Friendly Reminders [NOT 18/12/24]

Hi, friends!

Let’s offer some friendly reminders. Some things that maybe we forgot about talking or acting.

I’ll start.

If a person is at about 10 minutes on a treadmill, and the man next to them is at 43 minutes, don’t say to the person at 10 minutes “you’re done, right?”

(my experience today in the office gym, thanks asshole)

If you notice a female colleague and you think to yourself, “wow, she’s looking different somehow,” don’t ask her about it. “You look different, what’s new?” – solid chance the answer is going to be something like “I’m wearing lipstick.”

Happened to my twice this week already.

  1. I got a friendly reminder just this morning! Better Half said, “Mattie, your Christmas present came in last night. I think you’ll really like it. Did you order mine yet?” Shoot. No of course I didn’t. I don’t even know where to begin, and if we add so much as a pack of gum this hoarder house is going to collapse under its own weight.

    The Collyer brothers had nothing on us.

      • I’m still fucking waiting for a package from FedEx because I have to sign for the damn thing and “by 8:00pm” doesn’t exactly make for a helpful window in my situation. (Delivery’s already been attempted twice, too — while I’ve even been fucking home.)

  2. My wife goes to the gym & is always complaining about rude people & then asks me to come?  Have you not met me?  I hate stupid people & have no problem telling them that so….i exercise at home or walk in my peaceful zones.  Serenity Now!

  3. There’s plenty to do at a gym if the machine you want is busy.  Mix up your workouts.  If the treadmill is busy, do some waiter’s carries.  Use light weights.  It’s cardio as hell.  Turn it into leg day.  Better still do some deadlifts, which are not so much an exercise as a metabolic magic trick that will do you wonders.

     

    • Or you can do three ounce curls where you hold your phone and stand right next to the person hogging the machine you want to use and alternately text and bring the phone up to your face and yell into it.

      Text, yell, text, yell, and after 20 reps the machine may be clear.

  4. i dont comment on peoples appearance….unless like…their zips open or some other shit what needs fixing…

    my foot in mouth disease is far to serious to risk those kind of comments otherwise

    *farscy accidentally offends and gets called to hr in 3….2…1*
