Flip-Flops in the Gym? Gimme a F'n Break!

I saw this group of guys working out yesterday and they were all wearing flip-flops (beach thongs/ whatever). WTF? After noticing this I noticed that their wheels probably hadn't been worked on.....EVER! All upper body and bird legs. I just started laughing and wondering to myself how is it that they can look in the mirror and not notice their bird legs. I can't wait to see one of them stub a toe!

I will say though, there is these 2 guys that come into my gym with cell phone ear pieces on. They walk in, do some stretches then walk over and sit on the bench and make phone calls. Do about 1 set every 10 minutes. And talk on the phone.

Close! We have a group of boneheads that come in with dress slacks, dress shoes and a wife beater. I understand that most including myself go the gym straight from work, but damn take some extra clothes.

We have some guys that wear flip flops too, but they are always asked to leave due to improper gym attire. The corporate tools are asked to leave too, but sometimes they slip through when it's really busy.

Tallahassee, Florida population between 100,000 -200,000 and it is a college town. With FSU, TCC and FAMU here you can't swing a stick and not hit a college kid! So I figure that is why they don't say anything to them!

Isn't it great to live in Northwest Florida? At least you live in a metro area that has somewhat of a city mentality. Here in P.C., everyone has city attitude with redneck mentality.

They used to anyhow. Now there are so many damned condos going up with restricted beach access that it is impossible to get to the beach.

Last week we had "ballet guy" in the gym. He does his yoga shit and stretching in the middle of the free weight area. Weird ass shit though. No use of the weights, he's holding poses for like a minute or so (poses with a leg up by his head like he's getting fucked in the ass with his eyes rolling into the top of his head), and at a height of 5'10" or so, weighing at most 145 lbs. Damn I wish I was lean like him but fuck that if I can't lift! This guy is like a circus freak show.

I guess we're all in the gym for different reasons, but go to the right area for your shit. Don't be doing the froo-froo shit where people are trying to really train.

Are you there to stay cool or are you there to lift? Besides if you are doing anything where you stand on your feet, there is no way for you to get a proper stance. Then there are still the other safety issues. Not only yours, but how many time do people catch the toes of those things on flat ground, let alone racks and other machines. What if you are carrying a weight when you trip, where does that weight go? Are you going to do cardio in flip flops? Why go to the gym if you are not going to take it seriously? I'm not trying to point this all at you, I am just proving a point to anyone who reads this and dosn't see the problem with it.
