Locker Rooms:Disgusting, Rude and Vain-Part 2

I think since a couple of days have past that it is now time for the second installment of my locker room experiences. Don't worry. There are only three posts on this topic then I promise to move forward onto happier...flowery-er pastures.

So, we've covered the loogie hocker. Which was the disgusting and rude side of my experience. Now, moving on to the just plain disgusting.

Let me start by saying that in my own personal experience I have found that a true friend will tell you about the most embarrassing of developments with your physicality. Bat in the cave (aka:booger), food in the teeth, eye boogie, lipstick on the teeth, smudged makeup, and sometimes the fact that your butt crack is hanging out the back of your pants. And where it may be slightly embarrassing at the time, we are all grateful for the intel so we don't run around all day like a goofoon.

So, one day in the locker room a woman in her late 40's (totally just a guesstimate here) was changing into her gym clothes. She was flanked on either side by a couple of workout buddies and was turning to address each one as to what the days workout routine would be. So these two women were seeing her front to back and vice versa.

Well, when she turned so her back was to me I received the misfortune of seeing what can only be described as a 'female skid mark' up her back above her underwear. Just like with the 'loogie lady', I felt the uncontrollable gag reflex take hold.

I had to wonder what kind of friends she had that wouldn't inform her of her little problem there. I mean wouldn't she reek a little bit. I was just thankful I was done with my workout, showered and getting the hell out of Dodge.

And the sad thing is that these situations are like car accidents. You don't want to add insult to injury by rubber-necking but, it's just hard to believe what your seeing. Then the stupid thoughts come into play. Was she in a hurry? Was she on one of those diet aids known to cause 'explosions' so to speak? Who knows?

I just think it was purely sad that the people she was with didn't say anything. And No, I didn't say anything either. But she didn't know me and I figured that would be doubly embarrassing. Besides, I hoped she was going to be taking a shower before leaving the gym.

The world will never know. Unfortunately, I do. And if too many more of these instances happen I fear that my retinas will burn right out of my eye sockets.

So remember, tell your friends when something is stuck, tangling or hanging out where it shouldn't. You will totally go up a few notches on the true friend radar.
