Camel Toe Etiquette?

First off, I've been lax in my postings. My little boy has been having some issues of late and I wasn't in the mood to write. Hopefully you'll all come back and read again!

Secondly, what the eff, people at the gym?! I enjoy rowing on the "Indo Row" machine. I hadn't done it in a while thanks to my son's RSV (or "RSVP" as I'm apt to say). Anyhow, I struggled in class, wanted to go back on my own and work a kink out in my shoulder when I heard a voice behind me. "I've always wondered how these things work". I turn around and there it is, pretty much in my face: the dreaded "camel toe".

I wish I could post a picture of the machine. If you're too lazy to google it, I'll give you a general description. The rower sits on a seat that goes back and forth on a rail. You pull the handlebars like an oar and you row. Easy-peasy. As the rower, I'm sitting about 4 inches off the floor. Given my height, it makes my head be about crotch-level when someone stands next to me. In this case, a woman who'd (judging by her sweat-soaked clothing) put in a good workout and decided to stop by Studio 2.

Her camel toe was not a baby camel, it was a full-grown adult camel. I quickly looked away. Sputtering about how easy a workout it was. She just stood next to me, sweaty camel toe next to my right ear. She wanted to know what all the numbers meant, how I adjusted the tension in the handlebars, all legit questions. I kept my head turned away. How could she be so oblivious to the fact that her crotch was eating her shorts??

This begs the question: is there camel toe etiquette? You see a camel toe, do you say something? While I know I would be mortified if someone mentioned I was rocking a cleaved-hoof look, I think I would be a little relieved that I could fix the problem. At the same time, it's not my biz and that is one extremely personal problem.

I didn't say anything. She left, promising to come back for the next class. I washed my eyeballs out with hand sanitizer. No one should be subjected to such close proximity with camel toe. I feel like I lost a touch of innocence today.
