The Curtains match the tiles

I snapped this photo because the navy blue curtain is now the same beige as the tiles. But when I returned home and looked at it, I noticed the beige stripe going up the wall on the right. Apparently the mold is not picky: tile or polyester curtain. It knows both places are safe from bleach, scrub brushes, disinfectant, or even the gaze the management's eyes.

shower curtains

The gym on 8th ave and 16th street has replaced all their shower curtains with clear plastic that goes to the floor and then fabric that layers next to it and only goes to your knees.
The result? An awful lot of moisture trapped between those layers and offering bacteria a lovely warm home.
Since they blew their budget on new curtains, they have not been able to invest in proper training for the cleaning staff and now I present the resulting bacteria colonies.

Clogged Arteries

I was showering today at the gym and the drain started to back up.
I pulled the drain up and there was a glob of something (hair, semen, soap, and poop?) a full six inches long hanging from the drain.

Then inside the drain pipe I could see that the circumference of the pipe had about 1/4" to 1/2"of the same grey-brown substance lining it. Like an artery clogged with cholesterol, the pipe was completely entrenched in this vile goop.

I immediately dropped the drain cover to the tile floor and went for my camera. When i leaned over to snap these photos the smell was overwhelming. I cannot quite describe it but I thought I was going to throw up. (i blame that nausea for the blurry picture.)

Poop on the Soap?

I cannot be sure if this is feces or bacteria or mud but I didn't snap this photo until the second day!
I saw it one day, I didn't have my phone with me. When I came back the next day it was still smeared all over the soap dispenser.
I would not have wanted to clean it either but THAT IS YOUR JOB! You are given money in exchange for cleaning the gym. If house keeping is not going to do their job, can my membership dues be lowered?

condom on shower floor

The dirtiest filthiest find ever!
A condom on the shower floor. I can't think of anything to say other than EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

16th street wins again

Again, 16th street is a real winner! I couldn't make this shit up if i tried. The soap dispenser had moldy scum ON THE NOZZLE!
Same shower stall had the mold growing along the side of the dispenser.

Cockroachs? figures.

Am i surprised to see roaches in the showers? No.
Was i surprised to see the same roach the next day? (or at least a roach in the same shower.) Again, not really. Its not as if anyone actually cleans the showers every night.
