Yesterday I was in the locker room at the gym, changing into my work-out clothes, when a woman came up behind me and started pulling her belongings out of the locker directly above mine. Hovering over my locker door and rummaging in my gym bag for my running shoes, I realized I was in the woman's way so I hastily glanced over my shoulder in her direction and apologized. She responded with, "Don't worry about it. These are cramped quarters." As I pulled my running shoes out of my bag, I assured her, "I'll be out of your hair in a second." I then shut my locker door and turned around, and there it was: a triangle of short, brown curlies staring me right in the face. Not cool.
As I left the locker room, I mulled over my poor choice of words and chided myself. Lesson learned? Step 1: Open mouth. Step 2: Insert foot. Step 3: Find new gym.

Girlfriend, I know what you mean. I've played sports before, swam in indoor pools---been to all the women's lockers to change and shower before I seize the day! But there is always that ONE woman who feels she can let it all hang. I mean okay, I know the women's locker room is a great place to feel comfortable---you've just had an awesome workout, and you love your body (as you should!) but that is not an excuse to let your love-box exposed for all to see, or to blow dry your hair as you let your towel drop so others can feel comfortable in your cellulite. Or "opps, I forgot my shampoo on the bench, let me now hop out of the shower without my towel and flash(or splash) everyone in my way--did I mention things are jiggling?!
Please, we love healthy women, but honey, some of us ain't got money for a brazilian so cha-cha your chiapet away...

At least it's not as bad as walking into a locker room and having a dude standing on the locker room bunch, flexing in the mirror, with his wang out.
I mean bench... curse these non editable comments.
