Morons at the gym (the official thread)...

[overcome73]

The other day I walk onto the gym and laying on the platform is a bar with two 45's on each side and a 100 lb plate on each side as well. It was collared and the little
2 1/2 's were laying next to it....anotherwords, someone had that 2 1/2 there to asist them with loading it. No one was there. It was just left!

Why the frig do people do that? I mean when you are in that lifting mentality, the last thing I want to do is unload 100 lb plates. That is bullshit. I thnk that anyone that does not unload their weight should be shattered in the back of the head with a 45.

inconciderateness in the gym never ceases to amaze me...

I agree... those people should be physically wounded.

Not unloading plates or putting back the dumbells is a whole other story..

HTF did I forget to post this ...

The gym has been flooded lately with the HS football team ... and I mean they sit around, play b-ball, wait for the ring leader to ENTER then proceed follow him around and engulf the weight room just taking up space ... NEVER clean up ... laughed in the face of my gurl Mary (hella cool chick that does my bodyfat) when she asked them to please put the weights back ... 110 lb DBs, I mean it is tough for her ... they do this often ... ALL over the floor.

(1) I have one of them literally standing a foot behind me when I was trying to do good mornings ... I mean RIGHT THERE ... they could have moved, I wasn't 'in the way' .. it was MY space ... and granted it was a 70 lb weighted barbell ... I WILL hurl that BACK & let it drop where it may next time ... Picture a circle around the Cybex Decline Press, his back to me ... MOVE!!!!!!!!

(2) Doing Incline Bench Press ... load up my mini plates ... warm up set, crack out about 15 ... add more weight ... 12 more... mad pumps going on .. add more weight ... entire time kids in my space, but I brush it off, I'm FOCUSED, I'm in the zone ... last load of weight I tell myself I WILL do without a spot ... and come back around to sit on bench ... 30 seconds pass ... 1 minute passes ... they have naviagted again over in my space, each set had to move away from the bar 'hitting them' in a COMPLETELY WIDE OPEN SPACE ... the kid has his hand on the bar, rolling the bar, the weight is spinning ... I JUST got done doing a set ... added more weight, and before I could sit down, leaning on it talking to his friend ... I was speechless ... I could NOT speak ... seriously ... the look on my face must have been priceless ... "Oh sorry ... "

... The stupidity ...

You should have been blunt ald told them to give you some space or they would likley get hurt by a run away dumbell/barbell.

Bunny,

I am not saying this to sound like some kind of animal, because I am generally very easy going.but if I was in my training mode and some dude kept getting in my way and then leaning on my bar, I probably would have snapped. I am sure I would have asked him to move first, but if I turned around to do my set and he was there leaning on my bar and bullshitting, I am pretty sure I would have saw nothing but fire!

As this progressively gets worse & worse I will in fact say something... NO DOUBT ... but I'd like to drop the weight on them first ... After the poor thing does the WORST set of flat Bench I have ever seen, then flexes his arm to see his tri 'pop' ... I have to admit, I feel a little bad ... So I keep to myself, people watch and think, hmm I may just have an EF moron story here ... OH, and a DB WILL get hurled ... I already told the staff that, they were warned...
