And I mean what I say in the title literally. I belong to a local gym. I go to lift weights several times a week and am generally in and out in about thirty minutes.
Except for this week. It seems that everyone is off work and out of school and they all decided to go to the gym.
In clumps.
So the equipment that I usually just jump onto, do my thing, and move on is being bogarted by a gaggle.
In addition to the time it takes for four people to do their reps, they have to discuss the latest gossip ad nauseum in between.
If someone is solo, they generally stare at their phones for five to ten minutes between reps. Or in the case of the one young man who took the last Smith machine, he just kept staring at the bar like he was trying out his non-existent telekinetic power.
I try to go at off times but there isn’t any slowdown this week.
Yeargh.
