So, I take this Pilates class twice a week at lunchtime, and I try to get there early so that I can be sure to get my chosen spot (which is in the back corner, the better to spare my classmates from having to watch my spastic contortions). Anyway, there’s this woman who always comes in right before class starts, and who insists on wedging her mat into a too-small and too-close-to-others space, just so she won’t have to be in the front. In fact, it has gotten to the point that I place my mat slightly farther away from the wall than I normally would, so that when this woman inevitably puts her mat too close to mine, I have some space to move away from her. I do not approve of people with no respect for personal space. Also, if you show up late to class, you have to be in the front. It’s a rule as old as grade school people…

Back up off of me...

Do you, by chance, take Pilates at First Baptist downtown? A friend of mine goes and has been asking me to come.
No, I've been taking a lunchtime class out at Innovation Park where I work.
I'm glad it's not her, then!
