About cell phones in the gym

[badazzwhitedude]

I remember there was a post about this not too long ago. I do bring mine in case someone I know contacts me for an emergency, which did happen one time and I had to leave the gym at the drop of a hat. Otherwise, I just answer the phone and tell them I will call them back later.

Well, last night I found a good use for my cell phone at the gym. There is a guy there, who is pretty nice, and I ask him for a spot a lot of times, so he helps me out. But he really likes to talk a lot (too much). I am too nice to someone who is trying to be nice to me to tell them to suck my ass cause I want to work out. So, anyway, while this guy was going on and on, I was holding my phone in my hand, and decided to make it ring with the push of a couple of buutons. Of course, I did it discreetly, so that he didn't notice. That was the end of the conversation, when I had to "answer" the phone and started having a fake conversation for a couple of minutes. Then, right back to working out. Worked like a charm.

Just a helpful hint I thought I might share. At least for those of us who don't tell people to go to hell.

Then again, there is always Nathan's approach, by squeezing out a nasty protein fart while they are talking to you, and letting that rank smell get rid of them.

Qiute simply, i am starting to get extremely hostile to cells in the gym. It is a new phenom I wish this post would cease to encourage. Every little twirp in the country is marching into the gyms with them. #$%^%$ brutal. The same little #$%^%$$ that wouldn't be on it all during prime time are blabbing away during the cheap seat evening hours. Gets on my nerves. Put it away when at the gym. Take a quality hour for yourself. Wear a walkman or just tell buddy to f off. Pretending to talk on cell just to get a guy from jabbering at you is killing a fly with a hammer. enough. there thats better.

Don't get me wrong. I DO NOT encourage having a conversation on the phone at the gym at all. Like I said, I bring it in case of emergency ONLY. I think people look retarded chatting away when at the gym.

If I hadn't brought it this one time I did have an emergency (which wasn't long ago, I might add), well, I'll just say it would have been a disaster. Some also have to bring their phone with them everywhere (for work, etc,).

That is the precise reason I wear headphones. It discourages assholes from bothering you.

I see guys come into the gym, do a set or two, then make or take a call, talk for 10min or so, repeat that a few times then leave...
then they complain that "I workout every day, why dont I get good results ?

hahahhaa...that reminds me of a couple kids in high school that would carry a cell phone and a pager in the mall, then call the pager from their cell phone and walk into a crowded area just so everyone could hear their pager beep.
anyone know why when i try to quote someone or paste something in bold it only pastes part of the quote?
