Or we can just agree you pulled a douchebag move and get back to working out and not have to act like a couple children fighting on the playground." At which point he said "yeah whatever" and walked away.

lots of stories, well, actually two that were noteworthy

was squatting 3 plates something in the squat rack, got up and went to take a drink so I left my gym bag and belt on the bar to indicate that it was being taken. I come back and do my set and kind of noticed something weird but didn't really pay too much mind to it so I was like w/e. So I squat down and kind of lose my balance in the hole and fell backwards. Got up and noticed that 2 10s were missing on one side and the guy beside me on the smith machine apologized for taking the 10s off the bar but I wasn't having it. I was like "WTF dude do you not see that the rack is occupied, and you could at least tell me beforehand that you took the 10s instead of waiting after I bail". He felt kind of terrible afterwards but I didn't give a fuk at the moment.


another time was when I was squatting again and this chinese twink and a bunch of friends were talking near my area. Apparently they were touchbutt in the gym and one of the twinks bumped into me kind of hard so in the process of trying to regain my balance I whacked him in the face with the metal plates on one side. I was ready to rage but the guy got hurt and fell and was bleeding so I wanted to make sure he was alright.

Doing tricep cable pulldowns, I see a 60 year old man staring at me as if he wants something. Fukk it, I continue to do my pulldowns, but he decides to come up to me while I am doing a set and starts instructing me how to do it properly, even though I did it properly and why the hell would I take advice from a guy that has 0 gains. I tell him I appreciate the advice, but he is no PT to tell me how to do my lifts. Put my headphones on, start doing skullcrushers. All of a sudden, he comes back and starts talking. I can't hear chit and I am doing a fukking set and this guy thinks its a good idea to start talking to me. Drop the dumbbells passive-aggressive style, take out my heaphones and he says: ''Listen, you need to go a bit faster if you want to see results''. Tell him that I appreciate the advice, but I really do not need or want to hear other people's opinions. You think that it ends there? **** NO. I put my headphones on again and start doing preacher curls. This time I am listening to Hatebreed, so you know I am pumped up. This ****ING IDIOT comes up to me again, starts talking and I instantly drop my dumbbels and ask him what does he want and he tells me: ''Hey, I don't want to bother you anymore, but I don't understand why don't you do the exercises properly? You become stronger, but you are not building actual muscle.'' Decided to keep it real and told him to stop talking to me before I take him straight to suplex city. He asks me why am I so mad, I tell him to fukk off and continue to do my set. He was standing there for a few seconds, but I ignored him. Fukk the old crabs at the gym.

Normally I offer people to work in but he had a tone.

I said yes. He said well I've used two machines while you are sitting there with your phone. I started to explain the rest interval as he was obviously circuit training.

But he made a face and I just looked at him and said get out of my face.

Still steaming when I was done I walked over to him and said I'm done but I will take as long as I phuckin want on anything I use. Do you phuckin understand?

Then this tiny ******* trainer that works there with his gay as phuck millennial beard that I can't stand comes over to me and tells me to go back to the free weight area.

People weren't putting the plates away in the correct place, so I threw all the weights off and organized them.

One day at my old gym it was almost empty just me, my wife and like 3 other people. Im on one of the free weight back row and id super set with a bent over fly machine right next to it. This old dude watches me for a couple super sets then while im doinf the flyes he walks up and trys to do the back row machine. Obviously he cant do as much weight as i do so he starts removing my plates. I stop him and say im still using that. He said well i was going to do it when u werent. I said the entire fukkin gym is empty and you have to use the machine im on? He said well if your going to be rude. I said what was fukkin rude was you walking up and removing my weights whrn clearly im still using it. He huffed away all pissed. I cant stand peoplr w no gym etiquette

In 16 years I cant say Iv ever had a confrontation within the gym. I've had to tell many people to not take my machine, bench or whatever, because Im obviously still using it. They werent confrontational though.

