Some stories are so bizarre I can’t help but share them. I should give a shout out to NPR podcast, Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, which brought this to my attention.
Apparently some men in swimming pool locker rooms in Iceland are taking advantage of the facilities, using communal hairdryers on their nether regions. To address this problem, one Icelandic pool has created a sign titled, “This is not a ball sack dryer”, the note continues saying, “Don‘t dry your ball sack or your butt with the communal hairdryer in the swimming pool or the gym… Bald older gentlemen with hairy torsos must either bring their own blow-dryers or just buy a more absorbent towel.”
They’ve even created a poster, showing an elderly man hair drying himself inappropriately, but have covered the problem area with a large red X.

I dried my feet once with a gym dryer and got heck for it by two older guys. I told them I didn’t know the showers were coed. I don’t see anything wrong with drying your squala after a shower, as long as you maintain a safe distance. You aren’t performng a colonoscopy.

This is hardly unique to Iceland. It happens in the good old USA too.
