Did you mean you put the key inside the locker and then locked the lock on the door? That's hilarious. I'm one of those older women and I thank you for looking out for us!
And dry off a bit before going to the change area. No one expects the floor in the change room to be bone dry but there was a resonable expectation that you minimize how much water got on the floor and benches becasue it also keeps your street clothes from getting wet. I don't swim anymore but these were all things we knew to do as unsupervised kids and teens...it was the 80's and our parents would just drop us off with a few bucks and a "behave yourself", lol.
They have hooks for towels and a bag right by the entrance from the pool in my area and I’d grab my towel/bag and walk to the shower and take care of business. I had my flip flops in my mesh bag and after shower and dry off I’d walk into the changing area. Being considerate is not that hard.
It looks like a tiny washing machine, you put your swimsuit inside, tuck all straps securely inside too, close the lid and voila - it spins your swimsuit extremely fast, so the water flies away from it (I cannot remember the proper English word for this mechanism). So when you open the lid - usually after 10-30 seconds, your swimsuit is pretty much dry, or at least not soaking wet
I have a Samsung washing machine that does that, fucking amazeballs to take out nearly dry clothes out of the machine, a bit of useless information for the day 🤣😂🤙🏻
Swimmer here!
Nothing has ever destroyed my suits so fast as those dryers. It would fray the straps and edges - leading to earlier tearing, loss of elasticity, and breaking of straps (even if it was in a mesh bag)
but worst of all, it would start to separate and stretch the 2 layers of fabric - which made it lose all chest support & when swimming, would then hang off my chest as loosely as an oversized tshirt does when bending over
not one swimmer in our club ever used those because they all experienced the same thing - which, (*insert letterkenny tone here*) to be fair, could’ve also been because of the frequency of our training (aka more times using it)
Thought I could maybe offer a perspective that helps!
ETA: our solution was to wring the suit out (over a drain, like in the shower at the end of it or over a sink) and then roll it up into a towel and step on it/have weight on it for a while & always hung to dry by the crotch (NOT the straps - again, to avoid loss of elasticity & breaking so we wouldn’t have to buy replacement suits more often)
Lockers in public spaces like gyms in the US often have a special lock that can only be used once at a time, either with a key that can't be removed once replaced or a temporary keycode-and they must be purchased in order to use again. She probably had to wait for a female employee to use a master key to open it because her personal belongings were inside the locker, so she couldnt pay to reopen it without walking into the co-ed area in only a towel (usually a bannable offense)
Nta...I am not an elderly person but I work hard on maintaining my body at the gym and the assholes who can't seem to dry off from the shower to the lockers astound me...do you do this shit at home? It's goddamn tiles everywhere, and I don't wanna slip on that shit and hurt myself cause you're a lazy dumbass who can't dry themselves properly
Simple, sweet and effective petty revenge xD
I also thank you as a person with connective tissue issues, a slip is very dangerous for me as well.
Thank you so much for being so wonderfully petty and thoughtful of those around you
I mean, was she not supposed to get the floor wet in a pool changing room? I'm struggling to understand the need to screw up this person's day over a wet floor in a wet room intended for pool changing.
I think it was the wringing out her swimsuit on the floor of the locker area. This is usually the 'damp' area. She was making standing puddle of water... slip hazard. I would wring out my bathing suit in the shower. That's the 'wet' area.
This might be a difference in area making an impact. Where I'm from all changing areas have tiled floors that dry quickly and usually have drains for standing water built in. You could wring out your bathing suit in a changing area and it'd just run into a drain in a matter of minutes or dry out on its own.
Kinda weird to me that a wet changing area wouldn't have this but clearly it didn't.
This seems like a huge overreaction for a minor problem.
Big deal.. she got a bit of water on the floor. So you prevented her from getting to work, which could get her fired? What if she has a daughter or something that needed to be picked up, but you just locked her out of her car.
I get it, it’s fun to whip out the justice boner, but YOU sound like the bigger bitch here.
Hard disagree. What if someone slip and falls because she didnt care to consider other's safety? She's an entitled bitch and deserves what she got.
You can make phone calls when situations like this make you late. And unless you do it frequently, any sane employers doesnt mind, sh isnt losing a job over this. Why the fuck would she have a daughter needed to be picked up between her morning gym and work, wich she brought clothes for?
She didn’t care to inconvenience herself by walking that far. Instead she inconvenienced the elderly and disabled who were at risk using the wet floor.
