Why at the "Y"?

Why do people feel it nessasary to talk on the phone while working out? I don't need to hear about your weekend and what you did. I pay money also to go to the "Y"(YMCA) and workout. And how can this be the ONLY time you have to speak to this particular person out of your day? This was actually said by a women while she was on the sit down and lean back exercise bike. I'm pretty sure she didnt even break a sweat on this machine, which kinda defeats the purpose. And the ONLY time you have...i'm sure you're a stay at home mom that put your kids on the bus a long time ago, but you could'nt find time to call this person except at the "Y". Maybe the person on the other end of the line isnt that important if you can't find time during the day. I just want to know...why at the "Y"?
