you guys won’t stop guessing on why a 24 hour fitness has an escalator, I’m surprised that none of the other San Diegans have mentioned this yet, but the escalator leads to the SECOND DAMN STORY OF A STRIP MALL AND THE 24 HOUR FITNESS JUST HAPPENS TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE ESCALATOR. There, I said it. There are 20 stores to either side of the fitness center, and the fitness center is just located in the middle of the strip mall, where it is most convenient to put an escalator system. There is also an elevator system for wheelchair access. Sorry to ruin your fun beliefs that a 24 hour fitness center actually made itself an escalator. No, the strip mall did, before 24 hour fitness was ever there.
So how is it any less funny looking considering all we can see is the fitness center?
Also, you’re a jerkwad, no one thinks you any better for pointing out something to try and make the picture less funny. And use proper grammar next time.
Thank you for shopping at Fail blog, have a nice day! =D
I saw it in real life back in the early 90s, was on a road trip through the southwest out to LA. My girlfriend and I laughed our asses off when we saw it. This is in Beverly Hills and I think that completely explains the escalators. Hollywood types have both the laziness and doublethink necessary for something like this to happen.
This is the 24hr Fitness on Midway Dr. in San Diego. If you look at the sign on the right of the picture you can see a sign that say Point Loma at the top. I know this area all too well as I used to work at the Von’s next door.
If you really want a fitness fail go see my buddies at the Malt Shop across the parking lot, good stuff!
negative. You do have the right state but I do believe this is in San Climente. If not, they have a similar setup anyway. Apparently this isn’t uncommon at all.
Yet you continued attempting to post multiple times over a two-hour period… why? I think the world would have gone on with out your witty take on a photo online.
Here’s what you meant to say, with correct grammar: “Sorry about MY spelling fail. Stop being a butt-head. Besides, I did correct myself, but my computer is slow as hell.”
part of Malfeasants’ charm is his ability to make you bang yer head against a wall…the other part….well, um…oh yah! he never forgets! i’d change my name if i was YOU ‘bean(z)erboy’!
AND HEY! quit WHINING! this is fail blog…EVERTHING that fails is gonna get picked to death!
never forgets? are you kidding? i have a mind like a sieve
actually, corrupted filesystem is a more accurate analogy- it’s all in there, but good luck finding it…
well that’s a RELIEF!! i thought you remembered me & i was gonna get slammed (again!) XD!! you remembered for a good 3 pages before…i was impredded…or were you just scrolling around?
i personally tried defragging, but to no avail…’72 was a great year they tell me, but it was the begining of my short-term demise…
You have contributed to 1/2 of the posts so far. Congratulations.
Well, it’ll be 4/9 when I post this, and perhaps not if someone else has decided to post in the mean time. Either way… Wooooahhh Bessie! Slow down a bit eh?
Uh, 4/9 is actually less than 1/2. Sorry to break it to you… 4/9 = 8/18 = 0.444. 1/2 = 9/18 = 0.500. 0.500>0.444. Correction FAIL, basic elementary mathematics WIN!
Wow, you have no concept of what I was saying do you?
He had 4/8 of the posts at the time, but once I posted that very comment saying he had posted 4/8 (which I said as 1/2… sorry if that’s a bit of a Mathematical leap for you) of the posts, he then had posted 4/9 of the posts. Less, yes, but that’s the point… I fail to see why 1/2 being bigger than 4/9 (which you’d have to be retarded not to know) is relevant at all?
well, the specific type of networking via packet switching that we now know of as “the Internet” was developed in the 1960s, with the first documented message sent on October 29, 1969. (by the way, the first connection *outside* the US was in 1973, to Norway.) the official conversion to the TCP/IP standard occurred in 1982. so, choose your year, i guess.
premature criticism! to pinpoint the exact date of birth of the internet is difficult, because as you say, there was networking before “the internet”, but tcp/ip was around in 1973, and it’s goal was from the beginning to standardize networks o allow them to be interconnected- the term internet was coined in 1974- but even before that, arpanet is widely regarded as what the internet evolved from, and it came into existance in 1969- so
but of course all that’s a lie, al gore invented it
I don’t consider the 2 machines connected in 1969 to be much of a network, but that doesn’t matter so much. ARPANET switched to TCP/IP in the spring of 1983. Al Gore’s a little off, but he was a big supporter of the internet project, which was not going on in 1969 as most newspapers said it was (darned reporters don’t know what the Internet actually is).
Anyone who still believes that Al Gore ever claimed to have “invented” the Internet must also believe you can smoke banana peels. You can’t, I’ve tried.
There is some truth to the banana thing, its the stringy bits inside.
I know somebody who sat for 3 hours peeling the red skin from thousands of peanuts because someone told him he’d get high if he smoked it!
created, invented, big difference
it’s like the trust funder saying “we built a house” when they really mean “we hired an architect and a few contractors and they built us a house”
as one who has taken part in building a house, i take personal issue with that one.
by the end of 1969, there were 4 machines- one has to start somewhere- and the conversion to tcp may have been completed in ‘83, but the original rfc defining tcp is dated 1974- so close enough
Someone said the picture was older than the internet, then the next guy said the internet has been around since the early 70s, then the computer nerds jumped him, then someone brought up Al Gore. I think this is called digression.
I’m just waiting for “gasman” to come in and say “bend over and I’ll show you Al Gore.”
You know, if they post here, it means they can read, just tell them to go back and read the entire thread, it’s not like it’s super long or difficult. Not necessary to recap.
People, there is a PERFECTLY good reason for a fitness place to have escalators. The reason why is that most of them have physical therapists on staff. When people are injured, navigating steps can be extremely difficult. They can ride the escalator and not experience pain or risk further injury, and go see the physical therapist.
See, this is why you can’t have nice things until you finish anger management classes. Don’t make me get the spray bottle out! Bad Klaus! Bad bad Klaus!
if you are so injured you can’t walk up stairs, how are you getting around otherwise, hovering? perhaps hover boots do not have a 45 degree angle incline.
but then they would just use their jet packs of course!
I have a hell of a lot of trouble getting up stairs… as do a lot of disabled people.
And the place in the picture is part of a Mall! There’s a fucking sign on the right of the picture saying about where the 24 hour handicapped access to the upper floor is located… This picture is a failed fail!
And you lot who keep sayig it’s a fail, have all failed too.
many “fails” are based on proximity and observation such as a sewage dumping sign being above drinking water sign or LA weight loss being next to a cake factory. it is known as a joke. they don’t usually involve logical breakdowns, that tends to ruin the feature part of a joke called ‘being funny’.
Don’t waste your time, durr.There will always be some moron who basically feels they have to take a funny picture and make a case about it.I often think there is a large faction of people who have dropped their sense of humor in the commode and flushed.Why they insist on coming to failblog….I just don’t know……..Yeah I know..wall of text…Blah, blah, blah,.
Shane – your a fool of a boy! If someone is fit enough to go to the gym and do whatever, then they must be fit enough to get up some kurwa stairs… Anyway – lets just suppose your right, you lazy lardarse. I bet you use the fricking escalator so as not to drop your KFC family bucket and Ben and Gerrys 63 litre fat phuk phish icecream gut buster… and, i bet if I sat there for 10 minutes 99.9% of the American face stuffing pig friggers who go to the gym would also be squeezing on in there… YOUR COUNTRY IS EATING ITSELF TO DEATH… long live the Queen, thank you, goodnight.
Although I entirely agree with your correction of his misuse of ‘your,’ I don’t believe it’s actually a spelling fail. It’s really a grammar fail because whether it should be ‘your’ or ‘you’re,’ it was still spelled correctly.
