If anyone knows the Anti-Nowhere League, and is familiar with that song, then you know exactly how I feel. Especially if you can imagine Animal’s raspy voice growling the words “I Hate People”
I just got back from the gym. Workout was pretty good, the burn and the pain felt great. It’s insane that physical exhaustion can feel good, but there you go. And then, as I’m getting dressed to leave, some guy comes in to change into his gym clothes to go work out. Nothing strange there, it’s the guy’s locker room after all and that’s where we change. Except, he takes off his boots and I almost lose my lunch. Last month’s lunch. This fucken guy’s feet stunk SO badly they could KILL Godzilla dead in seconds. I have no idea how the hell I survived.
I manage to get to walk to the sink a few times in order to gulp some cleaner air and when he finally leaves and the killer invisible cloud dissipates, I finish dressing and begin to head out. I stop at the sink again just to splash some more water in my face so I wouldn’t pass out. And then, passing in front of the bathroom stalls, I notice the fucken thing has not been flushed and there’s obvious human waste in it. I’m so fucken disgusted I want to blow the goddam building up. Except, there have been at least 5 to 7 guys who’ve come and gone in the locker room during the time I was working out, so who the hell knows who it could have been?
I fucken hate people some days. Truly fucken do. What KILLS me is that the gym is PRIVATE! That means you have to have a properly-cleared pass in order to get in! Why the fuck would you NOT clean up after yourself? Christ, why would you even COME to the gym to work out if you ALREADY stink? God I don’t even want to know if that guy wipes the equipment after each use.
I’m so sorely tempted to just get myself a Concept II Rower for the house. That’s really the only MAIN reason I go to the gym. I can walk/ run home every day. I can work out with free weights (which are obviously better than the machines). I can use the ab machine as well. As much as I enjoy the treadmill, I wouldn’t miss it too much if I had a rower.
I’m so disgusted that all the “feel good” endorphins pumping through my system after the workout are nullified. I. HATE. PEOPLE. I work with ADULTS, dammit! Why do they have to be so fucking disgusting!?!!!
