I got *lots* of calls from the San Diego area of late, so I might have to plan a little trip out there to 'deal with' the situation :sneaky:

Our local Wallymart is in a fairly upmarket area and I've figured out that if I park at the far end of the carpark I can at least settle for the consolation prize if I don't see any 'people of Walmart'. The local gym usually has some fit underdressed ladies making their way to and fro... :nod:

If you join the gym, you get to see them with a valid reason for being there. Not that that's why I joined one, of course, but it is an added bonus.

Yeah, I tried that but started to get funny looks whilst I was sitting on the benches for an hour ogling. What's wrong with people, I paid my dues and wasn't taking up valuable machine space??? :rofl:

Did you forget to disable the flash on your camera phone? ;)

I'm obviously not a perv..... but used to choose machines at the back of the room so I could observe the landscape, not be part of the landscape.

That being said, my gym used to have movies you could watch on the gym kit (or an iphone/ipad dock), so I'd usually be watching something to take my mind of the fact I was doing exercise. Then go to the pool.

I was impressed to find the gym I'm paying for as part of rent has cable TV on the machines.

One day I may actually visit. :rofl:

There was a guy with a camera at our local pool taking pics and nobody was concerned when I raised it with staff.

I was merely expanding on your narrative ;)

(TL;DR: Yes)



In my teens, one of my many jobs I had involved working at an indoor pool complex and there was a viewing area with signs *everywhere* saying no pics. If someone wanted to take legit photos, alot of paperwork was involved. Then the happy camper got to wear a sticker on his/her chest saying 'PHOTO APPROVED'.

Despite all that, most people just took photos with little to no issue. Was all a huge legal thing.

But I do have a swimming peeve with the old people that insist on hogging the toddler pool.

It's because it's the only one you are allowed to pee in.
