When Towel Hitting Becomes Uncomfortable Gym Conversation

This morning at the gym I was doing my thang on an elliptical machine when the girl next to me got down and in the process accidentally snapped me with her towel. I wasn’t going to let it stand.

Me: You just hit me with your towel.

Her: Oh!? I’m sorry!

Her: Look. I have to go. What the hell do you want me to do?

Me: Let me hit you back.

Her: …even now?

Me: Yes. Thanks. Have a great rest of your workout.

Her: Yeah, whatever.
