inconsiderate

Went to the four seasons gym last night. Got fed up after 20 minutes. A lady was using one of the machines, whilst yakking loudly on her mobile phone all the time I was there. Don't people have any consideration for others anymore?

it's NOT ALLOWED to use the mobile while working out. They kindly ask you to leave it with the receptionist. I would also ask to leave with the receptionist YOUR VOICE or YOUR FRIEND.... because when two or more gals coming to gym "to exercise" they end up sitting on one of the machines and chatting and laughing... or even if they use the cardio while chatting, they walking slowly and loose…I doubt if it helps...you cannot concentrate on working out while you are chatting... i personally like to feel my every muscle when i am on the machine.. i guess it doesn't help too much when you just sitting in the GYM, even if you are doing it on the machine...you kindda have to put some efforts in, don't you? …

some people just think the world revolves around them. Next time just stop the machine and point her towards a chair where she can talk in comfort :)

Why you complain here ? Are you paying your gym membership to QL or to FS ??

If it bothers you go and complain to the hotel staff if you don't have the courage to

face a lonely women... Or was she just ugly and that bothered you more ?

hi mila even if you show them such signals, some people just dont get it. better to tell them politely. but expect you may get some negative reaction.

You cant do anything about it some people really born without consideration with other people!

you should just inform her that you are waiting. next time do like this, typing your nail on the side of the machine till she get irritated. lOL

Everybody is right everybody is wrong it depends where you stand.

she most likely thinks it makes her look "important" to be talking on the phone whilst working out...WRONG!!!

just keep your cool always.

remember that you are in a mixed society - different upbringings, etc.....

next time, suggest to the management or tell the attendant in that gym that MOBILE PHONE IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE AREA.

Dnt worry, it is a lady...LOL :)

Every lady hopes that her daughter will marry a better man than she did. And is convinced that her son will never find a wife as good as his father did!!!
