Rangerland Forum _ Anything Goes _ Swimming Pool Locker Room Etiquette
Posted by: jrosario Apr 23 2008, 04:25 AM
So I recently joined a pool. The whole idea of a community pool is a bit gross but it's brand brand new and large and not too crowded, and I love to swim. Anyway, is it so hard to wrap a towel around yourself when you're changing? Beyond that, is it absolutely necessary to walk around the whole locker room for 20 minutes with your garbage exposed? I was about to say something to this one dude who was like walking back and forth when I was trying to put my shoes on. Am I wrong? I'm done with this crap. I'm changing in the ladies' locker room from now on.

He's got his worm out to catch some "fish," I'd assume. I can't imagine any other reason why someone would be all like, "Hey fellas! Take a look at my weiner!"

You never had a gym membership at the BQE gym. I had a two year contract which I bailed on for one reason alone - EVERY old man in the locker room walked around naked. Fat, naked, old dudes. The first time I saw lemonparty.org I curled up in the fetal position and had flashbacks from that one week I spent at that gym.

Whenever I go to a public hockey session, there's ALWAYS an old guy there walking around naked. Fucking nasty. The freaky part is one time the guy started talking to these kids (middle school or early high school) WHILE he was naked. I was thinking to myself, "this is not good, this is not good, get me out of here"

This is at EVERY gym, hockey rink, pool, whatever. It's like a rite of passage for an old guy to have a converation with another old guy through you and your two buddies in a locker room with ol' cock n' balls swinging completley non-chalantly. Fuckin nasty. I understand the need to shower. Most of the time I need after open hockey cuz I'll have to go back to work, but thats no reason for my to sit there with my dong in a guys face while he unlaces his skates. Sheesh.

One time I went to this pretty nice country club with my friend when I was about 9 years old. His dad played racquetball and we went for a swim and stuff like that. When it was time to go, we went to the locker room, and I saw horrors that no tyke should see: old man balls. Old men everywhere, naked, just chatting it up like their wrinkly junk wasn't there. It was horrific.
Speaking of unwanted dong sightings, yesterday at rugby we were stretching and my coach was wearing boxers instead of compression shorts under his rugby shorts, and while he was doing leg stretches, I totally caught a glimpse of his member hanging out of his shorts. That ruined practice.

Rest assured it's not the young and attractive walking about in the women's locker room, either.
I have seen what my breasts will look like in thirty years, and I fear.

True - the locker room at my gym is like the video for Unforgiven.

This is not uncommon at my gym. Guys, mostly older way out of shape dudes, love to stand around naked talking, shaving, etc.. I use the locker closest to the door (#68 for obvious reasons) and I don't shower after working and it takes me 2 minutes to change into my gym clothes, so my lockerroom time is minimal. But I know what you're talking about and think the same thing. Just get changed.

There was this old guy at my previous gym who, after his post workout shower, would always brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc at the sink naked and (wait for it) wearing his SOCKS AND SNEAKERS!!
Why put on the socks and sneakers? You're goning to have to take them off again to put on your pants, right? Are you that worried about athletes foot?
I really cannot explain how fucking disturbing it is to see a 60-70 year old man naked except for socks and sneakers. It adds a whole new level of creepiness.

Try being nearly run down by a (roughly) mid-30s naked except for socks and sneakers roidhead jacked up on PCP in the middle of Penn Station-Newark. Happened to me 10 years ago this coming October.

I devised a brilliant solution!!!
Change in the stall! I know what you're thinking, GROSS! But remember this pool is brand new, the stalls all look like they're never used, toilet paper rolls full, everything shiny, floor dry. No sitting required. Just me, by myself, where no one can get to me, or be balls deep in my ear while I put on my socks and sneakers. Sweet! Today was dress rehearsal. If I get really good at it, I can map out the route from the stall to my locker from memory and make the trip both ways with my eyes closed. I'm one mad clever mothergrabber.
