I get crap for eating/cooking too much food in the house.
I get crap for letting the shower run for 5 mins before I take a shower (and deservedly so).
Using lots of protein powder is something it sounds like most of us are cursed with. I also get a lot of shit for spending so much time with my girlfriend. dont know how anyone can say thats a bad thing but whatever, i dont give a shit

These describe me pretty well. I used to get shit for these, but now I don’t luckily (especially the “not talking to people I don’t like.”)[/quote]
It’s only recently various people from college came out and told me that the first time they met me, I was intimidating as hell. Weird. That anyone would find me intimidating speaks to the pure lack of testicular fortitude amongst guys of our (my) generation.
Why don’t you anymore?[/quote]
The people who know me know used to think that my “scowl” (my normal face) was intimidating, but now they know that I am not mean or crazy. However, those who don’t know me sometimes do give me looks, but I think that they don’t want to come up and tell me anything. I am one of the stronger people in my high school (crazy, huh), so I don’t get to many people talking shit to my face anymore.

I don’t get crap about my training as much as I do about the type of training.
“Don’t you have herniated discs in your back? Deadlifts are bad for your herniated discs. I don’t see how you can put yourself through that.”
“I wish I could use calf raises to build my calves. Too bad my ankles are too weak to do them…”
“You’ll ruin your knees by squatting heavy.”
These kinds of comments usually come from the, “I’d work out like you but my body’s different and exercise wouldn’t do me any good” crowd.[/quote]
That ankle comment would make me go off on whoever said it. I have sprained both of my ankles and got tendinitis in one (not bad ankles, just bad luck), but I got them as strong as they could be after that through some calf raises and such. That is just terrible bitching out in my opinion.
Caring more about school and lifting than social bullshit. As if I even want to fit in with the dipshit mass audience that is the general public. They actually think I want to be one of them. They really do. Even though I never socialize with them willingly and only do so when I have no choice. Even though I express no desire to spend time with them.
Refusing to make friends with every single person that talks to me. Apparently, there’s a law that states whenever someone tries to make friends with you, you are legally obligated to reciprocate. I’m not legally allowed to pick and choose my own friends. I’m not allowed to tell them to go fuck themselves, or I would be the bad guy. I would have broken the law! OH NOES!
Refusing to play by the rules when it comes to pursuing girls. They’re supposed to be subtle and appear to be unavailable to increase their perceived value, and I’m supposed to keep pursuing them instead of going for girls who are more direct. Because if I pursue direct girls, I’m the bad guy. How dare I not like indirect girls? They’re the BESTEST!
Being all business with people who I’m not close with. I’m supposed to make small talk first before getting straight to the point. I’d rather just fucking tell you what I want instead of wasting a few minutes pretending to be your friend and discussing the mother fucking weather or what you did over the weekend. Guess what? I don’t give a shit. You’re not a person to me. You’re just a means to an end. So much fucking unnecessary social bullshit to go through before I could even get a meal at a restaurant, or any other service at any other business establishment. Why do I have to pretend like I care about you? You’re paid to do a job. Does your duties include wasting my mother fucking time? I give you money, you do what you’re paid to do. End of transaction. Don’t you fucking make friends with me.
I got more…
-Taking my time at work (I had to see a therapist for my back)
-Having Lesbian friends and not trying to look for a hook up
-Being Asian and NOT in a Engineering Major (Holy crap,That shit mildly interest me and thats only when modern marvels is on)
-Being in an Art Institute (Web Design major then on to Advertising!)
-Dating girls with daddy issues (Because the best looking ones have the worse problems)
Pooping.
Seriously, can’t a guy poop?

