#5: Redux

So this nice, unsuspecting guy got on to Treadmill #5 today. He started running and the damn machine attacked him.

His iPod suddenly dropped off of him, landing on the moving treadmill right under his feet, nearly tripping him, and crashed onto the floor behind him.

Having the history with Treadmill #5 that I do, I found myself giggling and had to pretend to wipe my face in my towel. I felt badly for laughing but I was having a hard time keeping a straight face.

Buddy picks up his iPod, puts it back on and goes back to running. iPod falls off. Again! Clatter, bang, trip, crash!

I nearly burst out laughing, all the while thinking how evil that machine is.


Now I'm thinking that maybe I need to change the name of this blog to Treadmill#5 is evil.com


I hope buddy's iPod is ok.

Maybe you could get an exorcism for treadmill #5. Try googling for it. There's bound to be some whacko that performs them on gym equipment!

Victoria said...

That is not a bad idea at all!

Runs off to do some googling ; )

My dear Ryan,
I am trying very hard not to laugh. But it doesn't seem to be working!

I think it wouldn't be so funny for me if I didn't know the exact sensation you're talking about. I too, have tried to be cool getting off a treadmill and received nothing for my troubles but a mass of spinning and a floor that did not want to stay where it was supposed to be.

As for your Superman pose... LOL! Ahem. I mean... ouch. Definitely ouch.

I empa and sympa thize. Perhaps we could do some form of across the seas counselling program?

In conclusion: Thank you for my early morning chuckle ( I had a good sleep in this morning so noon is kind of early right? ) and well done on an excellent treadmill story! : D
