Member 45 |  Subject: most oblivious girl ever (locker room rant)I've read peoples' stories about weird locker room behavior on here before, but I never had a story to contribute until today! I came in from the pool and a girl was sitting right in front of my locker, earbuds in, head down, and texting. There's about, maybe, a foot or foot and half of space between her knees and my locker. So I walked up to my locker and figured she'd slide further down the bench when she saw me. Nope. Didn't budge. I opened my locker and pulled out my towel and started drying off (was planning to run, then shower after that). Still, she's not getting the hint...just sitting there smack in front of my locker, not moving except for her fingers. Hmm. This was getting awkward. Obviously changing in view of total strangers is the norm in the locker room, but I draw the line when another person's face, and camera phone, are literally 6 inches from my butt. I briefly considered (not seriously) "accidentally" squeezing out my hair all over her, ha. So instead I said, very politely, "hey, would you mind texting somewhere else please? I need to change and I'd like to have a little more room. Thanks.". She looked up at me with a completely blank expression, mumbled "sorry" and sauntered off. And that was that. So weird though. By the way, the ENTIRE rest of the locker room was empty. |

It was nice of the young lady to apologize. I guess I could have moved, but it seemed kind of silly to do so when I was the one with my towel, running clothes, shoes, etc. right there in the locker and she was just sitting there texting. She never messed with any locker or anything when I was there; only sat there, then walked away when I asked. I agree it was nice that she apologized. |

| Member 45 | Subject: RE: most oblivious girl ever (locker room rant) :P Maybe she and I are both idiots, haha. I did mention it to my husband, and he said maybe she just has really, really different standards of what constitutes enough personal space. Or more precisely, when to move to maintain personal space. Though, I think the fact that I was dripping wet from the pool would be a consideration in that. *shrug* |

| 928 | Subject: RE: most oblivious girl ever (locker room rant) I dunno- she was already sitting there when you got in. Presumably she wouldn't have sat there if you were already in the locker room. I go to a gym with a pretty crowded locker room, and often someone is sitting in front of my locker when I get back to it. I just take my stuff out and move down the bench. |

| 144 | Subject: RE: most oblivious girl ever (locker room rant) This made me laugh because I had a very similar event happen yesterday in a locker room. A guy was right in front of my locker and didn't say a word while stood there dripping. After a minute I mentioned my locker was right in front of him. It wasn't until he picked up his cane and started maneuvering through the lockers that I realized he was blind. Doh..Guess I was the oblivious one .... |

| 72 | Subject: RE: most oblivious girl ever (locker room rant) Texting is just sooooooooooooo IMPORTANT, ya' know. Don't go 5 minutes without it! ...........R U there? I luv txt WTF I don't text - it seems so lame and boring. Plus I'm too fat-fingered to operate those dinky keys. What's the deal with this "sexting" -> "I luv yur boobz" ...............that's supposed some sorta' turn-on? That's even more lame than generic texting. |

That's uncomfortable...... |

There's at least 5 and maybe 10 of them at my gym.......they hang out, watch the ballgames, bullchit with everybody, and don't bother anyone. I don't know why you have to be naked to do that, but whatever. When I was a kid my dad would take us to the YMCA.....back then it had a men's pool and a women's pool. In the men's pool everyone was naked. My brother and I would always be broke up laughing. |
