Gym Freak Of the Week!!

It has been forever since I have done a GFoTW!!! Again, I think I am becoming immune to their freakish ways, but yesterday I realized that I need to snap out of it! These people are freaks!!

This realization came when I saw this for about the millionth time:
I'd say that this old man is at the pool probably 3 out of every 5 times I go. He does not exercise. He comes solely to soak up the rays that shine into the pool house from the skylights above. The greatest part you ask? He lays there for about 45 minutes, and naturally the sun rays slowly shift - and he moves with them!!!! So I'll start my work out with him in the farthest lane from me and by the time I am done he has his arms and legs hanging over the side of the pool into my lane!!

This old man comes complete with a huge belly, bright red swim trunks, and a white sweatband. I'm tempted to let him know that he can sunbathe at a public pool for less money than his gym membership and that he will get a constant flow of rays.... but I don't think he would listen.

Weird! Wonder why he needs a sweat band if all he does is lay there?

A local radio morning show started reading off freakish craigslist ad's and called it "Craigslist Freak of the Week"... it's my reminder that people are freaks!!

Next time you see him ask him if he applied sunscreen? I bet it will totally catch him off guard! :)

That is super weird and I cannot believe the stuff that happens in the pool area of your gym. The cartoon could not be more spot on! LOL.