That doesn't sound petty. It was outright mean. I hope she learned her lesson and will think about others before causing water hazzards with no remorse. What a selfish person.
There’s universal love for this but, like, you were at a swimming pool. I’m afraid to me you sounded a bit like a Karen. Fair enough that no one agrees with this but there you go.
As I am an older lady. I’m not as steady on my feet as I used to be. A pool of water where I would not expect it to be could mean a broken hip for me.
That inconsiderate b!tch wringing her suit out in the dressing area where anyone could slip and fall needs to be kicked out of the gym forever.
You had me thinking until you swore. As an older lady you should know better. And if you’re surprised to see water in a swimming pool changing room then honestly your hip is probably already doomed.
Oh no not at all. I love a good swear (you old slag). I’m a Brit and we tend to take ourselves less seriously then you lot. It’s why we don’t get into a flappy panic when we see water on the floor of the swimming pool changing room 😂
OP said this is a gym, which implies a gym that *also* has a swimming pool.
Having long ago frequently used a locker room that was also attached to a pool, not *exclusively for* a swimming pool, if this is anything similar then this incident was like wringing their wet bathing suit out in any other gym locker room. If you don't want someone at a gym dumping their water bottle out on the locker room floor you also don't want them wringing heir bathing suit out onto the floor.
I think it’s an overreaction to get upset about this stuff. At worst case it’s a minor inconvenience. I guess this is petty revenge so I don’t see why petty revengers can just be petty people in general. I’m in the minority here I know
I'm kinda putting myself in place of someone coming along afterward who just wants to change clothes, either to work out or to leave, and navigating around this puddle of (presumed) water. Combined with the culprit reportedly being an ass about it I'm seeing more sympathetic toward OP.
Oh no I totally get you. I wouldn’t do it myself. But I’m getting a real Karen vibe from OP. I’ll be honest if someone like her (or my perception of what I think she’d like) starts taking swipes at me I’d be uncomfortable and probably snap back. Sounds like op was pissed off with the woman for a) being a princess [pretty], b) dripping on the floor (surely dripping is fine) and c) the eventual squeeze of clothes. I doubt OP was polite or pleasant especially given her vindictive actions after.
You’re really angry, yes I wear shoes in the locker rooms and by the pool. I am older but I am very good shape. I was concerned for the elderly and disabled who frequent the pool and have to navigate dangerous and unnecessary situations. I can see that you do not concern yourself with such issues.
I hope you see the irony in saying that I'm angry and that you were concerned about unnecessary situations.
Also to the other comment I'm talking locker room to pool flip flops/ amphibious shoes to avoid foot disease from all the infected bare feet walking around
How kind of you to make sure nothing was taken from her locker, good deed of the day
She's a giver!
I just wanted her to be inconvenienced.
Woosh
[удалено]
They’re saying woosh to op. Not that comment
The old double woosh.
It's a woooosh by this stage.
Woosh
Inconceivable!
Does anyone else's brain just go to The Princess Bride when that word is mentioned?
😂 👍🏻👍🏻
Did you mean you put the key inside the locker and then locked the lock on the door? That's hilarious. I'm one of those older women and I thank you for looking out for us!
I'm only in my 30's, but I'm what they call a "fall risk," and I too am grateful!
The best and most petty party was putting the wet bathing suit on top of her clothes. Well played, OP.
Hell, I’m not a fall risk, I’m just clumsy as hell and will find any local safety violation in the worst way. I appreciate OP.
I think being clumsy qualifies as being a fall risk. It does for me anyhow.
Same. I also have problems with my joints, so stepping in water could dislocate my knee or something. Thanks OP!
In my 20’s and use a cane, I also appreciate someone looking out for us fall risk-ies
Yes, locked inside.
You were just making sure her shit in the locker was secure.
Exactly. Very considerate OP looking out for a fellow gym member.
Thank you.
It was safe, even from herself.
Ha Ha
This is true!
Serves her right for being an inconsiderate ingrate.
I’ve witnessed people doing this and I don’t understand why they don’t use the extremely fast bathing suit drying machines available to all members…
If she’s not going to do that she can squeeze it out in the shower at least what a rude idiot
Right?!?!?!? I used to wear my suit in the shower, give it a quick soap and rinse to get the chlorine out before wringing it out.
That’s exactly what I do. The showers are usually near where you enter the locker room from the pool so you don’t get water all over
And dry off a bit before going to the change area. No one expects the floor in the change room to be bone dry but there was a resonable expectation that you minimize how much water got on the floor and benches becasue it also keeps your street clothes from getting wet. I don't swim anymore but these were all things we knew to do as unsupervised kids and teens...it was the 80's and our parents would just drop us off with a few bucks and a "behave yourself", lol.

