I’ve been going back to school to learn programming since my company is paying for it.
The building I’m taking the class is a three story building with very, very short flight of stairs.
Kids (aged 18-20 I’m guessing) are taking the fucking elevator instead of walking the incredibly short flight of stairs.
WTF.

You’re describing me for a good three years.
It turns out that I’ve been slowly improving body composition, since people suddenly said I look like I lift weights seemingly overnight, but I’ve been stagnating as far as strength is concerned.
I lift largely as an effort to stay healthy and active, so the fact that I’m moving heavier weights down the road isn’t a big priority.

Somewhat related, I always leave 3 steps between me and the person infront of me on any escalator.
I feel I am both low enough and far enough away to avoid any crop dusters.

I saw the opportunity for a joke and couldn’t help myself. That was a very funny scene in a book I read.
Ok, I’ll get out of the locker room now.

The worst day of my life was when I was ladder man for a high rise fire. 50 lbs of hot ass bunker clothes with a 25 lb air bottle rig on my back, carrying an ax and a ladder up 30 flights of stairs. Terrible, just terrible.

Yeah it’s definitely an adtenaline rush when the smoke is so thick you can’t see your own hands and your air pack starts beeping at you cuz it’s almost empty lol.
I’m not right now, I moved states and am just doing ambulance work right now. But I did end up making my company’s special operations and rescue squad, so I get to do all the cool rapelling and wilderness rescues and shit. Fighting fire isn’t even the part I miss most about about working on the FD, it’s the using the big ass Jaws of life to cut through cars like cardboard

Confession: The most annoying/obnoxious/demanding people in the gym here are geriatrics, a good half dozen have zero to no manners when asking for things or special considerations, they are rude about music choices, about machine noises (“That person is running too loudly on the treadmill.”) and are just generally a pain in my ass. I have literally never had a problem with anyone under the age of 35 when it comes to most “normal” stuff like gym music (everyone understands its going to suck) or machine noises, or weight use.
End rant.

Yea, those old people in the gym are just trouble makers…
Wait…
Define old?
On a side note I just had a former NHL player tell me when you turn 55 you should just die…
He’s in his 30’s.

No, these individuals range from approximately 60-75.
Ha, they really are my biggest trouble makers, if we put music on that is requested by “young” folks and is “young” music, they lodge formal complaints, if it is a normally busy time for the “young” folks (we try to match music to the majority of the demographic in the gym) and that type of music is playing they request their music, and then get upset when I politely decline and tell them why.

I’ve boycotted Halloween for years 
Fuck costumes, and fuck candy. I’m busy.
As for being triggered by Frozen; if they had made Kristoff a strong male (you know, the kind that would actually harvest ice, high on the glacier, alone!) instead of a bumbling-metro, I might have had more patience. The movie was feminist propaganda/drivel.
The best part is that the 20-something girls I know are enthusiastic about the “diversity” that Disney now portrays in thier movies… “Because, that’s like, great!” (Actual quote).
I know of at least one 55 y.o. man who feels the same way.

That’s one confused 55 yo “man”.
