Hold the presses, put down those lukewarm lattes and gather ‘round. There's another Buff Boy scandal brewing -- pun definitely intended.
Where were you when Gabe committed the ultimate Buff sin?
It was the haircut seen -- and mocked -- around the world.
Buff Boy Collin thinks his dimples and botox'ed face can get him out of any sort of trouble he might find himself in. Whether it's a speeding ticket or "accidentally" not paying for a chocolate bar at the store and having an employee stop him as he heads for the door (maybe that's for another gossip column), Collin feels he's untouchable. (And knowing his dating life, he mostly touches himself. Am I already getting sidetracked before I even start this story? Focus.)
It's about time we get a deliciously awkward travel story from our backpacker and travel enthusiast, Tanner. (Speaking of delicious: you might not want to be eating while you read this one.)
He's definitely never babysitting again after this
In the world of babysitting, there are heroes and there are, well, Tanners.
Collin is known as a diva for his nighttime routine. (Remember, we're in a unique situation at Buff Loft that we live with our co-workers so we know more about each other than the average colleagues.)
Free samples have their limit: buy something or get out!
Here at Buff Loft, we all have our quirks. Somehow Collin loses shoes (or a shoe -- how do they separate?). Gabe seems to always have more used coffee cups on his desk than anyone else. As for outside the office, Drew has made a name for himself for all the wrong reasons.
Ah, Collin. Where do we even begin? Let's just say that if life in Buff Loft were a sitcom, he'd be the lovable, well-intentioned goofball that keeps the audience in stitches.
He ain't got game: Tanner's disastrous date night
Ah, Tanner. He's always been a bit… enthusiastic. He approaches life with the gusto of a golden retriever chasing a tennis ball, which is usually endearing, sometimes chaotic, and occasionally, as we recently learned, toe-curlingly awkward.
Standup to be shot down
Drew's Stand-Up Special: A First Date Disasterpiece
Our group has been talking about dating disasters and the stories coming out are amazing. Just incredible! From awkwardness at a restaurant to making an ass of yourself on a first date.
His flirt was definitely on the fritz
Oh, Collin. Where do we even begin? The belief that dimples can move people and change the world. The constant need to be within 10 feet of a mirror for obsessive hair checks. The thought that both of those two points can lead to getting anything he wants. Wrong, oh, how wrong.
Most people have stories about their first date or a date gone horribly wrong -- maybe they're even the same date.
That bitch ruined his first date
Here at Buff Loft (official home of Club Buff), we love a good romance. We love hearing the story about how our bosses met, how their romance blossomed and how they've become an old married couple in the most charming ways.
His performance killed! Well, smashed...
Always fancying himself a songster, Drew spent hours putting on performances in his childhood bedroom. Attendance records were met each time he got new stuffed animals to arrange as an audience. In fact, the crowd was so quiet, Drew often got noise complaints… about his singing.
Under the table, he still came
We’ve all been in situations where we don’t want to run into someone – a specific someone – THAT someone. Maybe it’s an ex or a family friend and you know it’ll be awkward when you cross paths. So, you do what you can to avoid it.
Up against the wall and spread 'em
We’ve all been tempted to steal at some point in our life. Whether we did it or not is another story. For our little Tanner, he has a habit of stealing without realizing it. (Allegedly. Do we have to say allegedly so he doesn’t get charged with something?)
He built it, they came... and almost crapped their pants
The joys of homeownership! Ben, bless his heart, as his fellow southern folk would say. He was practically bursting with pride.
Collin is definitely no Gabe when it comes to pitiful dance moves but he fancies himself a showman when it comes to weddings. His reputation for, uh, unique dance moves precedes him. We've all witnessed the… enthusiasm… he brings to Buff Loft.
Gabe, the pretty boy, is known for pampering himself. Whether that's carrying on a friendship with his botox injector just to get discounts or grabbing a last-minute massage because someone cancelled at the last minute and the spa offered a discount for a short-notice session, Gabe will do anything to spoil himself (on the cheap).
This explains why the neighbors won't have him over
Love thy neighbor, right? Not always.
To be a fly on the wall for this
Ben is the strong silent type. You’re more likely to catch him reading a book in the bath than you are to see him raging on the dancefloor of a sweaty nightclub. Either lying in silence or to the strings of classical music, Ben stays calm… unless something breaks his focus.
It’s natural to be nervous on your first date. It’s an exciting time for a teenager. After all, it could be a lifelong relationship. But, let’s be honest, it’s not. Nevertheless, hours of preparation goes into making it a memorable time for not only you but the date you’re trying to impress.
