When people put on their turn signals, get over, and LEAVE THEM on!
grrr, we know you wanted to merge!
 
ok. First of all, everyone you mentioned in that gym story should die. Painfully. Immediately.

If someone told me I could not do a deadlift "for my own safety" I would immediately begin thinking of the easiest way to accidentally drop the heaviest weight I could on his or her foot.

Also -- The Squat rack does not have adjustable safety bars !?????? I have been to some budget gyms but I have never seen that one.
 
Yes. Just google-searching "squat rack" reveals that my gym really did purchase dumb equpment. In fact, I've seen some beautiful squat racks just on google-images alone - why??? Every rack I've ever used at another gym I have found open to one bailing out of a squat. Basically take this rack, fix its safeties about halfway down, and make them permanent. You've got our model.

To give you an idea, i'm 5'4 and if I go to parallel, it's "psuedo-safety" is still 6-8 inches below the bar. I've gone down as far as I could (beyond parallel, to where I could NOT go any deeper) and it got to 2 inches or so away. I could roll the bar back off of my shoulders and leap up.

Now could I do the same thing with heavy weight on the bars? I wouldn't even want to try.
 
maybe its been said, i dunno


baby talk
i cant fucking stand it
women can get by with it sometimes...sometimes
babies can because they're babies
but men by no means ever should
 
Man, I'm starting to really love my gym from your stories. :\

My boyfriend and I go to a local, non-chain, 24-hour gym... usually around 10-11 p.m. If anyone is there, it's usually only 4 people max. and all staff is gone. I guess it's more of a guy's-guy gym and there are rarely any women in sight. The place being a 'guy's-guy' gym wouldn't be important except for the fact that my boyfriend does a large range of exercises as he really likes lifting. I, on the other hand, mostly stick to the aerobic stuff so they have everything I need too.

When no one there we're allowed to change the channel on the flat screens and turn the volume up... which is nice because we can joke around and stuff about what's on t.v. while we're on the treadmills, elliptical and bikes.

Anyway, random, but I feel for you who don't have as positive experience as I have at my gym.
 
when people get super pissy about you not responding to their texts immedietly. if i dont respond in less than 30 minutes a bunch of my friends freak out and start chronically texting me or getting pissed or rude, it REALLY annoys me. i need to sleep and am at work for a minimum of 8 hours a day and i CANT take my phone out on the floor, fucking relax!
 
When people reply with "lol" to you in a msn conversation.

Seriously, what the fuck? If you can't think of anything to respond with don't continually fucking just say "lol".

*shakes head*

I typically hate this too. If I get this a lot in a short timespan, I always end up saying something like:

Redleader: If you're distracted, we can just talk later.
Person: No, I'm not. I want to talk to you.
Redleader: Okay, I was just curious. blah blah blah.
Person: lol

tick, tock.....tick....tick......GOOD GOD, SAY SOMETHING!!!!

There's no coming back from that point.

The other thing that would bother me would be if I had written your post and then someone had done something like this:

Wow, do you (the hypothetical "someone," not hAyzzZZ;) ) want a ribbon for originality? Well you're not getting one, because that's been done and therefore is not funny. It's not even one of those things we can even laugh at becuase it's annoying. It's just annoying, and there's no salvage value at all. It's been annoying probably since caveman times.

Caveman 1: I don't like tomatoes.
Caveman 2: Here, have a tomato!
Caveman 1: Have a spear thrown right through major organs!
Rest of the Group: :|

And yet it's survived for thousands of years. And it will probably survive for several thousand more. Right at the breaking point between man and man-conqured-by-machine, one of the last pinches of humanity left in our transformed bodies will be the use of that sarcastic technique.

I used to have a fear of death, so much so that I wanted to save up and be cryogenicaly frozen. But just that mere thought now makes me want to be buried 60 feet under.

WHAT THE FUCK! Do these fucking birds EVER shut the fuck up!?????? They just perch outside my window chirping all fucking day. What the hell is the point of existing if only to chirp like a retard all day? Don't they have anything to do or somewhere to go?

Also, it seems that at night around 2 AM the insect kingdom has a conference outside the front door to my apartment. Dozens of various flying insects guard the door while thousands of ants have some sort of feast on various other fallen or deceased bugs of various types. All this is rather unpleasant when I need to exit the building for some reason, as I am mildly phobic about congregations of THOUSANDS OF FUCKING BUGS!

I went to quiznos the other day to save time. My regular bagel breakfast place was too far away. First of all… A large sandwich is $7.19 now? When did this happen? I know I don’t eat out much so maybe I miss 5 or 6 price increases over the years, but come on!

So anyway, quiznos is known for having better food that places like Subway, where I absolutely will not eat. For some bizarre reason, Quiznos seems to feel guilty about being so much better than Subway, so they decided to level the playing field by completely ruining their sandwich.

I got the large Classic Italian. Instead of piling on slices of Deli meats, he grabs a few handfuls of Deli Meats previously chopped into little 1 inch square pieces. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!??? Whose idea was this and why is he not being tortured for his violations of good food sense?

