Pet Peeve Thursdays: Ay, Ay, Cap'n!

(1 Cent): Argh, Matee!

You know what really chaps my cheeks? Being victim to seeing someone else's "cheeks" in the gym locker room. I mean, put some clothes on, dude. Even though it might be somewhat kosher to be nude for a short time while changing from gym clothes to regular attire, you don't need to stand there naked watching The O'Riley Factor.

The worst is when I'm just walking into the locker room ... minding my own business ... keeping my eye level view of things ... and then you turn the corner to where the lockers are ... and there's this old, nude dude posing like he's Captain Morgan ... only his leg was high on a bench, watching TV, instead of a beer keg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Morgan).

So, here's something novel: put your clothes on to watch TV. Even better, put your clothes on while you brush your teeth, shave, or whatever else you do in front of the mirror at the gym. Come to think of it, do you people even have a bathroom at home? My goodness. One time, I went to the gym, to the locker room, saw this dude combing his hair, went up and did my work out which lasts about an hour and fifteen to an hour and thirty ... then went back to the locker room to wash up, and same dude is still there getting ready! I know that gym memberships are expensive and all, but they might have to start asking this guy to pay more for rent he's there so much. A rule should be instituted that you have to work out longer than you take to get ready.

Moral of the story: don't be a nude Captain Morgan who watches CSPAN in front of other men.

(2 Cent): Reader's Request

At the want of a particular reader (one who is too shy to write in herself), I am going to write about one of her pet peeves ... and one that I can't believe I haven't written about before. You know what chaps both of our cheeks? Plus sized women who wear XS clothing (or spandex). I don't really have an issue with your size ... I don't think you're lazy ... I don't judge you as a person. I do, however, can not condone the image of a 400 lbs woman sporting a Hello Kitty shirt that was meant for her 8 year old daughter ... it being stretched out to only say, "Hell itty."

Alls I'm sayin' is ... wear clothes that fit ... or at least somewhat fit. Also, dress your age. We don't need 40 somethings dressing like 18 year old hookers. We really don't. That could go for men as well ... we don't need to see your old monkey hair sticking out of your unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt. Just ... sigh ... pretend that you care about your appearance. That's all.

(1/2 Cent): Whoopty-Whoop!

Make sure you send all of your comments by no later than 10am Friday morning ... that's when I will finalize Grab Bag Friday. So far, we have just one question ... but it's a loaded 10 question, question. I'm excited to answer and post it. Write anything and all to HCP2007@gmail.com or click the Comments link below! And remember ... don't be the Cap'n!
