I complain about having a boring life, but actually when I think about it, odd things happen to me quite regularly. The other day I was at the gym, and having finished my workout, I headed to the change room. I was approached by a dripping wet woman in a towel who asked me to do her a favor. "Sure," I said, expecting that she needed me to go and get her locker key off someone. She explained that there were two women in the shower who were doing things to each other that should definitely not be done in a public place with kids walking in and out. The women's shower room at my gym has a communal shower area with 4 shower heads coming out of the wall, and two stalls with curtains. I have no idea whether they were doing what they were doing behind a curtain or not, because I didn't go and look. (Now if it had been two GUYS... Zoom!)
Anyway, I went out and told the staff, who were extremely interested, as you might imagine, but I got the impression that nobody wanted the job of going in there and telling those women to stop. I returned to the change room and spent the next ten minutes getting changed. The staff member who drew the short straw would have had to walk right past me to get to the showers. Nobody did. I guess they thought that if they just waited a while, the situation would resolve itself eventually. Since the two women got away with it, they might try doing that again in the future, whereupon some Mom is going to yell at them and ruin their mood.
Maybe it's the new machines with the TVs on them, but my gym has definitely gotten more interesting lately!
I'll agree with drippy wet lady here - esp. if your gym has a pool. That's when you'll see the kidlings in the women's dressing room - if they're going to be/have used the pool. That would be a Bad Thing for a young child to see.
And to think I used to find my gym rather a dull place. I should have had more faith in the human capacity for inappropriate behavior!
Hmmm, I don't know about communal showers in the gym, or a gym that allows children, but I would not have bothered either if I was a staff member. Thank goodness my gym is at work (yay!) and we have five stalls, all with curtains. I really wouldn't want my co-workers to see me unclothed, and vice versa.
And two men soaping each other up and washing each other's naughty bits very thoroughly? Here comes my recurring fantasy of being invisible!