Compounding the folly, the server now cuts the sandwich into THREE pieces, so each piece is too small to have any stability, and said pieces of tiny slices of deli meat simply fall out onto my tray!!!!!!!!!!

I paid $7.19 for this shit!????? I ordered the Classic Italian, not the Classic Table Scraps!!!!!!!!!

:X:X:X:X:X
 
Bad sportswriting is rampant. Here is the most recent piece that caught my attention -- It is about the Phillies pitching Staff's (supposed) inability to strike people out). Italics for emphasis are mine.

""Now add in what we think is an even bigger factor: This is not a staff that produces much swinging and missing, aside from Cole Hamels, Brad Lidge and Ryan Madson. And that's trouble." "Subtract those three -- who have fanned 138 in 137 2/3 innings -- and the rest of this staff is averaging just 6.7 strikeouts per nine innings, which sits below the NL average of about 7.0 per nine innings."

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD!!!!!! This is terrible. You mean, if you take away the Phillies THREE BEST PITCHERS in terms of striking people out, the REMAINING scrubs on their staff strike out marginally fewer people than the others teams' ENTIRE staffs (which INCLUDES the other teams best pitchers)!????

Hey, here's another newsflash! If you take away Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, and Raul Ibanez, the Phillies do not hit enough Home Runs!

Apparently we do not have enough government intrusion in our lives already. Obama has turned over tobacco regulations to the FDA, further trampling states' rights and individuals' rights and freedoms. This is asinine. The political system in our country is a fucking joke. We have two major parties and they are both full of kypocritical assholes who have no good ideas. Yet because msot peopel are too dumb to actually think for themselves or examine the issues, this system is permanently entrenched.
 
i think fjones needs to clear his PM box. i have been talking back and forth with one of the main people that implemented the changes in office 2007 but don't feel like cluttering up this thread.

My thoughts exactly.

Fuck Obama for passing this bill. What a hypocritical asshole. He bans flavored cigerettes because it "targets children", meanwhile he is a smoker himself with 2 little girls, and not to mention the other children all over the nation who might look up to him. Give me a fucking break. Let parents be parents and teach their kids about the dangers of tobacco, why is it the governments job to suddenly be everyone's mother???? BUTT THE FUCK OUT :!

He claims he understands the dangers of cigerettes as an addict himself- but where is the personal responsibilty?? Is the the tabacco companies fault that you started smoking? No, it's your fault. Just like it's my fault that I started smoking. I don't try to blame it on anyone else. But I am fucking sick of being treated like a scum for being a smoker... they are taxing the SHIT out of cigerettes to take advantage of people's habits\addictions and then on top of it they're restricting where we can smoke, what we can smoke, etc. You know what, if everyone quit smoking, the government would be losing a lot of revenue. You can't have it both ways, claim to look out for people's safety, yet rely on tobacco taxes. Fuckers.

If they ban shisha I will go apeshit on someone.
 
Forget for a moment the continued infringement on states' rights and expansion of a centralized government (but only for a moment, because these thigns are really bad) --

Let us focus for a moment on the Pledge of Allegiance. Remember that silly thing that people recently got all upset over because of the mentioning of god? Here is how it goes --


"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"

Hey -- Government -- WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL?
 
Or, how about this one?

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!

Where is the freedom? The Liberty? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!???????
 
Hey, I found another one!

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
 
America is a brand-name. Bought and sold.


Peeves: Blinds. Who the fuck made these blinds in this house? First of all, they do jack shit to block out the light. There is hardly any difference. I have to duct tape blankets to my wall if I want any sort of decent sleep after 6 am.
Second of all: The craftsman ship behind them is fucking faulty as a 90 year old's reproductive system. You pull the string to open them, and it's stuck. So you yank it harder, and the whole piece of shit falls off. What about when you want to close the motherfuckers? You pull the string lightly, and that little metal ring unhinges. Cool, so you let off the tension to let them fall, but that god damned ring just falls back into place. So you try again, and again, and again, while the blinds fall maybe a centimeter each time. WHAT. THE. FUCK. I'd rather replicate such maneuvers on my penis. But hey, you can't just masturbate with the god damned blinds wide open, now can you!?! la;kdjfl;akdjfldk


People who are largely unsanitary with their bodies. I go to hang out with someone the other day, and they keep fucking itching themselves. I joke around, "hey man, you fiending for some oxies or somehting" His reply? "Oh yea, i think I got scabies or something." Oh my fucking god. Thanks for telling me that man, before I came over to your disgusting parasite wridden house. You fucking asshole. And then you have the audacity to start telling me you don't see the big deal about it all, when I'm start to become audibly pissed off at you? FUck you man. It's called common decency and respect for others. Hey, let's fuck! Oh yea, I got crabs!

Have you ever let someone use your computer, and you notice their hands have the amazing ability to repeatedly alternate between their nose, their lips, and their crotch, as you watch in horror at that same hand flying back to your computer mouse and keyboard each time? Where is the lysol? grrrr
