Interesting holiday. Another night we were sitting outside enjoying some nice beverages when my buddy boy noticed his shoes getting wet. The chap opposite was urinating under the table. Too lazy to go inside and use the facilities.

Then I was offered free drugs by a HUGE man if I agreed to have sex with him. I was better looking in those days but I politely declined.

I thought everyone knew what Tackle was, perhaps its just an english or mabye even just an irish expression. Ask Colin Farell. By the way the area he's from is quite posh so I've idea how he got to speak like that man, u know what I mean.

What is everyone's opinion on peeing in the shower at a gym?

I couldn't do it. disbelief Then again, supposedly it's completely sterile. But who wants to smell a pissy shower? feeling ill

Same goes for shaving (legs or whatever) at the shower--don't want nobody else's hairs clogging up the drain. Do your hair removal at home!!

So I'm at the gym doing my little cardio thing yesterday, and I did what I always do when the gym's empty, and turned on the big stand fan and pointed at me while I was working out.

Right in the middle of it, some schmoe walks in, casually switches off the fan, and starts doing cardio right next to me. I noticed this guy as someone who's done this to me before, but the climate was temperate enough that it was much easier to just let it go. But not this time.

"Actually, I just turned that fan on," I said as non-threateningly/casually as I could (maybe too much so).

"Oh, well," the guy said, "I get a cold when I'm near fans. Sorry."

To which I said, somewhat defeatedly "It's 101 degrees outside."

"Yeah," Schmoe said. "That's pretty hot. Sorry."

So I stomped off the exercise machine and did the rest of my gym stuff, which actually went super well because I was all pissed off and aggro.

But what's the etiquette in this situation?

If I were the schmoe, I would have

a) Waited until I was done; or

b) Asked if I needed the fan before just turning it off.


Absent this man's ability to be considerate, I've decided that next time he does this, I will simply turn the fan back on. If he protests, I'll remind him that we did it his way last time, now it's my turn to have the fan. Next time he can turn it off again. We'll take turns. I'm fine with that.

What would you do in this situation? Why do people treat public spaces like their living rooms? How can I learn not to get riled by people who have entitlement issues? Why do people want me to get swampy?


what you do is:

say, "Look you worthless fuck, I just turned that on. If you fuck with it, I will fucking smash out your skull with it. You worthless fucking piece of shit"...

and look at him with no expression, completely blank and in control.

oh wait, that's Robert Dinero... or is it Joe Pecci?

i think all public social settings should have etiquette. as conservative as the USA has gotten this decade, i wish we'd go back to a trend where everyone was obsessed with manners. i'd totally go all red state and get hot for ann coulter or whatever it takes.

Aaaaah, the General Public...

You gotta love 'em. neutral



That is why I loathe, I mean absolutely LOATHE, going to the drivers license office or the vehicle registration office--I LOATHE it.

The general public is so ill



You got THAT right. Folks have no damn common sense. This is what pisses me off at my gym;

1) MFers not wiping their sweat off the bench.

2) Dudes half my size(or women) asking to work in with me. Like I want to unload all that weight just for you.

3) Cell phone users who have to let us know what they're talking about(when they're on the treadmill). Kiss my ass!

4) Not washing your hands after using the bathroom.

5) Gay dudes making out in the sauna. Leave that monkey business at home!

I'm waiting for Ann to have her Leona Helmsley moment, where she's sent to jail for tax evasion and comes out all prison hard and humbled. That, or maybe she'll be kidnapped and brainwashed by a cult and become a hardcore radical liberal with a beret, then when she's rescued she'll do the talk show circuit with Patty Hearst and then act in John Waters films for the rest of her life.

She's yet to be thoroughly shamed, though you KNOW it's inevitable. I can't wait for the new, humbled Ann.
