Yup pregnancy has killed my brain to mouth filter
I was working out today and this women and her friend (late 50s or so) decided they wanted to have a conversation on the ellipticals. Instead of using machines NEXT to each other though, they skipped a machine and were SHOUTING their conversations (especially since one of them was wearing earphones). I had my noise canceling headphones on and I could still hear the entire conversation. So 5 min of hearing about so and so's prescription and then how so and so is losing weight, and I'm a little peeved, but after 15 minutes I'm seething and I snapped. The one woman had this low manish, gravely voice like rocks and I just couldn't stand it anymore. I grabbed my stuff with the intention of finding another machine, saw there were none and decided eff it I"d work out at home, but not without saying VERY LOUDLY to the women with the headphones. "YOU KNOW NOT EVERYONE IS INTERESTED IN HEARING YOUR CONVERSATION WHILE THEY ARE TRYING TO WORK OUT". So I guess I'm working out from home today LOL.

Why would they do that? Very rude.
I probably would've asked one of them if they wanted to switch with me so they could be together because I would've been too chicken to say anything else.
This makes me feel so much better LOL. Seriously my pet peeve is people who go to the gym to socialize, drives me nuts when they are on the phone or talking loudly. Also anyone who wears 15 gallons of perfume, I mean seriously do you need a gallon of Rose Water?
How about the guys who wear so much cologne that you can actually taste it in the air? ?They're the worst!?
bonus points if they're the dudes wearing shorts with no undies....sorry dude, nobody wants to see your sad excuse for a penis
You should tell them your preference if it bothers you so much - everyone is different. I would much prefer that people, even little kids, just call me by my first name. I don't want to be called Mrs. Lastname or Miss Firstname.
Same here.
Unfortunately at my gym there are good ellipticals and "bad" ones and I wasn't about to give up a good one just so they could chit chat.
I know I should, but I never stand up for myself. My parents weren't the discussing type, just the mean & yelling type, so I am like paranoid for correcting people (for anything!) Isn't that ridiculous? I am definitely changing that when LO comes along! It's a stupid way to live.
