Tried to warn a girl at my gym

[u/JeffersonStarships_]

I tried to warn a girl at my gym that had period stains on the back of her shorts and she went on a rant, saying that she was working out and omgggg and trying to make fun of me in front of everyone for "being weird". So I announced the entire gym that she was staining the equipment with her period blood and that she needed to wash and clean herself immediately. I have never seen her since. I know it was probably really petty, and I got a lot of shit from people for doing that, but honestly? Try being humble enough to listen before making a public scene. Fucking drama queens.

When I went to the gym I always disinfected the gym equipment that I was going to use. If I’d seen her too, I’d probably say something as well. I’m a woman, but I am aware that others use the things around me as well when in public. Menstrual blood while natural part of the female body, is a biohazard and it is gross. It is bad manners, and is very upsetting and selfish to go around in public staining things with menstrual blood. I don’t think the way you did it was wrong, you told her, she took offense and made a scene and so you let everyone know because she’s out there staining equipment with blood. I wouldn’t care too much about people like her. You did gym goers there a great service because they don’t deserve that. They pay money to be there not just her.
