I have already had quite the morning. For starters, I took my first shower at the gym. I was very nervous, but let me tell you, it was everything I hoped it would be. I even scored the handicapped shower, which is twice the size of the other showers and has a little stool.
No. I didn’t sit down. I was tempted (spinning was hard) but I think one too many naked butts have been on that thing for my liking.
You’ll also be happy to know that I’m not one of those people who walks around the locker room naked. But, I can now sympathize with those people, because those towels are small. Seriously, I’m a rather small person and I had to use three. I can see why some people just chuck them all together. Sort of. Not really. I’d probably bring my own.
I did all of this because I needed to go to the DMV and I wanted to get there right when it opens at eight so I could be home by nine to start working. So after my shower, I grabbed one of these:
And headed over, irrationally thinking that I’d be ten minutes early and probably the only one there.
Wrong.
Clearly I’m not as clever as I thought. The line was super long. But those people are efficient. I guess you have to be if you work at a Brooklyn DMV. I was out of there by 8:45 as planned and I’m now the owner of a New York driver’s license.
Kind of. They mail it to you in two weeks. Which is not so efficient, after all.
Yay for Naked Women Butts!!!
The hot ones at least.
I hate public gym locker-rooms, and I hate the DMV, so you have 100% sympathy from me!
I too am equally skeeved by the number of nudies who have sat on those benches. I try not to think about what goes down in the hot tub..
That coffee looks like it’s about to topple.. but I’m assuming it didn’t cause you would have been pissed. I would have been pissed.
Driving in NY? I would be terrified. I’m so happy I’m not taking a car with me out to Boston. You east cost drivers are crazy
Oof, I could never do the sans towel thing in the locker room. Though I can understand now that you point out about the tinsy sized towels.
But still.
i never understand how ppl walk around w/o a towel… ugh…
i haaaaaaate going to the dmv here, the line is always super long no matter when you go so i can imagine how it must be in nyc!
It’s always the older women who are the naked ones in the locker room.. I guess they are just comfortable with their bodies. But once at my old gym there was this younger girl (probably the same age as me) that obviously was proud of her body, as she should be, she was very fit. But she stayed completely naked slathering on lotion for like 10 minutes and was bending in odd positions, I guess to reach everywhere on her hot bod. It was awkward. Needless to say I thought it was unnecessary considering the time it took her to lotion her body I had changed from my work clothes into workout clothes and was ready to go out the door. Although, I did get dressed rather quick that day just to get out of there.
when i got my nys drivers license, i was so proud that i was prepared and got to the dmv early. too bad every single other person who needed a license was there before me. i wasted my entire morning there. ick.
The naked people in the locker room freak me out. Especially because I belong to the Y, not a young hip gym like Crunch or something. A lot of old people belong to the Y. It’s not cool. Use those tiny towels, damnit!
The naked women butts always belong to saggy 50+ year old women, who take an unnecessarily long time to get dressed. I always really wish they could just throw on a pair of undies. That way I coud stop staring. It’s like a car crash- I can’t help but gawk…
its cool you are the one that walks around naked because im the wone that stares the nakeds.
I mean…
ignore that.
“one” and stares “at”.
Oh man, really ignore it now.
ahh
the postage stamp towels.
one thing I dont miss about having a life and not always having a toddler by my side.
The locker room showers totally freak me out! I would work out on my lunch break except I can’t get over my fear of the showers. So kudos to you!
Chris -
Let’s keep it clean, please.
VG -
I appreciate it.
Erika -
Oh, I don’t drive. No way. My license is purely for drinking purposes.
Brookem -
But still. My point exactly.
Lindz -
The DMV sucks in general. I feel bad for the people who work there.
Eating -
Yeah, it is. This old lady next to me was putting on her make up naked. I don’t get it.
Betsy -
That’s exactly what happened to me.
Arielle -
I belong to Crunch! We have old people, trust me.
Hannah -
I know, it is like that. And also, your blog scares my computer. I’ve been meaning to tell you that. Whenever I go to it it starts huffing and puffing and then it freezes. So, I would like to read it, but I can’t, is my point.
Kelly -
WAIT. I didn’t say I walk around naked. Let’s not start any rumors. And everyone stares at the nakeds I think. You can’t help it. They’re naked. It’s weird.
Mizfit -
That’s an accurate description.
Meg -
They aren’t that bad! I was scared but it’s just like college. Not that I’m going to do it again if I don’t have to, but it wasn’t horrible.
Wow. Not sure what’s going on with my blog. Anyone else having problems?
