I read magazines at the gym while on the running and eliptical and stairmaster machines. Frequently, these cards will fly out of the magazine when I turn a page and float down to the floor nearby. I usually won't pick it up because I don't want to break up my workout. But sometimes somebody else will pick it up and hand it to me or throw it away before I'm done, which makes me feel like a jerk. I will try to stop them before they pick it up by saying "That's mine, I dot it", but some people will still pick it up.
My question is "What's the proper etiquette?" Should I pick each stupid fucking card up as it falls, or is it ok to wait until the end of my 15 min on the machine and then get it? I do try to scan the magazine to get out all these fucking cards before hand, but inevitably, one always remains and manages to fly out.
