Man Rule: No Conversations in a Shared Shower Situation.

This is a serious issue. I workout at 24 Hour Fitness and whenever I have to go somewhere afterwards, I usually shower there. If you've never been, the shower room setup is exactly how it was in Jr. High or High School. Although there are dividers, there are no doors or curtains. This isn't really a problem for most guys as long as you are comfortable in your skin and your sexuality. I don't have any problems with this setup, but as I walked in to shower today I was shocked to see two men having a full on convo as they were drying off. As I showered I couldn't help but feel that this situation was just not right.

I believe it should be a generally accepted "Man Rule" that whilst in the shower room, you must keep your head at eye level and shower at the most efficient rate possible. No lingering...and definitely no conversations. Come on guys, can't you just wait until you get back to your locker?

It might depend... what were they discussing? : )

haha, i honestly blocked them out. i think subconciously, i didn't want to listen in because that would mean i was a part of the conversation too. thus making me a breaker of the man rule as well.

hey, did I ever tell you about my gym shower incident?

Nope. what is it?

p.s.- i'm not sure how much detail i've gone into this with you before, but i decided to get my teaching credentials to become an elementary school teacher. i want to pick your brain.
