Very Serious Problem at Gym!

[Lundgren]

headphone trick usually does it. A gym's a public place it happens. My pet peeve are the folks don't get the rule of distance in urinals or public seating. If there are 10 spaces free don't go to the one on my left.

I bet you are the "stare at the wall, and 'ahh that was a good piss'" type, and the "are you lookin' at me, while I pee ?", and the "first one out, but look at the floor" type 

Man, I hear you about public seating, but next time, think about it like this, does that "hot" chick want 'you' sitting next to her? Women have it even worse than guys, because they are constantly being pick up...If you could hear how women complain about this guy, and that guy, and the "guy with big arms and no game" who tried to get on the treadmill next to her and talk to her....yeah, those headphones do the trick real well

THe situation: Been going to the same big fitness club gym for the last 9 years. Problem: since I have been going here so long there is a wide abundanceof :

1. people who I know from the past several years ago but havent seen in 6months who always fly over to me like bees to honey to shake my hand and offer unsolicited info and grill me up and down.  The thing is I don't give a shit about these people- so why the hell do they wanna talk to me so badly??

Solution: Haven't found one yet as these people are the biggest challange!

2. There are always guys(straight) (of all ages) who try to strike up a conversation with me. Usually asking me about an exercise /lift I am performing. Other times they ask me what my shirt says or if wearing a sports short they ask me if I am a fan of said team.

Solution: I now wear ipod headphones and avoid eye contact wth anyone. I also wear all my t-shirts inside-out to avoid and interrogation.

3. Gays who stare at me. 2 regulars who are very nasty. Solution:Purposfully started going to gym at times I know they won't be there.

This problem has escalated to the point now where I am going to flat out start being very rude to people. When I'm stretching out/warming up is when I am most vunerable to being approached as I am sitting prey for situation #1. 

I know Croatch hates to be approached by people when he is doing a serious set of leg press. So what advice can you guys offer? Solutions?

Natty wonder? Newmom? Disturbia? MrNobody? Kiwiol? QB? JNN?  Parker? Situation #1 has reached a critical mass!

Talk to people in a simialr manner to my posts here at get big. People will  then avoid you .
The eye pod or MP3 with ear bugs in works quite well. I seriously know what you mean and ended up going to a gym across town so I didn't socialize much. I knew too many other middle aged gas bags who were bigger blowhards than me at my old gym.

The typical guy thinks EVERY hot babe wants him ...and every gay guy as well.
I am not gay, but unlike a lot of males, I have a decent sense of reality.
This one charmer named Earl at my old gym was always trying to hit on the hottest girls in the gym.
He wasn't too successful and always seemed to get shot down .
We started cracking on him for his crash and burn one time and he got pissed and said;
"Yeah that is because that cold bitch don't like having sex. "
I started laughing looked back at him and said ; " No Earl, she likes sex, just NOT with YOU"

Ear phones and tunnel vision will fix that. Otherwise just tell them all to fuck off.

[ManBearPig...]

work out with a boner.  then when they try to approach you, point your dick at them and make laser sounds.

[Tapeworm]

just act boring

I've been doing this for years and can attest to its effectiveness as a conversational deterrent.

Fill me in, what do you drink?

Foster's tastes like kangaroo piss, or at least what i would imagine kangaroo piss to taste like.

We're pretty much a country of drunks. We don't discriminate.....well not when it comes to alcohol anyway.

Just tell me what to drink in OZ.

beer.........preferably lots of it. Though we will make fun of your accent.

[El Diablo Blanco]

I guess you never worked out in a prison gym.  Next time someone talks to you or asks you if a machine is open, simply punch them square in the face then kick them on the way down.  No one will ever fuck with you again.

DUDE, what beer??

Fosters sucks, which beer is good?

whats so hard to just say ''hey buddy how you doin ill talk to you after cause im training now alright bro'' and thats it, they will understand the message unless they are fucking retards. I know almost everyone at my gym, only gym in a small town.. people start to understand over time that when im training I wont talk about bullshit and now mostly just say hi, thats it.

I've tried that but unfortunately when you give someone an inch, they take amile. In fact one fellow who I have knows for 10 years is mentally challenged. He stocks produce at a grocery and even if I ignore him or even tell him I'm busy it doesn't faze him. To give you an example:

When I enter the mega fitness club and he spots me from across the gym, he will hollar out my name! I always ignore him and keep walking so he scurries over to me and bombards me with sports questions. If I am in the middle of a set he will walk over ans start asking me questions -IN THE MIDDLE OF A SET!- I ignore him and keep lifting and he just stands there and asks more questions. Its seriousy bad.