I can see your point, but I would still call it a spelling fail. He spelled the word wrong, regardless of whether he correctly spelled a homophone of the word. Had he spelled ‘board’ instead of ‘bored’, I think most people would agree that that’s a spelling fail. Just my two cents, now I’ll wait for somebody to comment on the word ‘homophone’…
relly? maybe you should learn to spell before you hack on everyone else. I know I have spelling and grammar issues, so I try to not pick on people who make mistakes(who knows they may not speak english as a first language or be dyslexic or something) but when someone has their nose so far up their own ass like you do, I make an exception.
Oh dear – didn’t read whole thread did you? This is a continuation of a previous fail comment above… go away Glory. Try capitalizing ‘english’ and phuk off whilst your doing it…
In this context, the word American is an adjective describing the noun ‘pig-friggers’. Please re-read and then flagellate (I may have failed to spell that correctly – comments appreciated)
Thanks mall security guy. I like you a lot. Where is your mall? I try to be friendly and witty on the internet for some attention as I am stuck to a toilet and have been for the past 2 minutes… I don’t know how I’ll ever get out of here. I need people to tell me I’m funny so I can feel better in my last, sh1tting hours. God bless you and your mall (and all the fast food outlets and escalators theirin)
Thanks durr… a valium would be nice… I sat in the suna bit too long this afternoon and then wrote my comments to Shane in a hazy frame of mind. I also appreciate that not every fat person is lazy. They put a lot of effort into stuffing their faces… and yes, some lazy people are thin. Lucky them!
Your lazy insults suggest to me that you are incredibly fat… I hope, when you look at yourself in the mirror tonight, you think about how freaking fat you are and cry a little bit. I know it must be very sad for you but maybe… maybe if you didn’t eat so much it wouldn’t happen. You only haveyourself to blame. Your name ‘Anomnomnomymous ‘ hints at the shame you have, your desire to hide that ugly, rolling mound of flesh and grease. I hope it’s not too late for you.. There are organisations for you… good luck.
You have the balls to call my insults “lazy”, yet all I’ve seen from you so far is UR FAT ROFLCOPTER. Kettle, meet pot. If you’ll excuse me, I have a freezer full of ice cream cakes and a rental industrial sized fryalator that I have to return tomorrow, there is work to be done. Thanks for letting me borrow your McDonalds uniform for the week, I just wouldn’t feel right using this thing without wearing it.
Sorry Sara – again, a useful and well appreciated comment. Once again, I blame the hot midday sun for my grammar fail there. It won’t happen again. By the way, what are you wearing today?
And for his next trick, Gobby Bee will eat 4 pork faggots in 40 seconds, while carrying the Queen on his shoulders up the stairway just beside the escalator.
Thank you Doc. I appreciate you’re concern. I actually scored 10/10 on facebook’s their/they’re/there quiz… but here, I like to mix it up a little to get you guys all het up… it seems to bring the grammarians out of the woodwork and, though their not the wittiest of creatures, they’re add to the post count… Using the wrong their/they’re/there is also a little bit like teasing a cat or other simple animal… not in a cruel way… just to watch it confused or annoyed or concentrating It provides me with amusement and pleasure (and the grammarians too!) They love to have a juicy grammar mistake to sink there teeth into. I am sure this post will give them plenty to gossip over I would encourage more people to FIGHT THE SYSTEM, cock a hoop at the grammarians and use their/they’re/there in a completely random order! GOOD LUCK ALL
I love all you guys – your great! I am actually very ill at the moment and having some lively internet banter, the doctor’s say, might help my condition… I appreciate the witty cut and thrust of people like you guys and you’re humour, I believe, is helping to reduce the swelling a little. If I have offended anyone with my style of repartee then I apologize… best to do so now whilst I still can. On a serious note, I would like to point out that overeating really will destroy America. You’re National debt is climbing like a very fast squirrel who has seen a tasty nut… and Medicare/Medicaid or whatevery you call it is a huge proportion of this… and much of the people who use it are morbidly obese face-stuffers who use escalators, not to go to gyms, but to go to McDonalds/KFC etc…
Gluttony and greed are deadly sins and when you’re country comes crashing down around your ears, remember these words.
I certainly don’t hate Americans and, in fact, worked closely with two lovely people, Lee and Terri, who were over in Europe teaching, exercising and broadening their horizons. They gave me optimism in the American people… unfortunately, they are a tiny minority and don’t accurately reflect your population. How many of you can truthfully look in the mirror and say, my body is a healthy size? If you answer no, then really, seriously, think about doing something.
It looks like I will be snatched away by some dreadful little germ, something over which I had no choice. BUT you have a choice… you can start to fight back, to fight the weight, the desire to stuff fat and grease down your overstretched food pipe… DO IT NOW… before it’s too late.
Your really cute! I mean freakin’ hot! Bob Villa’s got nothin on you!! Are you good with wood, nails, and screws? How about wing-nuts and socket-sets? Are you versed in imperial or metric measurement? I can accomodate mostly any size, shane! Please talk to me?
wow a lot of hating for someone who is partially correct. they probably also have an elevator. In most places they are REQUIRED by law to be accessible. Also if there is a pool on site then they probably also have aquafit classes, which means people with knee injuries and old people etc. Most of which have issues with stairs. Yes Americans are eating themselves to death. those people who take the escalator who do not have joint problems are a definite failure.
I imagine this is for those people who have walked extra far from their cars and need a moment to cool down before going in and attempting to pick up a date.
oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say ni at will to old ladies. there is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.
aaah proof that every sperm is in fact not sacred.
am i missing how castlevania relates to monty python?
i mean beyond the fact that i do steal men’s souls, and make them my slaves!
Ok hon…back sloooooowly away from the keyboard…finger off the “caps lock” button…c’mon….theeeeere you go.that’s right….
Now here’s your meds and a nice glass of water…no, it didn’t come from the campsite where you are also staying all day “in” a near bench to watch the nice people drink poo…it’s nice, clean water. Drink it all down and just relax, ‘kay?
definitely seen this picture before, but almost worse (and I can’t find the old article right now or I’d link it) there was a gym near me that opened up a few years ago…they had valet parking. So not only lazy, but snobby as well.
not going to lie, if i had the money i would hire someone to carry me everywhere. screw valet parking, i’ll have sven walking.
that is until i can afford the hover boots.
does noone see the sign about handicapped parking? just because someone can’t use their legs properly doesnt mean they cant work out. Maybe my working with paraplegics has made me sensitive, but not everyone who will be using the escalator/ what looks like an elevator access on the side, will be a lazy fat Phuck like everyone seems to be assuming. Or is everyone just making said comments because they have no brain with which to realize that there are people in the world that are different than them? Or are they being sarcastic in an attempt to be funny?
there are more fat phucks in the world then paralyzed people. with the magic of probability, i can safely assume the vast majority of people using that escalator will be fat phucks.
i dunno have you been to the mall? everyone i see on the down escalators are hardly ever fat they are usually: teenagers who have lost brain space for motor function, elderly people who may in fact be zombies, couples who insist on standing side by side, people with kids (and who has less energy than a 3 year old?) or business people with over sized brief cases.
but then 98% of the people standing on a down escalator need to be set on fire because darwinism has failed to suck them into the treads like a cheap croc.
just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you SHOULD! I CAN throw stupid people off a bridge, doesn’t mean I will. I mean, If we got rid of all the stupid people, who would serve my coffee or clean my office? Capitalist society needs stupid people. Don’t you feel proud to be needed?
Besides I try and follow 2 rules
1) if the entry isnt age restricted I assume children go on the site. I attempt to watch my language around kids
2) I try not to say things I wouldnt say to a person’s face.
