Pump it


Here's a piece regarding what not to do at the gym: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/WellnessNews/story?id=6922336&page=1. Some obvious stuff here including sitting on equipment for an inordinate amount of time while others are waiting. To observe man's (and woman's) inconsiderate treatment of others, belong to a gym. I actually belong to two gyms and see awful behavior on display fairly regularly. A few things not mentioned in the article:

Using the towel you just used to wipe your face and underarms to "clean" the bench or equipment you were using. That's just swell.

Using the blow dryers provided at the sinks to dry not the hair on your head but rather your pubic region. Is this really necessary? This especially applies if you're an old man. In fact, there should be a standing rule that any man over age forty should never be naked in any circumstance, especially in the locker room. But, you see 'em all the time walking around and striking up conversations with friends while their flabby ass flaps in the wind. Really great.

Wearing the same horribly shrunken Hanes undershirt you've worn for the last fifteen years to work out in along with the Hawaiian tropic themed swim trunks your wife bought on that Carnival cruise around the same time. Oh, also the same worn out tennis shoes that double as your grass cutting pair. That's nice.

If you're a woman, try to show up looking presentable. This does not apply to any Texas and/or Southern girl who wouldn't go to hell without first making sure she looked presentable. No, I'm talking to you, Miss New Jersey and you Miss Michigan and especially you, Miss Boston--for the sake of all that's holy, fix your ass up. Yeah, I know you're big on equality and all that Ted Kennedy shit, but the right to look as godawful as a guy shouldn't be something you aspire to, at least not down here. Well, it's probably not going to get that much better for you, but at least give it a shot. Make a trip to Academy. Buy some makeup. Comb that ratty ass hair of yours. Damn, life's too short to look that bad.

Stay off the #2 elliptical machine I like to use. You know who you are.

I think you have me confused or you're just possibly confused regarding your sexual orientation. NTTAWWT.
