Third
My current nemesis is a woman at the gym. When I go, I always go in the early morning- leave home at 6.30am and get there for 6.45am. And without fail the same woman is there, or will come in five minutes after I start changing. The reason I'm going to the gym in the first place is I want to lose a few pounds, so I'm not really happy about changing in front of people as it is. Intellectually I know I'm not obese but other people watching me change makes me feel overweight and unselfconfident. Most of the time this isn't a problem- all the other women are exactly the same no matter how thin they are, get changed with eyes down and as fast as they can. Except for this oldish lady- probably late fifties. Really really thin. Not an attractive taut kind of slimness but a saggy skin kind of slimness. It's bad enough that she walks around the changing room naked apart from her socks, but always, always she says something to me about the weather or whatever and automatically I look up. When I go on the crosstrainer she picks the one next to me, and usually manages to arrange it so she finishes about the same time as me as well.

I've tried swapping my times, but the early morning is the most convenient, since I'm busy during the day and too tired at night. So there you go.- My gym nemesis

MTFU
And get some grey girly action. She's obviously gagging for you.

That was going to my response...
so, how about: Just let her lick it and have done.

Chicken neck people
My mothers friends are all like this. They are a strange breed. Try to imagine this person with a large chicken head - it might help give you a lol if nothing else.

I've worked in a gym and use them a lot, can't see a problem!
There're always changing cubicles for the shyer ladies. I never change in front of other people.

The crowded cross-trainer conundrum is easy to solve. That particular exercise gets the old innards going a treat, and many people fart uncontrollably after the first couple of minutes.

Beans on toast for supper the night before should help things along. Heinz do nice curried ones.

Or you could just move rearrange your program a bit so you're on the cross-trainer at a different time? Or move to the bike as soon as she turns up?

Or maybe talk to her? She likes you. She may wish to adopt you.

We have no changing cubicles sadly
I like your suggestions though, thanks!

It's just another instance of my uncontrollable magnetism I'm afraid. Old people and crazies always think I'm nice so they seek me out. If she wished to adopt me I'm not sure I'd like the consequences
