The Man with the Bag: The Investigation Continues

Because I love you, and I'm an ultimate super creep, I stopped mid ab exercises to capture the man and his big bag on my trusty iPhone.  He was just so close and doing the reverse PecDec and presenting such a perfect opportunity.  Yes, it was a total stocker move.  I admit it.  But how could I not snap a picture when, for the second time, this man and his huge bag intrigued me so very much?  How could I not share this moment with all of you in the hopes that I either confuse the crap out of you (like myself)  or come up with a viable explanation.  So, here it is in all its glory.  THE BAG.


What the hell, dude.

A few facts/thoughts/general points that have been messing with my mind:
  • That white thing on top is a towel and the bag is NOT unzipped.  Is it a glorified towel holder?
  • As noted, there is a large bank of shelves ten feet away.
  • But what if they were full?!  Nope, with seven people in the gym they were not full.
  • But what if he was afraid someone would steal his awesome shit?!  There were seven people (maybe) in the gym.  And again, the damn shelves were ten feet away in clear sight.
  • If theft was a problem why not use a locker.
Seriously.  What is going on here?!

  1. I love the labels in the picture. Rather curious as to what's in the bag as well. I hope you find out one of these days!

  2. Have you thought of sidling up and trying to work it into a conversation? I'd be willling to bet he'd be more than happy to show you if you asked...

    1. I could do that, but the likelihood that such a move would be totally misconstrued as flirting is not a chance I'm willing to take! :P

  3. Maybe he does a lot of cash business on his job and stops by the gym on his way to the bank to make the deposit? Or it may be he's just worried that if he puts it on the shelf he may leave without it. I know if I put it where I couldn't see it I'd forget it, sure as the world. Sometimes even if I put it where I *can* see it, I'll *still* forget it.

    1. But you CAN see the shelves...clearly. Especially with all the machines he uses. I realize in all actuality it's likely totally mundane, but it's still fun to think otherwise :P

  4. Very true. Maybe bring along a workout buddy and let them ask. Hell, I'd walk up, tap him on the shoulder and tell him his bag is vibrating. Just to see if he looks inside. But that's me.

  5. You know what also really drives me fucking crazy is how people do their mat exercises Right in front of the shelves! Why dont they just go a little further to the side them where there is only a bench. That way I wont have to weave in and around them while im trying to get to my water! Arrrgg

    1. I generally agree, however I also see it as a general flaw of the gym that this is pretty much the only spot to do ab/mat stuff. If there are several people trying to get stuff done you sort of don't have a choice but to somewhat block the shelves. Personally, I like to go into the new studio to do my mat and bodyweight shit if it's not in use...that way I know I'm not blocking anyone.
