Rude members

What are some of your rudest member stories? I got a couple. One was when a member walked up to me and opened with “hey do you speak english?”. Another one was this couple came up to me looking for an item that I know for a fact we didn’t have. She immediately said “I KNOW YOU HAVE IT SO DONT TELL ME YOU DONT”. So after telling her that Im positive we dont have it, I call on the radio with her and her husband glaring at me the whole time…and what do ya know..we dont have it. No “thank you”, or “thanks for checking”, they just turn around without saying anything and storm off. One more was when I worked in the food court. A member ordered a chicken bake and I told him it would be a few minutes because I had to put it in the oven. He proceeded to time me on his watch announcing every few seconds how long its taking “GOING ON 2 MINUTES HERE” saying my name as if he knows me. Then when it comes out he gives me this disappointed look and just walks off. I got probably a hundred more, but these were a few of the frustrating ones.

Bag work (messy garage I know)

Slowly getting back into shape after the first yr of my kid being born. Trained and sparred off and on for years but was never consistent. Getting back to it though, and sparred for the first time in like 12 years a couple months ago. Not alotta time these days though

Old family photos (some questions)

These are old family photos. Picture 1 is of the parents of my great grandparents on my dads side. Picture 4 is my dad’s, father’s, mother and father before he was born. Picture 5 is my great grandparents from my dad’s mother’s side. Picture 6 is also my great grandparents from my dad’s mother’s side. Picture 7 is my great grandfather from my dad’s mother’s side.

Apparently the man seated with the fan in the first and second picture (my great, great grandfather) was a skilled caligrapher. He would’ve been born around the 1860’s-1870’s. Was this a common profession? Also, what can you possibly tell me about all of their (the great, great grandparents) status/professions based on the clothing, etc? Im looking as deep as I can into my family history.

Finally went to the motherland

Being Japanese American (4th generation) this was honestly such a special experience for me. My great grandparents came from the Hiroshima area in the early 1900’s. My grandparents faced racism and had many family members interned in the camps during ww2, and my grandfather fought on the US side in the 442nd infantry. They didn’t teach their kids Japanese in an attempt to assimilate. I grew up with alot of the culture (food, temple, etc) but never really had a huge grasp on it. I finally got to visit Japan with my wife and two daughters and have been back for a couple days. Honestly fell in love and miss it already. I encourage any Asian Americans who havent, to visit the place of their ancestors. It was amazing.

Bag work

Used to train and spar off and on for yrs but now I’m slow, out of shape, and have the beginnings of a dad bod. Sparred for the first time in like 12 yrs the other day and did decent on the inside, got some good shots in, but definitely got my head cracked a few times. Struggling with stamina after the birth of my daughter last yr, but slowly getting back to it. Definitely developed some bad habits though from inactivity. I know the garage is a complete mess by the way 😅
