I have never been more insulted in my life......

[Ozzie87]

I just got home from the gym, today was a grouling leg day, but i killed it regardless

anyway, i was sitting on the leg extension machine, just minding my own business in my rest phase when a guy walks out onto the gym floor from the changing room. he looks at me as if i have horns on my head or something, really staring at me, i just ignored him........

he walked over to another guy, they are both either rugby or football (soccer) players, team mates, and the guy who had been staring at me says to his friend
"who's that SCUMBAG over there?"
he was obviously talking about me! his friend mutters something, i think he said he didn't know who i was (i don't know or talk to either of these guys).
then this guy quite loudly again says "haha well his fat anyway" !!

Now i consider myself to be a respectable, civilized and friendly person, i'm not at all aggressive (except with the weights

) and i would NEVER act like that towards someone i didnt know for absolutly no reason. I'm also not exactly fat, but i used to be in my younger days, and got a lot of shit for it, so it hit a nerve.......

WTF??

my heart started racing faster and faster, i felt a blinding rage coursing through my whole body as i played what had just happened over, and over again in my head. I caught myself fantasizing about walking up to him and beating the living shit outta him..... doing all kinds of evil shit........ i managed to snap myself back to reality and started repeating "I'll be banned from the gym - I'll be banned from the gym - I'll be banned from the gym......" over and over until my heart rate slowed and i got myself under control. i calmly walked into the changing room, got dressed up and left.

Did i do the right thing??

what would you have done in that situation??

i could have ripped this guys limbs off by the way, with my bare hands, he wasn't what you'd call, ummm.... jacked LOL

In the heat of the moment I probably woulda Said something to him. But reading this calm as I am now as long as u cab live with yourself, u did the right thing . It wouldn't of been worth getting arrested, paying a lawyer, the aggrivation and possibly time
e out of the gym/ in prison all over some jerkoffs coment.

I would have responded with "Why dont you come say what youve got to say, to my face" then when they respond with the usual "What? Who? Us? No we are good..." and they walk away just respond with "Yup, thats what I thought"...

It never fails, if they talk under their breath its because they dont have the balls to say it to your face and they dont think that anyone will say something to them, so once they get caught off gaurd they look like little punks...I cant stand those type of people, they only act like that with their friends because they know they cant back up any of their BS.

PUSSY!!!!!!




jk who gives a shit what people say man. let it roll off your back as you laugh at the childish stupidity. retialiating on such a dumb thing can wind you in prison. and for what?? just because some idiot called you a name??? the only time i see it as ok to use violence is to defend myself, my family, or any innocent victim against a harmful threat.

 

[DJLegacy2k1]

Oh wow, I forgot to add that you did handle it in the BEST way tho, my way was just for fun lol

couldn't have said it better! alot of the times people like that are pussies! just last week i was driving to the gym and out of nowhere this prick guy in his 50's starts driving like a bat out of hell and speeding beside me. he then jerks over in front of me and at some point i remember saying "what is his problem". well i ended up getting in front of him and he speeds up next to me looking at me all hardcore. i immediately notice he's trying to get my attention and rolls his window down. to his suprise i slam on the brakes and roll mine down. he yells "i'm gonna make you my problem". i said "fuck off" and you gueesed it he changed lanes at the red light fartherest away from me. i veared off to the right and rolled into the gym. he could have easily followed me there and put his money where his mouth is. this isn't the first encounter of the same nature i've had with fuckin idiots on the road! but to answer your question, i am known to run my mouth at society so i probably would have said something to the guy in the gym and see where it went from there!

 

[dr.shavargo]

wow thats some bullshit i hate people like that. i would have atleast confronted him about it myself i dont let people get away with shit like that.

i talk shit in the gym too but its out of fun and to the people i know in a jokeing manner to where they hear me and they just look at me and smile or wave lol

 

[SpyWizard]

yea, ya can't allow others to influence you.. otherwise you need to learn to smile and say loudly

"not what your moms said last night"

but if you go this route, you should be ready to put him in the hospital.. or yourself..

 

[Nelson Montana]

Aah, kids.

Where's RADAR?

Look, people get pissed. They say shit. What are you proving by getting pissed back?

Someone gives me the finger when I'm driving, I laugh at the douschbag that he thinks he's upsetting me. Is it worth trying to cut him off and maybe smacking my car up or hitting another car and hurting someone who has nothing to do with the bullshit at hand. Or maybe have the guy pull a gun on me and paralyze me for life. For WHAT?

That guy at the gym was probably pissed that you were sitting on the bench. Hey, I do it too, and you know what? Sometimes I get irritated when someone plants themselves on one machine. It's a public gym. If you're not using the machine, let someone else get a set in. It's all a part of living in a civilized society.

If you met that guy under different circumstances you might be pals. Or maybe he had a bad day.

Bottom line: Be tolerant. But don't take shit. Stand your ground. But sometimes you have to let others pass.

I would have challenged him to a break dance fight