If you are so sensitive as to what you say on this site, how is it that you freely assume that the stupid people in the world are the ones serving coffee and cleaning offices? How can you go off on one person and then be so freely judgmental at the same time?!?! You have some valid points but this comment has pretty much discredited anything you have to say as far as I am concerned- it’s as naïve and narrow minded as the rest of the insults on this page. The only difference being that most of the others are half-way playful/ full of sh*t, yours came out as a side note and I think that tells more about a person than anything else.
I do not read sensitivity in Glory’s comment. I read a concern for kids. you can be judgemental/making a joke about someone’s intelligence and say it to people’s face. when you swear when kids are around you are just rude, and hurting kids who may or may not know what that word means and may use it inappropriately. As to saying things to peoples faces, i think it makes sense. You can still joke about intelligence and other jokes but to be downright hurtful to people you dont even know, or tell people to die because you don’t agree with them is juvenile, moronic and in some cases illegal. I think, Glory thinks that a lot people need some common sense. Correct me if I’m wrong.
if we got rid of all the stupid people, you wouldn’t have time to worry about who will bring you your coffee and clean your office, you’d probably be too busy bringing me my coffee and cleaning my office. j/k, i drink tea actually.
stupid is relative.
also, welcome to the internet, where people say all kinds of shit they’d never say to a person’s face. if you’re sensitive, don’t bother. on the other hand, if your looking for porn, we have plenty of that.
The thing I hate the most is when people walk up escalators instead of taking the stairs. They tend to push by you like YOU are the moron just standing there on a escalators like that’s not what they’re meant for.
I am talking about if we were going up or down the same escalator, and you are so impatient to wait until the end and decide to walk it. WHY IN THE HELL DIDN’T YOU TAKE THE EFFIN STAIRS IN THE BEGINNING.
People act as if you stand there it’s dumbest thing ever. The reason for escalators is for we wouldn’t have to use our legs in the effin first place.
If you want to walk up to get to the second, third or fouth level than us the effin stairs.
Oh I am not talking about you (Malfeasant) per say.
That makes no sense “not every place has stairs”, oh but they have escalators. When something is built stairs are automatically built along with it for workers can go up and down then soon patricians would use them, also stairs are built
for safety reasons too.
Umm if you notice how wide escalators are standing to the right won’t do
you any good because they are not wide like normal stairs and God for
bid if got any bags in your arms.
so now when I go on the escalator I must stand squished to right for ppl
who don’t want to take the regular stairs can go by.
WHHHAAATT??? (When something is built stairs are automatically built along with it for workers can go up and down then soon patricians would use them, also stairs are built
for safety reasons too.) ARE YOU FREAKIN’ CAPPED OR WHAT?
workers use scaffolds and i have NO IDEA what a patrician is, but i’m SURE they can use the elevator!! oh! almost forgot!! STAIRS ARE FOR SAFETY???? shut the F*@& up!!
you made my head hurt!!
WOW you get really mad easily…….even though NO ONE WAS EVEN TALKING TO YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE.
So tell me…. what building has no stairs or a place with several levels?
I doubt that there is a place.
That patrician word was the wrong word that i used, but it means someone of noble birth or a aristocrat. I trying to use the word that means customer besides using the word customer.
Scaffolds are mostly used for the outer part of a building , but the also us stairs too (for the inner part of a building).
Well if you get into a conversation where you don’t belong then you head will hurt.
cee-cee…see, i am an INSPECTOR…INSIDE buildings….and when they are being CONSTRUCTED there are SCAFFOLDS….stairs come later…and stairs are NOT for safety but more for convienience (sic) and out of habbit. i have been inside buildings with only elevators –stairs are in hallways that set off alarms IN CASE of emergency when opened– AND! finally….just use the words you KNOW!! or google them to be sure….i hold NDE L/II UT/MT/PT/VT just so you know.
You’re an inspector inside buildings…..do they ever let you out.
Also I hope you wrote up those buildings with elevators, but with no
stairs because that is clearly a violation, and hallways are not part
of a building?
I do use words I know, but sometime they get lost. Oh yea figured
out the word read my comment above yours.
You may hold NDE L/II UT/MT/PT/VT, but I have no clue what you’re
typing.
And one last important thing I want to say………WHEN AM I GOING
TO GET THAT COOKIE?
I know what you are talking about. Go to DC and try standing on the left, see how long it is before someone yells at you or even shoves you. Why walk up stairs when you can walk up an escalator at twice the speed? If you want to be lazy and stand, that’s fine, the two can co-exist- just stand on the right.
Standing on the right side is a rule that impatient ppl made up and is followed by other ppl (patient ppl) so not to cause friction. But what is the point in putting in escalators if ppl are still going to walk up them just use the regular stairs.
Stand on the escalator is not being lazy that is what you are suppose to do on them. Pushing ppl aside just because you want to go up the escalator faster
is not what you are suppose to do on a escalator.
But I guess I am one of those ppl that use things the way the are meant to
be used. sigh
He already told you the point in walking or running up escalators. If someone is in a hurry, walking up the escalator is faster than the stairs because the escalator carries you up while you also take yourself up. Stairs don’t move at all.
Again what is the point of running or walking up the escalator when
you are going to get there faster than if you were walking up stairs?
If you stand on an escalator and wait to reach the top or the bottom you
will get the faster than if you walked the stairs.
My point is ppl that push someone aside to go by on the escalator and
act as if you are in the wrong for standing there instead of
walking up like they are.
sighs… do you drive 55 in the left lane too? do you justify your position by noting that you are driving the speed limit so nobody should need to pass you?
So if you were going the speed limit and an impatient person comes along and decides to pass you, but ends up hitting you while passing because they were impatient to wait and go the speed limit, is that ok?
The speed limit is there for a reason to give ppl guidance and not have everyone moving all over each other.
Yea ppl stand to the right to let other pass (I do that also), but that doesn’t mean they have the right. It’s do to the fact patient ppl allow impatient ppl to go for there won’t be any friction or problem.
My point again….Why don’t ppl who are so impatient just rush up the regular stairs instead of pushing aside ppl on the escalator if they are so annoyed by ppl standing on escalators?
because it’s faster to rush up an escalator, that point has been made repeatedly- not everybody does it because they’re in a hurry, i tend to walk up an escalator just because i’m a bit of a fatass and it’s good for me. and because as ya-ya said, some buildings don’t have stairs in the same place as escalators
Actually Ya-ya said that some building don’t have stair, but
elevators instead……does that seem right? People in those buildings
are f*ucked up in a emergency when the elevators don’t work.
Also I get that it is faster to walk or run up or down an escalator, but
point is and has always been. Why do the impatient ppl look
at the patient ppl stupidly as if they are in the wrong, meaning
standing on the escalator is the wrong thing to do?
And I am sorry to hear that you are an fat ass, maybe if you
start walking up and down the regular stairs you will lose the
weight.
however long it took to count all his fingers, take off his shoes & socks, remember where he left off counting, and continue to 15 on however many toes he has…
This isn’t FAIL at all! The purpose of 24 hour fitness is to collect money from fat people who never actually show up. Makes perfect sense to have escalators.
Ok, I dont’ quite get it. Are we failing the escalators (not sure how you spell it, I’m tired and don’t care) at the fitness place? Or the people taking them? I’m sure the escalators are there (more then likely) for handicapped individuals. I laughed more at the two people taking them who don’t look handicapped.
The fail is having escalators in front of a fitness center in the first place. The individuals taking them are pretty dumb, too. Handicapped individuals usually don’t use stairs or escalators at all even when not confined to a wheel chair. Ramps are best.
SUPER MEGA UBER EPIC FAIL!
SAme here Ive seen it before
Conversation with yourself fail
HAHA, think this is the one in San Diego, Ocean Beach. Glad to see I’m not the only one who thought this was stupid
you spelt über wrong.
hahaha talking to urself dumbass
omg nice dai today
Anyone can make the same name…
Yeah, but the image to the left of the name is different for every IP address. So it’s obvious that you’re not correcting yourself right here.
