In most cases, neither do I.

But when you're working in a semi-professional environment, dealing with clients, customer facing, etc. you should know how to clean yourself up.

I hate when I mess up my school clothes before I change into my play clothes.

How about using exercise equipment for purposes other than what the equipment is made for. Examples:

-I have seen plenty of assholes use a bench for curls or even worse squats.

-people who use the squat rack for deadlifts. There's a reason the gym has deadlift platforms asshole.

By "excretions equipment"...do you mean toilets and urinals?

My gym got a platform this week. Otherwise it was use the squat rack or take a bar from a bench that wasn't being used and do them in some open space. Curls in the squat rack are the worst thing i've seen at the gym.

Go to the open space or go to a gym that doesn't suck.

- People who pronounce "especially" with an extra 'K' sound: "ekspecially"

- When people refer to cities by a nickname ("The Big Apple" or "the City of Angels")

Same with Wooster. To those outside the county, it rhymes with "rooster."

We used to joke around so much in high school making of fun of people for this, I've actually caught myself saying it around people who are not in on the joke. This just makes me an idiot. Same with some of my college friends making fun of meatheads and bro's so much, they basically just started acting like one.

The coin worth 1/4 of a dollar is not pronounced "court-ur". At least if your address doesn't contain a lot number of the trailer park.

How about "tetnical" for "technical."
