Gym Hazards

I once wrote that I was thinking of joining one of those 24 hour gyms because it would be good living on a teacher's wages (all the hot water I want, couches big enough to sleep on in front of flat-screen televisions, etc.). Well, I ended up joining a couple weeks ago and now I understand the phrase, "Nothing in life is for free."

The social norms are not what I'm used to even though you would think that I'm not that bashful. For example, I do not think there is a need for a stranger to comment on the boxers that I'm wearing--we're not close enough. Yes, they were novelty Christmas boxers and this IS July, but beggars can't be choosers.

Of course I can see that the whole situation wasn't this guy's fault and that he was just reacting to what he saw. But, can anyone explain why he was shaving completely in the nude? Perhaps he had a second destination after his face, but I didn't hang around to find out!
