I just got back from the gym, where I managed to do Tabata on ONE AND A HALF HOURS OF SLEEP because I cannot sleep because it is SO FUCKING HOT ALL THE TIME OMG. Anyway, that feat of strength aside, I managed to still be a complete moron at the gym tonight.
You see, I always make sure I go to the bathroom right before class starts, lest I miss one of the many hideous Tabata cycles for potty time. So I did that, and then I washed my hands like a good Non Gross Person. And then I realized I had a minor bra situation that needed tending to. Being not only Non Gross, but also VERY MODEST, I decided to deal with this issue in the confines of a bathroom stall. And so I did. And I came out at the exact same time as someone else (there are 8 or so stalls in the gym locker room).
I had a moment of pause. Do I wash my hands again, even though it would be entirely unnecessary?
Consideration One: My hands are perpetually dried out due to the fact that I wash my hands approximately 745 times every day at work, followed by a generous Purell bath (courthouses are dirty, yo). This unnecessary hand washing would create a substantial risk of increased hand-driedness.
Consideration Two: I do not want to appear to be a Totally Gross Person who does not wash their hands.
I decided to side with Consideration One, which I immediately regretted, as I got a sideways glance from Girl at Tabata Whom I Do Not Like. But then, if I did wash my hands, I would look like someone who only washes their hands upon receipt of said sideways glance.
Neither option was really all that great.
But now I am filled with woe, as Girl at Tabata Whom I Do Not Like surely thinks I am now a Totally Gross Person.
REGRETS.
