My Treadmill Neighbor
I finally made it to the gym tonight for the first time this week - I celebrate all my small accomplishes. But that is not why I'm writing. Tonight, I want to tell you about what happens when your treadmill neighbor thinks that your headphones are working. I take my cellphone and my headphones in hopes to listen to my music while running. But as I begin to run and the music begins to play, I realize that the left ear piece is not working and I can hear the gym's music play in my left ear and my personal music play in my right ear and that is not fun. So I turn off my music but I keep the headphones on, don't ask why - I don't have an answer - maybe it's because it feels more private. Well, shortly after, a tall and athletic looking guy in his late 20's begins to run next to me and he also has headphones on - with just one difference - his work and I know this because every two minutes of the song he joins in the chorus line - loudly - "all my women, I'm riding with all my women." I think it's a hip hop song. This song is very long or he might have it on repeat because I am running for 30 minutes and every two minutes he belts out "all my women, I'm riding with all my women." The only time he pauses is when I take off my headphones for a couple of minutes to fix my shoelaces and the moment my headphones are in again, he begins to ride with all his women. Next time you're at the gym and you think you're safe to sing because your neighbor is wearing her headphones - beware! I might be listening.
