Dunno if it's just something newbies (this girl was clearly a newbie, usually you can tell by what they wear to the gym) but here's a life tip: yoga mat placement is not like Tetris. Just because there is enough width/height between one yoga mat and another yoga mat to place exactly one other yoga mat, it doesn't mean you should.
This girl in class today, comes in late and then of all the spots in the room, she puts her mat in exactly the space between me and the lady's mat behind me. Which left her in exactly one inch (literally) behind me. I don't know if she realizes this, but while it fits, legs and arms are moving around in class. Girl, I am gonna stick my foot in your face and it will be your fault.
As I was watching incredulously to her placing her mat there, I sighed and exasperatedly muttered my grievance under my breath and then moved my mat up. Then she proceeded to move her mat up too. Then I WITH EVEN MORE SIGHS AND EXASPERATED MUTTERING moved it up another inch and to the left, to which she proceeded to move her mat also in the same direction.
At that point, another participant in the class watching this also mouthed to me to be like "WTF".
So I then said to newbie gym girl, "can you please move your mat back? thanks". And thanks to this weirdo who needed to get up in my grill, I ended up having to move too close to this guy with god awful feet smell that was making me dry heave.
I don't understand it but for some reason, the newbies who lack self-awareness/gym etiquette/knowledge of their surroundings always LOVE LOVE LOVE to situate themselves right beside me in classes. In Bodycombat, these are the people who present a danger to me and my head because they are the ones who stand inches from me, don't know what they are doing and uncoordinated enough to kick in the wrong direction/into my face.
WHY MUST THESE FOLKS ALWAYS GO BESIDE ME, AND INCHES FROM ME AT THAT???
