Funny Story!!!
So after about a week of arguing with my wife about getting a treadmill I finally broke and she bought one. I think they are a waste and they suck to move and they take a ton of space up. I prefer the gym plus there is no eye candy in the basement (other then my wife) to enjoy when working out. Oh did I mention I just got rid of one over the winter using Craig's list, 4 months later I have another, great.
So it is suppose to be delivered today between 8 and 12 and I work like 10 seconds from my house. So the guy calls me all grumpy and stuff, no biggie. Then he pulls up a little late to my house. I ask "do you have a hand truck?" he replies "Nah, we are going to carry it with our teeth", whatever dick. Then he goes in the back of the truck (straight boy) and starts moving stuff around. I hear him swearing up a storm cause the threadmill is all the way and the back and has to move like a bunch of stuff (I did feel bad about that) so 15 minutes later he emerges at the edge of the truck with the treadmill. I see him mess around with the lift then gives up and is like "I will just f--ing lower it down". So when he starts to lower it down I hear "POP" the box gives and the $2k treadmill goes flying out all over the main road, lands right on the road and falls out of the box. I seriously could not stop laughing the tears where flowing, man. He was like it is fine, I was like man I can't accept that.Then he said "I don't need you anymore". The best part was when my drug delaer friend (see my earlier thread) was on the other side of the street and he was like "Goddamn!" So funny. I went in and ate my lunch and when I was leaving he was still out side picking up little pieces. I gave him a little tot when I drove by. He was just such a grumpy smart a$$, it could not have happen to a nicer person.

Re: Funny Story!!!
Not really I have bought cheap ones in the past and they break after a year or so of use. If you actually use them well worth the money and we do. I rather speend $100 on a TV and $2K on a treadmill.
Maybe firstdown you just like being old and flappy. =) To each is own.

Re: Funny Story!!!
I was riding down the road in NC once in the slow lane. So this guy gets on my bumper and starts flashing his lights. I could see him swearing up and down in the rear-view mirror. So finally he passes me, cussing and giving me the finger. 15 minutes later I see the state troopers have pulled someone over and guess who it is? That's right, the speeder. I slowed down, honked the horn, and waived. It felt so good.

LOL! I use to have a really stuck up friend that had a Viper and he loved to do that people. Well one day we were speeding down to VA Beach and he pissed off most of 95, of course he gets pulled over and nearly every car that passed us blow their horn. The cop was like "buddy you got a lot friends out there, huh". I was so embarssed, I no longer hang with this dude plus it was like 8 years ago.

Re: Funny Story!!!
Sounds like that delivery guy needs to buy a dime bag from your neighbor and mellow out a bit.
Good story mredskins. I got a laugh out of that.

Re: Funny Story!!!
Hah the guy deserved it.
$2k isn't bad, you really get what you pay for with gym equipment. The cheap things you see in dept. stores are complete junk. |

Re: Funny Story!!!
My wife just went out and joined the Y and through out how our daughter will enjoy the pool in the winter time. I agree its hard to get ticked when they want to stay in shape and I'll have to say my wife is in better shape today then she was on 06/03/00 when we got married. Yep, its nine years today.

Re: Funny Story!!!
Nothing beats the gym....nothing! And now they even have TVs everywhere in the gym so I can watch my boy Dwight Howard dominated in the post.

He was driving in the left lane, and needed to get over to the right to make a turn, but there were lots of people in the right lane. The lady next to him wouldn't let him in and was so busy yelling and pointing at him that she didn't realize the car in front of her had stopped. She hit the car, and since they had to assess the damage, exchange info, etc., my buddy was able to get right over and make his turn.
