Gym Etiquette <rant>

i was in step class today, and there was a woman there who really ticked me off. apparently, a lot of the women there knew her, though i don't recall ever seeing her in this particular class. i hope she decides not to come back.
the step class i attend is pretty complicated and choreography driven, in addition to being a crazy hard class. a lot of people come in for the first time, leave halfway through and never come back, partly because it is difficult and partly because it's really hard to keep up with if you don't know all the steps.
well, today this woman was in there, and it seemed that every 15 seconds she was 'whoo-hooing' her little heart out. but not a little bit. i'm talking nascar-race-throwing-chicken-bones-across-the-fence 'whoo-hooing' (fyi, i've never actually seen this practice - just heard about it from my in-laws).
she was completely obnoxious and distracting.
i know that a lot of the women will be vocal about like a class, especially when it's zumba or something - i'm totally not opposed to that. but this woman would *not* shut up. the whole class. she drowned out the music (which speaks highly of the decibel of her voice) and blocked out instructions from our teacher. i totally hated her.
i guess if she comes back and screams more i'll mention to her as nice as i can. maybe. i don't want to be out of line, and i'm not really sure if that constitutes a speaking-with or not. hopefully she will just go back to wherever she's been the last 6 or 7 months - which is not in my step class.
okay. i feel better now. mostly.

HAHAHAHA
I would do a "Shuuuuuut Uuuuuup!!!!" In a mockery of the voice she is using.
My girlfriends and I were chanting in the back yard and the neighbor wouldn't STFU so we chanted "Shuuuuuuuuuuuut theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup"
That ended in physical violence on all parts...
Good memories.

I am still amazed at what little it takes to tweak people....Maybe in a month or two of doing this I will get more upset and angry. In reality though I dont think so. Whatever motivates them go baby go...It just gives me something to giggle about. :laugh:0
