dude, i've noticed people on cell phones at my gym ... i'm like, are you serious??? that's just gonna get me started on a whole other tangent, which is that no one in our society likes to be alone anymore. people either go to the gym together or talk on the phone while working out or walk to the gym while talking to someone, etc, etc, etc. it drives me crazy because i like to be alone a lot and nobody gets it. but as i said ... that's a whooole new can o' worms.
but yeah, gym rats are bitches. i'm not going there to be social, i'm going there to get healthy ... so shove it, bitches. |
I KNOW!! I'm a total loner too - and lately more and more people make me feel bad for it...it pisses me off actually.
Before the WW thing I asked a gal in the office if some pizza place was good and she asked, "are you going to get one by yourself?" I said, yes....and there was an "aww..." What the hell. Not everyone has to be surrounded by people all the time. I LIKE being alone - imagine that.
So I think your theory is correct - I meet so many people who can't do anything by themselves.
And I gotta say - workign out in buddies - great - but why is it that usually means talking/yelling - so that EVERYONE in the gym has to listen to you? I could hear those gals over my headphones most of the time - and again - if you want social hour - go somewhere else!!!!
The worst was girls who would park themselves on the stretching/ab mats - just to chat - not stretching, not doing crunches - just talking and laughing...and pissing me off.
I so dont' miss the public gym
