To think "put some fucking clothes on!"

[PutSomeFuckingClothesOn]

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 .

I think you should stop looking.

You dirty article.

For me though it's not about what bodies look like. I have personal space issues with people when they are fully clothed, let alone when they are naked.

I would rather not be where there are naked strangers, but hopefully I can avoid them fairly easily.

I find avoiding naked strangers no challenge at all, Sparkling

YY me too PD. I go for 5 mile walks fully clothed instead of the gym. It's for the best.

'It's for the best'

I try to move as little as possible to avoid any sweatiness which would require showering.

maus knows of what I speak wrt to Continental habits.
It's funny how when nakedness is more normal, it is quite normal and nobody bats an eyelid.

I thought the whole idea of the gym was to get soo sweaty it was pooling on the floor PD, and you had to have a little towel to mop it up.

Well yes.
Which is why I avoid gyms.
Or hasty movements of any kind

And when they do get dressed they are still stark naked under their clothes

I think YABU. Presumably this is a single sex changing room? Is it communal or cubicle changing?

IME only council run gyms / pools had the expectation that people would not 'expose themselves' even in single sex areas. In most private gyms there are a handful of cubicles for the very shy.

Epilating / shaving not okay (because it's skanky to leave your hair in a public changing room, not because it's embarrassing). Just being naked, perfectly fine.

I wish we were less hung up on this in this country tbh. I've stayed in several hotels abroad where there is a 'no swimwear in the (mixed sex) spa' rule and once past the British 'this is a bit odd' feeling, it's been absolutely fine.

It's a changing room . Christ where can people get nude then !!

Don't go to Germany OP

Sparklingbrook that's your problem, not that of the people around you.

Sounds like a MN Naturist Break may be in order.....

I went to Finland to visit my friends family....they were howling because I wore a bikini in the Sauna.

You sound a bit uptight, OP. Is that why you felt you had to name change when posting your opinion on nudity?

YABVVVU

It's a changing room, FFS.

I am naked in the changing room when I've had my swim & whilst I put moisturiser on my body (it sinks in really well post swim).

If the sight of my ancient bod offends anyone they can F off to the far side etc.

I think, if you are not on a wind up, that you have some serious body issues yourself.

I assume it's all female and there are no naked men in there.
In the early sixties in Glasgow there was a super ladies' bath house. You got a lovely fluffy towel, and a 'modesty apron' if you wished (no-one bothered with that!) The bath rooms were all communal. There was a steam room, a high-powered shower area with jets of hot water, a dry hot air room, then wooden beds in rows where you relaxed in warm temperatures. All this was partaken of with no clothes on at all. We women (usually about 20 at any time) would scrub eachothers' backs and splash eachother with water. We were of all ages and shapes, old crones, young lassies, all sorts. Nobody was embarrassed in the least. It had been there since Victorian times. I loved going there - very congenial and chummy!

I haven't got a problem. Up, there are never naked strangers around me. I make sure of it.

It is considered unhygienic to wear any kind of swimwear in the sauna in most northern European/Skandinavian countries.
Proper shower (you know, with soap ) beforehand, and then starkers.

'Modesty apron'

Hatespiders, where was that??
I want to go...

It was there family one in the garden Pacific....so I didn't get banned

WTF is a modesty apron?!

I have no issues with nudity.

OP what is it that specifically offends you?

I'm perfectly happy showering and changing naked in a single sex environment.

So you have different bits to average human women??
