Good.   That is your mother and that is absolutely disgusting behaviour. What a rotten attitude you have.   If that was me I'd have had a sound thrashing, and I'd deserve it.   You aren't to be pitied

Then why mention it at all?   Are we meant to feel left out?   Your parents are incredibly patient. They do a lot for you, and they push you very hard by the sounds of it. I'd be careful who you badmo

I am so sick and tired of macho assholes at the gym. Every gym. It's universal.

 

You know the kind. "Look how much weight I can lift/curl/press!" They grunt and yell so everyone knows to look at them.

 

Then these titans wander off and leave 600 lbs loaded on the bar or the Hammer Strength machine. After all, they are weightlifting gods - it's beneath them to unload it. Besides, they're in a hurry. Got some more grunting to do.

 

Well, I am striking back. If the gym where I work out refuses to do anything other than post signs telling these dicks to re-rack their weights, I am dropping weight plates right where I find them. Not MY job to re-rack everyone else's shit.

Tonight I left six 45 lb plates piled on the floor next to the machine where one of the aforementioned dickheads had left them. I wanted to use the machine, but I'd have had to carry them across the floor one at a time to re-rack them. And I only needed 90 lbs on there for myself. Yes, I re-racked mine when I was done. I always do.

You're not thinking positively about that...

 

It's an extra workout and you're building functional strength. tongue.gif

they don't realize how ridiculous they look and it makes there heads look small not to mention most of them have chicken legs and look disproportionate. i stopped going to gyms and started using weight bands, light weights, calisthenics, walking, and biking which i enjoy more than when i went to the gym where you would have to deal with meatheads and listen to crap music. i really hated going to the gym but i enjoy doing stuff on the outside.

Don't let it piss you off too much. They're more laughable than anger worthy. Likely, they've got small johnsons and are actually screaming their frustration while military pressing 400 pounds.

45 minutes of a packed bus ride home with a screaming child the entire way. Seriously, parents...I understand you can't stop the screaming, but you CAN stop it from driving the rest of us completely insane. Get off the damn bus.

And what, walk home? Take a taxi that maybe they can't afford?

Gotta agree with you here, GG. As much as the screaming would grate on my last nerve, sometimes there's nothing to be done. I'm sure the parent is worn thin and embarrassed to boot.

I have to say that as a bus / train commuter for 20+ years, I have a new perspective on screaming children thanks to GG. Sometimes there is more to the story than meets the eye...

Mara and Natch,

 

Thanks for what you posted. I realize that I can sometimes come across as kind of short-tempered when it comes to stuff like this, but I've experienced it so many times I just can't be silent.

 

Yes, a screaming child grates on everyone's nerves. But at least, for the bystanders, eventually they'll go home and it'll be over. In a sense, it's never over for the parents.

 

This screaming child, in invisi's case, may not have had any "issues," but yeah...I guess a little perspective and some Zen-like "this too shall pass" would help those annoyed by stuff like this.

You? Short tempered? Naaah laugh.gif

 

Seriously though, I don't think anyone who knows you can say one word about how you react to things. As they say, before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes....

 

 

...that way, when he gets angry, he'll be a mile away...and barefoot. laugh.gif

OK, you know who you are, and you've slightly dissapointed me by sending me a chain letter.

Please, anyone who reads this and has my e-mail address, leave me off the list if you're sending a chain letter.

Not for me, but someone very close to me is suffering badly and it's wearing me down...

 

I'm supposed to be the one who sorts/fixes things, but what do you do when things keep going wrong faster than you can deal with them?

 

Oh well, moan over....time to go and do something about it instead of whinging. yes.gif
