Just overheard next to me, DUDE 1: "Hey , why do you have the Dodge Ram logo tat on your shoulder?" DUDE 2: "It's fucking Aries !' DUDE 1: "Whats FUCKING AIR?" Its the Dodge Logo!" DUDE 2: "It's Astrology and shit, Its my symbol, It's a symbol of strength" DUDE 1: "It's the Dodge Ram logo because doing curls with 20's aint a symbol of strength!" DUDE 2: 'You don't know shit man!" DUDE 2: " I know if I was you I wouldnt wear a sleevless shirt!" Ahhh...good mornnnnnnnnnnnin'! (Piranha Man style!) |

I just think the entire tat thing is sometimes ridiculous with the 'I got it to honor my dead grandmother, because she was such an inspiration" Fuck, if I got a tat to honor my grandfather he would slap me on head and call me an idiot. or the chick I dated who had 5 small tats 'Each one to remember one of the cats she had that died" (That ended that relationship) You want to tell me you got a tat, because you think it looks good on you. It's your body, you do what you want, you can decorate it, pierce it, barb it, but if you want to explain the the walking billboard conversation you just got engraved into your skin because you need to remind yourself you are an Aries and it shows you have power and strength, lol....yeah, and I will have a large sprite with that! |

Who has conversation at the gym? I hate talking at the gym. Convo means you linger at your station and hold up the fucking show. |

It's what guys do when they are younger, I would go lift with guys back in the day, it helps when one of them is a lifter and knows what he is doing, otherwise no thanks. But I agree with you, I do my workout and leave. I especially try to get out of the locker room ASAP. Guys shaving, doing their hair, etc while 8 feet away 4 guys are dropping deuces and the place smells like a huge porta potty! Ughhh.... |

I agree with you for the most part, just asking which one is worse. I go with company logo. |

When it comes to bogarding equipment for long stretches of time, sometimes you just have to be an asshole and tell these guys to hurry up or move along. I find that a gentle "hey are you about finished?" generally disrupts their universe enough for them to move on or outright leave. People like that aren't used to being told no, so the initial shock of not getting their way is enough to break their habit, at least temporarily. |

Texting / email guys easy! Especially the guys in the locker room who lay out their wardrobe on the bench, then sit down to go over emails. See some of the same guys daily! |

People like that aren't used to being told no, so the initial shock of not getting their way is enough to break their habit, at least temporarily. i'm way too passive for that but i will usually just keep bugging them and they usually get off the machine eventually. most people i've come across are simply not aware of themselves being "i own this gym" about it...they've probably just never been told to get the hell off the machine. the other thing that's bothersome but i guess i can't complain...are people who take ten minutes cleaning a machine. i mean, wipe it down, that's good of you...but it's a weight machine, it's not a bedroom. |

Today walk into Penske Rental on Clark and Waveland to grab a truck to help my cousin move. Lady working had a Samoan design on her chin that made her look like she had a goatee. Most ridiculous tattoo I've ever seen. |

The lighting in the place is terrible and first time I went in there was in the winter, about 4:30 it was kind of dark and I didnt know WTF was on her face! |
