Gym Etiquette

又是看Real Simple發現的好東西. 相信不少人都愛去做gym, 也看過網友們談在fitness center遇著奇人奇事, 千奇八怪, 或許這兩篇連結文章你們都會有共鳴.

"Basic Gym Etiquette":

• Don’t hog the water fountain.
• Replace free weights and dumbbells after using them.
• Don’t change the channel on a TV meant for public viewing.
• Don’t leave during the relaxation segment of a yoga class.
• Cancel at least a day in advance for personal-training sessions.
• Remove the extra weights from the machine when you’ve finished so the next person doesn’t have to.
• Mark your territory by placing your towel or water bottle on the machine you’re using.

你又有什麼要求想加上?

我不喜歡去做gym, 多年前曾玩過一年. 近年都是跳舞, 不過有時也同樣遇到一些不太合作的同學. 有人總是不愛把長長的頭髮弄好, 只紥起一條低低的馬尾, 即結在頭顱底頸背上的, 問題是她流汗不少, 課未上到一半已髮尾盡濕, 當做大動作或轉圈時, 站在她身旁的同學便可能被她的汗水"飛"到, 我領教過數次, 實在不知道如何開口告訴她.

我是有點潔癖, 不過踏進舞室都不會太介意上一課的人扶過的扶把有沒有清潔過, 只好課後自己用濕紙巾抹淨手臂及用消毒紙巾抹雙手. 但也有人比我更挑剔的, 親眼目睹一同學一找到自己在扶把旁的位置便用消毒紙巾抹淨扶把才開始, 果真厲害!

多咀人當然也有, 不過我仁慈, 有時迫不得已都作回應狀, 有同學說: "你都仲睬佢!" 哈!

偶然也有些脾氣不太好的姐姐/師奶, 不過人總有長短, 我有時也頗包容的. :)
