MSU Red Cedar Message Board

Not sure who it was..... Anyway, I may take some heat for this, but I usually hit the Stairmaster for at least 30 minutes every time I hit the gym. I use Stairmaster because it's great to keep my legs in shape during the summer when I'm hiking less after work but doing more strenuous / long hikes in places like Grand Canyon.

Anyway, I got to a small gym. There's a cardio room and in the corner is the only Stairmaster. The machine faces against the window, so when you're on the machine you look outside the window onto the street and the remaining machines are behind you. Earlier tonight I got home, changed, and headed over to the gym - rained last night and it's still a little humid. I was wearing my MSU Dri Fit tee and after about 20 minutes I was covered in sweat so I decided to take my shirt off. On a side note I was listening to Bruce Springsteen Live the UK sometime during the 70s, it was re-released I think a few years ago.

So I have the machine on speed level 12, I'm in a groove, humming "these dusty beach roads and burned out Chevrolets, scream the night in streets, the graduation gown lies at your feet" and all of a sudden the angry yag (< reverse) guy comes up to me and says "Excuse me put your shirt back on please" and I was stunned, I said "I'm sorry I didn't hear you" and the guy grabs my shirt from the machine and threw it at me!! WTF???

When I left I asked another employee who complained and they wouldn't tell me, saying it was "confidential" I've taken my shirt off before and no one has ever said anything. Honestly I don't know why anyone would be offended.
