A brand new high end executive gym opened. It was on the 24th floor of a MetLife building. My buddy and I got some free day passes so we went to check it out early in the day. Gym was brand new, new equipment, still smell the fresh paint and carpet. In the back corner was the bench. My buddy and I proceed to do bench. We went up to 3 plates a side. We finish our sets and go to unrack, I take off one plate, walk over to the weight stack and put it away, my lazy friend just slides the first plate off and throws it on the floor so I'm like 10 feet away coming back to grab the next plate and he's already taken 2 off his side and proceeds with the last plate, so now there's two plates on my side and none on his. As the he slides the last plate off the end, like a slingshot the bar flips up and does a 180 turn and rips right into the drywall creating a three foot hole in the brand new wall. I'm just standing there stunned. We look at each other and just bee line it straight out of the gym. Never looked back, never went back. Haha.
