The Trident

Issue date: 2/14/07 Section: Distractions

There is a widespread misunderstanding at W&L that friendship and common courtesy extends into the gym area. It doesn't. Everybody has been there: just as you are the grossest and sweatiest person in the gym, someone you'd like to hook up with -or recently did- walks past you, looks at you, and says hi.

Nobody wants to realize that they're in fact looking like shit, and by saying hi, you're forcing them to do exactly that. Therefore, the only right thing to do is to act like an arrogant jerk and not make eye contact or whatever.

Of course this doesn't apply if you find yourself in weight lifting section, where manly pats on the back is the main way for letting other people know that they're the man.
