Sauna and steam room users.

Specifically the people at my gym who sit there and slurp like an anteater from a 2 litre bottle of water, or those constantly throwing water at the sensor in the steam room or the lady wearing an eye mask and constantly scratching her arms, legs,hands and other bits, or the tts who come in with their super duper I'm a protein drinks and glug away because they have done 30 mins biceps and because, well, muscles.

They are all tossers of the highest water and for some reason today, at Nuffield Health, Chingford, I was annoyed beyond reason by their collective irritating habits.

I repaired to the showers and thence the changing room to be greeted by an old wrinkly geezer drying his nuts with the hair dryer!

Some days eh!

People in this country generally have no idea about sauna etiquette.

Mrs RT and me have a membership of a nice little private spa just round the corner. Two pools, sun terrace, gym, steam room and sauna. Decent restaurant attached too. But the way that people use the sauna is deplorable.

1) not sitting on a towel - who do you think wants to sit on your wet greasy patch when they come in?

2) using the place as a drying room for towels and footwear - unnecessarily opening the door, raising the humidity with their smelly towels, etc. It's a bath, for crying out loud. Would they like it if I rinsed out my socks in the jacuzzi while they were in it? I have now taken to putting abandoned towels outside the door. Wife threatens to disown me

3) and women, I am afraid to say, who go in there solely to dry their hair for five minutes and then go out again, opening the door and lowering the temperature unnecessarily.

4) have I had opening the door and having a chat with their friend outside about what lunch to order?

5) and finally, rabbiting away about the most stupid rubbish imaginable while I am in there trying to relax. No wonder the Scandinavians say behave in the sauna like you would in church.

These vultures in Sainsburys car park wanting to wash your car.

More of them than punters in my local one this lunch time, could barely find a parking space for portable trolleys overflowing with gritty sponges and fairy liquid.

Then as soon as my driver door was open barely a millimetre, an old Romanian looking woman shouts across the car park...'car wash mate?'

I wanted to reply in my best regal accent 'No thank you...and one is certainly not your 'mate''....but I just walked off and said 'no thanks' as quickly as I could.

Yep - according to the UKGS - it also occured at a depth around 3-4 times deeper than shale gas deposits are typically exploited.

There used to be a family who did that on a busy road junction in Birmingham somewhere - though they'd wait for someone to stop when the lights were red, throw water over their windscreen and scrub it with a sponge, then try to get money off the driver!

I’m unsure if this should at least be split 50-50 with the “Council” thread.
My wife’s brother, who appears to exist on a diet of burgers and chips, pies and mash, (plus liquor), and take out Chinese food, pleading to come out to dinner with us when he finds out that we’ve made dinner reservations.
Without fail he’ll ask what chanterelles or champignons are, then say, “Why don’t they just put mushrooms?”
Then, when gazpacho or vichyssoise is explained to him again for the millionth time, he’ll say, “They put that, because if they wrote ‘cold soup’ on the menu, no one would order it.”
Then the usual diatribe about haricots vert and petit pois, “what’s wrong with green beans or peas?”
He eventually understood squash, but once he saw the word butternut next to it, it was back to square one, and I ever give in to his sister and let him come out with us again, I’ll make 100% sure that quinoa is not on the menu.
He ordered venison sausages and mash once, but told the waiter that he didn’t like mash, the waiter suggested fries as an alternative, he replied, “No, but I’ll have chips if you have them.”
