We received an e mail this afternoon from our office manager:
All,
If you are one of the many who use the workout room please
remember that there is another floor beneath us who have employees trying to
work. The Property Manager reached out to me today saying she has had numerous
complaints about the noise coming from our floor (mostly around lunch time)
that sounds like someone is dropping something really heavy on the floor. This
is a disturbance to those trying to work on the 3rd floor.
In the future please be considerate of the company below us
and put your weights down easier so the sound doesn’t carry to the below us.
The weights should never be dropped/thrown to the floor for
any reason. If you cannot put them down softly you may want to think about
lifting lighter weights.
Thank you
Sally Friendly* | Office Manager

I replied to my nearest and dearest with the following:
Is anyone else surprised that people from the 3rd
floor could positively identify what noises coming from a workout room sounded
like?
Have you seen these people? They get on the
elevator at the second floor with a cup of coffee and a muffin the size of a
newborn baby, sweating and out of breath and they heave themselves off the
elevator onto the 3rd floor. Sure, they’re wearing sweatpants,
but only for the elastic waist and not for their lunchtime jog.
I recognize that I didn’t make the cover of SI’s Swimsuit
issue again this year, but compared to these mouth breathers, I’m Jane Fonda
circa 1982.
The only thing heavy they’ve ever dropped on the floor is
their lunch box.
I’m just saying.
And that's why I'm a bad person. Although, I've gotten a few "amen"s in reply.
