I am posting this question on behalf of my wife as she doesn't really do social media.
A few days ago, she was at the gym and after finishing her workout, she was in the process of changing her cloth when another lady got out of the shower without a towel, leaving a bunch of water on the floor. As that lady was drying herself off and putting on her cloth, a third lady mentioned to her that she should grab a mop from the corner and clean up her mess to which the lady responded that is not my job. She finished getting dressed and left. My wife told me this story and asked me who I thought was right. I honestly never thought about such a thing and have no idea what I would have done. Any thoughts if that happens to you?
The woman who left the shower and let the water get all over the floor just created a slipping hazard for all of the other locker room users. What a slob! She should have to mop it up.
That's no different than using a machine to workout and leaving a giant puddle of sweat on the seat. Bad etiquette for sure. She didn't necessarily have to go grab a mop but if she had a towel there is no reason she couldn't have toweled off IN THE SHOWER or, hey, if you leave a puddle just throw your towel on the ground and clean it up.

I've been in many gyms, but I have never see a mop available for people to mop the locker-room floor if they leave puddles of water on the floor. I workout at a YMCA and there is no expectation of a dry locker-room floor. There is a swim team and young children that use this locker-room. People typically don't take a towel into the pool area, so it means they have to go back to their locker to get their towel. You just deal with it.
Her response comes from arrogance. Picking up a piece of trash or drying the floor that you messed up is just being respectful to your fellow human being. Karma is a b____

I asked my wife that question since she travels alot for her job and she said that she seen a mop being available at the gym for members use at few gyms. She always sees broom/dustpan being available in the locker room

My experience is similar to yours. I've never seen anyone mop up their tracks when leaving the shower or a pool area.
I used to do a water boot camp and took a towel to the pool with me. Regardless, I was dripping water, from my shoes if from nowhere else when I entered the locker room. After I got to my locker I’d put on my flip flops for the shower and take the towel and drag it with my foot across where I’d left water on the floor. Seemed like common courtesy and a way to avoid a fall.
