How do you play this locker room scenario? (1 Viewer)

[Otis]

You are at the local gym (NYSC) just after lunch hour in a downtown area of a densely populated city. You are just out of the shower and doing your getting dressed routine. The locker room is thinning out and it's quiet except for one guy talking on his cell phone with Orbitz or some other travel site, loudly complaining and being pretty douschy because, so he says, they booked him on a flight for a different day than what he says he put into the web form (there is no doubt in my mind this did not happen; it was either operator error or this guy is trying to avoid paying a change fee). You're rolling your eyes already and then it dawns on you that you need to fire up the blowdryer to dry your hair. You would use the one just next to you, but it would surely drown out this guy's now-heated conversation with the sales rep. You can't pretend you didn't know he was on the phone because it was dead quiet in there aside from the sound of you and the two other guys getting dressed all rolling your eyes at this guy. You could go over and give him a "hey buddy, I'm about to turn one of these blow dryers on" to give him a chance to take his call elsewhere. Or if you don't feel like dealing with it, there is another bank of blow dryers around the corner that likely will not disturb his conversation. It's 20 degrees outside and you are going back to work, so wet hair isn't a viable option here.

Your move.

 

[bigbottom]

Head to the other bank.

 

[Ned]

What's the freezing temp of hair gel?

 

[TLEF316]

I'm not sure why a man would use a blow dryer (is this a thing? I've always just towel dried) but this is a no-brainer.

Drying your hair is something that is supposed to happen in a locker room. Talking on the phone with a sales rep from Orbitz is not. You win. Dry away.

 

[xulf]

Aren't you bald?

 

[Ignoramus]

Any time someone is talking on a phone in a restroom, I make "bathroom noises" as loudly as possible. Not sure how that translates to the locker room, but my gut says blow dry as normal.

 

[Ilov80s]

I would walk to the other bank because unlike the jerk on the phone, I try to go out of my way to not disturb other people.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Cell phone in a locker room? This guy isn't talking to anyone. He's recording naked guys.

Exactly. I would join an all-female gym. Stuff like that doesn't fly in those places.

 

[eoMMan]

Use a towel to dry my hair like most straight men.

Zing!

 

[McGarnicle]

First I'd do that thing where you put your palms up to your mouth and blow to make some really loud fart noises, then yell "OH DEAR GOD, MEXICAN FOOD GETS ME EVERY TIME", then fire up the dryer.

 

[Rayderr]

Blow dry as normal. His stupidity for trying to conduct an important phone call (that he initiated most likely) in a lockerroom.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Blow dry your junk. Make sure you're in eyeshot.

 

[shadyridr]

Cell phone use in a locker room is usually against gym rules

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Yep.

 

[The Big Guy]

Dry away. That is what the locker room is for and if he can't yell over it, that is his problem.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

You're the doosh on the phone and he turned on the hair dryer, didn't he? C'mon, admit it.

 

[Otis]

Yes, he definitely initiated the call. And he was being an obnoxious moron from the get-go.

 

[Sabertooth]

Just do your thing. People are so conflict avoidant nowadays that he'll probably just go home and slap his kids or something. Not your problem.

 

[Guest]

With dryer in hand, give him a quick nod that you're going to turn it on. No words necessary. Blast away as normal.

 

[SWC]

the funny thing brohan is that you want to say well karma says this guy should get the full blow dryer effect not that there is anything wrong with that but also if you are rude to someone on purpose you are now setting yourself up for karma to come around and kick you in the nads long story short do not do the passive agressive thing and go over to the other bank rise above be a good guy on the high road and do not stoop to his level even though it sounds like was a real jerkwad that is what those of us that prefer apple to pumpkin would do take that to the bank

 

[Peyton Marino]

Towel dry doesn't get the job done? How long do you keep your hair?

I would just head over to the other hair dryer bank unless it's a huge inconvenience. Doesn't sound like a big deal to me.

 

[Sinn Fein]

I think the right play here would have been to take your towel off, walk up to the guy naked and tell him you need to use a blower.

Need a blower or need to use a blower?

what kind of metrosexual uses a blow dryer?

 

[Tom Servo]

Yep.

Why? Transmitting farts and flushing of toilets is considered gauche?

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

No "Start playing with yourself" option? What are Smoo, Studs and Duds, and I going to check?

 

[belljr]

Blow dry his hair

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Reenact the Eastern Promises locker room scene with him

 

[Jobber]

Cell phone in a locker room? This guy isn't talking to anyone. He's recording naked guys.

My first thought is it's an absolute no-no to even have a cell out in a locker room. Blow dry away. No f**** given.

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

Kinda want to see a pic of your hair now.

 

[fantasycurse42]

He's in a locker room with showers, blow dryers, hand dryers, etc... This isn't his private conference room. If I want to have a call to complain to a merchant about a charge, I do it like an adult from the privacy of my own home or office.

Fire away.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

You're the doosh on the phone and he turned on the hair dryer, didn't he? C'mon, admit it.

lol

 

[Fennis]

bang his wife

 

[Righetti]

was he talking in the buff?

how high is his belly-button?

A blowdryer and _product_.

Why did it take 35 responses before the obvious?

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I went 2, but hey why not just get a hat.

 

[Zegras11]

[chet]

Go about my business as normal and unleash hell if the ##### had the audacity to say anything about the noise emanating from the blow dryer I chose to use.
