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 love Aveeno! Still need two coats of it or my skin is dry and itchy. It's only my body, too, my face is oily! Argh. My hair is awful, too.

doesnt bother me. If they have communal changing rooms then there will nearly always be nakedness in them. Its natural amd normal

That's it Pacific - look at meeeee, look at how comfortable I am in my gorgeous nakedness, are you noticing me as I walk here, and there, and here, and there and there, and here again?

Oh FFS - put it away woman and just get dressed

You sound lush expat

I am naked right now.

"To think "put some fucking clothes on!"

Actually OP I usually take my clothes off for fucking.

What do you wear? Nurse's uniform? Crutchless tights?

YABU.

At least I smell nice. The other fun part of all this are night sweats and hot flashes, usually at the time when you would normally have a period, so it's two showers a day. Joy. I will be glad when this is over! Well, at least, no more bother with periods.

Don't forget the bristly chin too expat - or is that just me?

I've got ALL that to look forward too… bring it on

Just you. Thankfully, my hair is thinning out big time. I do have two grey eyebrow hairs, though, but have had one of them a long time.

Bored with periods too - mid forties and they've suddenly become regular as clockwork . Not keen on the idea of night sweats and oily skin though.

Maybe I'll be that 50-something epilating my foof in the sauna and not caring a jot

My Mum has developed a brilliant 'fuck it all' attitude to her menopause. On Christmas Day she was having awful hot flashes and so flung open the French doors, turned off the heating and stripped off most of her clothes. She told the 12 assembled (shivering) family members that they could 'put on another bloody layer' and then got back to her semi-naked prosecco drinking.

I fully recommend this attitude.

Showy, your mum sounds fab!

I am currently having flushes and sweats (due to illness, not hormones) and have to say, that is not something I am looking forward to on a more regular basis

There was a woman at my pool who used the hair dryer for her bush. In full view.

Je suis naked.

Put it away Blu - no-one likes a show-off. And put down that bloody hairdryer

semi naked prosecco drinking.

(Just got back from Tesco's and been thinking about this thread)

Far from being jealous at the young, slim ladies in the communal changing room, I have to say I rather like seeing them. It's nice to look at someone in good shape. But the older ones have interesting bodies too. None of it would ever disturb me, not even a Preener. I'd be more likely to wonder how I'm going to get my bra done up and my socks on. (My dh does that for me as my mobility has deteriorated somewhat now.

I remember going to the gym in Italy where standard changing room etiquette was being butt naked with a mobile phone clamped to the ear, loud conversations with dh (or/then om) whilst bending right over to slather on body lotion.
Bloody brilliant multi tasking!

Is now the time to tell you all the story about how I took DH (who was then my boyfriend) to a very posh spa in Germany? And how it only occurred to me to mention to him that he would be expected to be in the buff as we were paying our entrance fee?

Dear reader, he took it in his stride (I knew he was a keeper then).
We went to our respective changing rooms (yes, men and women had separate changing rooms and showers for a proper wash ) and met, naked but with laaaaaarge fluffy towels, in the actual spa.
The first person we encountered was an older man with a HUGE scar across his abdomen and a hindquarter amputation (whole R hip/leg removed, effectively he only had one buttock) on crutches.
And still, DH did not run away screaming.

We had a lovely time in the spa. And saw some attractive bodies, some middling ones and had a hugely fascinating conversation with that first man about his injury (WW2, still some shrapnel inside him - got some honour or another from the city and had lifelong spa-visiting rights ).

We also went to a posh spa in Germany...my German is non existent limited, but I saw a sign for a steam room and suggested to the teens we went in. The steam was even perfumed - how exciting! So, 3 Brits (Scottish ones at that, so we're even more uptight) walked into the steam room with swimming costumes and towels, only to be met by a very large, elderly Frau who explained, by way of opening her towel completely to reveal her naked glory, that we had to strip off to enter the steam room.

DS1 and DD faces were a mixture of and , I was trying very hard to concentrate on my German while remaining nonchalant, and we decided that a room full of naked, sweating Germans was too much for our delicate sensibilities

I used to be quite sporty in my youth and have vast experience of communal changing rooms.

On the continent you would be considered beyond weird if you wrapped a towel around yourself instead of walking round naked.

In the UK I found that it was always the young girls with fabulous figures that would envelop themselves in towels like it was armour rather than us older ladies. We seemed to be more accepting of our bodies and the youngsters would scoot in and out of the showers as fast as possible trying not to show an inch of flesh.

YABU OP, nakedness in changing rooms is perfectly normal!

Well it's just so unnecserry, isn't it? Strutting around naked like that....they have towels why can't they wrap one around themselves on their way back to the lockers?

I don't want to see a bunch of hairy muffs after my workout thanks!

It's not just older women either. There is one woman who walks around naked on a regular basis who can't be any older than 20, another one who is around early to mid 20's.

It's a changing room, people get naked in changing rooms.
