Author Topic: Selfie pics banned in gym..............changerooms (Read 3850 times)

old-school-lifter · « **on:** July 20, 2015, 09:22:33 PM »

so I hadn't worked out in a few weeks and returned to the gym this week and I see a new sign in the changeroom "the taking of photo's in changerooms is totally prohibited"

so I asked the staff did something happen to cause this

apparently some guy was taking a "selfie" which included a naked guy in the background
now, ive never taken a selfie but im pretty sure the person taking the pic will clearly see if there is someone in the background

im thinking it was a homosexual trying to take pics of the naked guy, the gym I train @ wound be about 70 % homosexuals

anyone hear of this sort of occurrence before?

No I haven't. Have you considered that the fellow was so concerned with his own image he didn't notice the naked guy?

I haven't seen anyone taking pics in the locker room recently but that schmoe with the chick on the leg press last week was creepy. The Star Wars nerdy type with his buddy filming and I could see the people behind and around the woman being filmed on his screen.

Not very cool to do that, if you do, at least try and hide it?

i see it about 50% of the time now. Idiots. Generation selfie all that way.

it used to be, if you wanted a pumped selfie, you scurried into the lockable stall, snapped on silent, and got out of there. This shit with selfies in bath towels while dudes are next to you washing hands... that's a punchable offense.

Welcome to today's world. There is no such thing as anonymity or privacy any more.

It's getting out of control. That is crazy. People are becoming so self absorbed that they are not considering others around them.

I've been training for over 30 years... I would NEVER take a shower or get naked in a gym locker room, especially today with these selfie morons taking pics everywhere.

A Chick once told me that selfies are for girls anyway

Taking a selfie in a loaded lockerroom = a sociopath. Likely this person is a sociopath of some degree. Would love to see some actual studies and research on this phenomenon

Its a private organization. Freedom of speech/expression is limited once you enter a private organization and have to abide by their rules.

If people don't like it, they can find another gym.

Exactly. Pinning that one on the U.S. makes zero fucking sense.

I did that once. How friggen' awkward. Only because there was not hot water at my place...

I arrive at the gym already in gym clothes, I don't even take off my shirt there.

Good point, but I was referring to the obsession to make selfies everywhere
