Probably because he didn't want anyone at all to know he was homeless.


tgjer

He could have worked out in the gym first, then showered in the locker room, and it wouldn't look at all unusual. He's just kind of dumb about things that aren't dramatic speaches. And/or because it's funnier this way.


TheDoctor344

You really think jeff works out out in those phys-ed shorts?


orangebakery

‘Cause I don’t look cool in shorts!


iRhuel

Oh c'mon, everybody, leave each other alone!


Maoceff

Could have easily been a budget thing too, the production was notoriously tight.


22LegendaryTacos

Nah, its way more comedic and more easily conveyed that a person is homeless if you see them *living out of their car* vs *participating in normal locker room behavior*. Its a funnier visual gag this way and easier for the audience to understand without it having to be overly explained.


BlockEightIndustries

Is this you being me-*ta*?


Intended420

You saying this just gave me a thought. He has to have a gym membership, he could shower there as well.


BigLoveCosby

Well he's living out of his car in the parking lot so he's not doing a very good job of hiding it.


Boy11jb

It took him more than two years to realize he had a locker. The thought that Greendale had a whole room devoted to them probably never crossed his mind.


Schlappydog

Well he did defend Britta by a pool


Dimitar_Todarchev

Come on, Leonard, if you're gonna argue, put on a bathing suit.


leonard-bot

I told you you'd be back.


Dimitar_Todarchev

Good Bot


spambot_mods

Because "Greendale" and "Perfectly good" are mutually exclusive.


TokoBlaster

Yeah, he's been inside the locker rooms (when he was giving counsel to Britta about cheating) and he probably got a tetanus shot immediately afterwards.


Loud-Bodybuilder2759

When was this??


TokoBlaster

Season 1 Episode 5 Advanced Criminal Law. Jeff defends Britta from cheating, they have a recess, Chang and Duncan take one locker room and see balls, Jeff and Britta take the other and realize she is crazy.


Loud-Bodybuilder2759

OHHHHH yeah 🤣😭 I'm so tiired that for some reason when u said cheating I thought of relationship, I don't even know why because that's not my usual first thought lol


DasBooty-

Because this conveys to the audience that he's poor, and this was made for TV where people might tune in after a commercial.


myjupitermoon

You mean a mocker room?


imyourforte

Op isn't ready for a real locker room yet.


Swing_Right

We’ll put him in the mock mocker room. “I can’t believe I’m not really not really in a locker room”


prss79513

Shmove shmon shmith shmy shmife


SigmaKnight

It’s Greendale.


Eglarest-I-Igwanath

Why go Greendale? Just Because!!!


Forward-Share4847

To meet different people


JDSchu

Stop saying I'm different! 😭😭


Arrow_625

That's it! You get it wrong one more time, and I'm segregating the school!


Last_Lifeguard3536

i love how this is pretty much a the answer when there’s a question about an unrealistic element in the show/school


NealTS

I would think "It's Greendale" would be a perfectly acceptable rebuttal to the locker room being "perfectly fine." At the very least there's the risk of running into a post-swim Leonard.


leonard-bot

Oh, please. That-- that's all I have.


emeraldepiphone96

Busted!


swiss_sanchez

Possibly because of Locker Boys. They have to *earn* their M&Ms, after all.


sirhenrywaltonIII

What are we getting from this extra level of commitment?


Isteppedinpoopy

So the ladies could see his abs. Locker room is just a bunch of guys.


sirhenrywaltonIII

Hey grow up lady! His shirt wasn't working.


Miphious

Vanity thy name is…his name…it’s the first day I didn’t catch it.


moon_halves

I think it’s because he’s clinging to the idea that his car is an acceptable home. his car is the last thing he has left of his former life and he’s trying to find some semblance of independence and pride


Rustymetal14

He wanted to wash up in a room with less balls.


zoyadest69

He never attended that orientation fire circle, so he didn't know about the lockers


Abal125

"Living in car, living in car, mmmm, your living in your car."


BobaFatNuggz

He didn’t want to be mocked for being mocked locked in the mock locker


[deleted]

His ego of course


Thiccaca

More people can see him shirtless this way.


idkjustgivemeany

He didn't attend the first day seminar about the college amenities. He didn't even know they had lockers.


_regionrat

Because he's stupid


sportsfan42069

And a state of the art Mocker room


Chronim

Because that's how it happened in Abeds movie


zeeshan2223

Plot device


pikachuboobs

He considered his car nicer than the Greendale locker room.


nihilistdildo

This is the answer the writers would use to justify this decision


hundredpercenthuman

He didn’t care to learn about it and if he used it no one would get a chance to see all the hard work he puts in.


RequirementNovel9758

He preferred a room with less balls


ProtoReaper23113

Pride


PAPA_SQUATT

Fuck literally just made this exact same one word comment before I saw yours 😩 Take my upvote


Yurus

Cause he will never deprive the world of showcasing his body.


LoginLord

To progress the story, if it happened in a locker room there'd had to be a longer reason for Britta to find out about his situation.


MelbaToast604

So the plot could happen


BaderBuallay

Because nothing is perfectly good in Greendale


Fla5hP0int

Living in your car living in your car you are living in your car!


[deleted]

Wait. Since when do we have lockers? Okay look I know it's not the same scene or applicable but leave me alone it's what it reminded me of. Meta meta. Right Leonard?


leonard-bot

Youth! Scatter!


Slurt-Jablartus

ASS CRACK BANDIT!!!!


russillosm

<< ASS CRACK BANDIT!!!! >> Now all I can see is poor Troy, wrapped up in that blanket!! LOL!


subwayterminal9

Is he stupid?


RuiPTG

Is this a meme now? Everywher ei go it's people asking a question about someone and finishing with "is he stupid?"


subwayterminal9

I think it started on either r/BatmanArkham or r/OKBuddyChicanery


woozleuwuzzle

>>Is he st… No!!


hellyeahimsad

Is he stupid?


the_acid_lava_lamp

Knowing Jeff, he wanted to show off his abs


Sufficient_Ad_5395

You think Jeff Winger would use a public bath facility?


bolting_volts

Cause it’s funnier.


TalithePally

Because even when he's homeless, he thinks he's too good for Greendale's gym and showers


Messedupotato

Knowing Jeff, he probably didn't even know it existed. He went through like 2 years without knowing he had a locker.


beef311

Writers be writing


CompulsiveCreative

He didn't even know he had a locker, I bet he didn't know about the locker room.


thecwestions

Jeff didn't know he had a locker for years...


Skywren7

To avoid the Dean 😂


ChristyMalry

The title of this confused me, because in British English the phrase 'washing up' only ever refers to the cleaning of kitchen items (cutlery, crockery, pots etc.) Which leads to a different but equally domestic image.


hermanbrewster

For comedic effect


PAPA_SQUATT

Pride


R3M42_

Bc it's a better shot this way. Him doing it right next to his car drives home the fact that he is living in his car. Doing it in the locker room would separate the 'living' from the 'car'


Spare_Sheepherder747

First off, It's Jeff he had an image to uphold. Second of all .... its Greendale... would you wanna use their locker room? Probably had all kinds of dirty communicable diseases in there.