Yeah but the image to the left of one’s name is different for every IP address. So it’s obvious that you’re not correcting yourself here.
first sign of maddness=talking to yourself
second sign of madness=looking for hairs on the palm of your hand
third sign of maddness=finding them
So I go through all three signs of madness whenever I pet my cat? I knew they were driving me nuts, now I have proof!
I am sure already I saw this picture on FAIL Blog before.
On Failblog on February 17, 2008. Rerun = FAIL.
I’d say it’s just MEGA UBER EPIC FAIL.
you guys won’t stop guessing on why a 24 hour fitness has an escalator, I’m surprised that none of the other San Diegans have mentioned this yet, but the escalator leads to the SECOND DAMN STORY OF A STRIP MALL AND THE 24 HOUR FITNESS JUST HAPPENS TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE ESCALATOR. There, I said it. There are 20 stores to either side of the fitness center, and the fitness center is just located in the middle of the strip mall, where it is most convenient to put an escalator system. There is also an elevator system for wheelchair access. Sorry to ruin your fun beliefs that a 24 hour fitness center actually made itself an escalator. No, the strip mall did, before 24 hour fitness was ever there.
So how is it any less funny looking considering all we can see is the fitness center?
Also, you’re a jerkwad, no one thinks you any better for pointing out something to try and make the picture less funny. And use proper grammar next time.
Thank you for shopping at Fail blog, have a nice day! =D
Ohhh, joo got QWNED!
the fun part is that the stairs could be going downwards, making you climb hard to get to the fitness
)
haha i live right by there its in San Clemente ive been waiting for someone to take a picture of that
Ahaha, seen it before but it’s still good.
Same.
I saw it in real life back in the early 90s, was on a road trip through the southwest out to LA. My girlfriend and I laughed our asses off when we saw it. This is in Beverly Hills and I think that completely explains the escalators. Hollywood types have both the laziness and doublethink necessary for something like this to happen.
This is the 24 Hour Fitness in Point Loma, CA — on Midway Drive.
Socal fails again.
i never take the escalator.
This is on Midway Drive in Point Loma, CA
Socal fails yet again.
Actually this is in Point Loma, CA. Right down the street from my office. Had a membership here at one time.
Would somebody PLEASE tell us where this is?
This is in Soviet Russia prolly
lol. I love it.
lmao
This is the 24hr Fitness on Midway Dr. in San Diego. If you look at the sign on the right of the picture you can see a sign that say Point Loma at the top. I know this area all too well as I used to work at the Von’s next door.
If you really want a fitness fail go see my buddies at the Malt Shop across the parking lot, good stuff!
sure. point loma.
Socal fails still moar.
Well the escalator on the left could be used as a free stair climber. No need for a membership!
1984 reference win!
negative. You do have the right state but I do believe this is in San Climente. If not, they have a similar setup anyway. Apparently this isn’t uncommon at all.
Oldest fail picture fail.
You mean oldest fail picture WIN.
HAHAHAHAHAHA FAT NOOBS!!!!!
SORRY REALY
Spelling fail.
Still a spelling Fail.
How ?
look up realy in a dictionary- did you find it? really?
Sorry about spelling fail so stop being butt head. Besides I corrected myself. But my computer is as slow as hell.
whining crybaby fail
O, rly?
ya rly
rly rly?
No Wai!

Sorry about spelling fail so stop being butt head. Besides I corrected myself. But my computer is as slow as hell.
O, rally?
ya rally
rally rally?
ok srlsy? rly?
No U!
Yet you continued attempting to post multiple times over a two-hour period… why? I think the world would have gone on with out your witty take on a photo online.
Here’s what you meant to say, with correct grammar: “Sorry about MY spelling fail. Stop being a butt-head. Besides, I did correct myself, but my computer is slow as hell.”
Translation win.
hey, i wasn’t criticizing you, but Max didn’t know what was misspelled, i felt the need to point it out
part of Malfeasants’ charm is his ability to make you bang yer head against a wall…the other part….well, um…oh yah! he never forgets! i’d change my name if i was YOU ‘bean(z)erboy’!
AND HEY! quit WHINING! this is fail blog…EVERTHING that fails is gonna get picked to death!
never forgets? are you kidding? i have a mind like a sieve
actually, corrupted filesystem is a more accurate analogy- it’s all in there, but good luck finding it…
well that’s a RELIEF!! i thought you remembered me & i was gonna get slammed (again!) XD!! you remembered for a good 3 pages before…i was impredded…or were you just scrolling around?
i personally tried defragging, but to no avail…’72 was a great year they tell me, but it was the begining of my short-term demise…
impressed…NOT IMPREDDED…although it DOES sound like fun!! yup! i’m gonna tell every-one we impredded now…tee-hee!
i feel so dirdy now…
I meant to spell really
Sbeen posted before.
Still, definitely one of the best!
Isn’t it posted on this site before?
REALLY
You have contributed to 1/2 of the posts so far. Congratulations.
Well, it’ll be 4/9 when I post this, and perhaps not if someone else has decided to post in the mean time. Either way… Wooooahhh Bessie! Slow down a bit eh?
wait, if you added a post, how did his ratio of posts go up?
Basic elementary mathematics FAIL!
lol, fail
One is forced to imagine he’s trying to generate traffic, because he’s in the picture.
since when has there been a rule on how many comments someone can make?
Agreed. We really shouldn’t limit people who are correcting their own spelling fails…
Sorry i just have a weird thing for talking. I guess it might be a accident talking fail.
Sorry i just have a weird thing for talking. I guess it might be a accident talking fail.
not heard you talking yet….. maybe you have a weird thing for typing?
Uh, 4/9 is actually less than 1/2. Sorry to break it to you… 4/9 = 8/18 = 0.444. 1/2 = 9/18 = 0.500. 0.500>0.444. Correction FAIL, basic elementary mathematics WIN!
Wow, you have no concept of what I was saying do you?
He had 4/8 of the posts at the time, but once I posted that very comment saying he had posted 4/8 (which I said as 1/2… sorry if that’s a bit of a Mathematical leap for you) of the posts, he then had posted 4/9 of the posts. Less, yes, but that’s the point… I fail to see why 1/2 being bigger than 4/9 (which you’d have to be retarded not to know) is relevant at all?
older than the internet.
The Internet’s been around since 1973. This building is 1990s era.
What, these lard tubs don’t want an early start on the StairMaster?
The Internet wasn’t around in 1973. Go look it up. The Internet != computer networking.
well, the specific type of networking via packet switching that we now know of as “the Internet” was developed in the 1960s, with the first documented message sent on October 29, 1969. (by the way, the first connection *outside* the US was in 1973, to Norway.) the official conversion to the TCP/IP standard occurred in 1982. so, choose your year, i guess.
is that YOU mr. watson?
premature criticism! to pinpoint the exact date of birth of the internet is difficult, because as you say, there was networking before “the internet”, but tcp/ip was around in 1973, and it’s goal was from the beginning to standardize networks o allow them to be interconnected- the term internet was coined in 1974- but even before that, arpanet is widely regarded as what the internet evolved from, and it came into existance in 1969- so
but of course all that’s a lie, al gore invented it
I don’t consider the 2 machines connected in 1969 to be much of a network, but that doesn’t matter so much. ARPANET switched to TCP/IP in the spring of 1983. Al Gore’s a little off, but he was a big supporter of the internet project, which was not going on in 1969 as most newspapers said it was (darned reporters don’t know what the Internet actually is).
Al Gore’s a liar, my husband’s grandpa invented the internet. Really. Or realy.
Anyone who still believes that Al Gore ever claimed to have “invented” the Internet must also believe you can smoke banana peels. You can’t, I’ve tried.
