The Wall

I'm having an atrocious day, so I thought I'd cheer myself up by sharing what is probably my favorite, and most disturbing, Snap Fitness story.

It was my first Saturday, and I had already taught my cardio class and I was fairly tired. I didn't get a chance to have any coffee, so I was running a little slower than normal. I started my shift as usual, plugging in the phone, starting the laundry, and gathering cleaning supplies so I could tackle the bathrooms. I clean the first two bathrooms without anything unusual happening. Could anything really out of the ordinary happen when you're cleaning a bathroom? I didn't think so. At first...Then I made my way into the third bathroom and everything was going fine until I pulled back the shower curtain and saw some weird substance on the wall. I get a little closer to inspect it and...yep....just as I had suspected....semen. Awesome...Now I'm fully awake. What happened next is kind of a blur because I was so grossed out. I may have gagged and/or dry heaved, I'm not sure. By the time I got my wits about me I instinctively ran to the phone to call my boss. This was the exchange:

Boss: Hi Laura. How are you?
Me: (still in shock) Not so good.
Boss: Why not?
Me: (hesitating) Well....I found some....stuff......on the wall of the shower.
Boss: What kind of stuff?
Me: Man.....stuff......
Boss: Man stuff?
Me: Semen. OK? Semen....
Boss: How did it get there?
Me: I think we both know how it got there.
Boss: Did you see who did it?
Me: No?
Boss: I was hoping you knew so I could terminate their membership.
Me: No clue. Yeah, by the way, I'm not cleaning that up.
Boss: Well you can't just leave it on the wall.
Me: I don't get paid enough. No way. Have Jason or Matt do it when they come in...There's no way.
Boss: It can't be left there.
Me: But......it's......nasty.
Boss: I understand, but it needs to get cleaned up.
Me: (begrudgingly) Fine...

I put on two more pairs of gloves and went into the bathroom. I was gagging the entire time I was cleaning and I was thinking to myself "Who the HELL does this????" What you do in the shower is not my business, but when you leave the evidence behind, it becomes my business and that doesn't make me happy.

In conclusion, men, if you decide you can't wait until you get home for whatever reason, please don't leave it on the wall. Women will thank you.
