Do Not Do This at the Gym: Nail Edition

Some things just should not happen at the gym. Hanging out naked and having conversations in the locker room or sauna is one of them. Talking on your phone while working out is another. It’s rude and a distraction to everyone around you.

Stumbled onto a new one yesterday. I finished up some bench presses. Sat up. Looked down. Saw this on the old, gym floor next to the rusted weight bench.

What the hell? “Is that what I think it is” went through my head. Upon closer inspection, it was what I thought it was.

Who is clipping/chewing their nails in the main weight-lifting area and discarding their dead-cell keratin remnants on the floor? Is that a toenail? This is gross, disgusting, obnoxious. If this was you or if you do this, please just stop. Now.

This is right up there with the guy who takes his shoes off to perform leg-lifts with a yoga ball by pressing his sweaty, yellowish-white socks against the ball.

It’s hard enough getting motivated to hit the gym on the regular. Stuff like this jawn doesn’t make it any easier.