What if you dry them out first?
When I told my friends I tried it, I about had to transport them to the hospital they laughed so much.
There is some truth to the banana thing, its the stringy bits inside.
I know somebody who sat for 3 hours peeling the red skin from thousands of peanuts because someone told him he’d get high if he smoked it!
What people will do to escape their sad lives…
created, invented, big difference
it’s like the trust funder saying “we built a house” when they really mean “we hired an architect and a few contractors and they built us a house”
as one who has taken part in building a house, i take personal issue with that one.
did you try mashing the peals with oregano then SLOW drying them in the oven?
wow…how’d this end up HERE??? i KNOW i wrote it before! hmmmm…back to stoli!
by the end of 1969, there were 4 machines- one has to start somewhere- and the conversion to tcp may have been completed in ‘83, but the original rfc defining tcp is dated 1974- so close enough
Knowledge Fail
What does the internet have to do with anything?
Someone said the picture was older than the internet, then the next guy said the internet has been around since the early 70s, then the computer nerds jumped him, then someone brought up Al Gore. I think this is called digression.
I’m just waiting for “gasman” to come in and say “bend over and I’ll show you Al Gore.”
Bend me over and I’ll show you gore
much better! back to the fail blog we all know & love!!
You know, if they post here, it means they can read, just tell them to go back and read the entire thread, it’s not like it’s super long or difficult. Not necessary to recap.
no, not necessary, but slightly amusing recap
…then “bonocat” said “You know, if they post here, it means they can read”
…then I said “bonocat, you’re Mom’s at my door, and this time she’s wearing clothes, should I let her in again?
Hey mall security, are you 1? Cause your ‘comeback’ is lame!! Only tweens get upset when you talk about their moms. Come on dude!!!!
GET a LIFE fail.

First gay who posts after you… Is a post…?

word order fail
also world order fail?

In Soviet Russia, order fails world.
In Soviet Russia, word orders you!
Feel the burn!
lame repost. C’mon admins. what the hell?
If both escalators were coming down, that would be serious win.
People, there is a PERFECTLY good reason for a fitness place to have escalators. The reason why is that most of them have physical therapists on staff. When people are injured, navigating steps can be extremely difficult. They can ride the escalator and not experience pain or risk further injury, and go see the physical therapist.
shut up you lazy fatty
I hate you, Shane. Die.
See, this is why you can’t have nice things until you finish anger management classes. Don’t make me get the spray bottle out! Bad Klaus! Bad bad Klaus!
I just want some pudding.
If you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?
reference win.
LMAO! Awesome!!!
I don’t need no arms around me….
Shut up Byers.
This Shane guy think he is so smart.-OH IM SHANE IM SMRAT!!!111
I hope that’s not his real picture. Smug bastard.
I think it is, he looks so smug!!!1
SHANE DIE!!!11 I hate him
click on his name to read his blog. It really was such a pleasure….that is if I was looking to castrate myself with text.
OH, my name is Shane, I have a website!!111 Such a smug bastrad!!11
OK, you have a point, but we got the point the first time.
“I R TEH SMRAT!!!111″ <— Fixed
then they should put in a ramp.
a lot less money and a LOT less stupid looking!
oh hai, i can haz ramp?
if you are so injured you can’t walk up stairs, how are you getting around otherwise, hovering? perhaps hover boots do not have a 45 degree angle incline.
but then they would just use their jet packs of course!
I have a hell of a lot of trouble getting up stairs… as do a lot of disabled people.
And the place in the picture is part of a Mall! There’s a fucking sign on the right of the picture saying about where the 24 hour handicapped access to the upper floor is located… This picture is a failed fail!
And you lot who keep sayig it’s a fail, have all failed too.
here have a nice cup of calm down, valium cookie?
many “fails” are based on proximity and observation such as a sewage dumping sign being above drinking water sign or LA weight loss being next to a cake factory. it is known as a joke. they don’t usually involve logical breakdowns, that tends to ruin the feature part of a joke called ‘being funny’.
Don’t waste your time, durr.There will always be some moron who basically feels they have to take a funny picture and make a case about it.I often think there is a large faction of people who have dropped their sense of humor in the commode and flushed.Why they insist on coming to failblog….I just don’t know……..Yeah I know..wall of text…Blah, blah, blah,.
You had me at valium cookies.
*guffawz out loud*
Man, I bet there’s not shit secure at your mall.
That reminds me, I should probably go walk around, maybe look at some hot under-aged teenage chicks, pretend I care if anyone’s shoplifting, etc.
take these valium cookies with you.
underage chicks LOVE cookies as much as they love shoplifting.
and you can’t say no if you’re passed out!
uh–not that i know. that could have been anyone at old navy!
Those guys on the escalator don’t look disabled nor like they’re having a very hard time going up stairs.. One of them is walking up the escalator.
PS. Spelling error fail. Spell check before saying everyone else fails too.
Shane – your a fool of a boy! If someone is fit enough to go to the gym and do whatever, then they must be fit enough to get up some kurwa stairs… Anyway – lets just suppose your right, you lazy lardarse. I bet you use the fricking escalator so as not to drop your KFC family bucket and Ben and Gerrys 63 litre fat phuk phish icecream gut buster… and, i bet if I sat there for 10 minutes 99.9% of the American face stuffing pig friggers who go to the gym would also be squeezing on in there… YOUR COUNTRY IS EATING ITSELF TO DEATH… long live the Queen, thank you, goodnight.
ranting fail.
I ranted… I WIN
wow! do you feel better atleast?
Like Tony the Tiger, I FEEL GRRRREAT
Burn of the week attempt FAIL
Breaking news, Gobby Bee still sucks.
If by that you mean I still suck your momma’s titties, you’d be 100% correct.
We’ll see… While your on here, maybe you should add a ‘t’ to the end of your silly name.
While YOU’RE on here, you should learn to spell.
Although I entirely agree with your correction of his misuse of ‘your,’ I don’t believe it’s actually a spelling fail. It’s really a grammar fail because whether it should be ‘your’ or ‘you’re,’ it was still spelled correctly.
I can see your point, but I would still call it a spelling fail. He spelled the word wrong, regardless of whether he correctly spelled a homophone of the word. Had he spelled ‘board’ instead of ‘bored’, I think most people would agree that that’s a spelling fail. Just my two cents, now I’ll wait for somebody to comment on the word ‘homophone’…
i started reading that three times, but i simply cannot be bothered.
CAPTIVATING FAIL.
Which word did you get stuck on simple david… ’someone’ is quite long… I’ll try and keep words under 5 letters for you next time.
5 letters is too long. try limiting the length of your words to 0 or fewer letters. thanks for your consideration.
thats effing funny.. oh yes, it really is
The hills are alive with the sound of zinging.
I don’t think I can beat that witty retort Davey baby – you do, indeed WIN. Give that man a cigar
Ice cream company name spelling fail.
Acknowledged Sara… thanks for your impartial and balanced feedback. I like the cut of your gib… nay, I fawn over the cut of your gib. Kisses x x x
And you think AMERICANS are butchering the English language?
Yes, I do…I relly do…
relly? maybe you should learn to spell before you hack on everyone else. I know I have spelling and grammar issues, so I try to not pick on people who make mistakes(who knows they may not speak english as a first language or be dyslexic or something) but when someone has their nose so far up their own ass like you do, I make an exception.
Oh dear – didn’t read whole thread did you? This is a continuation of a previous fail comment above… go away Glory. Try capitalizing ‘english’ and phuk off whilst your doing it…
wow again.. you relly are a turd fondler. okay, i read the whole thing and agree w/ glory. how does it smell with yer head so far up there?
