Props to you for using the gym. Even more props to you for working hard enough to work up a sweat. But did you know that when you do work up a sweat, it strengthens the already pungent aroma of your respective cologne, perfume, or body spray?
What begins as a mildly annoying scent quickly becomes intolerable - sickeningly overwhelming in the confined space we share. My eyes sting and tear up, my head begins to throb, my chest gets tight as my asthma protests, my lungs all but shutting down. And I just want to work out, just like you are doing. But there is just no escaping you.
And so, boys and girls who soak in the scent before hitting the gym, if you could lay off the cologne, the perfume, the body sprays, perhaps until POST work-out, that would be most appreciated. C'mon, relish the sweat. You've worked hard for it. And in the meantime, you can spare your fellow gym users the watery eyes.
Thank you for being considerate and abiding by the unspoken codes of the gym.
Sincerely,
Me
