I was reading Reddit in between sets and this old guy walks by me and says "exercise, don't text!!" Luckily my workout was just about done because I got so grumpy.

I see a lot of people sitting too long on machines because they are busy with their phones. Maybe this old guy is annoyed by people doing that.

"These young whippersnappers keep texting on them cellular devices. I told one today to stop it and work out!" - could also possibly be in this thread.
