Workout
OK, I am going to judge-ily bitch about some gym classmates this morning
I am sorry but:
1. If you're in a class, what the teacher and everyone else is doing is not just like, a suggestion. It's one thing if you have an injury and are doing some modification. But this one woman in a full unironic 80s workout outfit including scrunchy socks (not that that has anything to do with it, but it helps with my judging) was like, "hmm, I think I will lie in the middle of the floor and do (poor form) crunches while everyone else is standing up doing triceps kickbacks." Or, "I think I'll do some terrible pushups while you guys are doing lunges and biceps curls." Huh? Not only is it dangerous in a crowded class but I think it's quite disrespectful to the instructor who, you know, might plan this stuff in this sequence for a reason.
2. Late Lady. She comes in 15 minutes late every week and proceeds to squeeze herself into the most incongruous place and is super disruptive. Today as we were doing some sort of pushup situation, she shows up, walks back and forth through a sea of people a million times getting her weights, her mat, etc. then threw her streetclothes right onto my open water bottle (ew. Also, maybe change in the locker room!?) and then gave me a dirty look. She also drops her weights really loud and everyone always stares.
Maybe I'm just sensitive but why do some people have zero sense of common courtesy??? Grrr.
That said, I had a great workout today in pilates and Total Body Conditioning, tee hee.
I'm not a bitch, I swear.

I totally agree with you!!! totally!! and you are not being a bitch.. I hate it when people come late and then you have to move to accomodate them.. they should just find a place where they won't bother people or if they can't, apologize profusely....
I hate being late to class, sometimes i won't even go, but sometimes you just have to go, and after, I always apologize to the teacher and to the folks around me.

Mystifying.

That was the least bitchy bitch session I've ever heard. I feel betrayed by your title! I can't believe someone would do crunches when other people are standing & moving... rude, but also, just weird!

Ha ha, I will try to be bitchier next time. I wish I could have transcribed my internal monologue while it was actually happening!
So many weirdos, so many gyms...
