Dirty old man at the gym
Replies

In commercial gyms, old men drying themselves in the locker room, in the middle of the route between showers/toilets and main room, one foot on a central seating section, taking at least 15-20 mins to dry each ball.
Why? Really, why?
Hahaha, you wouldn't believe that stuff that happens in the female locker room.
One time at my gym, I just got out of the shower and was walking back to my locker when I saw this older lady (maybe like 55-60) with one leg propped on the bench and a handheld mirror in her hand, plucking away at her vajayjay. I was permanently scarred.
Oh my gawd. Wtf people. It's called a public bathroom bc. It's used by everyone not for people to landscape their goodies. Yuck!0 -
That is seriously disturbing.
My worst one was a guy that took a cell phone video of my butt while I was on the elliptical. I saw what he was doing in my peripheral vision, did a double take, and he literally RAN away. Yeah dude, that was super discreet, we're surrounded by mirrors. I was the only person in the cardio bay at that time. It made me so uncomfortable that I never went back (apartment gym)0 -
Hmm... thoughts as they occurred: it must have been because of some mental health or age-related issue; sorry you were freaked out; yes, inappropriate; gitchee gitchee goo is actually a pretty funny little phrase (though it obviously was off-putting to hear); I think your giving way was natural for a kind person, especially a female kind person, but I think he might have responded to your response to him, and I wonder what would have happened if you'd just ignored him and carried on; yes, let management negotiate this if you see him again.0

As an old man myself who has never been to a gym, I see now I've been missing something, I will join straight away :laugh:
Joking apart, I've found being old gives you a certain leeway to say things (which I do ocasionally to be controversial) or do things (which I don't) which a younger person can't get away with. There have to be some benefits to age, it's pretty sh1tty otherwise, and if we're lucky we all get there in the end. It is better than the alternative though.......
Still the old guy in the OP's story is just out of order and needs to be told so, directly. Not sure about assaulting or reporting though.0 -
I really don't think this is that bad, I find it quite hilarious actually.0

Never had an old man perv over me, but I had a young man with learning difficulties tell me once that I had a nice rack while I was on one of the weights machines. To this day I still don't know if he was talking about my breasts or weight selection! :laugh:0

Ugh. I'm sure you wanted to slap the guy. I hope you don't see him again.0
-
Sorry, at first I had to laugh!! Now that's absolutely horrible and you should report him!!!!0

Ewwwww at what point do people think this sort of thing is acceptable in front of other people!?! Closet exhibitionists should stay in the closet!!!!!!0 -
Im gonna be a dirty old man one day
hahahahah 0 -
That's seriously yuk..I think I'd told him to piss off..people think just because they are old, they can get away with it :huh:0

So I see this old man at the gym. He is overweight, wearing khakis and suspenders, and walking with a cane. I think to myself, good for him. Until I get on the angled leg curl machine. The equipment in my gym is super close together, so when people walk by, you have to pull your legs in, or they don't have room to walk by. So I have 90 lbs on the machine, which is a lot for me. The old man goes to walk by, so I pull my legs in and hold them in. He stops directly in front of me. I tell him he has to move, cause I can't hold this weight in any longer and I will kick him. So he slowly shuffles over. I release the weights, finally, and the dirty old man reaches down, tickles my feet, and says "gitchee gitchee goo." Seriously???? Wtf!! I told him he best get his hands off me quick!
What creepy people have you run into in the gym??
You should have kicked him and gave him a need for TWO canes. A disability doesn't automatically exempt him from consequences. If it were me, next time I saw this chump, he'd meet the pavement, just cause. Leeway is for those who are afraid of taking action and direct effect of action. Random Strange People need to know up front, as long as you are alive, this shall never be acceptable.
I read this, and immediately pictured the old man thief bit from *kitten*. "You'd do this to an old man?" "An old man who steals? I can't believe this."
Age does not suddenly exempt someone from being a moron, pervert, criminal, sicko, or complete idiot. I hold older people to a higher standard, they've lived longer, so they are supposed to know better. And if they don't, I'll educate them.0 -
I spent quite a few years working in nursing homes with plenty of pervy old guys. I heard this guy tell another woman that he was working out while his wife was in zumba class. He had all of his faculties, as he easily could figure out the machines. And its not like I'm a young one! Totally creeped me out. If he tries it again, I will report him.0

I kind of have this internal detector thing where I can tell when someone is actually trying to be a creep and when someone just doesn't know better and does not mean it in that way XD
I can tell by seein where their *other* hand is.You should have kicked him and gave him a need for TWO canes. A disability doesn't automatically exempt him from consequences.

*pretty* sure that's not exactly how things would go down.0 -
I can't wait to be a dirty old man instead of just a dirty man.
P.S. I'm totally going to rock some suspenders and a bow-tie.0 -
Yea, that dude is seriously creepy, but so awful at it that I can't help but laugh! More pathetic than dangerous, really.0

I used to be a dirty young man...then I got older.0

maybe they were confused and thought it was a PUBIC bathroom0 -
Report for sure.0

i hope you reported him... no one should be tickled with gitche gitche goo...
alot of the creepy old men like to hit on the girls with yoga pants.... those pants are like kryptonite0 -
My dad is 80, and although he doesn't go to gyms, it's something I could see him doing. Why? Because his generation is very different from ours. He isn't all there in the head, and things he does he thinks is funny. Funny in a friendly way, not a pervy way. I'm constantly having to explain to him why he can't say or do things in public because these days it's interpreted as being pervy or not acceptable. I think it's pretty easy to spot those that are dirtbags and those that are just being silly or friendly.0

Trust me, at least once a week I want to wash my eyes out with acid to try and erase some of the images I've seen.......0 -
I stay out of the gym!0

I'd rather see people barefoot than orange and squeezed into tight, short, too small clothing, with rolls of ick hanging out. Like my mom used to say, you can't stuff a 20lb turd in a 10lb bag. Well they try.. but it's nasty. lolThere's a chick that always works out barefoot at the gym.
Ewww!0 -
:laugh: that's so funny! I pictured the perve tickling you! I'd have cussed the @ss hole out! And warned him if he came within 5ft of me again I'd knock him out!0

Men from that generation lived in a time where it was perfectly fine to treat women like that and far worse. I was astounded at some of the stories my aunt has told me of how men treated her at her job back in the day.0

I haven't met anyone too creepy, thank goodness. I get the occasional comment on flexibility (I was a dancer for a long time growing up, and my stretching routine still reflects that), but for the most part people have been cool. It may help that my husband is my workout buddy

WOW! Well, let's see... There was the old Cuban guy that told me, "you sweat good," the handsome, young guy that referenced my nipples as I did my chest flies, the guy that made it his business to walk by me and stare at my *kitten* as I did lying leg curls (spoiler alert: I have a LARGE booty and I was lying on my stomach). He was even nice enough to just stop completely and stand over me (initially, unbeknownst to me), and the spinner instructor that CLEALY has a crush on me and prances back in forth in front of me in his spinning shorts, sans underwear (they're tight shorts and he's gotta jiggly booty) and with a MASSIVE BONER, before class as I sit in my car talking to my best friend before class begins.
Creepy enough???0
