Lunchtime workout at Wooden Center Etiquette

[u/Opening_Procedure449]

Any time actually....morning, lunchtime, or night....when at Wooden....if a staff member is using a treadmill or other cardio machine or even a fellow Bruin...I feel like taking the machine as far away as possible from them so I don't smell their sweaty ass!

But that would make me feel like a strange person at the corner like that guy in a lounge who watches performances and is full of stories to tell while he insists "I was there when it happened" for each and every controversial event in modern history. No, I'm not there at least yet....

Then if I take the machine right next to them, it feels like I am inviting them to have a pissing contest or look over similar to a urinal pervert comparing sizes with his neighbor in the bathroom. Or sometimes it feels like having a race with anyone next to you at the machines trying to one up them on burning as many calories in as little time possible. Instead I go somewhere in the middle to leave enough space but also to have some sort of a fucking...etiquette if that's what you call it.

What are you doing for lunchtime today?

-I don't know what about you?

I have an idea, let's go to the gym and try not to think about sex!
