Default Water Bottle Etiquette

I'm not sure if thats how u spell etiquette, but whatever, Does anyone else hate these people in the gym with water bottles who just sit at the fountain for like 10 minutes filling up their stupid bottle. I dont care if you have a bottle, just let the 3 second sipper go before your 3 hour H2O extravaganza, unreal.

You did spell etiquette right.

When I'm filling up my bottle, I always look over my shoulder to see if someone is waiting. If they are I either say "oh, I'm sorry" or I say "go ahead". Usually in either case the guy is good about it and says no problem, finish filling up.

It's just common courtesy.

yea, I pretty much wave all the sippers through, or give them the nod and go ahead... and make all the bottle holder wait thier turn.. If I'm half way full or more, I just finish up or stop at 3/4's and continue on my way.

lately, I just fill up my bottle if it's busy in the bathroom with the sink... it all comes from the same place anyway.

I usually don't mind waiting in line..some will let me through and I'm like that's okay. If I see it's going to be a while and I'm in a rush I don't even bother..i'll just come back later..no big deal.

the one that gets me, is when you wanna use some space, or some equipment, an theres some little punk there, messing around with his so called 'mates', using the worsed form ever - clearly couldnt give a sh*t what happens in his no-workout, an your left in the cold - makes me feel like ripping there balls off, an stuffing them up there ass, so the next time they sh*t, they sh*t all over there balls

Yeah, when I work out at the station, I bring my 64 oz. water jug. Never needs refilling.

I just bring a gallon with me. I may look crazy but I'm never on line waiting for the rust infested water-fountain.
