I came across this shirt on some web page & think I need it! It makes me nuts when people want to talk to me at the gym. Like if they choose to stand around & talk cool, it's their gym membership & they can do what they choose. But I hate when they expect me to join in. I'm never rude & will say good morning & respond if I am talked to. But I just can't stand around & act like I'm in some social club. It's waste of my time & it messes with my focus. And I have made the mistake a couple times of having a conversation or two with people. But then they expect it every time they see me & it's just not going to happen. Maybe this shirt will get the message across lol.

    Headphones usually get the point across. If they can't respect headphones, they're ain't much hope for them.

    Headphones are the way to go. I like the message of the shirt but for 1) I can't workout in anything with sleeves and 2) I agree that it would probably result in being more of a conversation piece than a deterrent.

    Never have this problem, but I always wear earbuds.

    Who cares what they do. It's their membership and as long as they are not up all in your business, so what.
