an open letter to the woman by the water fountain at the gym

Sweetie, we need to talk.
No, really, stop chewing your gum and looking at the mirror while you do your squats, and stop making sure every hair is in place just long enough that we can have this conversation.
When you decide to fill up your 1 liter water bottle at the water fountain and there is a line of people behind you waiting for a sip, it would REALLY REALLY be curteous of you to let someone get a sip because it takes you like half an hour to fill that thing up.
Curteous.
Yes, it's a word, look it up in the dictionary.
It means being nice to someone.
Nice.
Yes, that's a word too.
It means, well, it means not being an asshole to someone.
What's that? Yes.
You CAN put "not" and "asshole" in the same sentence.
there ARE people out there who it can apply to.
Anyway, it would be one thing if you had the bottle openining pointed to the water and were filling it up, but it seems to demand too much motoric skill for you to maintain that position because you keep moving your hand and missing the water, so it takes about 3 times as long to fill up that bottle.
Oh, and when you finish filling up the bottle it seems like you're adding insult to injury when you THEN take a few sips from the fountain while STANDING THERE WITH A LITER OF WATER IN YOUR FUCKING HAND!!!!!
Just thought I'd vent.
Get back to your shameless ogling of yourself in the mirror.

Bad Day? :) I feel the same way I can't stand when people do things like that at the gym. It also drives me crazy when people display their phone as a status quo on them as if they are bragging or think they look cool. The gym is there to work out, if your interested in meeting someone there talk to them to break the ice!!
