Finally. Something ridiculous enough to share. Alternative title: Jingle Whales. I go to the gym 5-6 days a week and I don't really talk to anyone, I get anxious easily so the only people I really speak to are the staff and the few people I have seen in the locker room regularly or friends from outside of the gym who flag me down inside. Anyways, today, as usual, I was going about my routine like I do, eyes away and just checking my rest timer and rotating through the benches when 2 fatties, one smallfat and one whale, came to the Smith machine by the dumbbell rack wearing stupid Christmas elf getup, striped tights, green shorts, Santa hats, you get the idea. But their outfits had bells. Annoying bells. I had just got off the incline bench and was going to put my weights up and grab some smaller ones for  flat flies  and they started bouncing around, jingling and whispering to each other. Ugh. Whatever.  Something made them excited. I go to work and they are still on the smith machine, doing half assed squats and between each are whispering and jingling. I finally finished and go to put my weights up and look in the mirror and catch eyes with a fine bro doing rope pulls on the cable fly behind me. He smiles and I give a quick grin and start to wipe down the bench and grab my crap to go upstairs to the treadmills. But the hams, they saw the exchange. As I'm picking my stuff up they are glaring at me. Still, no longer bouncing and jingling,  one has her hand on her hip (smallfat) and the other is just a lump, staring. Wtf did I do? I start heading for the stairs and the guy starts my way, he starts a bit of a conversation about Tuesday being his chest day too and how he's seen me a few times and just wanted to say hi since I'm always by myself, he asked if I was new to the area, etc. I talked to him a little, told him I wasn't new I just like to get in and out and I don't like crowds, then tell him about the jingling girls kind of creeping me out. He said they were creeping him out too, because they were watching him the entire time since they got there. Ah. He said hope to see you around and I went on upstairs. So that obnoxious display was a ham mating call for the holidays. Gave me something to smile about on my run.