You know how I feel! In case you were interested, they are the same people that berate me about deadlifting. Those people don’t deadlift because they’re afraid to mess up their back. Makes me want to go off on them every time they bring it up. Same people who use excuses not to take an educated shot at training. They give me crap for something I should be giving them crap over. I figure, I’m making gains while they make excuses. That’s not anything over which I’d lose any sleep…
I used to get shit for taking so many dumps at work. What can I say, I was getting plenty of fiber. For Christmas my boss gifted me a roll of toilet paper.
I have a somewhat low tolerance for frustration at times so I would get crap for raging over stupid shit. Like not being able to get the paper towel despenser case thingy to lock up the right way because the latch was stupid and somewhat faulty and you have to try about 20 times before it works. “Man I heard you growling in there, your blood pressure must have shot up like 20 points.”
Having a messy room and not really giving a shit.
Having a strong love of Chuck Norris jokes.
My family gives me shit for sleeping until 4p, I work nights, they can’t seem to figure it out. They get pissed when I can’t make a family think at noon, I started asking them to things at 2am and then get pissed cause they won’t come.
-my general hatred toward stupid people, the older I get the more I dislike everyone.
-not seeing every new movie that comes out or playing video games
-not giving two shits about famous people/movie stars
and pretty much every training related thing that’s already been mentioned.

3.) Not being Japanese
With some friends:
1.) Having a Patrick Bateman-like grooming routine (I’ll admit I’m a bit of a fag when it comes to this)
2.) Being awkward and nervous around new people
3.) Refusing to use public toilets and use toilet paper (I take one dump a day…post-coffee, pre-shower…fill in the blanks)
With girls:
1.) Finding “The Silence of the Lambs” to be both the most chilling AND most hilarious movie ever made. (I mean, a sketchy fuck who pretends to be handicapped so he can lure fat chicks into his rapist van…funny right??)
2.) Making a joke in my head and laughing at it, all to myself.
3.) Being a big foreign guy with a mediocre-sized dick [/quote]
Yeah it really depends on the group Im with too.
Co-workers:
- Eating the same stuff all the time, none of which includes Burger King, Whataburger, or CiCi’s Pizza
- Having to go to the bathroom every hour or so because of my water consumption.
- Waking up at 0400 to workout
- Not being a man whore
Girls:
- Going to bed too early so I can get up at 0400 to workout
- Not eating garbage food with them when we go out to eat.
- Continuing to workout because Im allegedly “big enough” according to them
Friends:
- Spending too much time in the gym instead of playing b-ball
- Not being Christian
- Being “intolerant,” which they only say because I like to debate things like religion, ideology, philosophy, etc, and apparently if you ask about someone’s faith or beliefs thats being intolerant…
-Using the word “retard” or “retarded” when describing someone who does something moronic
-My girlfriend’s friend just called off her engagement but still talks to her ex. I am constantly saying all she needs is a sranger’s dick and all will be better. I’ve said this in front of a group of her friends and in front of the girl. I get the scowls like “I can’t believe he just said that” … but my girlfriend agrees with me.
-I get shit for giving my girlfriend’s friends boyfriends shit for being out of shape and lazy from my girlfriend’s friends. Their boyfriends laugh and give me shit right back for most of the things people have already stated.
-I think it’s odd my friends have ceased giving me shit about anything except being a happy relationship. I’ll never understand why anyone would give anyone shit for being happy or working towards happiness. It’s a mind fuck
-I get shit for squatting in the curl rack (seriously, I’ve had guys come up to me and ask how many sets I have left. I ask them instinctually what they need to cage for to which they reply curls. I tell them I don’t know maybe half an hour more and they get all huffy. Kids. pfft).
-I get shit for giving my girlfriend shit for not picking up her clothes from the bedroom floor and putting them in the hamper that is about 3 feet away from where her clothes are on the floor.

I feel your pain on C-3 and C-4, really don’t understand F-3 at all.
I recently got some shit from a guy at the gym for taking pills; never asked what was in them, he just assumed pills are illicit substances that can’t be taken in public.
Never knew Chromium and Vitamin C were steroids.
Besides all the basic ones that come with eating and training seriously
- Eating incredibly slow (1/2 hour per meal).
- I fart a lot, and I do it in public, I don’t care.
- People thinking that just because I have a (very) fast metabolism I can or should eat whatever I want.

When people complain, I just always use my friend as an example. He herniated two disks when he was 15, and now, at 17, he is trying to still get as strong as he can. He even does squats. GASP
