Okay, so I'm working out using the weight machines and this older gent walks in. You are supposed to carry a towel to wipe your sweat off the machines when you are done with it. Well, he works out on one machine and then proceeds to have a caughing fit. Not just a normal caughing fit, the kid where it sounds like he is hacking up a hairball or something. He holds his towel up to his face while he is caughing, then wipes his face and nose with it. Then he wipes off the machine he was using. YUCK! I mean, with swine flu and all that going on, don't you think someone who is obviously sick should stay home? I just made sure not to use a piece of equipment that he used first. But it made me wonder about who else may have used it and what they may have done.

" That's gross. I hope you reported it to someone.

The gym manager should have a spray bottle and a disposable wipe and follow that guy around...he won't have to talk to the guy, but, the guy will get the message...maybe.

I know a couple of guys who just won't be told what to do and when to do it no matter what out of pure stubborness and cusidness. Very frustrating to be friends with them. "

" That is freaking NASTY!

I saw a guy lifting weights one day while I was on the treadmill and he had a pneumonia cough. WTH?! I know that it was a pneumonia cough because I have had pneumonia twice in the past two years. I was giving him the evil eye as I watched him hack all over the weights and machines. I also wanted to tell him that he needs to see a pulmonologist, but I didn't want to get anywhere near him! Ahhh!

I can TOTALLY understand where you are coming from with this post! "
