Editorial comment -

Why is it people are completely incapable, or unwilling, to turn off electronics they turned on when there's a little note on every television in the gym asking:

- Keep the volume at a respectful level, and
- Turn the equipment off when finished?

And then, when you ask them to shut the son-of-a-gun down, they look at you like you should do it with your remote control? Excuse me, but I don't have a remote...(REDACTED)!

I have more respect for the iron-pushers doing their weight training by the day...in comparison to the cardio-geeks (yeah, yeah, and such are some of you...I know!).
