Things That Annoy Me Vol. 3: Ruda McObnoxsia

This my friends is a special edition of Things That Annoy Me. It is special because this topic hasn't been brewing like my unpainted deck (STILL UNPAINTED!), but rather is about something so obnoxious that it vaulted right into my exclusive minima-list. (Get it....minimal list).

On Saturday when I went to the gym to do a some stationary bike workout. (My foot is still on the road to recovery, so no running for the time being) I heard some loud talking. I had seen a few people in the gym from the window and figured that some friends were there and chatting. This was not the actuality. What I came to find was the most obnoxious lady I have seen in recent memory. (Ms. Ruda McObnoxsia) This lady was in the gym working out while on her hands free device having a full on conversation and conversing at the top of her lungs. While this would have been rude even if she had been by herself, I could have at least excused her act if she was alone. But no, there were about two other people working out while she was there chatting like she had the room to herself. I quickly put on my headphones trying to block her out, but could still hear her for the next 5-10 minutes until she had enough and left.

I could not believe she would do that like no one else was there. It was downright rude and idiotic. The gym is no place to converse at the top of your lungs. I was surprised no one said anything; of course I didn't say anything either, so who knows. I just know that if she tried to do that back East, she would have been thrown out of the gym on her....well...hands free device.

So my dear readers if you ever go to the gym and use that time to have a conversation instead of working up a sweat, be prepared to get dirty looks because you will have just joined the club of the obnoxious.
