I haven’t put up a good gym story in a while, so I figured that I might as well put one up now.

So there I am, sitting on the bench doing some dumbell presses…minding my own business, hanging out, doing my thing. Right? Right.

And all of a sudden I hear a Tourettes-like burst of lyrics out of nowhere that is gone as quickly as it began. So I freak out for a minute because 1) there’s no one else in the weight room besides myself and 2) where the hell would random lyrics come from?

My apprehensions subside in just a few seconds as a woman walks into the weight room from the hallway - complete with headphones and iPod.

Now I’m all for iPods at the gym and if I ever breakdown and get one, then I’ll be bopping away to my favorite music as I walk along on the treadmill, too. But there’s one difference between what I’ll be doing with my iPod and what this crazy lady was doing…

I’m not going to randomly sing out verses in the middle of the gym!

Seriously, who sits there in the gym and blurts out three or four words to a song and then shuts up? And when I say blurts out, believe me - this woman was throwing her voice out there like she was a semi-opera singer or something. Completely unreal.

I don’t know. There are just some nutty people out there, I guess. Of course, they all go to my gym, but that’s another story…
