NASTY!!! I tell you!
March 4, 2006I need to let this out of my system so i can finally get over the trauma. Before I proceed, I need to reiterate that I am not a racist, nor am I pretending to be conservative! I am probably one of the least conservative people there is esp when it comes to other people and how they want to live their life….or so i thought.
I teach at fitness first wynsum every friday morning. aside from the usual of teaching the hour long class, the rest of my friday morning is spent either lifting weights or just dancing to more of my songs, in my lonesome, at the studio. I love my fridays. It’s up there next to wednesday for being my favourite day! i do love fridays….or at least I used to.
In the ladies locker room, there are foreign women (I will not reveal what nationality lest I be reported and banned from the world wide web), that just need to walk around butt-ass naked!!! I would have taken such great pleasure in the sight of that if they were hot (hehehe) but they so weren’t! Seriously though, I wouldn’t look! it’s just not proper! But you can’t miss these ladies. You will see them albeit through your peripheral vision!
That is no big deal! It really isn’t! Until one friday morning! One of these naked women carries around this little basket of toiletries and (at this point, please visualize so you get to feel what I felt) as I was walking towards the saunas and the steam room, where she was, she sets her basket down and SQUATS right beside it. Please remember that she is completely naked. never have the words "spread eagle" created such a picture for me! Despite the forest she was cultivating down there (woman, scissors! have you two met?) I saw a not so pretty sight, spread right before me!
I needed a few days to get over that! Im sorry it just wasnt pretty! i wasnt ready! I need to be warned about stuff like that. But I got over it. figured there is nothing much i can do if their culture is like that… and they dont believe in the saying,"when in rome, do as the romans do!"
Thought that was the most traumatizing thing for me! i thought wrong! I was blow-drying my hair, once again one friday morning, getting ready to head out to the station. the same lady,the same kinky-haired, bush-cultivating lady,fresh off the shower, stands right next to me grabs a hold of the other blowdryer (warning: this is nasty!) and starts air drying her freaking pubes!!! if that wasnt bad enough, she has the nerve, the audacity to blow dry her pubes, and use her other hand to tap and flick it dry?!!!! what the FUCK!!!! All this I see with my peripheral vision and I try not to look too shocked! If I thought that was bad enough, once again I thought wrong! When it comes to being NASTY, never underestimate the power of this woman! She transfers the blowdryer to her pubes-tapping hand, turns to her back, and air dries her freaking ass!!! Oh lord! We need to disinfect that blowdryer. Bloody hell! this is a common gym locker! she does not have any right to act like she owns the place!
So you are probably wondering why I didnt say anything? I did! She couldn’t understand a single word of english! I tried to gesticulate what I was trying to say and she still couldn’t get it! she thought I was trying to gesture that the blowdryer wasn’t working! and I was already extremely irate with her actions in the first place, I couldn’t stand having more interactions with this woman!
Tell me, am I wrong for feeling the way I do? Am I over reacting or is it just really nasty?! They have to put up a sign at the gym saying "Drying pubes, not allowed!" or put up a graphical sign with someone holding a blowdryer directed at her groin, and put a huge ass ‘X’ mark on it!!! If those are too hard, just slap on a towel, will you?!! at the very least!!!

Awww! Poor girl! You're scarred for life now. In your shoes I would have done the same. I'm just surprised you waited so long to say something about it. My suggestion, report it to management and have THEM talk to the ladies. Have them told that they are making the other patrons uncomfortable with their blatant nudity. If you must, mention the hair dryer incident. THAT will shock them into action.
Posted by http://slvrdlphn.multiply.com at March 6, 2006, 10:26 amHi, Gelli! Your blog and this "nasty-i-tell-you" was referred to me by a good friend… wow, that was quite an experience!!! If I'm on your shoes, I wouldn't know what to do! My Goodness! Thanks for sharing this, and I bet I couldn't help but be observant when I'm in ladies locker room and will remember this story of yours all the time
gelli,
whoa! don't dwell on it…
move on…
btw, i agree with the previous commenter with what she said.
Poor hairdryer and the poor innocent person using it next.. Enough to make me puke! But good reading it after lunch on a Monday afternoon!
Too bad there isn't any lysol for the mind! What a bad mental image. I'm glad it's your memory not mine.
Posted by Mai at March 6, 2006, 4:28 pmOh, it also occurs to me … is it possible she was hitting on you? Purposely exposing herself to you in case you were interested?

My virgin eyes.
Miss ya!
Posted by Charcharbinx at March 7, 2006, 9:43 pmSo glad I don't go to a gym or anything where I'd be in any such environment; haven't been in a locker room since high school, thank god. A sign would definitely be a good thing because that's not just rude, it's a health hazard. People like that are why stupid ,obvious rules get made in the first place. For anything you might think is common sense, there's at least one person who will prove it UNcommon.
Yuck. I'm definitely grossed out now.
Posted by Jamie at April 17, 2006, 8:09 pmAs far as the nudity thing goes, I don't think there is anything wrong with it if a woman wants to walk around nude when she's in the locker room.
I have offten wondered whats so offensive about seeing another woman nude, especially where it should be expected like in a women's locker room?
However, I totally agree with you about the fact that she shouldn't be touching her pubic hair or vaginal area if she is also going to be handling a hair dryer that will be handled by other people!
Posted by Nancy at October 1, 2006, 2:27 pmI wouldn’t go to that woman’s country. Waaahhh!!!
Destiny’s Child’s Nasty Girl is playing while I’m visualizing your experience.
Do you still see her around?

Dear Gelli,
I have to say….bwahahahaha! you just made my morning. Thanks for making me laugh this morning.
Poor Gelli…exposed to such an icky site. Yes! they must decontaminate all the blowdryers in the place. Oh lord! could she have previously used the one you used? eyw!
