What happened to common courtesy?

It’s Tuesday.

Aka – Zumba day! 

For the past few weeks Zumba has been my Tuesday night activity, and I ALWAYS look forward to it. 

Tonight it was a miss, though.  And it was my fault.  I had plans to meet farmgirl at Goodlife to go to our Zumba class but I got off a bit late from work, struggled to find something quick to eat (mini pizza I popped in the oven.  Nice choice.. I know… *sigh*) and by the time I got to Goodlife the lineup was insane! 

The class only holds about 30 people – fire marshal's orders.  We were just past that.  Boo. 

The good news is that Nubody’s now has Zumba classes so we’ll try one at Nubody’s tomorrow instead.

The gym was PACKED today.  There were no lockers so I guess it was a good thing that we coudln’t attend class.  There is no way I could leave my purse out in the open unlocked. 

You know what grinds my gears – people with the common courtesy equivalent to that of a sand bag:

Since there were no lockers available, farmgirl and I took our time getting changed.  The Body Pump class was just about to get out so we knew someone would come get their stuff and leave.

As we were waiting, a girl came out from the washroom area – all showered, changed and ready to go.  She opened her locker and appeared as though she was getting ready to leave, but instead of grabbing all of her stuff and letting someone have her locker, she took her sweet ass time standing in front of her locker putting on a sweater, then lip chap, having a sip of water, putting stuff in the locker, only to take stuff out again (at one point we thought she was re-locking up her stuff to leave overnight because it was clear that she was not going to be working out again) packing clothes, rearranging her bags, fidgeting with her lock, her keys... 

Seriously?

Everything she did was also at a snail’s pace.

I have taken shorter poops than that!  (OK – I may have the ability to power poop, but still.)

Just get the hell out of the way!  Grab your shit, move over and let someone have your locker.

One of my biggest pet peeves is people lacking common courtesy.  It’s in all aspects of each of our lives.  The above example and the few listed below really get me going! 

Someone emails you?  Email them back! 

You ask someone for help?  Acknowledge the help they’ve given by giving a simple, 'Thanks’.

Walking into a store/building?  Hold the door for the person 1 step behind you!

Anyway – instead of Zumba, we had decided on going for a run.  Wouldn’t you know it… all of the treadmills were occupied.  It was sure a busy night!  We rode the bikes for about 10mins but I was having some weird tummy/bladder issues (felt a lot of pressure in that area) so we decided to call it a night and took off.

So in the end this is a good news story:

1 – We did make it to the gym!

2 - I burned 80cals on the bike lol

3 – We rescheduled our session to tomorrow night where we’ll zumba our booties off and run like crazy women!

Oh – sorry if some of you thought the poop talk was TMI.  I simply see it as: everybody poops.  :)
