    Okay semi unrelated question, but do mens gym showers usually smell like poop?

    Because I recently got a fancy gym membership through my employer that allows me to go to basically any gym in the area, and so far the shower in the mixed gender sauna areas has always smelled like poop, while the showers in the woman’s sauna and changing room haven’t.
    Might just be a weird coincidence, but it’s been like 5 different gyms of different chains and I’ve been really bothered by it

      Maybe it’s just terrible plumbing, that pushes shit below where those showers are.

      We had an issue at work where flushing in the men’s would cause the shit to pop up in the ladies toilet. There was a fair few arguments among the women over who was leaving floaters.

        That’s horrible but kinda hilarious too. Wondering how the hell they tracked that one down.

        “Well this one had bits of corn and bean in it but only Bob had that today for lunch and I’m positive I saw him bolting for the men’s room, so mayyybe…”
