Go to the gym today, pumped and amped, DaftPunk is in the ear buds, my smile is contagious - its a good morning... and everything is sticky with sweat and grime as usual the second I sit down ready to get to the real work. terribly disgusting - I swear I am the only one at the entire gym that cleans the equipment after using it.

Is it a big deal germ wise to have all that stuff there, or should I keep being the one weirdo guy that has to clean everything before using it?

    Does every random thought in your brain get its very own post?

    My weights are in my basement, so I'm more worried about spiders.

    but yucky... nothing like sitting in other people's sweat.

    Twas a while back but I'm sure I can recall reading a post where someone stated they picked up a staph infection at the gym. Ended up with having to get a big chunk of flesh removed or something.

    Curious as to how they know that's where he acquired it - staph infections are common and people pick them up from all over the place.

    Mmmm, not a clue? Something about 3/4 leg pants at the gym. I can't remember the exact tale to be honest but that was their version of events as to where they'd picked it up.

    Hench the anti-bacterial wipes for the shopping carts at the grocery stores. I hate baby poo and snot on my food.

    So its just where he thought he picked it up - he could of actually picked it up anywhere then.
