say what? what did you say? huh?

anyone who knows me knows that i hate repeating myself.  i find it incredibly tedious to have to repeat things i've said. 

last night at the gym, stacey told everyone what we were doing today and that we wouldnt need to set up for tonight's class, that it would be all done for us.  about 2 minutes later, the oldest bird in the class pipes up, "what are we doing tomorrow?" and when that was answered asked, "what do we need to set up?"

i dont know how stacey puts up with that because it fucking irked me when she asked those questions.  i wanted to say, "were you even HERE when she JUST told us?"  it's  not the first time the oldest bird has done that either.  it's a daily occurance.  it's like she completely checks out when stacey talks and then waits two minutes to ask her to repeat herself. 

stacey stayed calm, but i would have snapped at her and said, "i just told you...were you not listening?"  i think fitness instructing must come with a huge trait of patience, of which i have none, in order to do it successfully.  one stupid question and i'd be out of there.
