“So I know you,” the clerk at the pharmacy says beaming ear to ear.
“Yeah, how’s that?” I ask looking up from signing the form.
“We work out at the same time at the same gym.”
“We do?”
“Yes.? I see you there every day.”
“You do?” I ask.? “Really?”
“Yes, really.”
This exchange happened yesterday.? I was totally busted for being a snotty bitch.? I don’t look at anyone at the gym.? I only talk to the people I know – which is like two people (well trainers, are they people?)
Of course, I blushed and apologized profusely.
Still, if I was a turkey, I’m pretty sure he’d have me for Thanksgiving.
I don’t talk to people at the gym either. More because I don’t want to start up someone’s stalker gene.
At least you’re going. There isn’t anything in the rules that says you have to socialize. I got so fed up with the meat market atmosphere of the gym I was going to that I quit. I’m looking for an all women’s facility where I’ll only be judged, not ogled.
my whole issue with not talking to people at the gym mostly stems from me not going to one, because i am a cheap bastard. running, biking, pushups, and crunches are free. well except for the pretty sun dress i like to wear on my bicycle
Don’t feel bad – I’m a gym snob too! I like to use that time to think about all the stuff I don’t have time to think about, so no time for chatty chat. That, or its get the workout done and get outta there!
Gobble gobble!!
Lorrie – I have a membership where I can go to different gyms in my area – I had to do that already this year because of some guy. Stalkers love me.
Harlekwin – I’d rather be ogled than judged I guess. Childhood issues from having so many sisters probably.
FuriousBall – I do love that sundress. Can I wear it some time?
Jill – At least I’m in good company.
I talk to everyone where I work out, but I know a bunch of them and they are almost all women. It’s just a kickboxing class, but I have met a ton of cool people. And I will pretty much talk to anyone…. at least once.
I’m a little surprised that a guy would admit to watching you at the gym every day. He deserves to be snubbed.
ADW – This is another reason you are a superior human being to me.
Heart in SF – That never occurred to me. Watching = Snubbing. Good plan.
Can you spell c-r-e-e-p-y, children?
I knew you could.
That would have given me the “creepies”…….
Peace
Heart in SF – You’re probably right. I’ll keep my eyes out for him.
Odat – I just figured it was normal. I mean, doesn’t every woman get vague weird attention when she’s at the gym? If you and Heart think it’s creepy, it probably is creepy.
hahaha! That’s so going to be me. I am moving out of the parent’s house in a few weeks. Away from the at home gym. that was sooo nice…
So, I have to get a gym membership. I really really am not looking forward to viewing half naked skinny bitches. (I’m joining a university gym) That’s annoying. I want to be the only half naked skinny bitch.
