Just something to ponder this morning, while you sit at your desk and try to fool your boss into thinking your actually working.
Kind of hard to make them think I'm in here working when I'm laughing hysterically!!! :laugh:0 -

Personally, I'd use the weights first so there is no pee on them....0

I just hate, and therefore want to throat punch, everyone. Saves time in figuring out who's okay and who's not.0

I only object to groups of people who act like the entire space is their own personal space. This applies at the gym, the grocery store, the freeway, etc. Don't put away your weights. Leave your cart diagonal across the aisle so no one may pass. Cut off other drivers.

I'm the same way in almost all aspects of my life, not just at the gym.0

I generally ignore most others in the gym... I actually get a good laugh from the 'meatheads' grunting and groaning after lifting a very heave weight 5 times and then staring at themselves in the mirror.
However, one thing that really bugs me is someone on a machine and talking on their cell phone at the same time! If I can hear you over my music, you are a problem! I don't need to hear about your kids or whatever...
Oh, and a person who passes gas on the next machine and it is so bad that you have to move... true story!0 -

throat punch is one of the hardest to land unless you sucker punch someone, but with the right gear we could go a few rounds0 -

I don't look at what anyone else is doing, I don't look if anyone else is looking at me, I have in-ear buds that block out all sound, most people probably think I'm a jerk because I don't do anything social except say, "are you done with that bench?". The gym will always be filled with meatheads, pretty people, heavy people, inexperienced people, self-absorbed people, people doing weird excercises, people who want to be seen, people who go to watch everyone else, and plenty of people who just want to use the gym anonymously.0

Oh, so you've been here. That saves time.0 -
I try. I give it until 10AM EST before it's deleted.
You've made it well past that! :drinker:0 -
:laugh: Thanks for the nice laugh early in the morning. I like the fact that you at least love the little old ladies.
I get self-conscious in the gym, so I usually try to go when it's empty -- or nearly empty. And, when it's not empty, I try to just stay to myself. I guess I would probably be the type of person people would hate because they think I am a snob. Who knows.0 -
