Explain the author's frustration towards people who talk on the phone while lifting weights at the gym.
I'm betting if the husband of LW1 works out at a gym, he's one of those fools who actually talks on the phone while lifting weights. From time to time I see this. If only these clowns knew how idiotic they looked. I'm not kidding: Men and women lifting up weight as they are talking on the phone! Who is SO important that they can't wait till before or after the workout to speak to? And no, these hardly sound like emergencies (a la "Hey Tom, your dog just got run over by a car," or "Hey Emmie, your house is on fire."). Really, an hour's workout, and they MUST take the call inside that hour WHILE they're literally in the middle of a set? And need I say they always talk loud enough for those around them to hear? Talk about self absorption.
