Scene: You are at the gym on a treadmill/elliptical/stair climber/bike. You are deep into your cardio workout when a man with a sweat band on his forehead and wrists gets on the machine next to you.
He starts off slow at first and then rapidly picks up his pace. And then it begins. First there are just a few drops of sweat on his forehead. Next his arms become covered in sweat. You yourself have a little perspiration going on so you think nothing of it (stupid move on your part).
Then he starts breathing really heavy and you look over to see what looks like rain coming down. You look up to the ceiling to make sure there is not a hole in it and then you realize the guy next to you is sweating so much he is dripping sweat EVERYWHERE and it is causing puddles of sweat on the floor that are so deep you could lose your leg. But oh no, it does not stop there…the sweat is now starting to invade on your space.
Now you have 2 choices:
1. Look away, try not to gag, and pretend you do not see it.
2. Interrupt your workout by moving to another machine away from the rain forest man (assuming there is another machine available) and pray that you do not step in his pool of disgustingness.
You do the smart thing and move machines. When you are finally done with your workout you look over to Mr. Sweat at the end of the machines and see that he has left…except not really…he left a treat for the next person. Clearly he thought the next person would like his sweat pools so he failed to mop them up.
Listen, if you are going to sweat like a monsoon just hit ground please be courteous and clean up after yourself.
