Title: Sauna Etiquette
Post by: Miss Demeanour on January 24, 2010, 07:54:48 PM
I went for a lovely swim this afternoon and then for a nice relaxing sauna afterwards - or at least that was the intention  evil:

When sharing a sauna with strangers do you :-

(a) keep quiet and let everyone around you relax
(b) come in and move a copy of a newspaper that someone has left and then go on about the fire risk of such things being left in a sauna  Banghead
(c) then start asking questions from everyone else in there about where they have lived before, what do they do for a living etc etc etc.  Banghead
(d) then keep moving from the top to lower shelf not making your mind up about where you want to be  Banghead


I nearly killed her  evil:

I thought saunas were like Turkish baths where people of the same gender 'meet'.

I expect she was advertising.

Oh no - this was a mixed one and she was most definitely trying to attract the attention of some young bloke in there who absolutely refused to engage in the conversation ...so she kept asking more questions  Banghead

No conversations in Saunas unless you are with people you know. As for Turkish baths ~ no conversations other than "OUCH!" "OW!" and "No more thank you" with the staff or business chat with those you have gone there with. If you go alone it is best to keep quiet and leave alone.

An old one, but nevertheless, topical.

Three women, two younger, and one senior citizen, were sitting naked in a sauna.

Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The young woman pressed her forearm and the beep stopped. The others looked at her questioningly. 'That was my pager,' she said. I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.

A few minutes later, a phone rang. The second young woman lifted her palm to her ear. When she finished, she explained, 'That was my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand.'

The older woman felt very low -tech. Not to be out done, she decided she had to do something just as impressive. She stepped out of the sauna and went to the bathroom. She returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from her rear end.

The others raised their eyebrows and stared at her. The older woman finally said.........well, will you look at that....

...I'm getting a fax!!
