This may seem like the most inane gear grinder, but all these dickwads at the gym who have the Business News Network playing on the locker room TVs irritate the hell out of me. (I'm looking at you, Eau Claire Y)
It's not just the fact that they have it on and are watching intently, it's the fact that the volume is generally cracked to the same volume as a Dolby sound commercial in the movie theatre, to make sure EVERYONE in the change room knows how important you are because your watching BNN.
Look, it's a gym. Put on some sort of sport. Fitness is why we're all there. If your so important that you can't be out of contact with what's going on with the multi-billion dollar portfolio you are trying to convince me that you're managing, then maybe you shouldn't be in the gym. And if you were actually that high up in the finance world, you'd be working out at the Banker's Hall club or some other high-end facility, not the Y.
So knock it off, you f'ing posers.
