Remember Bob, the asshole trainer?
He is also overly patronizing, a devout religious zealot, and annoying to boot.
When I first became a trainer, Bob gave me a "pep talk". It went something like this:
"If you are going to be training young men, we're going to need to get you a smock. You need to cover up. See, boys like two things. Cars and girls. And they like to play with both of them. I don't want to see you get hurt or harrassed."
It took everything I had not to laugh and smack him in the face. Not even my own father or any of my older male relatives thinks I'm THAT naive and stupid. I can handle myself against horny little boys, ok?
Then one of my coworkers was interested in a guy from another department. He'd stop by to say hello and they'd talk and flirt in the hallway during break. Bob pulled her aside and said "I hope you realize that when you act like that around a boy, they get ideas in their heads. Boys are going to think you like them when you act that way. I tell you, one time I picked my daugher up from school, and this boy was following her trying to touch her, and I couldn't figure out WHY he wouldn't leave her alone. I asked her if she'd done anything to encourage the behavior and she said "Yes". I had to have a talk with her before things went any futher."
My coworker also had to hold back the laughter and her fist. She WANTED this boy to talk to her and look at her that way. She LIKED him.
Bob is such a dumbass.
Then he just had to do this. A lot of people are unfamiliar with the band HIM, and their band logo, the Heartagram. Looks sort of like a pentagram, but it's a heart and a triangle. It really doesn't mean ANYTHING, other than "Oh, it's HIM."
I was wearing one of my HIM shirts with the Heartagram on it. Bob pulled me aside and said "You aren't a witch are you?" and I thought he was joking and said "Well I can be if you piss me off." and he got all serious and said "If you wear things like that, people are going to think you are one of those Wiccans. Now, if you want to, you can come to my church on Sunday and I can share the blood of Christ with you."
Another moment I wanted to laugh and slap him. My mother is a minister. HIM has NOTHING to do with religion. I am NOT a Wiccan. I did not appreciate that little "talking to".
What will Bob do next? Tune in and find out! He's like Mr. Rogers and Jack VanImpe combined!

. Too many people equate paegans with bad things from horror movies. I'm not that familiar with the religion, but my friend has always stressed that it involves a respect and love for all life. Not that Bob would've listened to any of that
