What's YOUR Excuse?

[Joe Mama]

I've often held the view that EXCUSES (similar to opinions) are like assholes.
Everybody has one, and they all stink. (Except for mine)

This thought cropped up again today as I went to my local water cooler here at work, only to find it (once again) bone dry. Mofos have no problem squeezing out the last drops of water, but can't be bothered to replace the jug for whatever reason.
Its too heavy... Im too weak... Someone else will do it... <Insert Excuse Here>

The same principles apply to returning your shopping cart (or especially the motorized ones) back to the store or at a minimum the cart return area.

Shit like this infuriates me as its the epitome of self serving behavior in a circumstance of sociological based scenarios.
"If it's not affecting me, my efforts will reflect that. You who?"

And remember, it's a choice.
Just like Neil Peart once wrote "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice"

So I ask you - what is YOUR excuse.

 

[Cole train]

Im too lazy or i dont give a fuck

Usually between those 2

 

[Bobby00]

Should have killed that wandering stranger but i was too weak to do it, but your right i will hunt him down now i got no excuse really.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I'm retired now and don't have to do anything I don't want

 

[Jack Reacheround]

Wasn’t it Geddy Lee who wrote that song?

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Procrastination.
Anxiety.

 

[Prologue]

Any one of these.

I believe Lee was the vocalist but had no interest in writing lyrics - Neil usually took the helm in that realm.

They were team players and it was a mutual agreement.
Unlike the fucking water cooler here at work.

(Edit - Per Wikipedia)

"Freewill" is the second track on the 1980 album Permanent Waves by Canadian progressive rock band Rush. The song's music was composed by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, and its lyrics written by Neil Peart.

 

[Joe Mama]

Procrastination.
Anxiety.

And for being a non self starter - I get this.

Even though its more detrimental in the long run to yourself...

Its when someone ELSES actions (or lack thereof) affect me, and then *I* have to step up to the plate - I get pissed.
And struggle to know your why.

I'm too busy. It's never true and always true at the same time.

Thank you Mr Donne.

I curl the water jug when carrying it to the water cooler to assert dominance.

Seriously even the janitors are too lazy to do it at my work and I have to fill it all the time. People will bring in their own water just to avoid replacing it themselves.

I hate this expression. Not your version, but the original about opinions. It was mildly funny the first time I heard it but now it just makes me cringe.

In their defense, those water jugs are too heavy for many people. Even if someone looks strong you never know, they might have a back injury or something.

I did something to my bicep so I'm trying to baby it till it heals. I'd certainly be one of those guys bringing his own water just to avoid lifting the jug right now.

I didn't think you'd find out

Misanthropy, I hate people

I work with a group of 20-30 year old men who are all able bodied but you make a good point.
