"If you're not capable of lifting that weight without dropping it, then you're not capable of lifting that weight."

So I guess I’m never leaving my apartment ever again.

People using any device that produces sound, in public, without headphones is pretty much my biggest pet peeve about modern society and i LOVE that you're telling these people the TRUTH!

I was at a concert that I'd been looking forward to for 6+ weeks -- I struggled to get tickets, but eventually snagged a spot in the 10th row. During a really quiet and low sax solo, two girls standing behind me were chatting loudly.

I turned around and said "LISTEN NOW... TALK LATER." And they were immediately silent.

I felt bad about having to call them out, but after the song was over I turned around to thank them for being quiet for the rest of the song... but they were gone. I didn't see them for the rest of the night, so either they weren't into it and left, or I shamed them into going elsewhere for the rest of the show.

Either way, I enjoyed the rest of the concert.

Absolutely correct on both topics. Bad social form.

I also just remembered an encounter at a brewery last weekend where a lady was sitting alone at a table next to us and FaceTiming with someone at full volume and this other guy walked by and told her it was rude and she tried to rope me in for her cause by saying "it's not loud right? It can't be any louder than two people talking at a table, right?"

Had she not done that, I would have just been annoyed with the FaceTiming but ignored it, but when she tried to get me on her side, I had to be honest by telling her it's poor social etiquette to be playing any audio on her phone in a public space without headphones.

All of that to say, I may officially be entering my curmudgeon era.

The good news is that was the last time he dropped his weight.
