Mortified.

Sometimes telling yourself that you have a clear conscience doesn't help you feel any less embarassed. Went for a swim this evening, and an hour later, I got out of the pool and proceeded to the changing room to have my bath. I'm quite blind without my glasses or my prescription goggles, so I just fumbled my way through and headed for the nearest empty cubicle. I had already started on my bath when I realised to my horror and disgust that there was a used sanitary pad lying on the lower shelf. In my haste to bathe, I did not spot it in time. SHIT! But I couldn't possibly change cubicles then, since I was already undressed and dripping wet. So I took my bath at record speed, all the while having this retching feeling in my throat just by thinking about the amount of nasty germs that was being emitted from that dirty pad. The trauma did not end with the bath. Just as I rushed out of the cubicle, there was a cleaner sitting nearby, waiting to clean the cubicle. And of course she had to see the pad and turned to give me a dirty look, to which I had to clarify loudly, "It's not mine! It's very dirty right?" IT SOUNDED SOOOO LAME, and naturally, she didn't believe me, sigh...I can't tell you how glad I was to step out of the swimming complex tonight.

WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE SO FUCKING UNHYGIENIC????!!!!
