Dog’s Breakfast – example

This is a true account of what just happened…

[Scene] in the gym. 

I’d just finished using the lat pull machine and got up to to use the bicep curl machine to my left. The woman on the cable rowing machine on my right said:

“I was going to use that machine next”

“?” I just looked at her in confusion.

“I won’t be long” she continued. Meaning that it wouldn’t be long before she finished with the rowing and started doing her planned bicep curls.

“Are you running late for a meeting?” Me, trying to be helpful.

“No, I just don’t like waiting”

At which point, without a word, I inserted my headphones, cranked the volume, and started on my bicep curls. Aka option (1).
