(Guess how many egg whites this is. Yep, it is 12. Good job getting it so fast.)

When I make eye contact with a stranger, I tend to say hello, usually with “Hey, how’s it going?”

I did this at the gym yesterday morning, and the guy stops, and he’s like, “Do we know each other?”

We didn’t, but we’d passed each other a few times, and we’re members of the same gym, and it just makes sense to say hello at some point.

I’m like, “No, I don’t think so,” and he looks at what I’m doing, does a tough guy point like, “Enjoy your weights,” and moves on.

I’ve got no handle at all on whether it was a friendly exchange or a heated one, so I do another set, and then track the guy down. I reiterate I was just saying hello, extend my hand, and tell him my middle name is David.

He goes, “I think I said you should go enjoy enjoy your weights,” in what was actually a friendly tone, and I’m really lost now. He has no idea that he’s seriously impinged upon my ability to do that very thing.

What I said next, more or less:

“Look, I’m not trying to be difficult, but I really am trying to understand if you’re giving me a friendly wish to enjoy my weights, or if this is all like a passive aggressive…something.”

He stared at me for like eight seconds, and I was like, “okay” and walked away.

Later, I went home and ate so much protein.

Related, how only 1 of 4 people found this old Amazon review of canned tuna I did helpful, I don’t know:

Turns into Muscles, October 7, 2011
By Brian Spaeth

This review is from: Chicken of the Sea Tuna Chunk Light Water, 5 Ounce Tins (Pack of 48) (Grocery)

It came with 48 cans and they were all there. The tuna was good and is becoming muscles, ie it is protein. Do shoulder presses also. This is the same tuna Wolverine ate before the last movie. I used a spoon.

What is happened to society.
