PROPER ETIQUETTE FOR NORMAL LIFE

Proper etiquette is a good habit, not a sign of weakness.

We say please and thank you and you’re welcome.

Gym etiquette? Same. But not everyone gets it.

The job for us as citizens has a short list of requirements, starting with working it out instead of fighting it out.

Jacked up gym rats are not always the best examples for normal life.

At the same time normal life looks a little shaky, too.

If you take a date to the gym, don’t win her over with your heavy squatting routine if you don’t do squats.

One man learned how it works:

He showed up confident and looking good in designer gym clothes. The only thing missing was any sign of strength.

But that didn’t stop him.

His date came in with color coordinated clothes and shoes with a full face of camera-ready make-up.

He strutted over to the squat rack with no warm-up and did just enough to breakdown. First he was frozen on his hands and knees, then flattened out, finally to a fetal position.

His date stood near him on her phone declining all offers of help.

Was I the only one hoping I’d never be in a situation that needed help with someone as clueless?

Normal Life Problems Need Help From Proper Etiquette

It should be no shock that people need help when they get in trouble, but it helps when they recognize their own problems.

In spite of disinformation, misinformation, and completely shameless bullshit, we need the right answers when we take a turn for the worse.

After a year and a half of covid, the problem is getting worse. How can that happen in a country like America?

We’re a big place with lots of people holding opinions all their own. One such opinion is about wearing a mask and getting a covid vaccine.

It’s about fear, mistrust, doubts, and listening to quack advice from squirrelly governors and preachers and a continuing variety of non-medical people.

Why not make a change? Start with doing the exact opposite of the gym etiquette list.

Don’t make us look like bad parents.

It’s not asking too much to show proper etiquette.
