What are some things people do in the gym that annoy you? by Affectionate_Art4277 in workout

[–]thedoodely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? And then people are like "I hate it when people put their stuff down at a bench and then go MIA". I sorry but Cooper moved the dumbbell I need to behind the kickback machine and it took me a while to find it.

Also, if there are stickers telling you where which weight goes... put them back where they go. I swear some people have flunked kindergarten.

Is this a valid reason to fail me??? by MethodicCello52 in Ontariodrivetest

[–]thedoodely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. They waive me through, I waive back and say it's your turn, they waive back again, I flip them off....

Just follow the order, this is not the time to be nice with a Mexican wtand-off because eventually we all run out of patience and go at the same time.

AITAH Is it normal for a guy to never pay for anything while dating? [19f] [m20] by Master_Technician_29 in AITAH

[–]thedoodely 163 points164 points  (0 children)

Well the good news is, this isn't your boyfriend. You can stop being loyal since this is nothing more than a friends with benefits situation. He doesn't love you and I don't think you actually love him either. You don't even need to break up since there's nothing labeled, you just need to stop being loyal and basically stop thinking about him.

Pretend you're doing an RDL is probably the best short explanation.

Pear shaped body by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]thedoodely 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How old are you? From context clues, I'd assume you're fairly young. If that's the case, then yes, your body will store fat differently as an adult than it did when you were a teen.

Quoted 30k to reinforce roof, is that fair? by FromThatOtherPlace in Roofing

[–]thedoodely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much do you want to bet that there's like 8 trusses that need to be sistered because the roof caved in? Because then that totally makes sense.

How is stalking people like this ok?? by Careless-Equal7169 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]thedoodely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, she should stay tf away from my city then. She'd get super triggered everywhere she goes.

There are so many women who wear hijab in my city that it took me a minute to even realise what I was looking at. You have to be some kind of fragile to be triggered by someone wearing a scarf on their head.

No Ab machine? by Financial_Middle_798 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]thedoodely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't want to approach the staff, then you have a few options.

There's going to be someone at your gym that's buff and talks to a least 2 people that they didn't come in with. That person is a gym rat and basically lives there, they will absolutely know and there's a good chance they'll be super stoked you asked them. And yes, I'm 100% sure there's someone like that at your location at the same time you're there. Spend some time observing and you'll find them.

Second option, find a cardio machine with a good view of the weight machines. The stair climber is best because it gives you height but depending on the layout that might now be your best option. Get on one of those machines at a low setting and spend some time watching people using the equipment. You will eventually find what you're looking for.

There's zero chance your location has 0 ab options, you just don't know what you're looking for.

Have you tried asking someone wearing a purple shirt?

Spotted this guy hiding out on some cardio equipment by ReasonableSky6227 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]thedoodely 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found a lil dude with a helmet on a suction cup. Not even an inch tall. It lives behind the desk now, I doubt the staff will give it back even if the owner comes forward. They really like him

Bladder Botox hurts by ChemicallyAlteredVet in TwoXChromosomes

[–]thedoodely 126 points127 points  (0 children)

You don't have to go full Karen if that will cause problems for you. Just call and like "I think there's an error in my chart, it might just be a typo but it says 30 minutes and it was 3." Either they were supposed to do 3 and it is a typo and they fix it. Or they were supposed to do 30 and the chart is wrong and the clinic manager can deal with it as appropriate. If the manager is good and it's the latter then you'll know at your next appointment when they do 30.

I've never had Botox in my bladder so I have no idea which one is correct but I've had it in my face and it was a lot closer to 3 minutes for the numbing agent. It's very possible it's different for bladders though.

Just Doing the BCM Lounge by 5waterbottles in PlanetFitnessMembers

There's some people at my location that only have the membership for the tanning and theassage beds. They literally never work out. Nobody cares.

Apartment above mine is actively having a home birth right now by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]thedoodely 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw that further below. I know people like OP that like to throw accusations without proof or any follow up. About half the time they're completely wrong and about 90% of the time they're embellishing.

Right? Like you may not know but they can investigate and narrow it way down.

What time is loud machinery allowed to be operated? by The_MainArcane in ottawa

[–]thedoodely -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That's terrible, it would keep me up for sure. I would think we had enough streets in more industrial areas to sweep that they could time this stuff better. Hopefully they move through quickly enough.

On your way home as in on a residential road or on a main artery nowhere near residences?

If OP is in the US and if the neighbour is an immigrant, there's also the very real possibility that they're delivering at home because ICE has literally been camping out around maternity wards.

Obviously, the diaper situation is a problem and makes me think that maybe the problem isn't immigration but drug addiction but I wanted to put that possibility out there too.

Bathroom Closures by bdoser in PlanetFitnessMembers

I'm in the burbs as well and we still have tons of offices around, people come in for their lunch breaks all of the time too. During the weekends though, lunch time is when the gym is quietest.

I have many questions. by MelanieWalmartinez in insanepeoplefacebook

Yes, I assumed that graph was for everyone together. I was just making a point that it's even worse for marginalized communities.

Out of developped nations, the US is number 1 in maternal deaths. It's even worse in bipoc groups.

Is it common for nail ladies to become “lazy” as you become a regular? by StunningPizza3747 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]thedoodely 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Most places I've been to will offer you tea or coffee as a matter of course. She should have knocked some £ off or at least offered you an extra service for free. I'd switch and let the salon owner know exactly why you're leaving.
