Entry: Things Not To Do At The Gym Tuesday, February 21, 2006



because you just piss me off. 

1.  Please do  not load up on cologne or perfume if you are going to be in the cardio area.  People, the gym is a place where sweat is welcome and encouraged.  I do not need to be running on the treadmill and gasping for air and have to smell your cheap ass Stetson nastiness.  (I am not sure if stetson is cheap but since my man does not wear cologne it is the only thing I could think of.)  Please feel free to drip and stink.  I would prefer to have a man next to me sweating his little heart out and have a neutral smell than to be next to a man who is walking smelling like my grandpa!

2.  If you are the skinny fit chick who is trying to get the attention of a good looking man doing sprint intervals on the treadmill you should probably not be reading mom and baby magazine.  Girl, you can flip that long blonde hair around until your neck falls breaks.  Just the thought of a baby probably put that man into celebate status immediatly.  He was not interested and I certainly don't need your cute as a button butt in front of me!  Heck your following him from machine to machine probably qualifies and stalking.  This just makes me want to kick your ass.  You don't stalk people at the gym.  That is just weird.  Do it again and I may sit on you.  He might even give me a prize.

3.  Don't put your make up on before you enter that actual gym to work out.  Refer to #1 and note that fitness is about sweat and not to get a date for Friday night.  Geeeesh!!  (My little sister tells girls off like you and she is fit as a fiddle and can also kick your ass.  Not because she is heavier but because the girl has muscle)

4.  Men,  do you really need to feel your chests as much as you do while at the gym in your cut off t shirts.  Really, I have never seen so many young men feel themselves up all of the time.  I do not find it attractive and quite frankly am starting to wonder if I should avoid your area all together.  I would hate to get whatever illness you have that makes you do that.  I almost lost my pants while running and can you imagine if I started massaging my chest in public. I think Pete would leave me.

5. My final bitch.  If you are going to use the pool DRY OFF BEFORE YOU ENTER THE FLIPPIN LOCKER ROOM.  MY SOCKS ARE NOT GOING TO DRY IN THE HOUR I AM GETTING BUFF AND I DO NOT WANT TO WEAR MY RUNNING SOCKS TO WORK.  

Can anyone tell I had a bad day at the gym?  Regularly scheduled knitting programming later.  I did get my scarf and I will tell you all about it in my next post.  I have to take a picture now that I have my camera back!

Remember, don't wear perfurme while on the treadmill.  One day I might snap and I would hate to snap and injure a knitter.

Happy Knitting. Smile

LOL! That is some good material. Have you thought of giving up accounting to become a comedian?

Hey Kristen! You crack me up with this post. I love how you're all bad-ass, but then you end with a smiling face. :)
