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.

Stop looking at their hairy muffs then OP Hmm

Unless they stand right in front of you flaunting their fanjos it should be fairly easy to avoid it.

Perhaps you could ask Reception to introduce a time limit for nakedness - let's say 5 minutes from shower to locker. Anyone 'strutting around' naked after that time gets a towel forcibly wrapped round them by a member of staff.

maybe gym is not for you then?

BIWI · 11/01/2015 13:24

I think, OP, you should stop going to the gym if it upsets you so much.

Pipbin · 11/01/2015 13:26

All these women and their ostentatious fanjo flaunting.

Honestly op, what did you want the reception people to do about it?
You sound like someone who says things like 'I read all of the 50 Shades books and they were filth from beginning to end. They ought to be banned.'
If you don't like seeing naked people then don't go to a place with naked people in it.

UptheChimney · 11/01/2015 13:26

It's your problem, OP not theirs. And you sound both rude & prurient.

Why do you notice so much?

FightOrFlight · 11/01/2015 13:27

Perhaps you could volunteer to be Muff Monitor for the gym. They could hand out those rubber wrist bands like they do in swimming pools. After 5 minutes a loud siren (or 'tutting' sound) can go off and you can rush round covering up the Strutters.

PacificDogwood · 11/01/2015 13:30

they have towels why can't they wrap one around themselves on their way back to the lockers?

They can, but they just don't want to Grin

I think you should take up running outside, OP - people are generally dressed in the outdoors.

ohbollocks2u · 11/01/2015 13:32

I don't really mind the nakedness , it's when they put one foot on the bench to dry their undercarriage and you locker is at eye level Hmm

FightOrFlight · 11/01/2015 13:35

Pacific

Perhaps the OP should avoid Roskilde though ...

Maybe she should, Fight, maybe she should…. Grin

I like that you can order photos of the event GrinGrin

Pipbin · 11/01/2015 13:47

Don't go to any festivals op

WandaDoff · 11/01/2015 13:49

Pacific if you want to go to any saunas or bathhouses in Glasgow, I would suggest googling first.

ForalltheSaints · 11/01/2015 13:54

Only in Britain! I cannot imagine this kind of debate in Germany or France for example.

Sparklingbrook · 11/01/2015 13:58

I thought everyone was hair free these days, they polish it with Pledge and a duster.

ZammoMcGuire · 11/01/2015 14:04

i do agree with the OP to an extent. there is walking around in the process of being dressed and deliberately drying your hair bra less for HOURS as you have an amazing body

VictorineMeurent · 11/01/2015 14:06

And don't even think about using an Icelandic swimming pool, where naked bodywashing beforehand ( with an illustration to guide you) is mandatory.

WorraLiberty · 11/01/2015 14:08

No-one dries their hair for 'HOURS'

They'd have none left by the end of it Shock

Or one could reintroduce Victorian baths - full coverage bathing costumes at all times

SirChenjin · 11/01/2015 14:18

I like that idea - full bathing costumes and mop caps are so much kinder on your fellow gym users eyes

To think "put some fucking clothes on!"
PuffinsAreFictitious · 11/01/2015 14:18

I have a horrible body, but the great thing about being in a German spa, or even swimming baths is that everyone is naked, so no one gives a shit. It's a feeling of freedom I've not been able to recreate since being back in the UK.

OP, it's just skin. Don't like it? Don't look.

expatinscotland · 11/01/2015 14:19

All this has made me yearn to visit a European bath house.

PacificDogwood · 11/01/2015 14:20

SirChenjin, I love the pose! Grin

WorraLiberty · 11/01/2015 14:21

I think if more people spent more time naked around 'normal' people, we'd all feel a lot better about our bodies.

Marmitelover55 · 11/01/2015 14:21

I think this is why I do run outside, have always hated changing rooms.
