Actually, just thought. I had something similar happen to me at work the other week.

There is a changing room/toilets on site near the workshops. Joggers and cyclist use it but it is probably mainly used as toilets with the two areas separated by a wall with sinks either side. I got out of the loo to find a bloke standing starkers and shaving his face on the toilet side of the room. It's not what you want to see mid afternoon at work!

Being half Finnish I would always prefer to go in sauna without clothes, though that story makes me think twice!

Unfortunately, with our scanners being down yesterday, I have no way of tracing the above

What are these scanners in the changing room?

I finished my workout the other evening and wearily made my way to the changing room to be greeted by the sight of a hairy, Danny DeVito alike stood naked in front of the mirror, blow drying his testicles with one foot hoiked up on a bench.

I experienced a level of nausea and disgust I haven't known since the last time I accidentally tuned in to The Parliament Channel.

It's topics like this that get emailed about to pass the working week! Had several people at my gyms told to leave for shaviing including my brother in law. Granted that was only his face in a steam room but still.

I will collect them for you next time if you really want? (at considerable cost) Unfortunately they went down the sink this time, so am unable to recover them for you.

thats a point, shaving = risk of blood = risk of cat AIDs being passed around. most gyms dont allow it, even if it is just the face?

I shave the old chap and sack on a regular basis, wife loves it. Certainly would be doing it down the gym, a bit wrong if you ask me.

Nuffield - not Cannons by any chance. Some funny sights in those changing rooms especially Thursday nights in the upstairs changing rooms!!

phil - Really? I used to use the gym, shower and shave before work. Never saw the point of doubling up on the ablutions. The only proviso was if you were shaving, you couldn't use their towels.

Now the bloke in the sauna in my gym who left a skid mark on the pine bench... that was ugly.

Oh, and there is a guy at work who washes his bits in the sink (see email from someone else below to facilities) Another real story.

Paul,

This is a bit of a delicate matter, but it’s one I feel I should report.

I have previously heard rumours of a member of staff washing himself after going to the toilet; by which I mean more than his hands. I’m sure you appreciate what I’m saying and that I don’t need to spell it out. I had always assumed this was an ‘urban myth’, but recently experienced seeing it myself in the 1st floor toilet, which was obviously fairly unpleasant. This morning one of my colleagues also experienced it – suggesting it’s now quite a common occurrence.

Putting aside my obvious concerns over the whole hygiene issue, it would not exactly be good publicity should a client see anything like this going on.

I think you can probably guess who it is that I’m talking about, though I will confirm it if you need me to.

If you were able to take this matter up with the relevant person I would be grateful.

Regards,

Oh, and post-pubescent girls getting changed with their dads in the mens' changing room (14-15 year olds).

Did you tell them to come back in a few years?

It's why I don't go to gyms. Too much politics.

Guy at our gym on Wednesday night was shaving his butt cheeks - I couldn't believe what I was seeing until a couple of other people commented how inappropriate it was. The same guy also has the appalling habit of clearing his throat and chest in that incredibly loud and hawking sound and then loudly spitting the contents of his clearance into the shower.

all the public genital shaving is a bit gross.. I wouldn't have made a complaint to the management though..

I think I would have asked him if his shower was broken at home maybe.. or coughed 'CRABS' repeatedly until he looked around and then blamed it on someone else..

why not wait till he trys it again and give him an accidental nudge as your passing just wait till the razors in contact with skin

I got out of the loo to find a bloke standing starkers and shaving his face on the toilet side of the room.

There was a unisex toilet and changing room at my old workplace. Obviously the intelligent thing to do would be to change in the toilet and only do minor faffing in the changing room (tie tie, change shoes, whatever).

My (female) colleague was constantly walking into the changing room and finding (male) colleagues prancing around in their sweaty y-fronts.

So the only cubicles were toilets? What's the point of that then? What exactly are you supposed to "change" in the changing rooms?

Okay - think of it this way - there was a larger unisex cloakroom/locker room. Off the cloakroom/locker room, and only accessible through that room, was a single occupancy toilet (room with walls and floor to ceiling door, not a cubicle). HTH.

I think this is why we have the "no shaving" signs in the sauna - obviously you can't shave your face in there - the mirror would steam up.

True disgrace though, you're meant to just rest your tackle on a warm flannel over the edge of the sink.
