    I’ll stop using my headphones when other stop drying their swimsuits by the heater and/or carrying on a conversation. Bottom line is that if there is no rule posted against a behavior, it’s ok. And a rule like “be considerate of others” is too vague.

    I don’t understand the disagree button. 3 people disagreed with my post. Does this mean someone disagrees with the fact that I will continue to wear my headphones or disagrees with the fact that if there is no gym rule against headphones, you are allowed to wear them?

    I totally thought about this thread when I was in the sauna and one person was stretching/doing ab exercises, one person was on their phone scrolling social media and listening to music where you could hear it outside the headphones and another was listening to music on earphones lower where you couldn't hear, but was singing along out loud :lol:

    Here's my confession. I sometimes use the sauna to take work calls because it's one of the few places with no background music blaring. But ONLY if A) no one is in there or B ) the only people in there are my chatty regulars and I get their permission first.

    Presumably they disagree with "if there is no rule posted against behaviour, it's OK" which is different to the bolded.

    I see. Would have been nice of them to point that out instead of just hitting disagree. But that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong.

    Someone disagreed with my post saying I had produce rotting in my compost bin - you can't take disagrees seriously ;)

    As my glasses get too hot to wear in the sauna, I question the wisdom of bringing devices into them. Sure, the heat may not kill them immediately, but what is the high temperature doing to the device's lifespan?

    When I used to sauna, I'd bring a book.

    Would it be okay if I use someone else's devices in the sauna?

    It would not occur to me to take one in 😂