Spelling fail: It’s ‘really’ – NOT RELLY! What’s a yer? Are you really a lady? What is a turd fondler? Do you like pigeons?
Do you read what you write before you post?
Maybe the American he’s referring to by “99.9% of the American”(What the .1% that’s not eating is doing is anyone’s guess) could eat him next.
In this context, the word American is an adjective describing the noun ‘pig-friggers’. Please re-read and then flagellate (I may have failed to spell that correctly – comments appreciated)
You’re cracking me up man.
Only the English can be polite while slamming someone.
Thanks mall security guy. I like you a lot. Where is your mall? I try to be friendly and witty on the internet for some attention as I am stuck to a toilet and have been for the past 2 minutes… I don’t know how I’ll ever get out of here. I need people to tell me I’m funny so I can feel better in my last, sh1tting hours. God bless you and your mall (and all the fast food outlets and escalators theirin)
looks like you need a valium cookie too. long live prince valium.
p.s. not everyone who is lazy is fat and not everyone who is fat is lazy. way to win at insults and ignorance!
Thanks durr… a valium would be nice… I sat in the suna bit too long this afternoon and then wrote my comments to Shane in a hazy frame of mind. I also appreciate that not every fat person is lazy. They put a lot of effort into stuffing their faces… and yes, some lazy people are thin. Lucky them!
I’ve had 2 lortabs and a soma and I seem to be doing just finvfgrk,nhheuidismn, and thendhfitmbuim.ejf…jhjfhuf….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Gobby Bee… use the correct “you’re” next time and maybe we’ll listen to what you’re saying.
No we won’t, he’ll still be a corn turd
not to mention a dirty limey
You guys are all really mean to me
I WIN… I really do sometimes WIN… I don’t always FAIL =o(
Hey Sara – I am dirty baby! And limey and lemony – come and taste the tingly, zesty zing! Mmmm mmm
Never had it….never will.
Your lazy insults suggest to me that you are incredibly fat… I hope, when you look at yourself in the mirror tonight, you think about how freaking fat you are and cry a little bit. I know it must be very sad for you but maybe… maybe if you didn’t eat so much it wouldn’t happen. You only haveyourself to blame. Your name ‘Anomnomnomymous ‘ hints at the shame you have, your desire to hide that ugly, rolling mound of flesh and grease. I hope it’s not too late for you.. There are organisations for you… good luck.
Nice bi-polar comments. You’re still an ass hat.
You’re still a fat ass… but you don’t have to be… all it takes is the first step – and I don’t mean on the escalator Mr Anomnomnomymous
You have the balls to call my insults “lazy”, yet all I’ve seen from you so far is UR FAT ROFLCOPTER. Kettle, meet pot. If you’ll excuse me, I have a freezer full of ice cream cakes and a rental industrial sized fryalator that I have to return tomorrow, there is work to be done. Thanks for letting me borrow your McDonalds uniform for the week, I just wouldn’t feel right using this thing without wearing it.
I’m starting to like you Anomnomnomymous
‘UR FAT ROFLCOPTER’ I like the cut of your gib. Well Done! NO FAIL
I could take the aggressive route here, but screw it. Extending the olive branch win.
Yayy – want to be my facebook friend?? I’ll poke you and send you friendy circulars. Mmmm Olives! Give me a make up kiss??? pa pa x x x
I AM DOMINATING AND PWNING TONIGHT – Eat my balls!
they’re DIET vallium cookies…now won’t you PLEASE eat one dear…?
Sorry Sara – again, a useful and well appreciated comment. Once again, I blame the hot midday sun for my grammar fail there. It won’t happen again. By the way, what are you wearing today?
I’m wearing enough self respect not to answer that question. Thanks for asking, though!
She’s wearing the Queen’s undies! (did I spell that right?)
And for his next trick, Gobby Bee will eat 4 pork faggots in 40 seconds, while carrying the Queen on his shoulders up the stairway just beside the escalator.
Damn right I will!
You know anti-Americanism is a mental disorder, so, like, you’re telling us all you’re completely bonkers. Just…so you know.
ps take your meds
If ‘your’ gonna rant, then learn the difference between ‘your’ and ‘you’re’ for God’s sake.
Explanation: “you’re an a$$hole.” Or “Your mother is a slut.”
Learn it. Live it. Know it.
Own it.
Thank you Doc. I appreciate you’re concern. I actually scored 10/10 on facebook’s their/they’re/there quiz… but here, I like to mix it up a little to get you guys all het up… it seems to bring the grammarians out of the woodwork and, though their not the wittiest of creatures, they’re add to the post count… Using the wrong their/they’re/there is also a little bit like teasing a cat or other simple animal… not in a cruel way… just to watch it confused or annoyed or concentrating
It provides me with amusement and pleasure (and the grammarians too!) They love to have a juicy grammar mistake to sink there teeth into. I am sure this post will give them plenty to gossip over
I would encourage more people to FIGHT THE SYSTEM, cock a hoop at the grammarians and use their/they’re/there in a completely random order! GOOD LUCK ALL
have you tried one of ‘durr’s valium cookies? PLEASE DO!!
I love all you guys – your great! I am actually very ill at the moment and having some lively internet banter, the doctor’s say, might help my condition… I appreciate the witty cut and thrust of people like you guys and you’re humour, I believe, is helping to reduce the swelling a little. If I have offended anyone with my style of repartee then I apologize… best to do so now whilst I still can. On a serious note, I would like to point out that overeating really will destroy America. You’re National debt is climbing like a very fast squirrel who has seen a tasty nut… and Medicare/Medicaid or whatevery you call it is a huge proportion of this… and much of the people who use it are morbidly obese face-stuffers who use escalators, not to go to gyms, but to go to McDonalds/KFC etc…
Gluttony and greed are deadly sins and when you’re country comes crashing down around your ears, remember these words.
I certainly don’t hate Americans and, in fact, worked closely with two lovely people, Lee and Terri, who were over in Europe teaching, exercising and broadening their horizons. They gave me optimism in the American people… unfortunately, they are a tiny minority and don’t accurately reflect your population. How many of you can truthfully look in the mirror and say, my body is a healthy size? If you answer no, then really, seriously, think about doing something.
It looks like I will be snatched away by some dreadful little germ, something over which I had no choice. BUT you have a choice… you can start to fight back, to fight the weight, the desire to stuff fat and grease down your overstretched food pipe… DO IT NOW… before it’s too late.
Long Live the Queen and God Bless America.
Gobby
you’re just mad ’cause your family missed the boat & you’re stuck accross the pond!! WE WIN!! (we won, we win, we RULE!! God bless America!!)
Thanks, now there is a PERFECTLY good reason to kick your ass. :p
Hi Shane!
Your really cute! I mean freakin’ hot! Bob Villa’s got nothin on you!! Are you good with wood, nails, and screws? How about wing-nuts and socket-sets? Are you versed in imperial or metric measurement? I can accomodate mostly any size, shane! Please talk to me?
wow a lot of hating for someone who is partially correct. they probably also have an elevator. In most places they are REQUIRED by law to be accessible. Also if there is a pool on site then they probably also have aquafit classes, which means people with knee injuries and old people etc. Most of which have issues with stairs. Yes Americans are eating themselves to death. those people who take the escalator who do not have joint problems are a definite failure.
Yeah, I’m trying to figure out why all the Shane-hatin’, too. I’m kinda thinking people are jealous of his moustache.
easy….it’s called “pack mentality” followed by a good dose of natural selection…as long as you don’t expose your belly, you should be ok…lol
typical, buckling under the pressure of big physical therapy.
nobody likes youn Shane, go away don’t come back
Youn Shane? Is he in the new Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
sorry, typo
Don’t worry aldafooc, we’re used to it from you by now.
