playground love
'this is a gym. not a social club.'
that was the flippant retort by a wizened old hag before making her exit with a flourish. leaving my fren and i seething with rage and disbelief.
at times like these i wish i have the quick wit and indignance to throw the slap back into the perpetrator's face. a ten-second delay sets in, and then it's too late to give her wat she deserved.
funny innit. how a completely bitchy, thoughtless and irresponsible remark from a perfect stranger can get us down for the entire day. i have a full set of gym etiquette that teaches me not to hog the machine as i chat gaily to my gym partner, nor am i one to blab noisily while puncturing girlish inane conversation with hyena laughter. suffice to say, i can proudly declare that i take my workout at the gym very seriously thank you very much.
so i wonder wat disturbed the bitch's very inner being. our youth, that seemed out-of-place in a supposed adult playground aka California Fitness, or the fact that we were actually talking (which may be unacceptable to fitness purists, who believe exercise shld be completely serious and not child's play. grunts allowed onli and no chatter)?
watever it is, it is pure narrow-mindedness. and sheer self-righteousness.
tho i speak of the nasty things i'd like to do to kids and my peers sometimes, i'm not that intolerant towards the frivolty of youths. it is a right entitled to youths alone. besides it doesn't speak anything bout their characters. hence i'm not bout to play the role of a stern tight-assed teacher and go around censuring them.
