Its not just me who gets a pain in their hole opening what looks like an empty locker in an already busy locker room to find gear in there, fellow gym goers regularly moan about it. PM me your address and I will post u out a lock if u like hun x

Because when I cycle to the gym (which is often) I use two lockers [I lock 'em both].. One my sweaty cycle gear goes into and the other is for my dry gym gear and bag

This way they get a fright with minimum actual negative consequences so they’ll lock their locker in future. Some would call being sound to someone who’s being a dick to you being a sap. I mean it totally is petty, and I’m too much of a wuss afraid of consequences/prone to guilt to do it myself, but I respect the guy actually doing something that might help the situation effectively.

Not putting a lock on your locker is such a minor, microscopic inconvenience to others. It delays you, what, at most 20 - 30 seconds? Your time is not that precious. You're going to the gym, not performing a time-sensitive surgery. People need to relax. Too many things seem to annoy people here! This thread should really be only for big issues that need to be addressed that impact gym users' performance and enjoyment of their gym. Like oversized bottles, or wearing hats indoors.

Giovanni Alive Raincoat wrote: » Well I don't really care if you're angry or not. I use both because its easier than stuffing everything into one locker. Hope that answers all your questions (too many, so little time). Oh, if I go for just a swim I only use one locker, I'm good like that
Mellor wrote: » "What people wear in the gym" is a topic that cones up a lot here. Genuinely I couldn't care less, but I get that hats, hoodies, compressions, shoes, no-shoes and sports bras annoy others. Today I seen a new one for the list. More of a WTF than an annoyance. Guy opposite me in the rack, squatting, while wearing 6" heels. At one point he seen me looking and I just burst out laughing. He was also recording it on his phone
