What Would You Say if You Saw Someone Exercising While Waiting on a Queue?

While waiting for a jab at rpa, I saw someone starts doing a high knee walk on the spot.

It doesn't disturb others I think, it wasn't excessively vigorous exercise.

But I wonder what you think about it?

    • There'd be bus loads of people in RFS overalls and dry-as-a-bones and akubras in minutes and every station 'crossing live' to the scene…

    I never judge anyone who is trying to improve themselves even if its in a public space.

    Unless it directly affects others. i.e. weightlifting in a carpark is fine until someone needs that carpark for their car.

    • Breathing incredibly heavy while lining up for a vaccination for a deadly virus might be less than ideal.

    I would assume they weren't sure about the rules so probably just exercise just to be safe.

      Cop drives by and fines everyone except the guy exercising, lol

  • I'd ignore it even if the person was having a seizure.

    Do a word search to keep yourself occupied next time:

    • I'm sorry, but bikies is oldskool.

      The hip kids now call Taliban to sort out this kind of thing.


      Too soon?

    I once watched someone doing post-workout stretches on a packed bus in peak hour. Weird but it's not like I could tell them to stop.

    At least I got to remind myself never to be that guy.

  • It provoked such thought in you to post it as a question on OzBargain.

    People will never cease to amaze me…

    • It provoked such a thought in you to post a reply to this question on OzBargain.

  • These types of troll posts were getting funnier and funnier until I realised they were posted by actual people and it concerned me a bit

  • I guess everyone was masked waiting in line?

    Did he take his mask off to exercise ?

  • Hope they were wearing a mask. Vigorous exercise is aerosol-generating.

  • Go on, one more rep! You got another rep! Push it out! One more!

  • "Do not concern yourself with that which does not concern you".

  • My jiu jitsu gym has been closed since lockdown so I am always looking to get some live rounds in disguised as a citizens arrest then I get my exercise in as well!!!!

  • I would quietly laugh at them. There is a woman at my train station who does exercise while waiting for the train. She looks bloody ridiculous.

  • I am pretty young but have arthritis (+ some other conditions) so whenever I have to stand in line my lower back and legs hurt. So I do some standing quad stretches while standing. I have always tried to keep it as low profile as possible and be v mindful of people around me.

    OP, i really do hope this is a troll post - never thought people will be noticing me and asking on forums about how to fix my behavior (or similar)