24 HOUR FITNESS DOESN NOT HAVE PHYSICAL THERAPISTS YOU IDIOT MORON. IT’S A GYM FOR ABLE BODIED NORMIES.
INDEED!!
Yeaahhh – You slayed Shane – You rock – Shane FAAAAIIIIILLLLLSSSS!!! HA HAHA HA
Old post is old.

I imagine this is for those people who have walked extra far from their cars and need a moment to cool down before going in and attempting to pick up a date.
yay, repost win! : D
shopophoted
photopooped
I want to photoshop a shrubbery.
niiiiiiiii
oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say ni at will to old ladies. there is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.
Die monster! You don’t belong in this world!
aaah proof that every sperm is in fact not sacred.
am i missing how castlevania relates to monty python?
i mean beyond the fact that i do steal men’s souls, and make them my slaves!

Repost Fail.
Booooooooooooooo~~~~~~
same as one posted before, but in the other one everyone was whining about how the 24 hour part was photoshopped out.
It must be for those who had to park their Hummer too far away and now need a cool down before going in and pretending to workout.
Why not… they drove to the gym in their Escalade so they could do the treadmill…..
It’s just their new incline machine, you are supposed to go against the stair direction to make it hard.
MAN, I would stay all day in a near bench just to see the fattys being lazy!! LOL!!!11 AWESOME!!1!!!
Ok hon…back sloooooowly away from the keyboard…finger off the “caps lock” button…c’mon….theeeeere you go.that’s right….
Now here’s your meds and a nice glass of water…no, it didn’t come from the campsite where you are also staying all day “in” a near bench to watch the nice people drink poo…it’s nice, clean water. Drink it all down and just relax, ‘kay?
ROFLOL!!!!!11
ELEVEN!
*sigh……*
Dragon, hims a can comment on a photoes.
CAPS LOCK?
why is the entrance not on the ground floor anyway?
You don’t break a sweat ’til you have to.
Fail is fail… the fitness business there is part of a shopping center (or a Mall to you US types
)
Cropped pic to fool you wins.
definitely seen this picture before, but almost worse (and I can’t find the old article right now or I’d link it) there was a gym near me that opened up a few years ago…they had valet parking. So not only lazy, but snobby as well.
not going to lie, if i had the money i would hire someone to carry me everywhere. screw valet parking, i’ll have sven walking.
that is until i can afford the hover boots.
old.
does noone see the sign about handicapped parking? just because someone can’t use their legs properly doesnt mean they cant work out. Maybe my working with paraplegics has made me sensitive, but not everyone who will be using the escalator/ what looks like an elevator access on the side, will be a lazy fat Phuck like everyone seems to be assuming. Or is everyone just making said comments because they have no brain with which to realize that there are people in the world that are different than them? Or are they being sarcastic in an attempt to be funny?
there are more fat phucks in the world then paralyzed people. with the magic of probability, i can safely assume the vast majority of people using that escalator will be fat phucks.
i dunno have you been to the mall? everyone i see on the down escalators are hardly ever fat they are usually: teenagers who have lost brain space for motor function, elderly people who may in fact be zombies, couples who insist on standing side by side, people with kids (and who has less energy than a 3 year old?) or business people with over sized brief cases.
but then 98% of the people standing on a down escalator need to be set on fire because darwinism has failed to suck them into the treads like a cheap croc.
Who has LESS energy than the parents of a three year old? Also three year olds beg to ride the escalator, mine would do it all day if you let her.
true. let me revise:
with the magic of probability, i can safely assume that the number of fat fucks will far out weigh the number of paralyzed people using the escalator.
All of the above, I’m thinking. Reductive thinking [sic] seems to rule on this site.
redundant?
Anybody who’s not just like me is wrong.
Conform people!
You mean to be a mall security guy?
well I was blessed to be the opposite sex and my education level is much too high for a mall security job. I guess I lucked out. Damn *snaps finger*.
Your mom isn’t here to slap your hand if you say a bad word. You’re allowed to swear on the internet.
just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you SHOULD! I CAN throw stupid people off a bridge, doesn’t mean I will. I mean, If we got rid of all the stupid people, who would serve my coffee or clean my office? Capitalist society needs stupid people. Don’t you feel proud to be needed?
Besides I try and follow 2 rules
1) if the entry isnt age restricted I assume children go on the site. I attempt to watch my language around kids
2) I try not to say things I wouldnt say to a person’s face.
If you are so sensitive as to what you say on this site, how is it that you freely assume that the stupid people in the world are the ones serving coffee and cleaning offices? How can you go off on one person and then be so freely judgmental at the same time?!?! You have some valid points but this comment has pretty much discredited anything you have to say as far as I am concerned- it’s as naïve and narrow minded as the rest of the insults on this page. The only difference being that most of the others are half-way playful/ full of sh*t, yours came out as a side note and I think that tells more about a person than anything else.
Yeah, Glory! For instance, I’m the most brilliant mathematical mind of my generation, and I’m a janitor at Harvard. And my best friend is Ben Affleck.
Are you maybe spending too much time with Robin Williams, darlin’?
Holy cats, you pretty much posted everything I was going to say while I was reading Glory’s post! High-five, great minds think alike WIN!
I do not read sensitivity in Glory’s comment. I read a concern for kids. you can be judgemental/making a joke about someone’s intelligence and say it to people’s face. when you swear when kids are around you are just rude, and hurting kids who may or may not know what that word means and may use it inappropriately. As to saying things to peoples faces, i think it makes sense. You can still joke about intelligence and other jokes but to be downright hurtful to people you dont even know, or tell people to die because you don’t agree with them is juvenile, moronic and in some cases illegal. I think, Glory thinks that a lot people need some common sense. Correct me if I’m wrong.
if we got rid of all the stupid people, you wouldn’t have time to worry about who will bring you your coffee and clean your office, you’d probably be too busy bringing me my coffee and cleaning my office. j/k, i drink tea actually.
stupid is relative.
also, welcome to the internet, where people say all kinds of shit they’d never say to a person’s face. if you’re sensitive, don’t bother. on the other hand, if your looking for porn, we have plenty of that.
finally, FAIL.
oh yes, peter noone sees that sign. he just doesn’t care. because he’s peter noone.
Yeah, that’s a lot of electricity spent and a lot of mechanical equipment to keep up with for, what, 15 or so stairs?!
The thing I hate the most is when people walk up escalators instead of taking the stairs. They tend to push by you like YOU are the moron just standing there on a escalators like that’s not what they’re meant for.
if you stand on the left, you are the moron
I am talking about if we were going up or down the same escalator, and you are so impatient to wait until the end and decide to walk it. WHY IN THE HELL DIDN’T YOU TAKE THE EFFIN STAIRS IN THE BEGINNING.
People act as if you stand there it’s dumbest thing ever. The reason for escalators is for we wouldn’t have to use our legs in the effin first place.
If you want to walk up to get to the second, third or fouth level than us the effin stairs.
Oh I am not talking about you (Malfeasant) per say.
not every place has stairs. the rule is stand right walk left.
if you cant manage to lift your legs up and down, move them to the right.
That makes no sense “not every place has stairs”, oh but they have escalators. When something is built stairs are automatically built along with it for workers can go up and down then soon patricians would use them, also stairs are built
for safety reasons too.
Umm if you notice how wide escalators are standing to the right won’t do
you any good because they are not wide like normal stairs and God for
bid if got any bags in your arms.
so now when I go on the escalator I must stand squished to right for ppl
who don’t want to take the regular stairs can go by.
Yea I guess that is what they are built for.
WHHHAAATT??? (When something is built stairs are automatically built along with it for workers can go up and down then soon patricians would use them, also stairs are built
for safety reasons too.) ARE YOU FREAKIN’ CAPPED OR WHAT?
workers use scaffolds and i have NO IDEA what a patrician is, but i’m SURE they can use the elevator!! oh! almost forgot!! STAIRS ARE FOR SAFETY???? shut the F*@& up!!
you made my head hurt!!
look…you made me cuss kind of….you SUCK cee cee
DURR….pass me a cookie!!
