Rumor mill
So there I was at 3:15 am at the gym. Pool to myself and generally mulling over stuff that needs to be done today.
In comes a bunch of 21-ish kids and they seemed shocked that there is someone in the pool...and embarrassed. Okay, color me curious.
4 guys and 2 girls and they finally decide that they are going to do "it". Don't know if they are under the influence of hormones or something else. They all go into the men's locker room and come out into their underwear...thinking that the wee towels they have are covering such things. Then they head into the sauna. I leave them be and continue swimming laps.
Out they come after what seems like way to long. And they all jump in the pool. I figure as long as they stay out of my lane, then I am good.
The guys decide they want to race. Think of a bunch of kids yelling, "Look at me! Look at me!"
One of the guys decides he wants my lane and gets in right as I am going by him. "Easy there, Sparky." He seemed genuinely shocked that I was there and moved back out of my lane. His buddy (who is recognize as an employee of the gym) then shouts, "You should totally hit him for that!" As I go by him again, he starts in with, "Yeah, I was a dickhead and you should totally hit me."
Friends, in my life I have learned that there are times to just ignore or escape with humor...this was not one of those times.
I stopped, stood up and said, "Okay, so what you are saying is that 'dickhead' is your safeword." The employee gets really wide-eyed and says, "Holy crap! I know who you are. Sorry about that. Dude, let's just go over to this far lane."
5 minutes later they all left.
So, here is the $64,000 question...
What kind of stories are going around about me at the gym???
