Gym Observations P. III

So, it's the third week in January.  From my experience, this is typically the make-or-break week.  If you have made it this far with your diet and exercise, you will most likely be able to maintain both for a good duration.

Bad habits take (2) weeks to break and good habits to form, or so I've read.  I'm doing good maintaining my pace, and am planning on increasing it soon.

Yesterday however, was unusual.  I get off work at 4pm (I come in at 7am), and this allows me to hit the gym before the 5pm rush hour of when the majority of people get off work.  This ensures that I have my choice of eliptical machines.  But, yesterday, I came in, got dressed, and went upstairs to hit the eliptical.  Holy Shit!  The gym is PACKED.  WTF?  People usually start peetering out by now.   Is it because of the holiday?  Is it the regulars who possibly waited for the new resolution people to stop coming so that they wouldn't have to deal with them?  No clue.

So, I finish my workout, go downstairs to the locker room to cool off while listening to Adam Carolla podcasts on my Zune (best Xmas present ever!).  I dry off, change into dry clothes (50 minutes on the eliptical on a cross training setting, and going as hard as you can tends to make one pretty sweaty), pack up my back pack and head out of the locker room.

Now, the gym I go to has a locker room within a locker room.  This locker room is an additional cost and provides some privacy and nicer lockers, wood benches, and a carpeted floor.  I've no clue as to why anyone would spend xtra cash for this perk, but, to each their own.

Anyways, the privacy is limited...  It's partitioned off, but the partitions and the door are glass, so all it provides is privacy against noise and smell.

Well, as I'm walking past this "special" locker room (it's on the way out of the main locker room), I witness the following scene:

Elderly Gentleman #1 is dressed, sitting on a bench on my right, facing my left, talking to Elderly Gentleman #2.

Elderly Gentleman #2 is on my left, facing right, talking to Gentleman #1.  He is standing, and has his right leg up on the bench, and he is leaning his right arm on his leg while talking to Gentleman #1.  The benches are somewhat close, maybe (2) feet apart.

Gentleman #2 is butt-ass naked.  Leg up, balls dangling down.

WTF!?!?  Dude!  Wear a towel!  Why do I have to witness this shit?  First Goatse.cx Dude, and now Old Dude Gravity Balls.  Arghhh.

Week #5.  Still no coffin.  I'll be calling later today and see if I can get a hold of the douchebag supervisor who supposedly "owns" my account and find out why the fuck I don't have a coffin to ship my broken elite back to them.

I wonder if I threaten to make a complaint to the BBB if that will get them jumping.  I doubt it.
