This young girl was clumping down the street in these heels in such an uncoordinated fashion that everyone was staring.

But then I realized she was walking with her dad, so this still would have been allowed.

isn’t it embarrassing when

March 26th, 2009

you go to the bathroom and you accidentally tuck your skirt into your panties so you’re walking around with your ass hanging out all day?

I bet it’s even more embarrassing to be seen wearing a skirt that makes it look like you did that on purppose.

CrossFit LA goes bragging

March 24th, 2009

Shortly after they kicked me out of the gym, CrossFit LA posted this on their website (thanks to a reader for alerting me to this yesterday). They are really proud of themselves for throwing me out.

Can’t wait till I find out who said they wished they’d thrown me out earlier. What an impressive way to run a cult business. If only we all had such business ethic.

I can’t help but wonder why there is such a resistance to professionalism. I can’t imagine this sort of thing happening in other businesses. If you wrote something about your blog about your doctor or dentist, does that person have the right to refuse your business? If you complained about filthy conditions at 24 Hour Fitness, would they cancel your membership? If you went online and said your stockbroker was a moron, would that give him the right to retaliate? And if you did seek revenge by throwing someone out, would you go announcing it on your business website and then encourage other business owners to do the same?

How does one resist acting like a business while charging over $300/month for membership?

(I am going to Google myself and see if anyone has written anything negative about me, and then “fire” them. I may be firing you, blog readers, so you may as well censor yourself.

P.S. The ethics are even worse at Crossfit NorthWest Tucson. Check out the comment at the bottom. And they continue to malign this woman on the CrossFit LA site this week as well.

Crossfit = professional.
