Correct anger

Or when the urinals/stalls are all taken and the sinks get enlisted as backups.

Back at the old Vet Stadium in Philly, getting peed on was often the penalty for those who got too drunk and passed out on the concourse.
This is one reason Philly people are much worse, and by orders of magnitude, than those rural Pennsylvania "mud people" relatives you've often carped about.

My own Pa. "mud people" are good, honest, hard-working and strong.
But I've never ever had a good time hanging out with Philly people in Philly.
 
I'm still processing the weekly 'bath' I had to take at overnight camp.
Sunday morning all the campers lined up by the lake with just a towel. Walked into a shed where the head counselors watched as you dropped the towel so they could check for any rashes or bad bites. Then it was a naked bath in the lake with all the other campers.
It's no coincidence at all that this is how ****o picks his Cabinet, too.

Filthiest toilets I ever experienced were at Franklin Field. 🤮🤢
 
I would appreciate, when I wave you through a four way stop or in a parking lot, that you simply acknowledge with a quick wave. It's worse from women in GMC or Cadillac 4x's who seem to think, that as an old white dude, I've wronged them in a past life or something.

What's the correct level of anger for the old guys who insist on walking around in the men's locker room totally naked?
My first newspaper job, I lived with two other reporters. They had YMCA memberships near our apartment, but I went to a Gold’s a few miles away. They also joked that I was odd for driving to the gym when they walked and how I paid more.

Then one day, my one roomie walks in and goes, “I just saw our publisher’s junk in the Y locker room. How much is Gold’s?
 
Our junior high (and most if not all in Long Beach) had big stall showers. Showers after PE were required and we got "towels" smaller and thinner than paper towels. 9th-graders would sit atop the lockers throwing the towels down as we all jumped up and down, soaking wet, trying to snatch one. Snoop Dogg's penis grazed my body more than a few times in 7th and 8th grade.
 
UPDATE

So I was at Planet Fitness again yesterday where I pushed out three miles on a treadmill in 43 minutes. Go to the men's locker room to change out of my shoes and an old head is in there, fresh from the shower, wrapped in a towel. "Finally," I thought. "A normal one."

Then he dried off and put on a "Trump International" hoodie.
 
I don’t even like making eye contact with guys exiting a bathroom or stall I’ve been waiting on.

I absolutely hate the idea of changing out of swim trunks in an open shower area at the pool or beach. Either I am managing the whole operation inside a toilet stall (standing on my flip flops the whole time) or I am pulling off impossible moves while keeping a towel covering my junk for 99 percent of the time.
 
I find the gyrations about our bodies kind of bizarre. I am not very modest and I attribute part of that to college. You live with women and they see you in various stages of undress and it was what it was. But I've also had a baby and when you have a baby a lot of people put their hands inside your body. And about that point I could not really give a rat's ass if someone saw my ass or whatever. And as someone who's been in a lot of locker rooms, let me be the first to assure you that your junk is not that interesting and I'm really not wanting to look at it. Whether I'm going to take a **** or I'm interviewing you or I'm walking around the room. It's just not that interesting.
 
I work in a large, corporate setting.

The number of people I've seen use the facilities (even to go No. 2) and then just nonchalantly walk out without even looking at the sink, is disheartening. If you want to be gross, that's fine. But when others are in the bathroom, at least go over and pretend to wash your hands.

Have a funny feeling this is primarily a male situation.

In the men’s room on the floor of my office, there is 1. One guy who keeps taking craps and then not flushing and 2. Someone who leaves a toothbrush and toothpaste next to the sink.

It may not be my group as there are other groups at my agency, and there are a couple other businesses that share the building and one of them is on my floor. I’ve half-been tempted to put up some signs in the men’s room telling people to flush the toilets and remove their toothbrushes.

I don't know if there is an equivalent medical experience for men. After massive heart failure, an aorta(l?) replacement, and quadruple bypass in 2020, along with the attendant hospital stays, introversion and modesty went out of the window. Follow-up visits that required an unobstructed view of surgical sites were no problem. The first couple of years, it was hard to wear a bra, so I was doffing my shirts and letting everything hang out.

Before that, I would have made a great Amish, Lubavitcher, or Muslima. Cover me up! It was the only way I felt safe.

Scratch the boys with the toothbrush every time it’s on the sink.
 
i savor every opportunity I get to parade naked around a locker room. For obvious reasons.

That's. Gross.

I keep a toothbrush and toothpaste in a desk drawer and brush after lunch. I put toothpaste on my brush in my office and take a plastic cup with me. That toothbrush touches nothing in the bathroom except my mouth, and then I throw away the cup after rinsing. I can't imagine leaving a toothbrush in a bathroom used by other people. Gross.

Yeah, I know. It’s happened at least twice, if not three times in the last few months. I understand it happening once if who the user is forgot about it, but come on.

The flushing the toilet thing has happened more often. That’s worse, to me. Yeah, it only means I have to take five seconds to flush your toilet, but that’s something everyone learns to do in kindergarten.

When I am home, I take at least one (often 2) walks a day in my town, and I always go out of my way to wave to acknowledge drivers who properly stop for me when I’m at an intersection. I also try not to cross in between the marked intersections (although I’m guilty of doing so when the traffic is light).

I wave crossing only if I am jaywalking. If I'm in a crosswalk, the driver is just following the law. You don't get a reward for that. I try not to jaywalk and don't stop for jaywalkers, especially when the crosswalk is 20 feet away.

It's against the law to hit pedestrians. How many have you hit if you don't stop?
