Martoons

Hi mARToons fan!

Yes – weight room etiquette is a favorite mARToons topic.

And you know what I’ve noticed?

Weight room goers who “tune out” their surroundings by wearing those huge headphones might want to ratchet the volume down a bit so they can hear others who may want to communicate with them.

Remember, a WEIGHT ROOM IS A PUBLIC PLACE.

This week at the weight room, I gestured to a user (who seemed to be finished with a machine) that I wanted to use it if he was done.

He had his headphones on so all he saw was me pointing to the machine.

“Just one set,” I said but he didn’t hear that and slinked away thinking I was kicking him off the machine.

“Just one set!” I repeated, but he couldn’t hear.

So, possible bad feeling.

Hard to socialize, even minimally, if you have those headphones cranked up to drown everyone else around you out.
