Sorry it’s kinda long , (but fight through your ADHD and read it) It’s a crazy story that happened today
It’s Sunday! My day off from insanity & my other workout program but doing nothing all day doesn’t really sit well with me so I do 35 mins on the treadmill in my complex early 6 am-ish.
10 min’s into my workout there’s a guy pulling on the door to get in (you need to swipe this little keycard to unlock the door). He’s clearly mentally handicap about 14-15 years old 5’5 and a lil husky.
So, I pause my machine to let him in. He comes in and jumps right on the treadmill across from me and starts randomly pushing buttons. I was just about to tell him that the machine was not plugged in when he jumped off the treadmill and looks at the elliptical then made a b-line to the stationary bike.
After about a good 5 pedals he jumps off and starts talking to me asking “what time does the office open?”
I told him “it’s sunday so not to around 11, I think... but i’m not really sure”. He replies “4”? then reaches into his pocket pulls out a cell phone looks at me and says “4 or 5?” I reply “yes” (because at this point I knew it didn’t really matter)
As he’s leaving he say’s “call me” and walks out
BTW- He has the most confident walk in the world, like he’s on a mission.
That’s not the end.....
About 5 mins later he’s back yanking on the door again. I pause the machine to let him in, but this time he’s not interested in working out. He want’s a pop from the vending machine right outside of the workout room. So he asks me “do you have any money?”
I tell him “no I don’t have any cash on me” He says ”check” I pat my pockets to show him that I don’t have anything in them.
Then he says “can I check” and proceeds to pat my pockets” at this point I turn my pockets inside out to show him there was absolutely no money in them” He leaves disappointed.
Nope thats not the end either...
So about 10 mins later...
My friend is back yanking at the door again. So of course I let him in again. Now he’s asking me “do you have a car?” I tell him “Yes”. He replies “Me too” and shows me some keys then tell me he was sleeping in his car and got a new house and it was *kitten* crazy ( don’t ask it’s just what he said)
He then tells me again “Call me at 4” Give my a high 5 with a exploding fist bump before he leaves.
Now my workout is over, I’m wiping down the machine and drinking some water when I notice him trying to use those car keys to try and get into someones front door. So now i’m wondering who’s kid is this and why is he just wondering around with key’s to a car.
I still debating if I should call someone, but as I’m walking back to my place I hear the repeated chirping of a car unlocking and think “OH HELL NO This kid is not about to drive a car!”
I go home get my cell phone and drive around to find him sitting in the front passenger seat of a Honda civic with both doors open doodling on some guys old cable bill.
So I call the cops.. Come to find out his family had reported him missing. All ended well.
Before I left... I gave him a high 5 and a exploding fist bump but he switched it up on me... his finished his fist bump off with a eye wink and a pistol shot.
And this is why you should always workout on Sunday mornings and bring your cell phone with you.

Wow. Already an eventful morning for you, eh? Good job you were there and had an eye out for him. All I accomplished today was a trek around the park a couple of times and then had enough self-restraint to pass the bakery with just a loving glance as I ran by it.0