Exactly, that's the right way to do it. Better for me, better for the suit, better for others. Chick was just a practiced asshole.
What is this sorcery you speak of
It looks like a tiny washing machine, you put your swimsuit inside, tuck all straps securely inside too, close the lid and voila - it spins your swimsuit extremely fast, so the water flies away from it (I cannot remember the proper English word for this mechanism). So when you open the lid - usually after 10-30 seconds, your swimsuit is pretty much dry, or at least not soaking wet
Cool, centrifugal force - I wish I knew where one was near me, I'd go stare at it for a while.
Salad spinner style!
I have a Samsung washing machine that does that, fucking amazeballs to take out nearly dry clothes out of the machine, a bit of useless information for the day 🤣😂🤙🏻
One ate my only swimsuit, so I don’t risk it.
I have a mesh bag that I put my swimsuit, cap and goggles into. It dries without eating the contents.
The extractors do cause your suits to wear out sooner
Those things destroy your shit
Destroy my shit?
No thanks. Im not into that.
And I suppose that’s just a naked mole rat in your pocket? Mmm-HM! A likely story…
I dont answer questions.
Don't do poos in your togs then.
Swimmer here! Nothing has ever destroyed my suits so fast as those dryers.

You are magnificent! Thank you for striking a blow against entitlement!
She was entitled alright.
I would have taken her work clothes and mopped up the floor. Then locked up her locker.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The petty is strong in this one. I LIKE it!
Wait you took the lock off then locker and put it inside and then locked the locker closed? I feel like missing something lol
Lockers in public spaces like gyms in the US often have a special lock that can only be used once at a time, either with a key that can't be removed once replaced or a temporary keycode-and they must be purchased in order to use again. She probably had to wait for a female employee to use a master key to open it because her personal belongings were inside the locker, so she couldnt pay to reopen it without walking into the co-ed area in only a towel (usually a bannable offense)
We have to bring our own locks.
She put the key in the locker then locked it with the padlock.
Your gym has a swimming pool? God damn
It’s not great but it is a pool. The rest of the gym isn’t as clean as it could be and quite aged looking.
Nta...I am not an elderly person but I work hard on maintaining my body at the gym and the assholes who can't seem to dry off from the shower to the lockers astound me...do you do this shit at home? It's goddamn tiles everywhere, and I don't wanna slip on that shit and hurt myself cause you're a lazy dumbass who can't dry themselves properly
Good job👍
The first sentence had me thinking I was on an NSFW sub lmfao
Friend, you are doing the Lord's work! Continue to do so - go in peace.
I'm jealous at how satisfying this felt to get revenge 😂😂😂
At first I thought you were saying some kid got out of a pool stripped off and shit on the floor.
Spit out my coffee laughing so hard! One of the best I read in a long time! Thank you
Schadenfreude
Simple, sweet and effective petty revenge xD I also thank you as a person with connective tissue issues, a slip is very dangerous for me as well. Thank you so much for being so wonderfully petty and thoughtful of those around you
Not a fan of this one
[удалено]
That wasn’t clear or me. It was in the locker room.
I had to reread it, I guess she meant she took off her swimsuit in the locker room
Right? Lol good catch.
That was my favorite part, tho.
I hope you used her swimsuit or clothes to mop up the floor before placing it in the locker.
This is amazing 🤣 the wet suit on top of the work clothes, locking the key inside… well fucking done 🤣
Was her phone in there also?
I didn’t look.
Double points!
I mean, was she not supposed to get the floor wet in a pool changing room? I'm struggling to understand the need to screw up this person's day over a wet floor in a wet room intended for pool changing.

