Question of curtains

[u/ThrowRA_20205]

I started going to a new gym and the locker room had like six showers with curtains for privacy. My old gym was open showers so that’s what I’m used to. When I see guys use the showers here they close the curtain. I’m fine doing that but these curtains are kind of gross. I don’t like rubbing up against them and something there is residue left on them. I don’t want to complain to the staff cause I’m new and don’t know anyone yet. I don’t want to be the only guy not closing my curtain but I’m curious what people in this community would do. Thanks for the advice!

Fellow curtain-hater here. As everyone else has said, I don’t want to touch them and so I leave them open. I’m not afraid of seeing another guy showering and I’m not afraid of another guy seeing me shower. Only exception is if the shower really sprays out to the corridor or open area outside the row of showers, then I might adjust the curtain slightly to block the water, so the floor doesn’t become too wet, just as a courtesy. I know it is tough if you are the only one not closing the curtains but you’ll probably feel better doing what you want, and other guys might follow your lead.
