Was there another locker available that wasn't near this guy or anybody else? I hate when I get in the gym and start putting stuff in my locker and a guy takes one right next to me when there are others available. I literally had a guy take a locker right next to me, getting undress and all when I was the ONLY ONE in the locker room and there were plenty of other lockers available. I told him, "This must be your favorite locker." He asked why did I think that. I then told him the obvious. There's no one else using any lockers in the room but you decide to take one right next to me so now we have to bump shoulders.
It's just like when you park as far away as you can from the supermarket where all the empty spaces are and then you come back to your car and someone has parked right next to you so you can barely open your door to get in your car. My anger just builds as I walk to my space and see this barren part of the parking lot with just two cars parked side by side with my door being blocked.
It has nothing to do with social distancing, just give people some space and breathing room. Why would anyone want to take a locker right next to someone else if there are others available?
Easy does it, friend.
I agree.
However, in this instance, the area of the change room I prefer has three, yes, three, lockers, side-by-side.
Besides, as I say, it was obvious he was readying to leave. And very almost there.
And I always arrive all gym-clothed-up. I just needed to change shoes (on a bench no less than eight feet away) and put my jacked into the locker.
