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?

[niim]

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

[griiff]

Exactly! It's rude, too.

[andcaboodle]

I'm with Az on this; it feels like you chose the most suggestive wording

[griiff]

Come on. It wasn't suggestive!


Was it?

[niim]

Just bring your own towel and wipe off your own sweat. Easy.

[griiff]

It really isn't. They even keep a few extras next to the cleaner.

[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.

[niim]

Yeah, there are some towel fairies in Engineering who try to keep the extra towels fresh.

[griiff]

And I appreciate those fairies. Some of them are pretty cute, too.

[niim]

Can neither confirm nor deny.

[griiff]

That so?

[andcaboodle]

Yes. Very much so

It's okay if your mind is in the gutter

[griiff]

But it's not in the gutter! No where near it, even!

[agueyegrey]

Someone else's sweat slick down your back? Working out certain kinks? Quench your thirst?

[dochenka]

Yes. All of this. We are not animals.

[griiff]

Muscle kinks? Don't you get thirsty when you work out? And sweat does slick down your back.

[reidings]

True and it has the added bonus of giving you something to do during that rest.

[niim]

Very so.

[griiff]

Well, I mean. Technically, we are.

[griiff]

Fine, keep your secrets.
