OT: Gym Manners

Ok, I am 100% grossed out.

After my workouts, I always spend a little time in the steam room. It always helps keep me from getting sore and it's just nice to sit and relax for a few.

So today I had just done my workout and I'm feeling pretty good. Time to go get nice and steamy. I walk in and there's a middle aged lady in there with just her bra and underwear on. No big deal. I just kind of scoot passed her and have a seat. But then I start hearing this God awful scratching noise. I look up and it's her. Rubbing her arms with something and she's making a comment about how she's trying to get all of the dead skin cells off of her.

Ok, I'm down with elpholiation, but in public? Yea, not so much. And yes I realize that dead skin cells are everywhere but do ya gotta make it so obvious? That's one of those things in life that you just like to forget about - kinda like republicans. I just kind of ignore it and continue my steam chill. But as time goes on I realize that this woman is getting a little over zealous....ok, she's just flat out drillin for oil. I keep waiting to see blood. 

Eventually she leaves. Thank God. It's over. I scoot a little closer to where I normally sit and finally start to decompress. Just when I reach that moment of relaxation and bliss, she comes back. "oh God"  I think. "please not this again."

At first I thought that maybe my prayers were answered and I wouldn't have to go through this again. Oh no. How wrong am I. I see that she has some sort of cloth in her hand but I can't really see what it is. Steam baths don't mix well with glasses. Anyway, she starts wringing it out - including right over the heater. Much to my dismay, the mysterious cloth she was holding was her sandpaper and she starts drilling again.

Omg...you did NOT just wring out your dead skin all up in my steam. I'm going to whorf. Ok, it's time for me to leave....oh no, can't do that cuz she's stretched herself right in front of the door!!! So now I'm getting over steamy-ed, I well aware of some strangers dead skin floating in my air, and I'm listening to the relentless scratch scratch scratch that this woman is performing. She finally moves and I sprint out the door. Ever try to sprint out of a steam bath? Yea, it's not graceful. 

I got home and took the longest shower I think I've ever taken.  

BLUCK!!!!

I truly believe that the world has lost the sense that they were born with!!!!  My whole thing....if she's this way in public I NEVER want to see her home......it's the same thing I say about the people that do not know manners in the restroom here at work....NASTY PEEPS!!!!!!!!!!

I would actually talk to the management about it.  It's nasty, sure... but I would think there would also be some sanitation issues around this sort of thing.

Ok, my skin is crawling and I feel like I need a nice hot shower. BP be damned.

This really makes me sick. This lady does not have any manners what so ever. I would complain to management about this lady. They need to sanitize that steam room. If you see her again I would report her. I think people should take a shower before going in the steam room and after. I bet after she was drilling for oil there might have been a oil slick or two.

eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww!
