I be up in the gym just workin' on my fitness...

I've been going to the gym 6 days a week for the last two months and I have to say that I've noticed some...interesting people.

Weirdest person: You all know that guy at your gym who is ridiculously, almost laughably buff. I mean this guy is huge. His pecs are so big they almost look like boobs, and his veins pop out from the bulging muscles beneath. This is a guy who spends about 2 hours in the weight room a day, pumping out the heaviest weights possible with heavy manly grunts and much panting. At some point you just have to think, why do you want to be so big? When is enough enough?

Grossest person: This girl walks into the weight room, grossly thin...I'm talking eating disorder thin, wearing grey stretch pants. This girl is so thin that when she bends over, you can see the bones sticking out of her butt. At one point she takes her shirt off to change into a jacket and you can see every single rib in her body *shudders*. And on top of all of that, the evidence of her recent cardio workout is: an enormously large swath of sweat in the crotch! I have never seen that before in my life. Either she is just unfortunate to have a very sweaty crotch or she peed herself, but either way, she didn't seem to mind. I know that I probably shouldn't be talking about her like this, because she has a serious mental condition, but still, anorexia grosses me out. Not to mention exorbitant crotch sweating. Eww.

Most annoying people: There are these two guys who frequent the weight room together. From the moment they get in there to the moment they leave, they CANNOT STOP TALKING. I mean they blab more than anybody I've ever seen there, even the sorority girls. They even talk while lifting weights, which is just annoying to me because I don't understand why people waste their time coming to the gym and doing exercises when they aren't even putting effort into it. Anyway, the constant chatter is really annoying.

Funniest People: Those girls who look like they got lost on their way to the cardio room and are lifting the tiniest weights they can find, I mean like 3 pound bicep curls. Most of those girls lift more weight picking up their purse, or backpack, whatever. Why do women assume that they can't lift heavier weights or that if they do, they'll end up looking like the Michellin Man?

The gym is an interesting place, that's for sure.
