'I have asthma, and I was recently called out for coughing during my workout. If it happens again, what should I say?'
Recently, I was working out in my condo gym on the stationary bike next to a woman in her 50s. I have asthma, so when I go hard, I cough. Every time I cleared my throat, this lady looked at me and said, “Oh my god!” I understand that people have become pandemic germaphobes, but it’s not like she was wearing a mask, and I feel like she should be told off. Still, we’re bound to meet again, so I want to be smart about what I say.
The other day, she mentioned that she wants to volunteer for a mayoral campaign, which is awesome. The problem is that she’s picked a candidate I loathe, the kind of guy who prefers BMWs to bike lanes. I want her to back a better horse, but I also don’t want to come off as controlling. How do I broach this?Divergent politics have killed many a romantic relationship, so it’s important to get a sense of how devoted she is to this particular candidate.
