Not that different from some other rants... but it peeved me today. I watched a geriatric guy, complete with diaper rash, get into his suit, and go into the pool without showering. I don't really begrudge him the entire lane he took up -- I may make it to that age some day. But I couldn't get the increased bacteria count in the pool out of my head. And then when he was done (just shorter than my workout) he went into the shower and THEN he spends 20 minutes cleaning himself carefully!
Right now I'm writing up a living/dying will that instructs everyone I know to just shoot me if I do that when I'm in my dotage (just kidding - but wish I could).
