- Just this week alone, I have witnessed three women up and leave a restroom without washing their hands. Who does this? I mean, I know there are several studies that prove that a door knob and your computer keyboard have more germs than the bathroom, but there is just no excuse for a grown woman to not wash after peeing. In all three cases, I didn’t see these women, but I did see their shoes. Now looking at shoes in the hallways at work has become like a second job. I don’t know what I’ll actually do when I recognize a pair. Possibly gag.
- Is grunting while lifting weights at the gym really necessary? I mean, I understand the occasional sound, and even a deep breath. But when you’re starting to sound like maybe you should be in the bathroom rather than at the squat rack, it scares me. Dude, we get it: WEIGHTS ARE HEAVY.
- And now for something you’ll really love! Earlier I was visiting her site where she introduced me to this site, at which point I promptly made it all about me and whined “make me an outfit! make me an outfit!” At which point she did. Aren’t internet friends the best?
Gee, I wonder where she came up with those ideas.
This actually works out really well because I already have a lot of this stuff, like socks, and Corona.

No hand washing = no bueno. I don’t understand that one bit. There should be a bathroom alarm that sounds when people exit without washing their hands.
Love the outfit Brookem made for you…especially the Corona accessory.

first of all- not washing their hands? that’s just wrong. secondly, my gym has a big sign that says, “no grunting!”… yet… it still happens. usually from the nasty meatheads.
and, the outfit! yay, you liked it! i was trying to incorporate a bunch of things that i know you like… i figured you could go for a run and end up on the beach with the brewski.

Better hydrate before you chug that Corona.
Do not get me started on the no hand washing. I am serious. DON’T.

Love the outfit! She has a future as a buyer or designer!
Hand washing - I don’t get it. I am one of those who takes an extra paper towel to open the door. I am sure the women who see me think I’m crazy, but… but really, there are people who just, don’t, wash!

I would have been so tempted to stop midstream and go running after them with my pants down around my knees, screaming at them to come back and wash their hands. I’m sort of glad you just left it at glaring at shoes.

No hand washing…wow…and you know, I almost expect that from BOYS, but girls…come on. We’re clean. You know what’s the worst for germs in a hospital room? The TV remote…made me start cleaning my own remote more when I read that!!
Ah yes, the grunting. I wonder about that too. I mean yes, I sometimes groan a bit at the end, but the ones that are doing it from the first lift…dude, get a lighter set of weights!!
That looks very much like an outfit for me too. Although I’d probably want a cute little beachy skirt, but the running stuff…ah yes…running, beach and beer. What can be better?

1) Yuck and WTF!
2) Our gym has a sign that says no grunting…LOL but in all honesty exhaling air at a quick pace does somehow help ease the struggle. I sort of grunt when I’m playing tennis and it’s not something I can help.
3) I need me a new outfit pronto! What a cool site!

Maybe the next time you see the unwashed masses you should yell out, “Don’t come any closer! I have some Purell in my purse and I’m not afraid to use it!”

Thankfully, my gym forbids grunting.
