    I was at the gym today and I was confronted rather rudely by one of the blockhead gym trainers who accused me of not wiping down some 5 pound dumb bells. I told him, "no it was not me" and then proceeded to tell him "Don't accuse me of doing something wrong." He then said, "Well, your sweating." To which I said, "It's the gym everyone is sweating." Instead of apologizing at that point he said "Well these are small weights look like the size of weight you use." I went to the manager and they apologized but they did not immediately talk to the trainer or have him apologize. I carry a towel with me that I use to wipe down the equipment I use, yes sometimes I forget but that does not give someone the right to get up in my grill especially employees they need to handle it professionally and politely. If I pick up equipment and its moist I wipe it down myself or just carry on, it is not that big of a deal except on the floor mats.

    I yell at them. I got ringworm from my gym so now I do it anytime I see somebody walk away from a machine without wiping it. That ringworm sh[/b]it is no fun and management does nothing about it.

    After I glare at them and make my disgust known by gagging loudly, I then wipe it down.

    Usually give them side-eye, then just wipe it down myself. I'm Canadian like that lol :p

    I'm kind of an ocd freak and I can't stand germs because I get sick easily. I always shower afterwards and I sweat like crazy! So I always wipe it off afterwards and if the person on the machine I want to use next does it then I don't wipe it, but if I didn't see someone wipe it off then I will before I use it.

    I only sweat when I'm hitting free weights hard on legs and back... can't expect me to wipe down little droplets of sweat everywhere I go :wink:
