I think some people have no sense of personal space at the gym, so why not use it as a pick-up joint (for those types anyway). I'm reminded of a story David Tennant told in an interview about how he was in a gym shower, literally in the shower, naked, and some other naked dude came up to him and asked for his autograph.

How awkward! I've noticed some odd behavior in the locker room but nothing that invasive. Mostly I'm just appalled by the talking on the cellphone while in the toilet stall, or going straight into the sauna fully dressed in sweaty workout clothes.

Women in my office bring their cell phones into the bathrooms and don't try to hide it. I can't figure out why they'd do that instead of going into one of the break rooms or even the stairwell. If I'm feeling particularly evil, I'll flush while they're talking.

BTW, have you ever visited stumptuous.com? They are pretty entertaining if you are working with weights.

BodyTribe.com is also pretty interesting - I've only recently begun looking at their posts. Got the link from someone on Dreamwidth.
