It takes all sorts!

Jan 02, 2016 13:45

I met my first unpleasant somewhat misogynistic numpty of 2016 today but then I also met an extremely nice person who was very practically helpful. I attracted the ire of MMN (Mr Misogynistic Numpty) by returning to THE BEAST in Sainsbury's car par and finding that someone had parked so close to the driver's side door that , not only did I have ( Read more... )

You are far too kind calling that man a Misogynistic Numpty though that IS a perfect description. ARGH

We have a set of 2 kg hand weights and I have made a resolution to actually use them again this year because my upper arms are....well...more like flabby hanging bits.
:P
And yes, they are very good for working off ire.

Ah well, I'm annoyed with myself for letting it annoy me to be honest but the workout helped :)

I started last year with 1KG, 2KG is definitely more challenging but it was time to step it up but even with the 1KG set I'm much happier with my arms and back than I was this time last year though more work is needed and 4 inches off my waist has made a big difference too. Sadly I've not managed to drop a dress size on the top half as the boobs do not diminish but I'm definitely in better shape than I was and fully intend to continue.

Now you're really inspiring me!

It took 6 months to see noticeable results but it's worth it

Why are some people such idiots? That happened to me at work once. I was the last car in the parking lot and someone decided to make their own space right against the driver side door. I couldn't get near enough to open the door and couldn't climb through the passenger side as I had a stick on the floor. Luckily, a wonderful girl shimmied into the car and was able to drive my car out.

Here's hoping 2016 will be great now that that's out of the way!

*hugs*

I have a stick shift too.. it took some wriggling to get over it :) Yay for your shimmying saviour.

I guess the guy was annoyed at having to wait whilst I manoeuvred the car but he really was not pleasant :)

Happy New Year!

I've done that more than once, too - I'm really too bulky and have almost got stuck, but was determined not to be stuck there barbecue of an idiot parker :)

deborahw37 January 2 2016, 19:38:20 UTC

It's easier in my little Citroen, in THE BEAST it's more akin to mountaineering :)

BTW love the autocorrect.. Barbecuing idiot parkers is an excellent idea

Oh well, maybe that will be the MMN for the year over and done with!!

deborahw37 January 2 2016, 16:48:44 UTC

We can but hope

You should have told him to fuck off.

They hate that! :o)

deborahw37 January 2 2016, 16:49:15 UTC

I have eloquent eyebrows, I think he got the message

cmcmck January 3 2016, 10:59:51 UTC

My eyebrows hide behind a Cleopatra fringe but as a former teacher, I have 'the look'! :o)

deborahw37 January 3 2016, 12:50:44 UTC

*g*

Oh yes, that look works brilliantly!

I have a mug which says " Don't Make Me Use My Teacher Voice!" and I do try not to but yesterday I was sorely tempted!

I think we know from our conversation at the other place that we know what his problem is ;)

deborahw37 January 2 2016, 19:24:04 UTC

I suspect that our conjecture on this matter is correct ;)
