More rudeness at the gym!

So I work out every single day and I hate my set routine that I do every day. It's just my thing. Well I had finished all of my machines except for one bicep weight machine and there was a girl probably in her 30's sitting on the machine I needed, on her cell phone texting. I waited and she kept sitting there texting. So I walked around and did other machines, and 10 minutes later she is still sitting there texting. So I walked up to her, smiled and said " hi!! Are you almost finished on here?" And she looked at me and said "no! I' still have a few more sets!" And then she went back to sitting and texting!! So instead of walking away and making her day, I parked myself right on the machine, leaning up against it just staring at her. I figured that might work, but she kept on sitting and texting for a few more minutes and then pumped the weights 5 times and stopped. I was still standing there at the machine staring at her. This little game went on for at least another 10 minutes! Finally she rolled her eyes and got up and left. No apology, nothing.
I can't imagine ever doing that to an old lady standing there waiting to use a machine!

Ahhh yes, people do that in my gym as well.
I remember one sitting on a machine and taking a call. 5 minutes later, he is still sitting there, on the same machine on that call.

@Teslin I hate that. My gym location is very small, with only one of each type of machine, so it's a huge inconvenience. No staff was to, so I couldn't say anything about her or I would have. I wish I had thought to simply take a picture of her since I was standing there just a few inches from her staring right at her. Then I could have shown staff.

@Mardrae It sounds like 1 of those 24/7 gyms were all members have their own key ?

@Teslin yes. I love it because I can go every day, even if it's Easter or Christmas
