to expect a woman not to sit and do her hair and make up stark naked in the changing rooms

I don't mind her strutting naked around the changing rooms at the gym

I can even live with her standing naked in front of the mirror and drying her muff with the hair dryer

What I do object to though is her sitting on the stools naked and doing her hair and make-up.

I think it's unhygienic and I don't want to sit there afterwards.

Oh please complain, we could help you write a letter

Sitting on a stool naked is revolting.

Why would you want to put makeup on naked anyway? Surely you'd just end up with it on your clothes (assuming she puts some on before leaving the changing room)

I have recalled this before on MN. My ex b/f used to encourage his new g/f to waer very short skirts.. think barely covering fanjo area and no knickers. You got a very sickening good view whenever she so much as leant forward. Obviously every time she sat down her vulva was making contact with the velour. We were in a very gay club and it wasnt unusual to see men wretching at the sight and noone would sit where she had been. It wasnt helped that her b/f would often have a quick fiddle. She was a lovely woman but the laughing stock of the club

Agree, write a letter. After all, tis not just her fanny juices you need worry about

DP tells me loads of men at his gym use the dryers for their toes and their pubes .....

motherbeyond · 23/09/2009 14:07

i can never understand why some women want to parade around starkers..and am always at the vast amount of hair they have on display. they've got more bush than the botanic gardens!

Rindercella · 23/09/2009 14:10

I knew someone once who was an 'exotic dancer'. One of her colleagues asked to borrow her mascara. Friend duly obliged, only to be absolutely horrified when she saw where the woman used it!!

Not sure why, but this thread reminded me of that story

GirlsAreLOud · 23/09/2009 14:15

I don't mind the changing room nudity thing when it's at a private gym and you don't really know anyone.

I used to use the gym at work though, and the lady who used to be in charge of some HRy type thing used to be in their lunchtime walking around with her fanny about.

Then I'd have to go upstairs and see her. I remember my friend asking who should she go and see about something and I said "oh, you know, X, who';s always in the gym" and my friend sort of, without thinking made this little triangle shape over her muff and sort of went "that one?" I think we'd all seen it be the time I finished working there.

YUK YUK YUK
This is so weird. Even if we assume that this woman is completely inconsiderate and likes sharing her fanny juices, doesn't she even think what she might be exposing her bare genitals to?

Seriously, which one of you ladies wouldn't be worried about her lady parts on a public stool, where people might be sitting with dirty work clothes on, or even use them to tie their shoes on (unacceptable to me, but people do).

Oh, and YUK!

BagAndShoeLady · 23/09/2009 14:20

thank you thank you - am sitting here feeling poorly and sorry for myself waiting for LO to wake up from her nap and you have all made me laugh and cheered me up no end simply with all the different words for fanny .... fanjo, muff minge and fanny batter sorry for being juvenile but hilarious- especially someone borrowing mascara to lengthen and volumise their lady garden Op have a word at the desk definately hygiene issue eeewwwwwwww

TitsalinaBumsquash · 23/09/2009 14:20

That is why i am 100% thankfull for out liesure center introducing unisex changing rooms, we no longer have to suffer miss 'ive just had my tits done - check them out' prancing in the buff around the room.

SecretNinjaChipmunk · 23/09/2009 14:29

eewwww!! i'm glad i don't belong to a gym. or go swimming particularly often. i feel icky just reading this. as for blow drying the muff - wtf???????

Gymandbareit · 23/09/2009 14:35

It's making me cringe! Did she not notice you giving her a horrified look? Or were you pretending not to notice?

Gymandbareit · 23/09/2009 14:35

(pleased with namechange - clever for me!!)

Dophus · 23/09/2009 15:55

She does it all the time - people just tend to look the other way.

lisad123wantsherquoteinDM · 23/09/2009 19:34

andiem · 23/09/2009 19:36

there are loads of them at our gym
sitting on stools naked
blow drying muffs
bending over so far I could be their gynaecologist
and the ones i hate most the
look at my new tits wot my husband paid for in a teeny tiny bikini when we are all trying to sing old macdonald in the pool with the babies and their silicones almost knock us all out
my mate and I get told off for sniggering by the swimming instructor

LilianGish · 23/09/2009 19:41

Is she German? Remember my years at a health club in Berlin. No clothes rule in the spa (which was mixed btw), but woe betide you if you went in there without flip-flops!!

bergentulip · 23/09/2009 19:46

COmplain? You can't complain. God, wish I was that confident in my own skin!! I think I rather admire her in some ways.....

I would not sit there though. Gross! - towel to sit on would solve the problem I think.

deaddei · 23/09/2009 20:15

A few gym threads on tonight!!!
I reported "speedo man" at our gym- a short,squat middle aged man who wore tight fitting and inappropriate speedos to the pool- fair dos, but then got under the shower where you go before entering the pool (in full view of everyone) and washed his bits putting his hands inside his trunks.
Repulsive.
Anyway, haven't seen him for a while.

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 23/09/2009 20:22

Noone on any gym thread has yet to better my tale of the naked man on the poolside who then sat next to me in the jacuzzi and had a wank.

deaddei · 23/09/2009 20:25

Was he wanking over you- I mean because of you not over in the physical sense...
that is gross.
