Gym Oddities

Things I wonder about other people:

• Why do they clean off of a treadmill or an elliptical that their hands may have touched momentarily but they never wipe their sweat off of the weight machines when they walk away leaving it soaking wet, stankey and even with streaked from their deodorant?!
• Who wears jeans to the gym and expects to get a work out!?
• Whats with the 15 year old kid in a gym for 18+ who seems to think the more he can lift makes him look cooler, even though he's quivering and clearly not even lifting correctly as his whole body attempts to do even ONE curl up? Seriously?!
• Why does everyone fight for the front parking spaces, its a GYM, walk the extra 100 yards!
  
• Can you REALLY read your magazine, listen to your ipod, and watch the television while getting a work out?
  
• Do you think anyone really cares how much weight you were lifting? Is there seriously a need to move the pin down lower after your done, to appear as though you are stronger then you actually are.

Things I wonder about myself:

• Am I the only one who has trouble getting off a machine if the numbers are not somewhat even. I often spend a lot of time stressing over what number I should be anal about: calories, distance, time. And there are days I try to make sure all three numbers are likeable, this can take time. Yesterday though, I got lucky they were all good numbers I felt comfortable leaving: 175.5, 2.25, :05.
  
• Is it normal that I pick my machine based off of the athletic abilities of those on the surrounding machines.
• Does everyone have to talk themselves into finishing the way I do? Constant. I should just be done now. NO, 1 more minute. Minute passes. Okay, I can go. No, thats still cheating you know it wasnt enough. 3 more. AM I DONE YET?!
• Did anyone notice me move the pin lower?!?!
