Author Topic: Irritating Cellphones at Gym (Read 12430 times)

I have been training during the work day at a gym on the road this week. Very irritating trend. Guys sit on the equipment between sets and do work related (or personal) texts and emails WAY longer than typical rest period between sets. Ties the equipment up forever. Also, in the locker room, dude is sitting near naked in front of a bunch of lockers blocking access and texting and emailing away on cellphone. Sometimes I yearn for the days before we had the phones.

Irritating cell phones mostly everywhere. People are looking down at their phones while crossing a major street intersection, while driving their cars, while sitting across from someone at a restaurant, in the movie theater when it's dark and the movie's playing, etc.

Last October, the fine for distracted driving nearly doubled. Not only that but it escalates with each offense. Get caught three times and you'll face a $2,500 fine plus 6 months jail time. So what's changed? Increasing numbers of people are pulling over to the bike lane and parking. Parking or driving in the bike lane is also illegal, not to mention unsafe for bicyclists.

New one at the gym today. Dude texting or tweeting DURING his leg presses, not between them. And another naked guy sitting on the bench in front of lockers and blocking access to lockers while doing work emails or texting in the locker room.

Saw this one woman taking selfies/Instagram vid while sitting side ways on the seated leg press machine. And she using really light weight...it was like she was doing this so that she had the "appearance" of working out.

Drives me fucking nuts. The worst offenders at my health club (LA Fitness) are women. They will get on a machine, do a short set, then sit there and text or whatever with their phones for five minutes or more, then do short set, then sit there and spend another five minutes or more with their phone, do a short set, another at least five minutes on the phone, et cetera, et cetera. I try to be polite and wait but oftentimes I have to move on to a different exercise.

women everywhere are the same these days....makes me sick!!! The cell phones robbed them of the last 2 oz of personality they had

He's right, it makes women much less attractive.
