I know a lot of us are worked up about [...] recent initiatives, but I just want to remind us all to be polite and courteous. Especially when using the gym facilities. It's normal to get all sweaty to work out certain kinks and all, but remember to drink your water to quench that thirst and use a towel to wipe up your exertions.

Nobody wants to sit in a puddle when they're tryna work their thighs or have someone else's sweat slick down their back when they just want to work their seated OHPs.

Okay, normally I'm all for preaching good gym etiquette.
But you made that sound downright dirty.

[griiff]

How'd I do that?

[andcaboodle]

Is the gym the new hook up spot or something?

[griiff]

Not that I know of? How'd this come off as hook up like?

[reidings]

The gym might be a little public to be a hookup spot.

[niim]

I'm not grossed out by a lot, but sticky gym machines...

[griiff]

Exactly! It's rude, too.

[reidings]

It only takes two seconds to wipe down the equipment after you use it and gives you time to catch your breath.

[griiff]

I agree. And you should be resting 2 minutes minimum between sets. More'n enough time.

[dochenka]

Yes. All of this. We are not animals.

[griiff]

Well, I mean. Technically, we are.

[highvolt]

i read what you wrote as "excretions" and it's worse somehow.

[griiff]

It'd make more sense if it was secretions, wouldn't it?

[technosignatures]

this is why i stay out of the gym

[griiff]

Nah, you should go! You just gotta use protection and wipe up as you go.

[backdrive]

What does OHP mean...

[griiff]

Overhead press.

[searlait]

If you need a reminder about basic gym etiquette you should lose gym privileges.

[griiff]

I'm not one to disagree with authority, ma'am.

[foundlostfound]

And you’d think it’d be in everyone’s best and most relevant interests to have every room here smell as neutral as humanly possible.

[griiff]

Personally, I like the scent of pine and vanilla.

[jetting]

Do you need some alone time in the room?

[griiff]

No?

[adequacies]

Dios mio.

[griiff]

What?

[iyla]

just reading this, i think i have to take a shower.

[griiff]

Probably not a bad idea. Think everyone here could stand to be a little cleaner.

[loculus]

I love language.

[griiff]

You, too, Domino?

[archiees]

Okay, you could have worded this way less, I dunno, something.

[griiff]

Thanks, Arch. I'm realising that.

[arasch]

This could have been distilled down to: Please wipe down the gym equipment after using it.

[griiff]

I was trying to paint a picture, Ara. Be poetic.

[orlaith]

fuck's sake

[griiff]

I only meant wipe the equipment.
