Joined a new gym last night. Hilarious

People are fucking scumbags. There are water fountains in the building, just not in the gym. Bros gotta walk out of the fitness center & down the hall.
I'll be in there this afternoon. I'm looking forward to bogarting all the 45lb plates to deadlift.
The utilization of 'utilize' stood out to me as much as the content. There is a trend in business communication among those for whom replacing 'use' with 'utilize' isn't stilted, awkward or unclear enough. They take things to the next level by replacing the awful 'utilize' with the transcendentally ridiculous 'leverage.' Not ironically. As in:
"I leveraged Excel to facilitate this chart."
All I could think of while reading your post was, " should have used 'leverage a cup'."
OK, I'm done.
