Today in church we did an exercise where you write about someone you're angry or upset with and the first thing I said was, "I'm going to need more than that one sheet of paper." The point of course was to get to some kind of understanding and eventually peace. At least I think that's the point. I was too busy making a list of people who piss me off. Since I was planning to go to the gym that afternoon I started there.
PEOPLE WHO PISS ME OFF AT THE GYM
1.) The Dumper. I mean, who takes a shit at the gym? What are you, homeless? I seriously do not understand why they even have toilets at public places. Urinals, yes. But there's no way I'm sitting down and going on that seat that people have pissed on and puked on unless I have a dire and immediate gastric emergency. And even then I'll probably end up going in my pants while speeding home to my own lovely toilet.
2.) The Gum Chewer. I don't know why I find this so irksome. All of a sudden I'm Miss Vevon, my eleventh grade english teacher who hating gum chewing more than she hated dangling participles or anything else on earth. I just think there's a time and a place for chewing gum -- although right now I can only think of one, and that's when you're going up in the mountains or otherwise experiencing a sudden change in altitude. And chin-ups don't count.
3.) The Nudists. Why, why, why do some guys insist on strutting around naked? You've got a towel in your hand, why don't you wrap it around yourself. Cover up that rusty old ass and micro dick. I mean, seriously, what is the point?
4.) The Ladies Man. The guy who only goes to the gym to flirt with the ladies. Again, time and place, Romeo. If you worked on your physique as hard as you work on your pick-up lines, maybe you'd get a better response.
5.) Larry the Cable Guy. This is the guy who works out in jeans and an old button-down shirt with the sleeves torn off. Buy some sweats, dude. They're right there in Wal-Mart not tooo far from the chewing tobacco.
6.) Mr. Top-heavy. These are the guys with huge arms, huge chests and scrawny little bird legs. Quit doing all those curls and do some squats or something to develop your lower body or you are going to crumble.
7.) The Narcissist. This is the guy who does all his exercises in front of a mirror and is unable to hide his admiration for his own body.
8.) The Guy Who Blow Dries his Testicles. This guy should be drawn and quartered.

I don't have to time to comment on the rest, but #1 isn't fair. Take it from someone who has spent a lot of time recently away from home; If you got to go, you got to go. Every toilet here in VA is a public toilet but I'm not holding it until I get home.
How about the guy who removes his towel to weigh himself on the scale -- Jeez, I'd allow him five pounds if he'd keep it on!
Especially when he holds the towel in his hands! So he doesn't even lose the couple ounces the towel weighs. I'd give him five pounds and five dollars to keep the towel on.
Zan, if you're traveling you have to make concessions, I understand. Crap in your hotel room or at work, but don't crap at the gym or Barnes and Noble or a restaurant or anywhere where I might show up.
