hmm… perhaps I was too quick to judge

Suddenly changing lanes without using your turn signals or cutting in front of someone can lead to frustration.

Just got downsized yesterday. Worked for a section of United Health Group that made $15,000,000,000 last year, but due to a change in the way Medicaid is reimbursed by the government, they will only make $14,000,000,0000 this year. Can’t have that. UHG stock up 4.5% today on the news, though.

That sucks man. I hate to hear that.
Thanks. I’ll be fine. Should have something new in time to turn my severance into a bonus.

Some wretched meatbag ripped the pad off the only SSB.
I wish them failure in the gym and their future endeavors.

My wife noticed a poor kid in her class that wears soccer cleats to school every day.
They are the only shoes he has and they are ragged hand me downs. I got his size and I am going to get him a carton of Nikes. (My company is one of the biggest vendors for Nike).
It infuriates me that parents can be such losers and cruel to their kids and simply not care.

I don’t personally like Nike shoes, but the kids love them. They are too narrow for my sasquatch feet.
Nike also brings us 1.7B a year in business so… lol.

There was nothing more important to my dad than being the nice guy at the bar. Need a $20? No problem.
Place to crash? Jimbo got you covered.
Freakin destroyed all 5 of us kids in the process, but hey, he was the good guy (at the bar) !

I will never understand this behavior.
Everyone else in the world can get fucked. My kids always come first.

I don’t either.
My one shitty neighbor was a lazy drunk/junkie and showed up on the front street about a week after the sheriff removed him.
He’s moping and poking around while the kids were riding their bikes so I finally asked him what was up.
He asks me for like 30 bucks to get a case of beer.
I looked at him, then looked at my son once and again. Then said “You want to take food out of his mouth for a case of beer?”.
He slumped and walked away. No reply necessary. They already lost their kids a couple of years prior. The dirty skank kept telling me “I’m trying. But…” until I finally said “Look, I’ve been sober 18 years (at the time). I know what trying looks like- so please, cut the shit, would ya?”.

If this were some third world nation, it makes sense, but there are so many charities, churches, programs through social services, etc., that if you honestly could not afford a pair of shoes for your kid, you could get a pair. And if you honestly can’t afford to dress your kid, then put on a condom.

Same here, both parents were barflys. We had to get jobs so we could buy underwear.

What was that word you used @simo74 ?
Bollocks?
Yeah it is quite fucking annoying when some guy in the gym is on the phone speaking bollocks.

This poor kid has nothing. The odd thing is both of his parents, which are both male don’t seem destitute come to find out. They have a nice house, nice cars, both work, etc.
Long story short I found out the kid lives less than a block from one of my commercial properties. After school he is going to start going there and helping out in one of my stores until his parents get home - parents approved this and I will pay him well.

I don’t care about this unless the guy is hogging equipment while on the phone.
Oh really?
Even if the guy was blabbering about bitches, pussy, and covid……and fucking bitches, rather loudly?
You wouldn’t be even a little irritated?
(His words not mine)
No - I actually like when people announce to the world they are terrible humans - makes it easier to know who to avoid.
It’s definitely not appropriate and staff should take action (most gyms have rules against crass language and such on the floor).

Thats actually kinda worse. They adopted a gimmick that outlived its emotional capital value.
Thats some really self absorbed bullshit there.
Kudos for doing something subtle but useful about it.
