Things that make me go "hmmm...." vol. 1

  • This man at my gym that currently has some sort of shoulder ailment (tendinitis maybe, can't remember what he said) that causes him to wear his arm in a sling yet he continues to take the spinning classes.  While it is great that he is remaining active I do not get the point of taking a class in which you can't do any of the exercises.  Can't that time be spent on the stationary bikes, thereby freeing up a coveted January spot on a bike for someone else who can participate in the class?
  • Engagement photo shots.  What is this trend?  It's so odd.  I see many couples doing this now on facebook.  Most are EXTREMELY cheesy and look like some sort of ad for a dating site.  Is it not enough to have the professional photos for the wedding, now people need to have staged "lovey-dovey" pictures that show how "in love" they are.  Definitely NOT a fan. 
  • People that complain about people who complain about winter while living in cold climates.  Hypocrite much?  You are complaining about someone complaining, seems way more childish than someone with a very valid complaint i.e. frigid, sucky winters.  Snow, ice, cold temps, etc can be dangerous and even in some cases cause death.  Complaining about these things does no one any harm. 
  • The same people mentioned above who say something along the lines of "It's the Northeast, it's winter, if you hate it so much then move".  Ok, then much of the northeast would be desolate because I don't think I can find one person who thinks hoooorayyyyyy another snow storm.  Also, that is a pretty ignorant statement, many people are tied to an area because of work, family etc.  Again, where is the harm in a little bitching about winter?