WOO I like cookies can I have one? PLEASEEEEEEEE!
oh huss you big baby.
YES I finally made someone here mad. HAHAHAHAHA
WOW you get really mad easily…….even though NO ONE WAS EVEN TALKING TO YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE.
So tell me…. what building has no stairs or a place with several levels?
I doubt that there is a place.
That patrician word was the wrong word that i used, but it means someone of noble birth or a aristocrat. I trying to use the word that means customer besides using the word customer.
Scaffolds are mostly used for the outer part of a building , but the also us stairs too (for the inner part of a building).
Well if you get into a conversation where you don’t belong then you head will hurt.
Would it be too patronizing to give cee cee some hints about that word she’s looking for?
Patronize me because I have no clue. It’s at the tip of my brain but doesn’t want to come out.
OHHHH wait a minute is it patronizing…….patronize…….pa-tro-n……..
Is it PATRON…….yes it is. Thank God I got that out of my head.
Thanks
cee-cee…see, i am an INSPECTOR…INSIDE buildings….and when they are being CONSTRUCTED there are SCAFFOLDS….stairs come later…and stairs are NOT for safety but more for convienience (sic) and out of habbit. i have been inside buildings with only elevators –stairs are in hallways that set off alarms IN CASE of emergency when opened– AND! finally….just use the words you KNOW!! or google them to be sure….i hold NDE L/II UT/MT/PT/VT just so you know.
You’re an inspector inside buildings…..do they ever let you out.
Also I hope you wrote up those buildings with elevators, but with no
stairs because that is clearly a violation, and hallways are not part
of a building?
I do use words I know, but sometime they get lost. Oh yea figured
out the word read my comment above yours.
You may hold NDE L/II UT/MT/PT/VT, but I have no clue what you’re
typing.
And one last important thing I want to say………WHEN AM I GOING
TO GET THAT COOKIE?
cookie => de-escalation
COOKIE!!
Hey this is a cookie.
Only in Europe. Here in the US we are pain in the asses and like to stand and take up the whole thing. People who want to walk by…. well, they can’t.
I know what you are talking about. Go to DC and try standing on the left, see how long it is before someone yells at you or even shoves you. Why walk up stairs when you can walk up an escalator at twice the speed? If you want to be lazy and stand, that’s fine, the two can co-exist- just stand on the right.
Standing on the right side is a rule that impatient ppl made up and is followed by other ppl (patient ppl) so not to cause friction. But what is the point in putting in escalators if ppl are still going to walk up them just use the regular stairs.
Stand on the escalator is not being lazy that is what you are suppose to do on them. Pushing ppl aside just because you want to go up the escalator faster
is not what you are suppose to do on a escalator.
But I guess I am one of those ppl that use things the way the are meant to
be used. sigh
meant to say “Standing” and “they are meant to be used”.
He already told you the point in walking or running up escalators. If someone is in a hurry, walking up the escalator is faster than the stairs because the escalator carries you up while you also take yourself up. Stairs don’t move at all.
Again what is the point of running or walking up the escalator when
you are going to get there faster than if you were walking up stairs?
If you stand on an escalator and wait to reach the top or the bottom you
will get the faster than if you walked the stairs.
My point is ppl that push someone aside to go by on the escalator and
act as if you are in the wrong for standing there instead of
walking up like they are.
sighs… do you drive 55 in the left lane too? do you justify your position by noting that you are driving the speed limit so nobody should need to pass you?
Sighing?….am I breaking you already?
So if you were going the speed limit and an impatient person comes along and decides to pass you, but ends up hitting you while passing because they were impatient to wait and go the speed limit, is that ok?
The speed limit is there for a reason to give ppl guidance and not have everyone moving all over each other.
Yea ppl stand to the right to let other pass (I do that also), but that doesn’t mean they have the right. It’s do to the fact patient ppl allow impatient ppl to go for there won’t be any friction or problem.
My point again….Why don’t ppl who are so impatient just rush up the regular stairs instead of pushing aside ppl on the escalator if they are so annoyed by ppl standing on escalators?
because it’s faster to rush up an escalator, that point has been made repeatedly- not everybody does it because they’re in a hurry, i tend to walk up an escalator just because i’m a bit of a fatass and it’s good for me. and because as ya-ya said, some buildings don’t have stairs in the same place as escalators
Actually Ya-ya said that some building don’t have stair, but
elevators instead……does that seem right? People in those buildings
are f*ucked up in a emergency when the elevators don’t work.
Also I get that it is faster to walk or run up or down an escalator, but
point is and has always been. Why do the impatient ppl look
at the patient ppl stupidly as if they are in the wrong, meaning
standing on the escalator is the wrong thing to do?
And I am sorry to hear that you are an fat ass, maybe if you
start walking up and down the regular stairs you will lose the
weight.
I meant to put a
at the end of my last comment.
i dunt get it…. wat?
*resists the urge*
samatha practice win
WAIT A MINUTE… look at the picture. Those guys are walking UP the escalator! Exercise win!
vipassana practice win
I’ll admit, I had to look those ones up. To quote Big Punisher, I’m not a Buddhist, I just read a lot.
I’ll admit I had to look Big Punisher up. I’m not an overweight rapper, I’m just an aspiring Buddha.
I’ll admit I had to look rappers up, I’m–screw it.
lol… overweight Buddist rappers.
What if they need the escalators to get there the first time?
I mean, there is some cases of extreme obesity, isn’t there?
Hmmm – maybe there is one case of extreme grammar stupidity pretty close to these words I now type.
If you’re so fat you can’t climb fifteen steps, exercising isn’t where you want to start.
If you have enough time to count the steps on that photo, then you need to get a life.
how long does it take to count 15 steps?
I was referring to the fact that they’re small and easy to get lost in. It would give me a headache.
Maybe you should stop being an idiot. It took me like ten seconds to count them.
Children please! I can’t take you guys anywhere. Group hug time?
QUICK there are teenagers standing on the left side of the escalator.
get the pepper spray!
if only. if only.
Wow. All this came out of a small joke? -.-
however long it took to count all his fingers, take off his shoes & socks, remember where he left off counting, and continue to 15 on however many toes he has…
This isn’t FAIL at all! The purpose of 24 hour fitness is to collect money from fat people who never actually show up. Makes perfect sense to have escalators.
its fake
escalators only operate undercover-indoors
I’m sorry to inform you that you’re wrong on that.
Now that I think about it, I’ve never seen an outdoor escalator.
What happens to the equipment when it rains?
I don’t know either, but there’s an escalator in Roma St in Brisbane near the transit centre that’s completely open to the elements, so they do exist.
Agreed. There’s one in Huntington Beach, California at PCH and Main where the movie theater use to be.
Poor escalator design for the whether…WIN!
American lard ass…WIN!
Waste of electricity to run escalator…WIN!
SO-CAL sucks yet again…WIN!
Guess again’s IP addy: 174.20.23.102
WIN!
FAIL BLOG REPOST FAIL!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I dont’ quite get it. Are we failing the escalators (not sure how you spell it, I’m tired and don’t care) at the fitness place? Or the people taking them? I’m sure the escalators are there (more then likely) for handicapped individuals. I laughed more at the two people taking them who don’t look handicapped.
The fail is having escalators in front of a fitness center in the first place. The individuals taking them are pretty dumb, too. Handicapped individuals usually don’t use stairs or escalators at all even when not confined to a wheel chair. Ramps are best.
Chaud les ricains quand même Oo
Oh -I’ve seen this online before:P
