When I worked in a gym
I encountered a few eccentrics. The one who stands out is the Hairdryer Lady.

Complaints started to come in about a woman who'd do a yoga class, take a shower and then dry herself entirely with the wall-mounted hairdryer.

She'd stand starkers in front of the big mirror and watch herself dry first her hair, then upper body, armpits, chest...

She dried her chest by lifting up each breast and wafting the dryer underneath. Then she'd turn round and do her back, all the time watching in the mirror.

Then her belly, and then - yes, she would actually cock one leg up on the vanity unit and thoroughly dry her fadge, probably on 'warm' rather than 'hot'.

There were often kids around. She didn't care who saw her and several young boys received impromptu face-level anatomy lessons.

As it was my job to keep order in the locker room, I watched out for her, caught her at it and sternly told her to use a towel and dry off in private from then on.

She seemed a sane, rather posh woman (this was an expensive gym) and strangely, she didn't seem embarrassed. More disappointed that she couldn't carry on waving her mutton about.

Yes, but...
Was she fit?

Unlikely...

I used the word 'chest'
to suggest her attention to the general area, before she moved on to the funny bit.

She was in her 40s, very trim, nice hair, not at all a scraggy tramp.

Gym loonies
I think gym's attract them.

At my gym we had a bloke practice kick boxing in the mirror naked once.

Last week some guy came in and just started rapping at people (well, me) getting changed. The thing was I was embarrassed on his behalf. How does that work.

This is the YMCA Central in London. Why they can't just stick to eyeing each other up in the showers is anyone's guess.

"several young boys received impromptu face-level anatomy lessons."
Clicky for that alone....

Can't your gym afford two changing rooms?
Maybe its because I'm a nudist, but I'm of the opinion that if a parent takes a child of either sex into somewhere that they'll be people in various states of undress they then can't complain about nudity.

This is true
but sticking a hairdryer up your mimsy is probably taking it a bit too far.

Yup
one felt that the 'rents were happy with normal nudity and healthy towelling down but uneasy with her more balletic hygiene routine.
