When you pay a lot of money for a membership, you want to feel you can fully enjoy it, but pricing and value don’t always align.

See why this gym member got dirty looks.

AITA for showering too long at the gym?

I go to a really small but expensive gym, about $130 a month.

It’s a rural town and there aren’t many other options.

The building has 5 single stall bathrooms with a shower in each.

There are even more downsides.

There are no options for a just toilet or just shower room which makes it difficult when you need to use the bathroom in a pinch.

I recently lost access to water in my house and decided to use the shower at the gym after my workout.

I took my time, I did an everything shower (for the girls that get it) and just enjoyed the luxury water pressure for maybe 20-25 mins.

Now she resents the resentment that followed.

During that time the door was loudly and aggressively knocked on at least 5 different occasions.

I didn’t say anything to the knocks but felt annoyed for feeling rushed when I pay so much money just to go to this gym.

On my way out someone was standing by the door with there arms crossed and a sour look on their face.

I didn’t say anything because I hate conflict but was I a jerk for taking my time with my shower?

Here is what folks are saying.

True. But if 25 minutes throws everything that off, maybe the amenities are not sufficient.

I couldn’t take my time with that pressure.

I wouldn’t do it, but only 5 showers with such a high fee is wild.

I agree. People blame the most convenient person instead of holding companies accountable.

Indeed. People are acting like there is only one shower.

It’s going to be awkward going here now.
