cell phones in the gym

Carmen

usually, i hate them of course, like everyone. well... everyone that isn't on thiers.
but i've recently decided to do some cardio every day after i lift. so, i finish benching (which sucked today) and get on the treadmill.
the next 5 minutes were by far the most boring minutes of my life.
THEN, this man gets on the treadmill next to me and within a few minutes, his nextel walkie-talkie type phone thing chirps. i can hear it CLEAR as day and he decides he needs to yell into the thing to be heard, although the whole gym could also hear him.
apparently, his wife, who is named mona, has come back home and is packing up her stuff and leaving him. he's terribly upset by it and keeps saying "MONA, I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU MONA. WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITHOUT YOU MONA?"
mona said thats not her problem and she's had enough. that he's not changing and she wants something else. a new life. apparently, with a new man that she's already found.
then they start arguing over who gets what. she feels the stereo is hers cause her brother gave it to them. he feels her brother gave it to HIM.

suddenly, that 30 minutes on the treadmill FLEW by!!! i LOVE cell phones in the gym now!
 
yet he's not concerned enough to wind up cardio early and head home?

lol... thats what i was thinking. only because he was almost yelling in my ear, i was tempted to say "why don't you GO HOME?"
 
I'm just glad they just banned cell phones in the locker room at my gym. With all the cell phone cameras out now, I'd hate for my derriere to show up in the EliteFitness.com Galleries.
 
you should have punched him right in the mouth, or in the jugular - because that would have been funny.
 
I avoid the LR just for the fact. Once i was getting ready for a contest and weighing in the LR and the guy told I would be lighter if I took off my trunks. i said, yep, and told him I subtracted 4 pounds for clothes
 
I think bringing your cell phone to the gym is grounds for instant execution. I can't fucking stand it when people are standing there occupying a piece of equipment I want to use and gabbing on the god damn phone. It makes me very very angry. Ok I'll stop now before the rant really gets going.

No we don't. It sounds like flexygel2 Sr.
I've never had anyone, so I am entertained by people's stories that have had someone and lost them.

i dont even go in the bathroom..i piss out the backdoor in the weeds
:chomp:

me too.
i mean... ha ha. lol
scotsman... the gym i started using is in this part of the island thats... hard to explain... but everyone in the cardio area was on their cell. and in velour sweats. i feel like a slob there. and lonely, since who the hell would i call while on the treadmill that can't wait till i get in the car????
 
cell phones are so goddamn intrusive. the worst is when people use them at restaurants. why do they feel the need to talk LOUDER than everyone else? should be banned at restaurants.

the other night i was out to dinner and saw some mom out with her teenage daughter. the mom, who is probably some yenta real estate agent, talked on her cell phone throughout their entire meal. what an awful woman.
 
there is this kid in my gym and he likes to wear a tank top and look at himself in the mirror while talking on his cell phone.
 
LMAO SP that is a great story.

I do take my cell phone to the gym, but leave it in the locker. I figure if work can't do without me for an hour or so then I need a damn raise.
 
i leave my phone in the locker as well. i'm more annoyed by ppl who chit chat with me while im working out then their cell phone conversations. I would rather them talk on thier phone thne talk 2 me. i find that intrusive.

I go to the gym to work out.. not to socialize.. if i wanted company.. i would bring a friend
 
What the heck was he doing at the gym...tying to sound upset it seems like, but not that upset
 
We have a girl at our gym who wears those velour pants & yaks on her cell phone while on the Elliptical -- loudly.

I actually answered my cell yesterday in the gym cuz it was my step daughter & didn't know if it was important, but I kept the call down to about 1 minute....

I'll come to your gym sporting my mesh shorts and sleevless shirt with all the tats showing. Then staring insanely at all the people on phones while I start talking to the "voices" about how much it annoys me. Especially after deadlifting when I am covered in sweat, blood, and chalk. That should go over well at your gym.

You'd be safe. Technology isn't up to par on camera phones...they don't have a widezoom feature yet.










*joking*
again
 
Mobile Phone as we call them in the UK
Especially it been used in the gym IS RIDICULOUS
when u go to the gym u go to the gym to workout and not fucking chat on your phone
People who do that don't take there workout seriously and are usually there to pick up or check out the talent ( Meaning Rock Hard Bodies)

Well I'm not a bulldyke but I can sure see why they would be turned on by it.

I have a scanner that has been altered to pick up the older non digital Cell phone
frequencies and cordless phones.

You can't believe the shit I used to hear with doods and chicks going at it
either pissed off or hot and bothered on their phones..
Drug deals going down, women cheating on their husbands and vice versa.

People simply have no concerns with airing their dirty laundry in public these days..
 
Although it is annoying that should be added to the "you know your hardcore if...... thread" Your know your hardcore when your gf calls you at the gym and tells you she is leaving you but you refuse to leave before finishing your workout. HAHAHAHAHA

i was on a treadmill too and it made ME want to go home just hearing it.
 
What state do you live in?

I've never seen anyone use a cellphone in my gym, maybe cuz it's mostly younger people working out and they're not assholes like them dumbass old people.

What you shoulda done is kindly tell him to "shut the fuck up please, sir"

My guess was right. Still, you should set an example and tell him to shove it.
 
I think it was a set up and he was just trying to let you hear it so that you would talk to him or know that hes single now!!!
If you start finding love notes on your windshield then you know who did it!!!
