Things OTHER people think is funny

So yesterday a group of us met at a local restaurant for breakfast (we'll just say it's not the regional house of pancakes) and at the end of the meal, I noticed something crawling on the booth behind my friend Kelly. I gasped and she immediately started saying, "is it on me?" and covering her neck up.

A waiter came over and asked if we needed help (by this time I am standing besidie the booth) and Kelly said, "I think you have a little friend over there." He then squishes it and goes to the manager to say, "We have cockroaches again."

Then, tonight I went throug the drive-thru at Runza this evening for dinner. The girl hands me the bag and says, "Here's your bag of calories." I fake laugh and then ask for my drink.

And she says, "And here's your love handles to go. Have a great night!"

Is it bad that I wanted to punch her a little bit?

Gymbos

Lately I have been hitting the gym in the mornings to avoid the after-work crowd. But today I went after work to go to Turbo Kick Boxing (which always kicks my behind!)

So I had to get there a little early to get a spot in the back row... and I overhear this lady talking about her new baby WHO WAS BORN A WEEK AGO. This woman was going to do this class with us after pushing a person out of her 7 days ago. So, I was thinking to myself that she would need many rest breaks and water breaks. WRONG. She definitely did better than me.

And that is what I hate about the gym.

Also, (rant coming here) I hate it when people hog the machines! If you are going to do a set and then sit around for 50 minutes, that's great, but sit somewhere else.

And finally, there's macho man: that guy who thinks he needs to slam the weight stack down in order to actually be getting the most out of his workout. Well now I have a nervous disorder buddy!

But really the problem is me here: I can't turn the nerd/PT off in me. I am constantly wanting to run up to people and correct their technique or their posture or their running form. When we were doing jumping squats in class tonight, I nearly had to physically restrain myself from yelling, "don't let those knees go out over your toes!!!"
