Mini Rant!
Okay so our gym decided to now allow the track to be open for free to the public. This is awesome. I am all for fitness being available to people even if maybe they can’t afford it. However, the last three times I’ve run on my normally quiet little track it’s been more than irritating.
Case in point…
Day 1:
Two Moms & 3 young children.
This is wonderful, getting your kids out and active when it’s freezing cold outside… you know what isn’t wonderful? You and your friend gabbing your faces off as you meander at a snails pace, not paying attention to your kids as they are on the opposite side of the track cutting me off and trying to freaking race me. Wtf is that??
Day 2:
Random Military Lady
She SANG… and I’m not talking quietly… but at the top of her lungs the entire time she was running, with her headphones on, to whatever ridiculous girlband song she was listening to. We use headphones for a reason, so that I don’t have to listen to your shitty music… I don’t need you singing it in your shitty voice to make sure I know that a) you listen to shitty music, and b) you are a shitty singer. Thanks.
Today:
Husband & Wife (in the above picture)
Okay so these people were BEYOND rude. Not only did they completely cut me off when I was running and start walking on the track at barely a walk right in front of me… they decided that even though they saw that the only two people running the track were running on the inside lane, they needed to be in the two inside lanes. Some laps they were spread between all 3 lanes and I could barely get around them. Why wouldn’t common courtesy clue in when we are both constantly having to go around you and then directly back into the inside lane, that maybe you could be courteous and move over? They weren’t tracking laps or anything, just walking and talking… ugh.
People irritate me. I swear I don’t mind sharing… but not with these freaks lately. And it’s even more annoying because I’m paying for my membership… but you come in here for free and treat it like you own the place.
