MORE Male Gym Behavior - or Why I am Wiping Nazi

From a board I frequent...

I'm on the elliptical machine and I have the sudden urge to blow my nose but I don't want to interrupt my work out. So I do my best to discretely blow my nose into my hand so I can then wipe with my towel. I proceed to do so, but when i check there is no booger on my hand but my nasal passage was now clear. I spent a few minutes looking for the damn thing. Finally I give up. So I get home and I go to kiss my wife and she goes "what's that on your shirt???????" Sure enough, there was the booger. 30 mins at the gym with a big ass booger on my shirt

And there are people who wonder why I am an Equipment Wiping Nazi? I mean, how many men have done this, horked out a big ol' lugie and then didn't know where it went? Or how about the terminal ball scratchers, those guys that are forever adjusting their set, touching their sweaty gym shorts where there is crotch sweat. Ew.

Then there is that matter of that particular brand of sweat. Have you ever noticed that many of us, male and female, leave a swipe of butt and crotch sweat on the seat of the equipment? Now, have you ever happened to see whats on a piece of TP when you have been sweating there and you wipe it out? That's right, a little bit of doodoo. So if you are butt sweating on the seat of the equipment, you are leaving a little bit of your poo on the seat. Wipe it down for the love of pete! Don't just watch it dry, shrug and walk away!

So in my gym today, I saw a nice big gallon jug of Purell. I was really glad to see that. I mean, short of issuing us rubber gloves, that's the next best thing.

I think I'm going to design a workout condom, so I can work out in pure safety from butt sweats and boogers. Sheesh.

Perhaps you can get the government to pay for your workout condom as well...I'm sure there is some way that it would benefit the economy.
