Fat people and exercise- shower thought Here's a thing I really, really don't get. I'm sure this has been brought up before but it annoys me.  So fatties sometimes ask for workout buddies or have pity parties where they claim they "need to go to the gym" or "need to run" with someone. In trying to be a good person, I sometimes offer to let them take a jog with me or come to the gym with me so I can show them a few easy workouts. Every time, they give me an uncomfortable "okay" and never bring it up again. What the fuck? Why even bring that up if you aren't going to take any action?
