Okay, I understand after coming to Europe that deodorant isn't a universal entity. Actually, I don't understand that. It is the easiest thing to use, and even if you don't care if you smell like a dead animal, the people around you generally do. Especially me.(Fitness in Ireland).
Ever since I tried on a pair of jeans last week, I realized that they either shrunk a lot or I got huge in Ireland. I'm hoping for the first, but leaning towards the second. Anyway, after I realized this, I started going to the gym. Daily.
Since I have become a regular at the NUI Maynooth Sports Complex, aka the smallest gym known to man, I have come to a few conclusions: Fitness in Ireland
- Irish men do not care if they smell. I actually think that they enjoy it.
- Irish men have no shame in wearing shorts that show 90% of their hairy, white thighs.
- Irish girls do not wear sports bras. Enough said.
- The non-Irish, Russian-looking guy who has a huge upper body, wears a belt, and grunts all the time does not actually come to the gym to work out. I caught him excessively creeping on an Asian girl yesterday. The best part was, he tried to spit game at her, and she didn't understand what he was saying. Amateur.
- There are 6 elipticals and the worst smelling people decide to go on the one right next to me and suffocate me with their B.O. when there are 4 other ones open.
I generally don't bring a camera with me to the gym. Luckily, Christine did, and she took a picture of the sign at the gym that is literally the most ridiculous/comical thing I've ever read.
Let's take a minute to discuss this sign. Fitness in Ireland
- Wear clean and appropriate gym clothes: fail
- Be aware of personal hygiene-- make sure you don't smell: epic fail
- Don't ogle (what?) other gym users: creepy grunting man FAIL
- Don't heavily pet another member: not even sure how to respond to this one
- Don't make unnecessary sound effects while exercising:another fail by grunting man
So, yes I do go to the gym so that I can eventually fit in my jeans again. But I also go because it's literally like going to the (smelly) circus for free. I can't wait to go today and see what smelly characters are grunting, skipping, and ogling today Fitness in Ireland.
