I'm a copywriter for a youth branding agency in Lincoln, Nebraska called Archrival. That's right... Lincoln, Nebraska. And you're about to see what that's like! Exciting, no?!

I know this isn’t the original version of this song, but I when I hear this one I instantly picture Gwyneth Paltrow coming off of that bus. Jackson Browne just can’t do that for me.

There are certain unspoken rules when you shower at the gym. Some are more obvious (like ‘no singing’ or ‘no peeing’), and some are tricky (like ‘avoid eye contact but stay eye level’ or ‘wash yourself but don’t spend too much time on any one area’). The whole thing is a mess. And really… makes me a little uneasy.
I just wish they had a big list posted on the wall or something so I’d know.
It certainly would’ve saved me some embarrassment yesterday when the only other guy in the shower sneezed.
How do you handle that situation?! Can you say “bless you” to a naked stranger? It’s not like you’re creating conversation, right? Plus you don’t even need to look at them; you just say it out loud.
Well that’s what I thought. But I said it and this guy didn’t respond. He just let it hang there like I was an idiot. And then, like an idiot, I turned around to see if he even heard me. That was broken rule #2. Then I was making eyes with a guy who does more weightlifting than stationary biking, if you catch my drift.
Needless to say, it was a bad experience.
And now I’m thinking maybe proper gym shower etiquette is actually showering at home.
