2. The gym does not belong to your grandmother.
3. The water cooler is not a spittoon.
4. Sweat deposited on the machines after you are done will not miraculously disappear.
5. Midriff baring workout gear is not to be confused with love-handle baring workout gear.
6. When you stare at someone's reflection in the mirror, that someone will know.
7. Setting the machines to the lightest weight and doing 10,000 reps will annoy others.
8. Free weights do not fly back to the racks by themselves after you are done with them.
9. Grunts and other sexual sounds made after each rep are not music to the ears of others.
