The changing rooms of the gymnasiums (which fortunately also open for Reis) invite an interesting sociological study. Because few things say as much about a person as their relationship with the shower. More now, being as we are sipping in this lagoon for exactly 1,109 days without a good rain. There are those - they are the most numerous and until now they were understood as normal - take a shower after exercising. It is logical. It is assumed that you have sweated and that a shower (of five minutes and little soap, as until recently suggested by the WHO and defended en masse by the scientific community) restores body and spirit.
But there is also a sample of rare people who go to the gym just to shower and others who prefer to do it first, to shower before soaking their shirt. Pushed many times by the idea that this way the energy circulates better and that the benefits of the practice, no matter what they have done, will be accentuated, they are previously submitted to the soap and the therapeutic ray. Almost always at home. Then there are those who also shower in their own bathroom, on the way back, already sweaty and exercised, and a penultimate and growing group of questionable characters who don't shower! Not at the gym or at home. They claim that too much showering can't be good. That everything flows with one or less a week. That hair can go up to a month without soap and shine more by skipping the chlorine in the water. These characters, which are better not to have too close, are in luck. Trendy. The new rules that we will all have to assume unless it really rains and what is needed are their best alibi. It's the no bathing. Lack of hygiene? No, health and ecology! And face the drought!
At the other end, those who will have it worse are those who form the last and worrying sample of the poor who don't understand that in the shower at the gym you only do that, you shower. And he may also whistle or grab you to sing. But you don't shave there. You don't even dye yourself. You don't even cut your nails or bangs. Nor other muddled things. Oh, and the dryer is only for hair. The rest is wiped off by itself or with the towel. And with the towel, unless it's the one you left at the gym, don't wet yourself or clean your shoes.
