Gym Pet Peeves (Part 1)

I'm giving this a "part 1" because I know I have so many pet peeves about the gym, it will take several posts to cover them all. But let's start with what I saw this morning ... 

I go to the gym around 5:30 or 6 every morning. And I look like HELL when I go. Why? Because it's 5:30 or 6 in the morning. It is still dark out. There is no need to do anything in the morning besides roll out of bed, brush my teeth and put on my shoes. 

Yet this morning when I walked into the gym, I noticed two separate women who were wearing more make up on their face than I've worn in the past week altogether. And their hair looked like they had spent a good hour on it. One lady was doing one of the leg weight machines, and the other was on the stair climber, although it looked more like she was window shopping through the mall with a vacant look in her eyes. And they were both wearing pink. Hot pink. Really? This is not the first color I want to see in the morning. Or any time throughout the day for that matter. 

I just don't get it. If you're going to the gym, you might as well work hard and sweat. I mean, you're already there, why not make good use of your time there. What purpose does it serve you to slather your face with an inch of foundation and hairspray your hair up in an intricate do? I know there's some good looking guys at the gym, but any guy in his right mind is concentrating on working out that early in the morning, and not on picking up chicks. And if he's not, he's a complete douche (I will save this subject for a separate post entirely). 

Both women were in the cougar age range, so I get it that you want to look your best for you potential little cubs. But do that when you're going out to Hank's or Blue Martini after work for Happy Hour (all of you Las Vegans out there know what I'm talking about!)
