People at the gym

Why do people at the gym pin their locker keys to their clothes.

It's bad enough having to run next to a sweaty old chap without having to listen to his keys (which have big metal keyrings on) jangling about for an hour!


Jingle jangle jingle jangle jingle jangle jingle jangle jingle jangle jingle jangle jingle jangle jingle jangle

SHUUUUUT UUUUUUUPPPPPPP!

Why can't they pin it to their hand towel like the rest of us? In fact.... why dont they TAKE a hand towel so that they can wipe their sweat off the machines when they've finished?

Rant over ;D ::)
Just run, run and keep on running!

    its funny you should say that, as I spun away, the mental picture I had was of my wife doing floor exercises during her pregnancy to ensure she didn’t literally wet herself at my jokes.

    She's a right pretty girl as well (the girl at Spinning, as well as my wife)

    I quite agree 160!

    And you can be sitting in a room full of people doing your pelvic floor exercises and no-one would know.....

    Don't get me started on stinky men in the gym.....I work in one, you wouldn't believe some of the personal hygiene habits some people have (or don't have).
    Being the straght talking Yorkshire Lass that I am, I tell people to stop sweating all over my treadmills & get a sweat towel. Even more annoying are the people who insist on wearing their filthy, muddy outdoor trainers in the gym - the mud sprays off their shoes on the treadmill & goes everywhere. I sent a bloke outside the other week to bang his shoes & get rid of the mud.
    Then there's the people who don't pin their locker key to anything & lose it............. I could go on for hours........
  • After our first child was born, the health visitor came round to see my wife and newborn.

    She advised my wife to do make sure she did her pelvic floor exercises. I offered to join her.

    After they both stopped laughing (3 minutes later), it was quietly explained to me.... :-[

    Sweat can react with deodorant / various fabrics and have an 'ammonia' smell to it.
    Doesn't mean she's wet herself!
