I’m fond of saying, "you can’t cure stupid". I know, kind of mean but a fact of life nonetheless.
A whole slew of guys got busted for inappropriate behavior in the steam room at the gym today. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not passing judgment. [1]That would make me a total hypocrite mind you. But that is not about to stop me from pointing out the hilarity of the situation. Lord knows, I’ve been known to tinker around in there a time or two (or three). That said, how stupid do you have to be to do it while two of the gym employees are directly in front of the steam room working on the showers? It is called subtlety bitches! Seriously though, you have to walk thru the showers to even get to the steam room. And, it has a glass door.
Anyway, I head in after my workout (Cardio day, ugh!)) and it is packed. Literally, standing room only. At this point I’m wondering if I missed a holiday as it is almost never this busy in the late mornings. There is this rather odd couple [2]Don’t ask because God don’t like ugly. in the corner going at it. "Mmmmm-kay", I think to myself. I’m in the process of saying to myself, "surely no one else is stupid enough to do anything while the employees are right there…" when this older rather unattractive fellow moves so he can stand over the couple. You can guess what he was doing. Before you know it, 3 other guys are all crowded around going at it.
Now, daddy might have raised ugly but he sure as hell didn’t raise stupid. I just politely moved out of the way, tucked my head down, and counted. I made it to 30 before the manager and several members of the staff burst in and kicked 5 of the guys out. The other 4 or 5 bailed like a hooker in church. I just sat there giggling. Of course, knowing several of the employees, I found out the 5 also had their memberships suspended for 30 days. The couple apparently made a big stink about it.
I know I’m going to Hell for laughing but I was stunned by the stupidity displayed. I have no objections to the behavior as they were all adults and 99% of the guys in there are after the same thing. [3]And please save any self-righteous comments. I’m a grown man and take responsibility for my actions. However, a word to the wise boys. When you go into a public place looking for sex and you get busted, don’t feign surprise and anger over it. Just tuck your tail between your legs, accept your licks, and move on.
‘nuf said.
You have made me giggle, cause you know damned well that we’ve ALL been there and done that. Numerous times, as you’ve pointed out. But, I’m with you…. hello! Not in front of the employees! Idiots. And our world is full of them. Reminds me of one of my stupid,ignorant, times:

Call me naive or old fashioned, I just don’t understand why.
accept your licks and move on, yep thats what I like to do…
What did George Carlin say, “Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!
Fuck, they WERE stupid! Whenever I do anything at the gym it is always at odd hours, or I make sure there is like NOBODY around.
Geesh! I mean, its not rocket surgery folks!
