  • Ugh

    So I went to the gym today, and the 2 loud girls showed up maybe more than halfway through my usual routine, but this time they brought a kid, maybe 6 years old or so. I'm assuming one of the girls is the mother, because the kid was also loud, if not louder, than both of them. I was in the middle of watching an episode of Big Bang Theory on my phone, and even with my headphones turned all the way up, I could not hear anything other than the kid singing God Bless America (which for some reason she started singing almost immediately upon arrival). You'd think it'd be cute, but it wasn't. She was singing it very obnoxiously, being really loud and off-key, sorta like how Rosanne Barr sang the National Anthem at that Padres game back in the 90's (if you don't recall, it was possibly THE worst rendition of all-time). And neither of the girls said anything to the kid to be quiet or anything. Of course this was annoying the sh!t out of me, so maybe after a minute or so I literally hop off the treadmill and turn towards the door to leave. It was at that instant that one of the girls finally told the kid "be quiet or your grounded". But it was too late. I was already pissed, didn't feel like working out anymore, and had resigned to finishing the episode back at the apartment. Freakin' Merced, man. Even working out sucks here.
