A moral dilema...

Personally I would just not give more than one word answers and let conversation just die out...

But i'm a chicken too with all this stuff :p
 
I can understand him not wanting to boldly say shut up. He encounters him enough for it to be awkward if the other guy takes offence. That said, it's probably the way I would go still.

Water proof headphones is a good idea, but failing that any headphones will do. They might get ruined but you can pick them up from the pound shop. They don't even need to be plugged into anything!
 
This thread shows why the British aren't seen as a friendly bunch :D

I'm betting most wouldn't actually tell someone to **** off either, nor is there any need to go on like that.

Just tell the manager you found him masturbating in the sauna.
 
Well seen as how the sauna probably doesn't have a letterbox, you'll have to resort to pooing in the stove.

Sitting there with blatantly unplugged earphones in a sauna whilst pretending not to hear someone talking would probably enhance the chances of being left alone.

So time to turn to GD for general guidance on the following. Before I start, no I will not follow MIG home so I can poop through his letterbox, or anywhere else.

I like to swim, generally I swim before work everyday anything from 1k to 2k depending on time (sometimes I just hit snooze more than once) So part of the treat of going for a swim in the morning is the steam room, Sauna etc is pretty quiet and a nice place to relax and plan the day in my head for work etc.

Apart from one Mad Indian Guy (MIG from here on in) all MIG wants to do is talk, talk with a very strong accent which takes even more concentration to understand, talk and talk and talk all I want to do is sit in the glorious heat of the sauna and wallow in my thoughts of winning the lottery and how to spend 35million or not think about the MILF in the jacuzzi.

So how would you deal with MIG, Ignoring him doesn't work he just rabbits on about something or other, Give a response and kiss your 15 mins of peace goodbye. I have taken to being a complete coward and pretend to be asleep and maybe give a slight mumble.

However his rants about not being to be able to go on holiday to Europe any more is quite funny as everyone thinks he is a terrorist, so his wife only wants to go to Scotland as it less hassle. That and he is 100% in favour of Brexit as he quite really xenophobic when it comes to the Polish, Romanian / eastern block countries.

I would start with a polite but firm "sorry, but I really just come to the sauna so I can relax and close my eyes. It's nothing personal but I really just like to sit quietly after my swim". But try to be as friendly and polite about it as possible. It's the British thing to do. He almost certainly is just being friendly or views the sauna as a social place where people go to be sociable. He probably thinks that's why people go there.
 
You have a few options

option 1: karate chop him so hard he is laid out in one swift motion

option 2: Sing at the top of your lungs until he stops

option 3: get there first and put a big out of order sign on the door

option 4: let off a stink bomb in the sauna

option 5: scream rape at the top of your lungs

option 6: take him out for a meal and explain your true feelings

option 7: stop being soft and ask him to be quiet
 
I have had this problem before, I have a cheap set of in-ears with marsh mellow foam on the ends so they just cancel out most noise even without being plugged in. Close your eyes, job done.

Tempted to get a set of waterproof bluetooths so I can listen to audio books, would just leave my phone wrapped in my towel next to the pool.
