I expect this kind of shit from the newbies, but not from a vet.
Last week. Guy who was obviously a competetive BBer was there training someone. Was doing heavy mil presses with dbs. Drops them to the ground after the last set, huge crash the whole gym could hear.
I was pissed.
Guy goes for new dbs for next set, 10lbs heavier. Pulls them off the rack...BOOM....BOOM...drops them on the floor, one right after the other.
I'd had enough.
"Dude you keep dropping those weights, they'll throw you right out of here."
"Uh, I was just setting them down man," he said, all annoyed.
Whatever. I let it go and went back to my workout.
The little fuck had the balls to complain about me. He heard, "Dude you keep dropping those weights and I'll throw you out of here." Like I was threatening him or something. I'm across the gym by now and I see this little asshole pointing at me and pleading his case to the barely-out-of-puberty gym cleanup boy.
Cleanup boy comes to me and says, "Sir, was there some sort of confrontation here?" I said look, all i said was that if he keeps dropping the weights like that, he's gonna get thrown out. We don't allow that here.
"Well, he's a competetive bodybuilder and they have certain ways of doing things," says acne boy.
Wrong answer.
"I don't care if he's Arnold fucking Swartzenegger, we don't drop weights in this gym. It's posted on every wall. Are you saying the gym rules don't apply to him?" Note, I've been going to this Golds for about four years now. It's much more family oriented than hardcore. We have tanning, daycare and a hip-hop class for Christ sake!
Blank stare.
"Yes you're right. I'll talk to him."
That was pretty much the end of it. He stopped dropping the weights even though he insisted he was being treated so unfairly.
I can't believe someone like this thinks that abusing the equipment is perfectly appropriate. In my four years at that gym, I've never complained about anyone or any thing. But I'd had enough.
Rant over....Comments welcome. Thanks
