Neither of you are an asshole... But you are a FAIRY for sitting around worrying about it enough to make a getbig topic about it.

I agree with you on this one. That's what this board is for, to BS with other people. Your post at least was about the gym. Not sure why this thread is any different than any other thread.

I do not accept your apology, FAIRY. And if you were a real man, you would have slugged the guy in the chops…instead you get nose to nose and then whine about it on getbig looking for advice? If you want real advice, get therapy.

There are many acceptable reasons to fight, the legpress is not one of them. "Yo bro, what you in for?" "Some guy was hogging the legpress, had to fuck him up". Not a good enough reason man.

He was probably a little taken aback that the gym was empty and someone went up and started using one of his circuit stops. He's a douchebag though. The gym I go to is one of the worst I've ever seen when it comes to people reracking their plates, so you almost never know when those machines are being used or just sitting idle. He's a douchebag for getting pissed, though. I can't believe some of these guys think you should be checking the machine every two minutes to make sure no one's using it before you move in. It's especially bad when the gym is crowded and they still want to do their circuits. Either do that shit when the gym is practically empty, or stand by the machine if you want to reserve it for a little while.

Or maybe just let people work in during the 10 minutes you are no on the machine...

Fuck him, if he's not in the vicinity of the machine then it's not his. Same as seats in a bar, simple 2 second rule: you leave your place for 2 seconds, it's fair game.

Seriously though, if I'm using a machine, I sit next to it while I rest. If he's gonna piss off for a stroll down to the corner, pick up a latte cos he needs the caffeine boost to get through his workout, then pose in the changing room mirror for five minutes to psyche himself up for the next set, then it's his own dumbass fault if his machine gets taken.

Didn't read the whole thread but good call on your half. Stand up to someone if they want to start shit.

Yet another situation where a getbig membership card would have come in handy.

HTexan · « **Reply #69 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:01:46 PM »

guy was a dick. you should have move all "his" plates to the other machine.

I had a similar experience the other day, i walk to the cable machine, no one is around. It my first exercise, so i selected my playlist, wrote in my workout plan into my log, I change the attachment bar, change the weight, manage to do 2 sets. Then some guy walk over from the leg machine area and said," i was using that machine." I like, " i did see you near" He said," did you see my cellphone?" he cellphone was hiding under the machine

. Im like, " im sorry do you what to use it, i can use the one next over" he said no, he would come back later.

WTF some people just want to start shit.

I'm incredulous. "You don't have to act like an asshole about it.", I tell him.

"What did you call me?" The guy takes a step towards me with a 45 in his hand (he's still loading up the other machine. Ironically, I'm done with the leg press and unloading the machine down to the weight he was using).

I repeat and take a step towards him as well, We're nose to nose now.

"You don't have to act like an ASSHOLE...If you didn't want me to work in with you then you should have said so after my first set. I apologize if I bothered your workout, but you were gone for an awfully long time..."

I'm not sure if the word "apologize" disarmed him or not, but he turns away from me, "ok, next time I'll but a nametag on it" (not sure what a name tag on a leg press would say. Maybe, "hello my name is: leg press #1", but I digress)

"Ok, buddy", I sarcastically reply and proceed to unload every fucking 45 on the leg press, making sure he will have to load up that other one fully to do his epic circuit set.

You made a post about this occurence because it bothered you so much. Do you know why it bothered you so much? Because the above is not exactly how it happened is it? Thats how you wish it happened, but reality is the guy punked your ass, got in your face and you pussed out like a little bitch. And for your own self sanity, you're trying to explain it all out so you dont feel like such a fucking coward. If you had truly stood up for yourself in the above situation, you would not have to come onto a message board to talk about it. Tough MF'ers don't need to tell people stories like the above, they handle fucking business. You on the other hand know the truth and it isn't what happened above.

I have seen you be a bigtime dick online to many people. You are getting your comeuppance, just what you deserve, karma has a way of doing that.

That guy served you a nice peice of {the truth hurts don't it} pie. Make sure you beeline it around him next time in the gym so you dont get embarrased again.

are you asserting that there is ample evidence to suggest that "theauxilliarytank" loves the penile tissue and doesn't like to fight, SlowK?

SLOWKPLUS LMAO... So true...

I like the part when tleilax claims the guy said "what did u say to me?!" And he said his response was that he repeated "you are an asshole" ahahhaha RIIIIGHT... he probably hid away and said "Sorry sir"

TechnoViking · « **Reply #73 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:40:07 PM »

Its your quietness that was the factor in the problem here...As soon as he came over, you should have said something like "sorry bro, I thought someone just left the weights on the machine and left"...That could have soften the whole situation...You kept quiet and he was fuming inside seeing as there was an empty leg press right beside you both...Maybe he to had to go searching for 45's himself...

The guy for sure was a prick though and you weren't wrong in taking the machine...Its just when you realized it was his, you basically didn't say anything...So it escalated...You you don't take charge of uncertainties in the world, they will take care of you...As you found out $:-\$

Interesting opinion... You can call me whatever you want but I recalled the story verbatim without any embellishmen...

Why do you think I'm so bothered by this encounter? Maybe I'd just rather read my drivel than someone else's on this board for once...
