Observations and Grievances 2016: Week 1 We are now five days into the new year and my hatred for the majority of the population is stronger than ever. In fact in the past five days it's reached a point where I thought that it might be reasonable to start making a list of observations and grievances from each week. I may get bored or run of material within the next couple weeks in the same way blubbernauts give up on their resolutions to eat better and exercise; but perhaps the mods can take this concept, sticky it each week, and we can have a best of hate thread around this time next year. So here is my list of complaints for this week - the common trend that they are mostly gym related - new years resolutioners  (1) In a secluded area of the gym a man moves and takes the equipment I was using so that he can help his whale strengthen her nonexistent lower abdominal muscles (2) Large twenty-somethings walking around the city with overstretched/seethrough lululemon yoga pants (3a) 2 fat ass males doing low weight, low repetition bench presses in the Smith machine while sweating profusely and talking about muscle groups and the pros and cons of exercises the had no concept of. (3b) After finishing their woefully short workout these same eat beasts were obnoxiously self congratulating themselves in the change room because they made it to the gym and most people don't. Conversation continued and they discussed the possibility of trying out the new planet fitness that opened up because of cost... then one explains to the other that he has actively been defrauding the gym for the past 3 years by showing up more than 14 days in the month and sneaking in by following other people in. (3c) they haven't been back (4) Some asshole - likely a fatty - left chewing gum in the sauna and I stepped in it. (4a) I nearly stepped into more gum today. Instead I noticed it and the foil candy wrappers. (5) Despite only following athletes and bike manufacturers on instagram, BBWS have been showing up on the explore festure. It's disgusting, and it takes time to block their profiles and report them for promoting eating disorders.
