    FSLPT: A staggering variety of everyday objects can be used as a weapon if you are sufficiently motivated and/or pissed off.

    I am certain, for instance, that I could do someone quite a mischief if I whacked them with my ThinkPad.

      Hell, I could probably break someone’s skull with my brick phone while using strobe mode on the flashlight to disorientate the other party.

      Bluetooth speakers have some weight, and it has a string to swing it for more force. It’d probably crack a skull with a hard enough swing.

    About 10 years ago, I had my Fortune 500 company’s CEO enter the office gym one day and jump right on the treadmill next to mine (I did not work in the CEO’s home office; he was out and about doing a regional office tour that week). And I had to stay because I was in the middle of a timed program, and had a visible countdown going on my treadmill, and it would have been more memorable for him and weird if I just noped out early.

    Most awkward ten minutes of small talk I’ve ever had to make in my entire life.

      That’s why I always wear headphones in the gym. I devinetively don’t want to talk with some “strangers” in the gym.
