So.. the other day when I went into the ladies locker room of the gym, there was this woman just standing there. She wasn’t changing or dressing after the shower or anything. Initially I barely noticed because I had my iPhone blasting some Young the Giant in my ears. (They are so wonderful to listen to!!) But in the process of undressing for the shower I have to part with my music and that’s when I noticed this woman wasn’t just standing there, she was talking.
Of course, in this day and age, I assumed she was talking on the phone. But after a little observation (she was walking and talking all over the locker area) I realized the only conversation she was having was with her “imaginary friends.” She was obviously schizophrenic.
Thankfully, she seemed completely oblivious to me. I swear I took the fastest shower on the planet!! Because if she WASN’T an afflicted nut-case then she was a thief PRETENDING to be an afflicted nut-case… and is waiting to steal my new iPhone from my locker. (yea, yea, I should lock it, but knowing me I’d lose the combination or it would stick, blah, blah, excuse, excuse. But I don’t bring my valuable to the gym for this very reason.)
While I was dressing, she went on with her “private” conversation. I was very thankful her train of thought wasn’t agitating her. I didn’t need “crazy” exploding into something while I was in my panties & bra!
An one point she left the locker room . I didn’t see her as I left & assumed she’d left the gym completely. The next morning I asked Arpi, the regular worker there, how had this woman got into the gym. Not only do you have to enter in your code you have to scan a finger or be stopped by personnel.
Her answer…. “She had a membership!”
Oh Jeez!