I worked in a gym in a questionable neighboorhood and have too many to tell. Ranges from racial stuff, to accusations (of sexual intimidation), people getting agressive, drugs being sold, argues and threats from colleagues, girl problems, punks getting in your face when you ask them to put their stuff back.

Just don't really want to think about it anymore since it was a hard period in life for me (which burnt me out). But in the 2 years I worked there I started doubting myself because it felt like a tug of war each day keeping composure and cool when everyone around you was trying to find a way to undermine your authority.

Was at the gym late about an hour before close finishing things up. It was just me and 1 random guy. I was doing lat pulldowns and the guy came over with a mat and placed it on the floor right under the lat pulldown seat. I'd go to sit down for a set his face was right under me.

I did my set and stood up. I looked down at guy and told him he had 2 seconds to move his mat or I was going to take my foot and crush his skull into the ground.

He moved without question. The guy was a sex offender and just released from prison. He was kicked out of the gym after that.

I've been in the gym over 30 yrs and that's the only thing that's ever happened to me.

There's only 1 time I almost got into a fight at the gym. It was a couple years ago someone at my college gym found out I was born in Mexico, and he confronted me telling me I shouldn't be in the US. He even threatened to call the police if I didn't show him a green card lol. It was pretty funny, I told him I'm legal but that I don't have to show him anything. The dude was absolutely livid, I was able to calm the situation down but I could tell he was ready to start throwing punches.

It did come as a bit of a surprise because until that point this person had been very friendly and would often strike up conversations with me.

Was about 230 at the time, lifting with my ex. Was helping her with a movement in between my sets of pull-ups on one of two or three cable machines in my gym. Some guy, probably 6'9", tatted head to toe and with a face full of metal just comes over and helps himself to the cables while I was helping her. I didn't pay much mind to it but resumed my pull-ups after he finished his set. I then go and chat with the girl while I'm resting (1-2 mins as usual), when I get back I start doing pull-ups for my final set and this ******* comes and starts doing cable flyes right in front of me. He was all of 3-4 inches from my body. I get fukkin livid and finish my set. He finishes his set and I pull my headphones off and go "That's some real fukking nice gym etiquette you have there cutie" as I'm walking away. He goes "What did you say to me?", "You fukking heard me" followed by a mean mug from hell. I was literally ready to square down with this ******* win or lose. He doesn't reply but chirps some chit under his breath. I spent the rest of my workout glaring at him and he wouldn't make much eye contact. Towards the end of my workout he ends up near me again and asks why I'm mean mugging him, to which I respond "because you were being a fukkin douchebag, that's why", he chirps some more chit under his breath and twinkles away like the cuck he is.

awwwwwww


I once got really mad at a guy who took the box I was using to reach the chinup bar when I still had 2 sets left. He claimed he didn't see me using it. I was perhaps a bit tetchy because I was doing PSMF at the time and kind of yelled at him.


Oh, and one time this creeeeepy 70-yo man was following me around the gym and I straight up turned on him and said, "If you want something, ask. Otherwise, please don't follow me around. It's rude and disturbing." He apologized and has left me alone since apart from some AWKWARD eye contant. Ew creepy old dudes.

I like Cool Ranch Doritos. Great snack when you're watching anything on tv. As I was walking in, some dickhead had a bike on his back while pushing 4 carts of Cool Ranch Doritos. I realized at that moment that he bought every single bag. Said he was a professional eater, doing some challenge for boot tube and that his name was Derrick The Electrician. I quickly ran inside and purchased the most ripe grapefruit. Ran outside and tossed in straight at his dome as he was pedaling away on his bicycle. Money shot. Now I have to settle for Fritos.

I’m all for super setting, but IMO the possibility of someone hopping on the machine when You’re doing the other lift is part of the game.
Feminazi did this to me last night. Started doing tris and as I finish my set, she's like, "I'm using that!"

Bert stare her and look at the machine she's on and say, "So you're not using that?"

Her, "I'm SUPER SETTING. I'm using that."

Me, "I'm gonna use it."

Her, "Oh, yeah you can work in."
