As a courtesy, at the gym where I exercise, you're supposed to clean off the machines you have just used so that other people don't have to deal with your sweat. There are spray bottles of cleaner and towels all over the place.
Today, there was a lady on a treadmil near mine, and when she finished she just got off it, and went to another piece of equipment without cleaning it off. It was so gross--I could see her sweaty handprints all over it! Yuck! She didn't clean off the second piece of equipment she used, either.
I wanted to say something to her, but I didn't know what, and I didn't know if I should. It just grosses me out. There have been times when I have gotten onto a treadmill that was still dirty, and it's disgusting.
What could I politely say the next time I see somebody use equipment but not clean it?
BTW, nobody came along to use her abandonded treadmill, so when I got done I cleaned it.
