It is important to understand people. I have a basic understanding of people, but there is something that still baffles me. It wouldn’t bother me except that it does. Once I understand why people do this, I will shave a strong enough understanding of people to convey my message in a manner that they will enthusiastically support. What I don’t understand about people is their inability to drive three blocks to work during a snowstorm, yet venture out a half hour to drive to the gym I work out at.
I normally work out twice a day: 10-11AM and 3-4PM. The gym is usually sparse during those time periods. Treadmills are readily available and it’s easy to go from machine to machine without waiting. Today was a totally different story. I should have gotten the hint when there was a wait for the wristband gym members get when they first enter the gym. The lockers were crowded with naked middle-aged bald fat men. Every piece of workout machinery was being used. Every treadmill, rowing machine, and other machine I don’t usually use was in use. Even every urinal and stall in the bathroom was occupied. (The urinals on the gym floor were vacant, but I am too shy to use those.)
Here is what separates me from most people: If I can’t drive to work, it’s because I can’t drive anywhere. I’m not going to go on a 30-mile journey if I can’t drive down the street. If the needs arises to travel a long distance for pleasure, I just call in sick and go drive. (I don’t do this now because I work out of my home and I need the clients to survive.- I don’t get sick days.)
If you are one of these people who will go on a road trip after not being able to go on a two block trip due to snow, please tell me why you do it so I can better understand you. And please go to a different gym.
