When we talk about etiquette, we are not talking only about good manners. It is not only how we ourselves behave properly but how we make others feel comfortable through appropriate conduct. Some may think that etiquette is just restrictive policies dictated by the society. However some may perceive it, etiquette gives us some order in a society so that we will know what ways we should follow that will be comfortable for everyone in the society.
In most cases, many are now very tolerant in so many things and ways around us. Though there are still boundaries you should not cross or you will get disdain from other people. That is why if you do not want people to shun away from you, you must show some respect to other people.
However, aware or not, many somehow continue to show inappropriate actions. And in addition to this, they seem to enjoy doing annoying actions or behaviors in front of other people, leading many to think that these people are doing it purposely to gain attention, oblivious to the fact that all they are gaining are the ire of people.
One classic example is the gym area. Even a nice neighborhood like Arbor Lakes can possibly have annoying residents who lurks in areas like the community gym. Some just find it funny but most of the time, people are just irritated. Would you find it funny if you hear “Mr. Hotshot” hollers very loud during work out. Some breathe exertion and grunting is understandable but if everyone is already starting to look around and your screams are louder than the gym music, you may be out of order. Most of the apartments in Arlington have complete gym equipments that they allow their guest residents to use. Unfortunately, some leave these equipments all sweaty and sticky without a care for the next user. Other show-offs on the other hand are so conceited that they look at people, with every muscle flex, who happen to unintentionally look his way. It is bothersome because he is trying to put meaning on this, obviously. Avoid using your gadgets inside the gym area. Some people whose attention on their exercise counts or concentration may be diverted if they hear you talking nonstop with your cell phone or hear that familiar sound of their favorite online game. And people, try hitting the gym in your proper outfit. Not doing so is very distracting for others.
Hopefully, this will help those who do these unintentionally. And give other gym users some peace of mind!
