attitude

[L3]

my gym only has pec fly machine, and due to my stupidity last year i am no longer able to use DB's for flys, so i have to stick with it

so im using the machine, and this big guy comes up and wants to work in. hes got 3-4" and mabye 30lbs of chubb on me. ive been in the gym for a good 30mins, so not thinking strait cause of exhaustion, so im say "go ahead and work in, but you'll have to readjust the arms when you're done"

i go leave to get a drink come back, guy is done his set..

Guy: so what did you say i have to do? (smirk on the face)
L3: i said adjust the arms of the machine back to what they were... i would APPRECIATE it
Guy: thats BETTER (smirk)

at that point i think i burst a blood vessel...
**** i know its all in my head but im starting to have a hard time being able to control myself
i am not a violent guy or a MMA STAR by any means but **** cause your taller and fatter than me doesnt mean that you can give me ****ing attitude

i am looking forward to the day when a big fat ****er wants to throw down out of public view so i dont have to worry about my legal reprecussions and my job


grrrrr

[GYMBRAT]

I had a conversation about things that bug me in the gym that lasted about a half an hour between my wife and sister in law. Surprising how many things go on in our gym that piss us off! And its not just me, they both had just as many stories as I did - We've been there for about 1.5 months now and we went on and on listing one "funny/rude" thing after another about the stuff people do.

We came to the conclusion that before letting someone sign up to a gym, they should go through an hour long course to be instructed of gym etiquette. Most of the stuff is common sense, but it seems nowadays common sense isn't so common.

[LIVEHARD]

Let the tren war begin

I deal with that shit all the time work around it bro don't let if F'k your day

only you can control your moods and how you feel

[faller]

I read this stuff a lot about the gyms out there and for the life of me i have never encountered anything like it at our gym. You get the odd kid in there that starts something because he doesn't know better, but everyone thats there quickly gives him an education and its all good after.

I honestly wouldn't know how to react if i ran into the same thing you did L3.. I probably would have told him to **** himself and get the **** out of my way. At least thats what i would have done a few years ago, maybe still would, don't know.....

[L3]

this is the second time i've been in an "agressive" situation @ the gym, two different gyms too!.. the first time, i definately wasnt the instigator and wasnt even on gear... this time, i may have been a bit on the rude side but i could have well told him to go F himself and wait for me to finish.

i would love to throw down and see how much damage this new body of mine can do, its been about 4 years since i was last in a fistfight....

i wish i lived back in the days where a broken nose and a bloody lip were just that... not an assault charge and a ticket out of a job

maybe im just an immature punk who can barely control his rage....

[natenator]

shit that was you? sorry bud... lol

[hulkster]

as a gym owner the best thing you could possibly have done would to have gone up to the gym owner (not the employee currently working) and complain like your thongs in a knot (just dont look like a little bitch) man trust me if the owner of the gym values your buisness at all then he would take action against the asshole you just described haha cause who knows maybe other people have had complaints against that guy

[O-Train]

Jeez, something in my head probably would have went "snap" lol. I'm kinda the same way in the gym. It's a respect thing. I have all the patience and understanding in the world for people who show respect to others. When it doesn't happen, my tolerance for bullshit is zero. Obviously the next time he asks to work-in, tell him to go f-himself or just flat out ignore the guy.

[warlock]

If the bitch said that to I'd just seat there do 10 more sets and would like to see wtf he would do.

He would bitch for sure and I'd tell him that the day he learns to behave I'd show some respect towards him and finish with a : "now you can apologize"

[the-vanilla-gorilla]

i woulda sewed his asshole shut and kept feeding him and feeding him!!lol


i prolly woulda just started to laugh at him like full on laugh and i geuss it would be his move after that!




i dont sweat the small shit to much got to lose so i just make them feel like or let them know through my interest in the way they show respect that "i really dont give a shit!" YOUR rude well now you can wait till im done SIMPLE!

Everyone is pretty good at my gym, but shit like that makes me so pissed that I swear I can push an extra 5 to 10 pounds when i'm pissed off or do about two more reps. haha

Proper manners are getting harder to find these days.
