To all the self important people working out at the gym who don’t feel the wipe-down rule applies to you: you are disgusting. So what if you are in shape or chiseled or whatever. Do you think your sweat is above everyone else’s? No matter how attractive you are, this habit of not cleaning up after yourself makes you thoroughly repulsive. —Wiper

Probably the same trash that do not clean out lint from communal dryers in apartment laundry rooms, or drop a paper coffee cup on the ground even when there may be a trash bin a few feet away. Totally weird sense of entitlement as after all it only takes a few seconds to wipe down the equipment – or do the other things too.
So, in the absence of soap and water by “wipe” you actually mean “smear”, right?
It’s not that hard to do it for yourself; bitching here won’t change it.
OC, you clearly do not go to the gym. They have spray bottles, and paper towel. There is no smearing allowed
Those are the dudes who need a magnifying glass to find their dangly bits.
unless you are intimate with them, what the hell do you care if they have dangly bits? I suggest that you stop tramping yourself out to them, and you will no longer have any problem with their dangly bits.
GV: too true. I get my cardio for free running around our spectacular trails and the sidewalks.
I agree. It’s disgusting. And don’t even get me started on the ones that wipe the machine down with their sweaty towels.. *shudder*
Gross, this guy at my gym has to follow his gf around, wiping her equipment after she gets up because she can’t seem to figure out how to do it herself.
