Dear [Professor],

Pet Peeve #1: Guys who load up every barbell with 6 plates, then don’t bother to remove them when they’re done — leaving an annoying trail of loaded up stations everywhere they walk. Even more annoying than Pet Peeve #2: Wimpy guys who bring their chicks to the gym for the sole purpose of socializing, tying up the machines, and showing the rest of the world how nice their companion looks in fitted Nike gym wear.

Very funny, Phil.

When you come down to a real gym you will see (somewhat) less of this. I have an even greater pet peeve: guys who load up a bar and can’t do anything properly with it, either a) looking idiotic, b) damaging the equipment in the process, or (God forbid), c) injuring themselves, their spotter if they have one, or other innocent bystanders in the process, or even d) all of the above.

[Signed, Math Professor]

P.S. I bet you look pretty hot in your fitted Nike gym wear. Ha, ha, ha!
