OK, help me out here.
There's this old dude in our gym who picks the scabs on his feet. I'm not talking about blistered feet here, because obviously, he's not athletic enough to earn himself blisters. I'm talking about GROSS open, festering sores.
Here's what he does every fucking time. He sits on the wooden bench, raises one foot, picks on the scabs, flicks the scabs on the floor, then pours alcohol all over his festering sores. Then, he moves on to the next foot.
It's so disturbing to see him do it in such a public place as the men's locker room. He's old, like late forties old. As much as I would like to treat the elderly with respect, I feel offended by his total disregard for other people's hygiene.
My question is this: Is it rude to confront him and make him stop? I'm really tempted to issue a cease and desist order, along the lines of "Hi, excuse me, but do you mind NOT doing that here? You're spreading the contagion that has infected your leper feet. Please stop leaving the rotten pieces of yourself all over the place."
I really feel like I'm on the right side here, but I don't want to come out like the bad guy. He's really gross. What should I do?
