Told cops where to go for over 29 years…

Curious as to thoughts on this..

Question:
For a communal jetted tub at a workout facility, who has “preference” in regards to the jets jetting or leaving the jets off and soaking when there is more than one user?

Choices:
Whomever is there first gets to decide, others should acquiesce to that decision
Anyone wants jets on, jets on
Anyone wants jets off, jets off
This is Sparta, let the strongest decide

 






What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

Can't help ya as I've never been in one. I'm not fond of soaking in other peoples' pee.

Can't say I would be interested in using a communal jacuzzi.

Lounging about in a Petri dish doesn’t sound like fun.

A warm, humid, Petri dish is not the community place I imagine myself "relaxing."

To answer the question though, if the condition of the Petri dish do not meet my satisfaction (jets on, jets off, too hot, not hot enough, etc.), I do not set my gym created stinky, sweaty, ass into it

Jets on is the only way.
If you are going to a reputable gym there is nothing less sanitary about the hot tub than any other piece of equipment in the place or any swimming pool for that matter.

I go to the YMCA and have been in the hot tub their thousands of times and numerous hotel/resorts with zero issue.

I always ask when the jets are off, typically I get a "please! just to lazy to get out and turn them on."

I prefer a hot spring over a hot tub, I also don't mind getting naked.

This is too weird for me. Sharing a jacuzzi with a stranger with the jets off is like slipping into a bathtub with a stranger. At least, with the jets going, there’s a proverbial reason.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

No thanks.

I have no interest in steeping in human soup with anyone other than my significant other and anywhere other than my own hot tub. (Not that I'd ever spend the money to own one, mind you.)

There's no way I'd climb into a communal hot tub at a hotel or gym with a bunch of strangers with unknown hygiene and in a hot tub with unknown cleanliness.

A public/semi-public jacuzzi tub would be better labeled a Petri dish. It is the perfect temperature for growing bacteria.

Since it wasn’t an option, I will add mine.
None of the above, people are filthy and I am not getting into water that others have been in before.

Agreed on all points.

Sharing with a stranger, period.

I see no point in climbing in a bacteria cesspool if the jets aren't even on. I'd just go take a flaming hot shower if that's the case. So I'm in the 5th option camp, which is ALWAYS ON.

Who ever get in first. People entering when someone is in there can ask.

Only ever saw one. It was past the shower room, and always on/also at a private boxing/strength athlete facility so hygiene standards were fairly rigorous.
