Stupid iPod

Hey fellas: Been here?

I went to work out a few days ago. Of course I had my iPod (except mine is called the Kevin NyePod) strapped to my lower bicep. It was in such a position that you could see it at the end of the sleeve of my shirt.
I tend to not use the "Hold" button on the Kevin NyePod because I like to leave it on shuffle and this affords me the ability to skip over tracks and change the volume, yada yada yada.
Sometimes I get into a groove and hit a string of songs that mesh together well and thus I don't skip around - makes sense. I like to listen to upbeat music while I'm working out and try to avoid slow songs.
I was sitting down on a bench between sets and just sort of zoning out and looking around. I glanced around and tried to see if I could decipher what album covers I could see on other folks' iPods. Now obviously, I should have been able to see them on everyone's because it's been proven that every college student who owns an iPod downloads exclusively from iTunes and pays the standard price to legally obtain digital music. [citation needed]
However, as I looked around I didn't see much so I went back to my workout.
I was facing hte mirror at this point, sitting down to do a shoulder press and on my second repetition I noticed something: I could see in the mirror that the NyePod was glowing.
Without the "Hold" button on, the pod had taken action and woken up due to the motion of my workout. The backlight went on, the album cover popped up, and it occurred to me what I was listening to...

"7 Things I Hate About You."

I was 2 reps in; now I had to decide whether or not I should put the weight down and finish the set or just ignore it and act like I'm owning my embarassing moment.
Really, it didn't matter what I did...and it won't matter what you do if this happens to you.
Either way, you're a loser.

If you're wondering why I was listening to that song or how it got on the NyePod, you've obviously never heard the song.
