This Tale Of A Naked Woman Lost In A German Sauna Is “A Palate Cleanser” During Stressful Times
Many of us feel stuck in a sense of impending corona doom where the unknown is just making matters worse. But luckily, there’s one volunteer who has stepped in to provide a unique public service.
And that’s a well-needed shot of laughter from a woman named Anbara Salam. The British-Arab writer shared an episode from the most embarrassing moment of her life with a few unlikely variables—a German sauna, a lobster, a fire escape, and the naked protagonist herself.
158K likes later, Salam’s Twitter post is viral. It now serves as an unprecedented “palate cleanser” to remove that stressful residue left by yet another hard-to-swallow batch of corona news. But a funny story is a gift that keeps on giving, so let’s share some gems in the comments below!

What kind of total douche would make someone walk naked through a public place. For Christ's sake. She writes really humorously, but that is so traumatizing and humiliating. Give her your jacket or something, dude. I'm glad she's able to be funny about it. I would have had a complete mental breakdown.

From my experience, German people really don't give a s**t about modesty. Actually, it seems like it's par for the course in most of mainland Europe and Scandinavia. There's probably some "No Public Nudity" laws for the majority of places, but I was using shared bathrooms in France more than 20 years ago, going swimming in Germany where bathing suits/bikinis were optional (and no, I wasn't at a nudist resort, it was a typical outdoor pool), and I've been told Swedish people let it all out in the saunas, just like this woman had to, albeit she was in Germany. Most likely, the frustration from the staff was due to having to rescue a tourist who should have asked for directions, and the looks from those in the queue were probably of confusion as to why she was naked BEFORE going in, instead of undressing inside. The German people I met were no-nonsense, logical, and very smart. In fact, if it wasn't for their cuisine disagreeing with me, I'd be living there right now.

I am extremely confused why the man didn't give her anything to cover herself with and made her walk naked to the reception. He could have gone there himself and brought back someone who could help her. Did he just want to watch her suffer?

And not one person the whole time had a coat or sweater they could offer her? What a hostile place.
