Gym rant

Ok so I just have to share this.

Now if any of you are regular gym goers you realize how noisy it gets in there right?

so I go at 0 dark thirty and most of the time I'm the only one there at 5 am. But recently, since school started there is another lady there early too. I generally watch the news on the TV while running. If someone else is there I turn it way down so I don't intrude on their workout.

Sooooo.... I have the news on at the volume is on 3. Now with the fans on and the treadmill going you can hear about every 4th or 5th word. Granted there is closed captioning but not for weather or sports. Anyway the point is, its not LOUD.

this lady comes over and says "turn the sound off its bothering me". Whatever I think and turn the volume off. she gets on the treadmill 2 over from me and proceeds to turn on her fan. Then pulls out headphones. WTH? You are going to be wearing headphones and the TV is going to bother you? And to make matters even worse a few minutes later she starts singing!
Yea my volume 3 news bothers you while you are working out WITH headphones on but your off-key caterwauling is perfectly fine! Yea, thanks for ruining MY workout.

And what really sucks is she is there nearly every morning now! ARGH, always with headphones and always singing! And good googly moogly you should hear her when she stretches. Lord I thought there was a porno playing somewhere. YIKES.

Grumphhhmph.

I would NOT be turning the volume down any longer. I would tell her that her singing is louder than the TV and that if she didn't want a tired, over-worked, under appreciated mother kicking her ass at 5am, she should DEAL!

I sure hope you turn that volume back up. What a loon!

does she have a favorite treadmill that she always runs on? you should leave her a note and tell her she needs to quit the moanin' and groanin' .. it's a family-friendly place for cryin' out loud! lol. poor you. to take all that in at 5am. oh man.
