Showering @ the gym

Do you shower at your gym? DH, understandably, refuses to. He says there are always naked men wandering around thrusting forward their wrinkled old winkies in the men's locker room. He refuses to even pee in there, convinced that some old dude might brush up against him while he's standing at the urinal. It creeps him out the way they stand around, no clothing or towels to speak of, waxing intellectual about the war in Iraq and lawn bowling. The ladies locker room on the other hand is fairly modest. The worst I've seen is a butt verses granny panties battle - not pretty but not vomit inducing. The other day I mustered up the courage to shower there. I was excited about the prospect of a SHOWER instead of yet another bath (yep shower STILL isn't done). The bright orange warnings posted made me a bit paranoid "Warning: cellphones now have the ability to take pictures. Take care that you are not unwontanly photographed. In the event it does occur please report it immediately to staff" Umm ok so do I run naked and screaming down the hall so they have a chance of catching the perve or do I get dressed and go tell them that he got away... I gathered up my change of clothes, Fashionista color protect shampoo, and courage. The shower spray was like being peed on but hey - it was a SHOWER! The water was actually warm too. Since I wouldn't have to do the laundry I used 3 towels to dry off and wrap up my hair. I almost skied onto my butt when someone dropped something. I was convinced that someone was trying to take pictures of my naked ass. I threw on my clothes so fast my shirt was backwards. It was then I realized I had forgotten deodorant. Those that know me know I'm an anti BO freak. Often I carry deodorant around just incase I think I'm stinky... Alas that was in my purse AT HOME! I briefly contemplated kicking open some lockers in search of any deodorant I could find. I started opening unlocked lockers to see if anyone left some. I did see a stick but got a skeezy feeling at the thought of smearing someone else's BO juice under my arms. Instead I collected my kids and sped home. The first thing I did was put on deodorant....
