I’m not normally a germophobe, but this morning at the gym, someone did something that icked me out something awful.
When you swim, you’re supposed to rinse off in the communal shower by the pool before and after. This both helps prevent dirt from getting in the pool (before) and helps get rid of some of the chlorine (after).
Some people like to also take the post-swim rinse as an opportunity to shampoo their hair, and perform other parts of the showering ritual, just in a bathing suit. I find this odd, but not gross.
What I found gross was the woman who insisted on brushing her teeth in the communal, open shower. Spitting onto the floor that everyone walks on, as if the mere fact that she was showering while doing it makes it okay.
I can see doing that at home, where you are the only person who has to stand in that, and the one who has to clean it up. But in a shower by a pool? Where people you don’t even know go? Where everyone can see exactly what you’re doing?
Frankly, I don’t think there are shower shoes in existence thick enough to make that okay.
that’s gross. could she not make it to a sink?
This is what I’m saying. The locker room was like 15 feet away, and there are at least 10 sinks in there.
Nope, she just spit it right on the floor, not even aiming for the drain. What the fuck?
not aiming for the drain makes this even more appalling and awful. ew.