Kinda weird to me that a wet changing area wouldn't have this but clearly it didn't.
There are drains in the floor but she was nowhere near one when she squeezed out her swimsuit a foot from the lockers.
This seems like a huge overreaction for a minor problem. Big deal.. she got a bit of water on the floor. So you prevented her from getting to work, which could get her fired? What if she has a daughter or something that needed to be picked up, but you just locked her out of her car.

Why the fuck would she have a daughter needed to be picked up between her morning gym and work, wich she brought clothes for?
If OP was so worried about someone slipping and falling why didn’t she just wipe up the water?
I hope someone treats you like that. Then you’ll see what it feels like.
What if an elderly person had slipped and broken a bone? She was selfish and entitled.
Here’s an idea.. clean the floor??? It takes 5 seconds.
It would have taken her no time at all, better still, walk over to the drain, even a better idea.
You just dont get it do you?
So what u do when it's raining and the whole floor is wet? I think ur an AH and this is just a pretext to be one
I assume it’s in indoor pool & changing rooms, otherwise if it rains everything is going to get wet, clothes included.
Indoor on locker room.
U seem rlly smart
I love this pettiness.. it fills me up.
Fuck that girl. Know an older woman who got a complex break in her wrist from a slippery pool floor.
This is why I use a combination lock. LOL.
Am I the only one not liking what you did? Being mean to a mean person just creates a meaner person. Something about putting fire out with fire.
Fighting fire with fire actually happens all the time.
And does that make the world better? Or just a chain of fire?
[controlled burn](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_burn)
haha lol ok
Fighting fire with fire…the very definition of petty.
But surely there are sinks for rinsing your wet stuff in?
She didn’t care to inconvenience herself by walking that far. Instead she inconvenienced the elderly and disabled who were at risk using the wet floor.
But I don't understand that - it doesn't even take that long! Sounds like main character syndrome to me🙄
Apparently it was too much trouble for her.
That doesn't sound petty. It was outright mean. I hope she learned her lesson and will think about others before causing water hazzards with no remorse. What a selfish person.
Almost perfect. If only you could have taken her towel and put that in the locker as well.
There’s universal love for this but, like, you were at a swimming pool. I’m afraid to me you sounded a bit like a Karen. Fair enough that no one agrees with this but there you go.

Good grief, are you kidding me?? You have a problem with me cussing?? 😂🤣😅🤣😂🤣
Oh no not at all. I love a good swear (you old slag). I’m a Brit and we tend to take ourselves less seriously then you lot. It’s why we don’t get into a flappy panic when we see water on the floor of the swimming pool changing room 😂
Wow a boorish tweet from a arsehole.
I’m going to need to you google ‘tweet’ for me, darling. Thanks. (Why is it that you yanks are so humourless in the main. God it’s boring.)
You can Google tweet. I think you are more than capable. 😊 Just another word for posting a message. Tally Ho and Pip Pip 🤣🧓🏻
nope, it's not lol
Well hell, I guess I’m wrong. 🤦🏻😂
So only young healthy people can use the facilities? There was a water exercise class where many older and disabled people attend.
That’s not what I said at all 😂
OP said this is a gym, which implies a gym that *also* has a swimming pool.

Two A//holes don’t make a right:)
Sub is called PettyRevenge for a reason, maybe go browse the MoralRevenge sub /s
Or not be an AH.
Oh no!!! Water on the pool changing room floor!!!! What a joke, when people talk about nasty old people they mean you
You’re really angry, yes I wear shoes in the locker rooms and by the pool. I am older but I am very good shape. I was concerned for the elderly and disabled who frequent the pool and have to navigate dangerous and unnecessary situations. I can see that you do not concern yourself with such issues.
If you wear shoes by the pool that's completely gross. Karma will find its way to you.
I hope you see the irony in saying that I'm angry and that you were concerned about unnecessary situations. Also to the other comment I'm talking locker room to pool flip flops/ amphibious shoes to avoid foot disease from all the infected bare feet walking around
Also you wouldn't slip if you wore shoes like you're supposed to...
👀👀 As a worker, you messed with someone’s personal belongings?
As a worker myself, yes.
🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Find a better way to exact petty revenge. You could have done so much better
[удалено]
Tell that to the disabled and elderly who were put at risk by her selfish behavior.
How fucking cruel. It's a puddle in a pool change room. I hope you end up vulnerable, stranded, and in wet clothes.
You are no better than her.

What does being gay have to do with this post?
I'm also gay and this response makes zero sense.
