wow...someone should tell them to start acting like men...that is extreme and would be considered very weird at my gym
I was about half finished with my workout today when I got the call of nature. I went to the locker room and entered the toilet to find that all three stalls were occupied by 3 separate guys who were either changing into gym clothes or getting dressed. One of the stalls is reserved for handicapped use. Any other time I would have just rolled my eyes and proceeded to use the urinal, but in this instance I needed to sit down. After about 1 minute I spoke up in a normal voice that I needed to use the toilet and that the stalls were not meant to be used as a dressing room, and I wanted someone out, now. One of the guys, whom I assume is a student, exited the stall and mumbled an apology. I was pissed because I was very uncomfortable at this time. I entered the stall and closed the door and snapped the lock loudly enough, without slamming it, to let the other 2 know that I was pissed off at them also. I took a dump, went back to the gym and completed my workout, showered and dressed and then I stopped by the managers office to advise him about the inappropriate use of the stalls. He said he will post a sign in the bathroom that the stalls are not to be used for dressing or undressing. Hell, the lockerroom has benches to sit on when any of us are dressing. There is almost no room to manuever in the stall to dress. What a trio of idiots!
Here's another weird contradiction among the youth of today. Showing yourself naked around your own gender in the locker room, sauna, steamroom and shower is wrong, but appearing naked on-line or in a porno for the whole world to see is completely acceptable. Can anyone explain that to me? It was the other way around when I was younger.
I have commented about this bizarre behaviour before in other threads. I cannot understand why anybody would want to change in a toilet stall. Aside from the fact that the toilet area literally smells like shit and urine, how can one comfortable change in such a cramped area? Do they put their clothes on the toilet itself? Most times I don't even want to take a dump in a public toilet because the toilet seat is covered in piss, there's shit in the bowl because most are too lazy to flush and there is pubic hair and dried piss on the floor. GROSS!
I do applaud your univesity though for doing away with the stalls. That's the way it used to be at my university's athletic centre. Now they have installed stalls along the walls with 3 Badley towers in the centre. I have complained about it to management, but nothing has changed. I can't believe that my university's athletic centre has given into the pansies weak assed demands for shower stalls. If a guy is that uncomfortable with nudity around their peers in the men's locker room, they should keep the hell out. As another poster said, "someone should tell them to start acting like men". I couldn't agree more.
What in the hell is going on with men?
I made it to the gym today and worked out for two hours. It felt great to have the time to work out for that long, to complete failure on everything.
Off to the locker room to shower and take a sauna. My new gym has single stall showers with curtains (wtf? its a locker room) So i never take the time to close the curtain. I mean, I shave naked.
Anyway - while in the sauna and to shower and back again, no need for a towel or shower curtain, yet every guy today (about a dozen of them) came into the sauna in shorts, underwear, track pants even - when they showered, the shower curtain was slosed and practically super glued shut.
What in the hell is this about? It was just so annyoing to me. I made a point to be the only naked guy on his towel in the sauna, to shower with the curtain open, to stand at the sinks and shave, to weigh myself naked just to see what the other idiots did.
Of course they all looked and then ran away covering themselves up. Good grief. Knock it off already.
They should take a more relaxed approach to showering like these two do -
There's a hot springs I love to go to near Death Valley National Park. Several years ago now they dropped in pit toilets to replace the volunteer built outhouses. So now people use the pit toilets as changing rooms. Yes, they do smell like shit.I have commented about this bizarre behaviour before in other threads.
