The first time I ever pulled 200kg deadlift I was listening to maroon 5.
I was listening to the same song the first time I pulled 250.

I went to Sam’s to pick up some stuff from their photo department. All I had to do was go to that counter and leave. I intentionally made a lap through the grocery section first to get free food samples.
I had a bite of chocolate cheesecake, lasagna, broccoli salad, and ham before I picked up my stuff.
I didn’t even buy anything today.

Haha I always give my good lady grief for sampling stuff she has no intention of buying
They know we are all doing it.
They’re so friendly and non-judgmental.
Would you like to try some cheesecake?
— Yes, I would!
Thanks!
—No, thank YOU!
Do you want a some lasagna?
— Sure.
It’s two for $11 right now.
— Ooh, it’s good. Thanks!
…as I walk around without a cart.

Now that you mention samples, I worked at Costco as a person who gave out samples, dude I developed the most snarky attitude working there after a while.
I remember one time a rather small kid, super adorable, didn’t even Come up to my knee, was trying to get a sample. I saw mommy and daddy around the corner, and they were coaxing their kid to be a big boy and ask the nice lady (me), for a sample. I was serving these cheese ball things you can make in the oven. I purposefully jam packed that tiny paper cup to the brim because the kid was so well mannered and sweet. Out of NO WHERE this rather husky and impatient guy almost stomps this tiny kid for a stupid sample. I closed my station down for 30 mins and walked the kid and his cup full of cheese back to his parents.
Another time I was sampling jelly beans. My whole station was covered with tiny paper cups filled with jelly beans. This rather rushed lady is asking me a zillion questions about some generic jelly beans. Dude they’re 9.99$ for a 1 pound bag, nutrition facts are on the back, I just work here. She was in such a hurry she tried to grab one cup and ended up knocking over every single last cup. I stared her down. DOWWWWNNNN. I just told her it’s fine and I’ll clean it up, but I never saw her down the isle I was on the rest of the time.

Just another reason why I will never work in retail.

At the moment that’s all that’s available to me. That’s one of the biggest incentives I have for me to finish my undergraduates degree.
I watched Bigger, Stronger, Faster a very long time ago. I never caught on that it was the Bell brothers in that movie… derp!

Yeah it is awful. The world would be a better place if everyone had to do a few months of it, like National Service. Some people are such irredeemable cunts to retail workers that it may be the only way for them to develop some empathy.

I spend too much time on my phone and not enough time talking to the misses !!! Is there a cure for that ?
Check the internet on your phone
Yer but to do that means I spend more time on the phone !!
Put your phone away when you get home.
Lolz yeah I had this problem with my wife, I just made her download the game I was playing and she’s since been happier, and in the evenings she watches her rubbish on the TV while I am on YouTube or something and she’s now accepted that I’m more interested in gym stuff than watching fake housewives or whatever, every relationship needs individual time

I am currently in mourning for the of the loss of fond childhood memories … I am coming too terms with what I watched on the big screen Friday night,
did you not like the last jedi? Heard it was good
Was planning to see it but…
They will probably have to do a Highlander 2 in the next episode. None of the new characters can carry a movie.
