People just don't care. The last two times I was at the gym I was running on a treadmill and got off to go get the disinfectant to clean it off and someone was already on it by the time I got back. The thing is I sweat a lot and it was all over the machine. I told the people I would clean it off before they started and they both declined. Crazy people.

As if the sweat transfer we get from people not cleaning off their machines isn't bad enough. Thanks for passing the NYTimes article along. I like their clean & dirty bags tip. Yuck!

I have my own antibacterial gel, I bring one large towel for machines, floor etc. & know which side hits the bad stuff and I bring a smaller towel just for my face.

Ick. I don't even like the movie theater b/c you don't know who hasn't washed their hair and been lounging back in that seat.

I ALWAYS bring my own towel and use hand sanitizer before and after. With all that sweat dripping and people grunting, who WOULDN'T?
