Blood Sport: Gym Etiquette

Imagine this scene: You walk into the gym, ready for your workout, you walk up to the platform toss your gear off to the side and then you see it. The barbell is covered in blood. More specifically, the barbell is covered in blood exactly where you are going to be grabbing it. Bummer. Epic Fail. Somebody did not respect the barbell. Because the bar is now un-tastefully repainted exactly where you intend to use it, you cannot possibly avoid the problem. You now need to track down some form of sanitizer so that you can avoid sharing a blood pact with a complete stranger.

Today’s lesson, Don’t be that guy (or girl). Thank you for being kind enough to anonymously redecorate the barbell for me; however I do not appreciate it. You could have cleaned it. You should have cleaned it. Next time you will clean it. I suppose that last bit was just wishful thinking.

Really folks, you need to clean up your mess. Sometimes that bar gets a little too close to the shins when it comes up. That is ok (well not ok from a technical standpoint, but it’s certainly not the worst mistake in the world to make). Just remember that when you make a mess it is your job to clean it up, not mine.
