To think "put some fucking clothes on!"

or at least wrap a towel round yourself FFS.

I go to the gym five days a week, usually in the morning. Every single day without fail there will be people having a shower after their workout. I don't have a problem with this as the showers are in cubicles rather than out in the open.

My problem is is that after they've finished showering you can be sure they will then strut naked out of the shower over to the lockers without bothering to wrap a towel around themselves. They will then stand naked for a bit sorting their clothes and shit out before getting dressed. It's always the same people too.

AIBU to think they should at least wrap a towel round themselves? And get dressed as quickly as possible?

Nobody wants to see them naked!

I did mention it to reception but they just gave me a look like this Hmm.

I actually find it laughable that people want to hide little bits of their bodies

Why do you think it's Ok to find other people's feelings about privacy laughable? It makes you just as bad as those who complain about nudity.

As I said earlier, my need for privacy is my issue. I don't care whether others are naked at any point as I can simply not look and I don't care whether others are wearing one of those beach tent things to change under.

SoupDragon · 14/01/2015 11:44

It's possible to put your pants on without bending over or sitting down. I have to so it like this when my back is bad. :o

SoupDragon · 14/01/2015 11:45

Although, unless someone is twerking heir naked arse in your face, I can't see the problem.

Ememem84 · 14/01/2015 12:00

when i was younger my mum sewed a couple of beach towels together so my and my sis could each have a towel tent for changing on the beach. there was a smaller hole for your head to go through, the towel rested on shoulders, and you could change easily (?).

we were only allowed to use on the beach though. Not in communal pool changing rooms....

Why shouldn't I laugh at such an incongruous activity? I'm not doing it in your face while you are undressing, so your 'privacy' is not being offended.

As I said earlier, my need for privacy is my issue.
Absolutely. I haven't said that you shouldn't hide your body if you choose. Only that I find it funny.
I expect you would find some of my behaviour funny. Indeed, I would be rather disappointed if you didn't. :)

It is funny how so many women find other naked women disgusting.

Do you find men disgusting too?

DO you find SEX disgusting? I mean all those arses hanging out? (and that si not the worst of it).

Or do you close your eyes and hide under the duvet and pretend it isn't really happening Grin

just wondering

As a Scandi arse flaunter, I tone it down for the benefit of my host country (no strutting), but I don't do the shamefaced-towel-shimmy just to humour you all.

BigRedBall · 14/01/2015 12:22

You could wrap a towel around your body and then bend over and put your knickers on. That way your bums covered and your boobs. Honestly. It's not hard keeping your arse covered whilst changing.

BigRedBall · 14/01/2015 12:24

What a silly comment! No, I enjoy sex because it's just my DH and I. Not strangers looking at our bare bums.

Squirrelsmum · 14/01/2015 12:34

You could always take a hand towel in and flick the most offensive sores with it. Or you could get a grip, it is only bare skin.

Squirrelsmum · 14/01/2015 12:35

*arse,

BigRedBall · 14/01/2015 12:38

Bare skin that you poo out of. Lovely.

Chandon · 14/01/2015 12:42

ok, you don'y mean arse, you mean anus?

people have been flashing their anus at you?

that is maybe a bit too much

JessePinkmansHoody · 14/01/2015 12:51

Lots of long term gym members seem to just DO this. I remember the year I belonged to a gym. Within the first week it dawned on me that.. to put it bluntly.. I had never seen so many fannies in my life as I had in the past few days!! Shock Shock

I am not a prude but well.. is it so much to ask for people to be a little discrete??!

BlessedAndGr8fulNoInLaws4Xmas · 14/01/2015 13:38

Agree Jesse...
It's ok other posters saying "don't look" but when they are literally staring you in the face as you're looking up from tying your shoes ...

SoupDragon · 14/01/2015 13:38

Why shouldn't I laugh at such an incongruous activity?

You can, but it marks you so being just as bad as those who think people should cover up in a changing room. It's no more "incongruous" than the activities of wearing an arse skimming skirt or a maxi dress.

TrixAreForKids · 14/01/2015 13:44

i nc after this thread, just come back and it got better.
love a bit of fanny flying about, me. espcially my own. Grin

HazleNutt · 14/01/2015 13:44

If someone's arse is 'literally' staring me in the face, I don't think there's much difference if it's naked or covered with a scrap of fabric. Luckily my gym has enough room, so it's not strictly necessary to have your arse against someone's face while changing.

BlessedAndGr8fulNoInLaws4Xmas · 14/01/2015 13:45

I don't think some of these comments are very skilled ...
There is a great difference between having sex with your partner and being naked in your own home to accepting other womens fannies within my own personal space at a locker.

Some parts ARE private & NOT for sharing with others!!

And no I'm not a prude I couldn't do my job if I was.

JessePinkmansHoody · 14/01/2015 16:06

EXACTLY what happened to me Blessed.. I was putting my trainers on... half stood up.. was prevented from doing so as practically nudged my nose against some older lady's big hairy muff.. I kick you not! I shrank back in horror.. and I challenge anyone not to have done the same!!

SorchaN · 14/01/2015 16:40

I'm in the naked camp. I'm neither proud nor ashamed of my body; I just find it really difficult to keep a towel in place while walking around, sorting my clothes out etc. I'm very clumsy generally, and never mastered the towel wrapping thing. But I definitely don't strut! I just get out of the shower and get dressed a fast as possible (which isn't as fast as I'd like because of the aforementioned clumsiness). I tend to think that if people don't want to look at me they have the option of looking away.
