I was at my apartment's gym and this bro kept dropping his weights from about 2–3 feet above the ground and after the fourth loud bang I kind of lost it and went over to him and said:
"If you're not capable of lifting that weight without dropping it, then you're not capable of lifting that weight."
So I guess I’m never leaving my apartment ever again.
I get annoyed by a lot of things, but I rarely say anything and mostly just take to mastodon to talk smack about people, but this guy needed a lesson in gym etiquette.
I also just remembered an encounter at a brewery last weekend where a lady was sitting alone at a table next to us and FaceTiming with someone at full volume and this other guy walked by and told her it was rude and she tried to rope me in for her cause by saying "it's not loud right? It can't be any louder than two people talking at a table, right?"
Had she not done that, I would have just been annoyed with the FaceTiming but ignored it, but when she tried to get me on her side, I had to be honest by telling her it's poor social etiquette to be playing any audio on her phone in a public space without headphones.
All of that to say, I may officially be entering my curmudgeon era.
Thinking how I am someone who has called the crisis line on speaker phone (phone at time was broken) while on the bus and I am telling myself nobody is talking about that though it is probably very concerning…
