Rant!Vancouver

I have been wondering this to myself several weeks now; What the hell kind of person shaves their legs at the community center pool showers? Why do people do this? It is gross! I don’t want to see you shaving your body hair, I don’t want it clogging the drains of the communal showers. I bet this is the kind of person who dyes their hair at the gym so they don’t have to clean up any spots at home. LOL, I am sure though that these people are probably grossed out by me taking my son into the ladies dressing room at the pool even though it is clearly booked as “Waterbabies” swim class-time when I (and about a dozen other moms) am there.

This is just something I have been wanting to get off my chest since I can’t actually tell the person while they are shaving.
I wouldn’t want them to hurt themselves in a wild shaving accident because I disturbed the delicate balance they have going on the slippery shower room floor. No, that would be very bad. (Hehehe, just picturing it in my mind.) Now I feel better.

Could this be the work of the Anti-poverty committee Olympic protesters?

I found this photograph over at the Seen in Vancouver flickr pool and thought I would share.

How about those miserable lot working at the Fitness World on Denman Street?! (Editor note: There is no Fitness World on Denman, perhaps the ranter! meant Denman Fitness) Some of them refuse to make eye contact while others down-right ignore you when you walk past them. Even if you walk right over them! The worst of all is that the staff all seem to be in their own little buddy click. And god help you if you try to talk to them while they are busy chatting it up behind the front desk. Please, drop your freekin’ attitudes! You work at a gym for crying out loud! The least you can do is be good at it. Are you too special to be nice to paying customers or are you confusing how you work with how you socialize??

I support the bus driver that spat on the panhandler who spat on him. I have been on the bus many times where these people think they can get a free ride and if not, they get abusive. Congrats to the driver who finally stood up to the abuse and refused to take shit from these assholes who make transit all the more hellish than it already is.
