I go to a gym a couple of times a week, and I'm becoming increasingly bewildered by the number of people that come straight out of the showers, open their lockers and stand there buck naked whilst they check their mobile phones.
Most of them even answer or make calls before they get a stitch of clothing on them and I have to wonder - just HOW important is that phonecall??
I am not a mobile phone hater, as I have one for work and one for personal use; I think they're an invaluable asset.
But, not so valuable as to knock getting dried and dressed down a place on the list of 'Things To Do After A Shower'.
Even if, God forbid, it was a call to say something dreadful had happened to one of their nearest and/or dearest, they'd still have to towel off and put some pants on wouldn't they??
It's An Outrage!!
Even worse are the one or two very, VERY strange people who actually take their phones INTO the gym with them.
Perhaps it's a cutting edge personal trainer, who works from home, manages twenty or more clients, and just rings each of them up now and again to say "Go on my son - one more set!", or "No pain, no gain!", or "Push it to the max, big fella!".
Then again, it's probably the other-half, reminding them to bring some milk home... just like every one else.
