Yeah I agree with that, totally.

I’ve been called a cheapskate before because I wouldn’t be bullied into a situation like the split the check episode on Friends or won’t go in on a group gift for somebody (especially if I already bought them something). It’s not about whether I can afford something or not it is all about you (“royal”) not getting to…

My favorite is when they bring a bottle over and by the end of the night are drinking straight from it and I haven’t even gotten a taste (yes that person has not been invited back).  

I agree on the rubber handled stuff, sometimes they just don’t react well to whatever the base of the cleaning product is (seems alcohol is the most common, but some gyms use ammonia).  I should have clarified that point, thanks for the assist.  

I’ve unfortunately been the icy hot guy before.  I used to keep a roll on in my bag and put it on my elbows and triceps to help keep the pain at bay longer.  Sorry for being that dude.  

People have starred you but haven’t answered. If it is a bench or something, always wipe it down, no matter what, it’s just good hygene. I wipe everything that has a pad on it and anything I’ve dripped on to from my head (except the floor).  Also will wipe the bars down if my hands had chalk on them.  

Nobody cares why you are there. Just because the reason is “you want your alone time” doesn’t mean you get to try and erase years of accepted gym etiquette because you are an introvert; you are in public. We, the people asking to work in or asking how many sets, as long as we are doing it politely, are not in the…

They are supposed to start policing that on 565 (or any of the roads the Statey’s patrol) more starting this month, we will see if it actually happens.

I am absolutely the jerk at my gym.  My home gym that I share with my wife.  

Got to meet him the summer after I graduated high school when he did an appearance in Pittsburgh. He really was a nice guy.

So 6 is an epidemic now?

For some, for others it’s “I haven’t gotten mine so why should they get theirs.”

Various things, but if you were to reduce them to one theme it would probably be the “status quo,” or in their moron speak: “ain’t need no fixin’.”

Don’t expect it to show up in the SEC anytime soon. This is way too progressive for the shit show down here. My wife and I were having lunch at our usual pizza-place bar on Saturday during the Alabama-NMS “game” and we were actually discussing how we both felt that these kids should be paid. The conversation came up…

I think I’ve mentioned on a comment before how much I hate the word curate used outside of the person who holds that job at a museum. There is a youtuber who I used to watch and listen to his podcast quite often but his constant use of that word drove me nuts. I can get behind the rest of your list except utilization.…

My wife and I had our second date at IHOP. We had had a first date lunch two days before but I was out and about wrangling my drunk friends and she was texting me while her shift at the failing brewery she worked at was going slow. Neither of us wanted to wait for our official second date the next night so I ended up…

That’s the exact reason I do it as well.  

I’m all about announcing my former Yinzer status by being the smug ass with the “smack the 57" comment.  

Here’s something tangentially related. When you use dumb bells or other one handed device in both hands, do you say the weight of each device or the combined? For example, lets say you use 100 lb DBs for shoulder presses. When you write it down do you write 100x3x8 or 200x3x8 in your log? I always write the weight of…

Who made that guy a star anyways???!
