hair. At least one would always drop on the floor (which was completely covered by the first two towels) but would then be 'dirty' so another one had to be used. Then while mom dried off (only 5 towels, but she couldn't use the ones that the kid had stepped on), the kid was wrapped in three towels to wait - hair, top half, bottom half.  Thank gawd she only had the one kid. No one else would have ever had a towel.
