I'm not sure what the lady's deal was--I wondered if she thought I was being racist or something by the way she glared at me.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-66539595967702458982007-04-16T14:08:00.000-05:002007-04-16T14:08:00.000-05:00What about if the TV with the show you want to wat...What about if the TV with the show you want to watch is right next to someone else's treadmill? That would make me guilty of taking one next to someone even though otherwise I'd generally prefer my own space. I don't think I'm that sweaty though.<BR/>How crazy of that woman to give you the evil eye for moving away from her? She must have been one of those uber-competitive types and she secretly wanted to race you.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712571084981694176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-2122543776824933842007-04-16T13:03:00.000-05:002007-04-16T13:03:00.000-05:00this is all why running/walking should be done out...this is all why running/walking should be done outside. as should biking.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714207579669974050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-87933464329572572982007-04-16T12:02:00.000-05:002007-04-16T12:02:00.000-05:00Unfortunately I don't have that luxury in yoga cla...Unfortunately I don't have that luxury in yoga class. I usually don't get stuck next the smelly, sweaty guy since usually it's all women. But once I was unfortunate to have that happen and the guys sweat managed to drip onto my mat! I went home and disinfected my yoga mat.ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04388135445973225989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-75277828520170455242007-04-16T11:16:00.000-05:002007-04-16T11:16:00.000-05:00Lost: Exactly!

I'm just the type of person who doesn't want to talk to anyone or be near anyone...esp at the gym, i'm sweaty, don't want to really be there anyway<BR/><BR/>Maybe she's just extremely insecure and felt like you were snubbing her.

I've had the same thing happen to me and like you, I've grabbed my things and moved farther away from them.<BR/><BR/>It's like the times you're waiting in a waiting room and there are rows and rows of seats, yet someone sits right next to you or a chair away, when they had many empty ones to choose from. Whether they smell good or not, I don't like intrusion. <BR/><BR/>and...

You can pick the treadmill furthest away from the action and think to yourself "No one will horn in on my action here" but you can bet that within ten minutes someone will come and run next to you, and it'll always be the sweatiest stinkiest person you could possibly imagine.
