Yesterday, I shared a hot tub with a woman who was sitting on her partner's lap.  Now if I was in Cancun or Jamaica, I probably wouldn't even bat an eye at this.  Hot tubs are romantic, I get it.  But I also think there is a proper place/time for hot tub shenanigans.  And really, I don't know that Lifetime fitness over the lunch hour-or any hour for that matter is the answer.

This isn't the first time I've seen an amorous couple in the waters of the gym. I've seen couples nuzzling/kissing in the hot tub and even a few making out in the zero entry kiddie pool while I was trying to do pool therapy with an autistic child.  I've heard stories from other staff about what goes on late into the night in the hot tub-I think you can guess what I mean.  

Something about the water just makes people more romantic.  I've never seen any couples making out in front of the weight machines-or sharing a stepper.  I doubt that the kissing offender would consider sitting on her lover's lap while he was on the stationary bike.  

So when I saw the couple cuddling in the hot tub next to me-and who really knows what was going on under all those bubbles I wasn't sure how to react. The preferred option from the geriatric set was to avert eye contact.   I tried to stink eye for a bit-but they were too busy gazing into each other's eyes to notice.  I thought about getting a little too close-or staring in a lewd type of way-but figured they wouldn't notice that either.  I wished there was some type of no make-out lifeguard enforcer around.  

I thought about more passive aggressive ways to get back at the PDA couple. For instance, I could pee in the pool.  It's not really fair to the other pool goers-but if it were just me and the couple....What about you?  What would you do in this situation?
