I was thinking about the personalities and what they were all striving to achieve. Super fit, packing on the muscle or probably, like me, just trying to prevent middle age spread. I did say trying!
Thoughts continued on to those things that can irritate, don't know why they just did. Some for no real reason, others more obvious. But, every time I go Its the same things and I cant help wonder why. Why do they do that?
So, pop pickers, here's my Top Ten: (In no particular order - cue X Factor)
1. Leaving sweaty hand grips on the equipment (Yuk - wipe it off!)
2. Talking, sorry, shouting to your mate across numerous shower cubicles. (I couldn't give a hoot about what you want to do with your girlfriend tonight)
3. Talking loudly on a mobile, to impress your mates, in the changing rooms (although the last time this happened, at the end, his girlfriend was insistent that he say those famous three words. Out loud of course! #suddenly quieter.
4. Having a shave with no clothes on. (C'mon guys, what's all that about?)
5. Drying your pubes with a hair dryer. (If that does it for you, please do it at home. Not in public.)
6. Doing a work out, changing then standing outside having a fag. (Is there any point?)
7. Walking past the mirrors on the way to shower..looking at your self. (It's the same body as when you walked in, only sweatier!)
8. Coming out of the pool and leaving that same pool of water in front of the locker. (Oh good, so when you put on clean trousers they'll sweep nicely through it. Dry yourself off fella!)
9. Stretching all of your kit across the bench and then giving you the bird when you ask to share it...just a little bit. 120 lockers and 8 benches, you do the maths)
But my best one has to be:
10. Dropping the weights on the floor after a rep, when they are clearly too heavy for you. (Nope, the pretty blonde isn't impressed, neither is the maintenance man.)
I like the gym really, but by god there are some personalities. Or am I just getting old?
Regards, Victor Meldrew.
