I’ve seen a trend developing recently. A very appalling trend. I laughed it of at first. It kept on happening though. I just want to yell at them to man up. For the past week I have met several weak men. Though they hardly deserve to be called men. Not only in their weakness but laziness. They display no traits of manhood. They are sad disgraces to our cavemen ancestors. They need to learn to man up now while times are good.
Man Up
I was at work one night when a co-worker, Gary, told me about what just happened to him. He said a customer came and asked him for help loading up a fridge. Gary was thinking maybe it was a special deep freezer in stock. Normally we only carry small college fridges. He has him show him over to it. The customer ask if he needs a cart or to get help for it. Gary is bumfuzzled when the customer, a towering man in an under armour sports shirt, needs help with this tiny fridge. It could not have been over 50 pounds. He easily picked it up and placed in their shopping cart. While the customers wife smirked. Ladies if your man can not lift a college fridge You Have a girlfriend. I thought obviously he exaggerated the story. Good one Gary. Yeah OK. Since Hearing that story It happened to me. Twice. And Gary One more time. In a week. A WEEK. Man Up!
When I was asked to help with a fridge I thought It MUST be a big chest freezer. The customer stated I needed a cart. I was like I don’t think we have any too big for the shopping carts. He just looked at me like I was crazy. The customer was an average built man in his early 40’s. I had him point to it and was disappointed. Though it was not one of the small ones it was not big. As in maybe you could hold 2 two liters coke bottles vertically. I picked it up and gently put in his cart. Then helped him carry it out. Hiding my desire to yell at him to man up.
Try It!
None of these “Men” tried to pick it. They immediately went for help. They believed they could not do it. Obviously neither lift weights. They have no strength. Although these fridges were so light they probably could have lifted them up. They did not even bother to try. I think it’s two-fold why. They do not take pride in their strength. I have never bought anything I could not pick up in a store. I have snatched up big futon boxes and put in carts. I have carried out heavy pool tables. I always try to pick it up. If I have something awkward shaped or just that heavy I ask for help. Not someone else to do it. I don’t feel entitled to make someone else do it for me. I want it and if needed I will ask for help. That means that I’m still lifting my half. None of these people even though to do that. Or offered. I doubt that the men of the 50’s would act like that. I know any real man would not. SO I yell it here. Man Up. Since I can’t at work. Please Man up. Your children need you to man up. Your wife wants you to man up. This is James from Survivalpunk saying MAN UP!
