Get Off!*

To the woman who spent twenty minutes on the abductor machine at my gym Sunday:

I appreciate that you were enjoying the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar, even though I stopped reading it myself when they brought in the new Editor-in-Chief, Katherine Betts, I think? (hey! I was right!), and never got back to it even when they replaced Betts with Glenda Bailey (even though I loved Marie Claire under Bailey’s stewardship. Go figure, I’m fickle).

What I don‘t appreciate is that you were sitting on the machine, not working out, which meant no-one else could get on the machine and actually use it for more than just sitting.

I hope your thighs turn into mush. I hate you.

Sincerely,

Megan

*Not the Foxy song; that’s “Gett Off,” anyway.

Why not just say “excuse me, since you’re not using the machine, could you relocate your lazy thighs somewhere else?” Okay, maybe not exactly that but, you know, a polite “get the hell off that machine, wench” wouldn’t have been out of order ;)

Yup, I should have said that. I am such a wimp. Of course, venting here is no problem, but when it happened? Wimp.
