Gym Mugs

When I see people at the gym, sometimes a story automatically comes to mind. Then there are those whose tales are like a taking a bite from a hot pepper - it slowly intensifies. Today, as I was trying to workout, a women I call "Heddie" kept coming up to me and asking me questions. "How can I make my shoulders bigger? What do you do?" I told Heddie that it takes time. I showed her a few moves too. But I just wasn't in the mood to be giving out free advice at the time. But there she was, about every 10 minutes or so, asking me another question.

So who is Heddie? Heddie isn't married. Her insecurities don't allow her to get close to anyone. Instead, she uses the gym as a social vehicle - never having to become intimate with those she meets (especially the gay ones). Besides that, she's a penny pincher. Heddie doesn't like to spend money on frivolous or exuberant items - including personal training sessions. She'd rather follow others around, imitating their every move, while trying to look inconspicuous (a trick she learned from Grace Adler on Will & Grace.
