The First Time a Woman Ever Spoke to Me at The Gym

    At my chain gym there’s a hack squat machine next to a leg press machine.  I was going for the hack squat machine.  I was intercepted by a weird Russian lady who hopped on to the hack squat machine.  

Okay.


She then asked me how it worked.


So I explained it to her.


And that was the first time in all the years that I’ve been going to the gym that a woman spoke to me.

More Moms and Scooters

    Please see my previous post.  https://hesjustoneguy.blogspot.com/2021/10/moms-and-scooters-and-kids-oh-my.html?zx=2c1d9b565ec9fedb

I saw that stupid bitch again!

At approximately the same time as the last time,  as I approached the  intersection of 41st and 6th,  I saw hordes of CitiBike riders hurtling toward the intersection, and a truck about to make that turn across their path.  Then along comes that same fucked up irresponsible bitch and her poor child, heading straight into death.  


Again, everyone survived, but damn it makes me nervous to see all of these folks forced to ride in a bike path funneling them to the death zone.

Moms and Scooters and Kids -- Oh my!


It wasn’t the first time I saw a mother riding an electric scooter with a child stashed between herself and the handlebars.  This time they were heading up the 6th avenue bike lane, which is on on the left side of the street.  I’m walking perpendicular to them on 41st street, which goes east west, so I’m approaching from their left.   

Wouldn’t you know a box truck was rolling past them to make the left turn, which cuts right across the bike lane?  That truck looked like it wanted to suck the hapless riders under its wheels.

I started  to panic.  

“No, no, no, no, no,” I uttered. 

I thanked the gods that the woman slowed down and the truck had plenty of time to pass them and make the turn, and she and the kid were able to make it through the intersection.  

“What the fuck is wrong with that cunt?”  Was my first question.  

“Is this legal?” Was my second question.  And something must be pretty bad if I’m asking if something’s legal.  

I guess men aren’t the only ones capable of reckless stupidity.  

I will now go find out if there are any laws against this and if there is anything I can do about it — which is, again, completely unlike me.
