Saw a car yesterday with about 20 stuck on the inside of the drivers window. Why are you so lazy?! Someone I work with still has a bloody tax disc on display. It almost physically hurts me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My missus comes to mind here, she's not so bad with parking tickets but in general the shit she leaves in the car, one day I got in her car and there was so much paper on the floor I thought she was keeping a rabbit in their Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even sat in my sun lounger not the green plastic chairs we brought especially. Why shouldn't this piss me off . Because it always happens I can top that. Friends of mine regularly have soirées and parties, boxing night buffet type gatherings etc. and a well to do retired couple always bring along happy shopper brand booze but don't touch it as they're too busy helping themselves to the quality drink. However, as well as grabbing a couple of doggy bags of uneaten grub they also bring home the booze they brought along at the start of the night ! I wouldn't mind if they were a couple of old buggers on the bread line but they're very comfortably off. That's probably why ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) This shouldn't annoy me, but it kinda does, weird as it is. People who are paying gym members and spend their time walking on treadmills. Not for warm-up, but genuinly walk there instead of walking outside in the sun.

Two of 'em at once! Two different companies! Crackin', lickin' 'is chops all the way to the J Arthur Rank 'e must be. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but if I were responsible for a medium-sized gambling company called BetMeldrew or something I might think twice before outsourcing my brand identity to a guy who's notorious for his inability to read or count, and considered financially dodgy even by people who like him, but what do I know.

That I straight out disagree with. Most people I come across are genuinly there to get fit. I'd argue the money spent there relatively speaking is nothing and should be tax refundable.

I just find there are always loads of people just walking on a mill when they could be walking outside, like you say, people doing half reps on free weights, or people spending ages on crap machines when they should be on free weights etc etc. Don’t get me wrong, it’s better they do that than nothing, but half the people in gyms I’ve used are either wasting their time on inefficiant work outs, or wasting their money doing stuff they could have done without spending 30 quid a month on a gym membership.

Stevo985 Posted April 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2019 The money being wasted in gyms isn't by the people in there doing the wrong thing. It's by the hoards of people who spend hundreds of pounds a year on gym memberships and never walk through the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that’s not really a fair comparison is it? Most people don’t really have access to a boat and navigable water. As for the rest of your post, fair enough. I don’t necessarily agree with it, but I won’t argue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people don't have access to a cushioned even surface that rises and falls at will that is MUCH better on your joints than pounding the pavement at even walking pace That treadmill is exactly like a boat in that most people who need them don't have access to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I am going to join a gym soon as this past year I have found my legs and feet are **** and I need some different exercise. Probably just walk on the walking machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 There is this lady at work I am not sure has much of a social life, so weekends and especially holidays, she comes back and chats your absolute ear off. Mate, I am trying to digest 3 evening easter eggs and the last remnants of at least a dozen pints. Give me a break. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
