And the O’s break the losing streak!!!
so obviously this is funny because it’s so ridiculous because this would basically never happen
and I can’t believe we live in a world where this scenario is so unlikely that it’s a joke
I hated high school. I don’t trust anybody who looks back on the years from 14 to 18 with any enjoyment. If you liked being a teenager, there’s something wrong with you.

Today at the gym, there was this small group of people that were each about 250lbs, and they were ABSOLUTELY killing it. They were doing ab exercises that I can’t even attempt to do. It was nuts, and I really wanted to compliment them, because I’ve been their size, and I know it can be uncomfortable to just go ham, and do an insane workout… but I HATE when I see people “complimenting” others in a condescending tone. So, I wussed out, and didn’t compliment them, because I didn’t want to be perceived as an asshole.
In regards to the condescending “compliments,” I mean the people that’ll go up to someone, and say something like “oh! Good job! Don’t worry, if you keep it up, you’ll get there.” Like, that person could have already lost 20lbs or more. It’s like they set a goal for them. What if that person wanted to maintain what they’re at, ya know? It’s kind of like a back-handed compliment. I just want to say stuff like “you’re tearing it up, man!” I feel like it could be perceived as me being surprised that they are, even though I’m not. Even when it’s super jacked guys, or ripped girls, I still think “wow! Look at her go! I wish I could do that!”
Seriously overthinking this, I guess.
