I think every role/profession/job has its share of idiot questions. Especially when people are nervous, worried, tired, stressed, distracted, etc., they say and do stupid shit. I caught a guy peeing in public one time (a crime- indecent exposure or public urination, generally), and when I told him to move it (I really didn’t want to bother with it), he started stammering that “it fell out and just started going”.
I patiently listened for about 3 seconds, then told him not to bother and move along. Of course he gets butt-hurt because I’m clearly dismissing his retarded excuse, so he just has to start repeating it, getting more and more indignant at my apparent lack of sympathy. In the end, I just told him he was an idiot and left myself. You just have to be patient with some of those “retard” moments. Everyone has them.
I had 3 jobs before I graduated with my degree and got a real job.
Construction - you see guys do the most retarded dangerous shit you can imagine, think high voltage and water, etc.
Personal Trainer - near the end of my “career” as a PT I was mostly just yelling at people. I started out explaining everything and being all helpful, and slowly they broke me and I was just a big screaming gorilla.
Most of my clients loved me because they saw amazing results, and I would not allow slacking, I would call them and yell if they missed a session, but most people couldn’t stick with me for more than a few weeks. They wanted flashy nonsense, at which point I would scream at them.
Bouncer - I liked this job alot actually, and got paid very well, but dealing with DRUNK retarded, and often aggressive people gets old, fast. The girls were the plus, they thought I was adorable and jacked (proven combo), got literally buckets of numbers.
I have so many “stories” of general jackass-ery its ridiculous. Any other guys bounce in college ?
No way Ih. The buildings and houses that people with real jobs live and work in are built by elves.
It isn’t hard to figure out that if there is jackass-ery everywhere you go and in everything you have done what the common denominator in the jackass-ery is.
When I was in my late teens and early twentys after playing football I got really fat. Hit 305 and was not working out. Caught my wife cheating on me and got devoted to working out. Dropped down to 180. People would always ask what did you do? How did you do it?
My answer, I stopped eating shit and started working out every day.
Everyone else gets sad look on face, what did you take?
Nothing I FUCKING stopped eating shit and started working out.
Well I work and have kids.
my answer, I work 2 jobs, go to school full time, get my kids (divorce) three days a week.
People always wonder off to other topics.

Dude, that totally sucks, but at least it galvanized you to get back into shape.

Please explain. [/quote]
You really want to answer, “How do I get long, lean muscles?” and “I want to get big, but not like those people in the magazines” for a living? [/quote]
It is a quite miserable existence.
Personal favorite, said in response to my suggestion that he begin lifting as part of getting healthier…“nah, I want to drop some fat off before I start lifting, that way only muscle weight will be gained back”…what?
