It seems like everyone’s an entrepreneur these days. The proliferation of influencer culture has given more folks than ever a chance to be their own boss, whether it’s creating content or running a small business. The increasing frustrations of the modern workplace have also driven many away from traditional jobs and towards gigs. It’s a blessing and a curse. It can mean the freedom from the constraints of a 9-5 on the one hand, and a pressure to constantly hustle on the other hand. 

But if your grindset starts interfering with innocent bystanders, maybe it’s time to take stock. Reddit user u/jenthecactuswren shared a story of some such careless entrepreneur, who was operating his side hustle out of a shared apartment amenity. Members of r/mildlyinfuriating had some words of advice and plans of action for the helpless gym-goer. Sometimes the grind must cease!
