Ask Amy: Secret vaping leaves neighbors gaping
Some of the members of our exercise classes have stopped using the locker room just so they don't encounter this free spirit.
Is there a way to politely get her to cover up?
– Seen Too Much
Dear Seen Too Much: You could check with the management of your facility to see if they offer any guidelines or restrictions regarding nudity in the locker rooms (most likely, they do not).
If parents don’t want their children to be exposed to adult nudity (understandable), they should always use the family locker room.
You could try approaching this woman and asking, “Would you mind wearing a towel when children are here?” – but be prepared for her to refuse.
One issue all locker room users should be aware of is the possibility that anyone could be surreptitiously filmed while changing (or not changing).
Dear Amy: I worked in many county clerks' offices, and I would see these bubbling young couples come in to apply for their marriage license.
In my heart I wished them well, but I also wanted them to see how those feelings can be superficial, and really getting to know your partner on a deep level is tremendously important.
It should be a law that no marriage license is issued until the parties have spent at least six hours as observers in Divorce Court.

Dear Tom: I appreciate your innovative idea.
