basic's First Blog Post

Ok, so Minsun has been getting on me about making a post and threatening to take away my "contributor" status. I've never really written a blog so I'll rant about something I talked about with Minsun. Men's locker rooms. Here goes nothing.

The first problem I have is the stench in our locker rooms. With the steam room nearby and the showers running it smells, literally, like a steaming plate of ass. What's worse is that it's like a Pho restaurant and I can still smell it on me after I leave the gym. Why can't men's locker rooms have things like flowers and potpourri to make it smell nice? I know women have it. I've had to go to your bathrooms before. When I was still working at Micro Center I had to go in the female bathroom to grab some paper towels and noticed a nice basket of flower petals and potpourri. Naturally, I got jealous because our bathrooms didn't even have the drop-in thing in the urinals. So I snatched that joint and put it in our bathroom. The next day I worked I checked our bathroom and saw that they had removed it and put it back in the female bathroom. I was pretty mad and wanted to write a complaint to HR for borderline sexism. I consider myself a manly guy but I'd appreciate some potpourri or even a frigging fake plant to make my time there more athestically pleasing.

My second biggest problem is old Korean men. Most are fine. I'm talking about the ones with slicked back hair, gold chains, and are buck naked their entire time in the locker room. These are the guys that like to go up to the sinks, prop one leg up and then use the, gym provided, blow driers to dry their pubes. Seriously? It has to be a narcissitic thing. A lot of the ones I see blow dry themselves while strumming their junk and make stupid "Blue Steel" faces in the mirror. Hate to break it to you but you ain't that big. I saw it again yesterday. I guess propping up the leg makes some kind of sense since there is more surface area exposed to the drier and helps the moisture dissipate quicker....I find that towel + air drying to be just as effective and environmentally friendly. Save a tree....please!

I find it hilarious that you took the potpourri from the girls' bathroom to put in the boys' room. What's even funnier is that someone put it back and you were angry. Hahahahah. Maybe people think guys don't care about smell since they already smell badly. You should leave a can of Axe in the locker room. Hopefully it'll start a trend.
