Workout Etiquette

So, how about the guy who goes over to the dumbbell rack, carefully selects his weights of choice, and flashes the mirror his best blue steel? Instead of grabbing his weights, and walking to another area, this guy takes a very courteous half step back, and begins to do his lateral shoulder raises. I mean what the hell? And for me, it just ruins whatever I am doing, because I cannot look away, and I cannot help but to get pissed. I try everything. I'll concentrate on a single point of focus, I'll look harder into the mirror, heck, I'll even shut my eyes. But nothing works. I always feel as if it is my job to teach this guy a lesson. Hell, I could be on rep #2, and instead of finishing my set, I'll very casually walk towards the dumbbell rack, and select the weights smack dab in front of the inconsiderate bastard. Now I know this kinda makes me a prick as well, but we all have our pet peeves, right? The best is when the guy doesn't catch the drift, and I very casually make him move again by returning the weights to their proper spot. Baby games? Babygames.

Amen Brother! I remember the days when a man would get his East Halls Gym pass punched a few dozen times for a stunt like that.

We need to post something about Murphy on here bro. There are those in this world that believe that heros no longer walk amongst us.

I agree my man. I have started to write something about Murphy for a couple of times now, and it just wasn't working for me. He was one hell of a man, and we are all better people to have know him.
