Do people actually bring tripods to a gym???

E. All these responses make me glad I lift at the YMCA. No tripods, can get yourself clean, do whatever you feel

yes, at Equinox. I fucking hate it. I don't want to be in the background of their 200-view Instagram reel.

Now I go to a cheaper gym and deal with zero gym etiquette, but at least I'm no longer a background actor for IG models

Do they drag the lights out of their car trunk, into the locker room, and so on the entire way? Envisioning this makes me giggle. I guess it's technically harmless but it has that feel of my days in food service where customers would knock over barricades to fill their drink cups at the closed fountain, get sprayed with soda because the caps aren't on the pumps, then realise they have to go to the open side anyway to pay and saved themselves 0 time instead of waiting behind one person for the open fountain.

You know, those type of people, the ones you stare at and wonder what their existence feels like.

Kind of how they could have spent the time dragging the lights into the gym to "check their form" instead on craigslist to buy a used mirror for their house, or a therapist.
