Mara Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Does Mara come across as someone you REALLY, REALLY don't want to piss off? :outtahere: Ah, it's pretty difficult to really, really make me blow up. I have a long fuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 The idiot female (in this case) that couldn't stop yacking on her phone at the gym on the treadmill right behind me. I forgot my headphones today and she yacked for 30 straight minutes and not even in English. Actually, I don't see why the non-English would matter...non-stop yacking is non-stop yackingNothing personal or offense intended. It just seemed more annoying... See, I will tell someone to put a sock in it in that situation. If it is so loud that I find it distracting over headphones, I'll give the offender about 10 minutes to knock it off. After that I'll sort of snarl "shut up!" just loudly enough to get the point across. Only done it 3 or 4 times that I can remember, but no one's ever argued with me about it. That tells me they know it's rude, but they're going to do it anyway until someone complains. Worse are the people who sing along loudly with whatever's on their mp3. In that case I last for exactly one song before saying something. The offenders are NEVER good singers, plus it is not a karaoke bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand it when people are in there screwing around while others are actually trying to accomplish something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I neither took it personally (how could I have?) nor was offended. As I said, I just don't see why it would matter.

Still though, I can also imagine you going nuts when you do reach the end of that fuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aikenrooster Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 f***ing I-95 traffic. Why did I think it would be OK to go that way? Took me 10:45 to do 600 miles. Got to the Washington beltway and gave up ... took 50/301 across the Bay Bridge and went up that way. NJ TP was under construction ...took a detour, but I don't think it helped. The GW bridge and The Bronx weren't too bad, and more stopping in CT. Wasn't too bad compared to southbound. I-95 was backed up from Fredericksburg, VA to the Potomac River ... unreal.

Narps Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 This didn't piss me off per say, but I thought it odd. My wife and I were out late shopping. We went thru a McDonalds drive thru and tried to order. At first she wanted a McDouble off the dollar menu. The dude says you can't order off the dollar menu after 11:00 pm. I thought to myself, ok maybe that makes sense and asked her what she wanted off the regular menu. A number 1 she says. A number 1 is a Big Mac combo meal. The dude says you can only order a number 3 - 16 after 11:00 pm. Their signature sandwich can't be ordered after 11:00 pm but some other sh*ty sandwiches can!? Really ? Just didn't get it...... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pervy old man.I just explained what happened. You highlighted the words of your choosing.... :) Yeah, and then she goes home and tells everyone she ran 5 miles, when for 4.2 of those "miles" she was standing on the side rails of the machine as the belt spun. My training bike at home broke this week, relegating me to the gym. The timing could not be worse, since in 10 days the place will be flooded with New Year's resolution pansies hanging all over the equipment I want to use. We're trying to get it repaired/replaced before then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
