Excuse me please! WTF!
Those of you who have of late encountered gym ettiqette faux pauxs, uh ok BS from Dumb Asses!
Feel my pain I had another misguided individual mucking up my training again.
I was preparing to do Barbell Curls which I normally do by just laying the bar over the end of the flat bench so I laid my training log on the bench and removed my watch and laind it on the bench and I laid my wrist roller on the bech IE I filled the bench up with my stuff I was obviously using this bench!
Oh yeah did I mention I was 2 feet away from the fixed barbell rack?
At any rate I walked over grabbed the 95lb Barbell and turned around and there she was standing two inches directly in front of the end of the bench I was going to lay the bar across doing some half assed upright row type movement with a 15lb EZ Bar.
I am standing there with a 95lb barbell in my hands and she is still doing her weird little move in slow motion grunting with every rep! I could feel my face getting red and not from the strain of holding the barbell!
Excuse me please I sad and stepped directly in front of her inbetween her and the bench I should say and went right back to training.
I heard her mumble something and she moved away…. not far away but a couple of feet behind me and just kept doing her combo hang clean upright reverse curl crap move!
Good God! WTF! Come on is cadid camera following me around these days or what? You have got to be kidding me!
The amount of people who think the world owes them something or are entitled to something or who are just Ass Backward is obviously increasing!
Once again my little man who was in day care at the time was waiting patiently for me and as usual had so much to tell me about his adventure in the climbing castle that I simmered down pretty quick and realized the sun really was shining and it was a pretty good day after all!

Try this next time:
1) Observe total idiot has entered your training area.
2) Immediately declare said training area as Cursed Ground! (Stupidity is contagious, I swear.)
3) Snatch up all your sh!t as quickly as possible and move to higher (and smarter) ground.
4) Complete training.
5) Share tales of adventure in the climbing castle with your child.
Ahhh! Sounds like the perfect workout.
Optional:
2a) Go so far as to move the bench you had all your items placed on in addition to those items and then as you’re dragging or carrying the bench away from the aforementioned idiot, say loudly, "EXCUSE ME, SORRY, I’LL BE OUT OF YOUR WAY IN A JIFFY. IF YOU NEED THIS BENCH I WAS USING JUST ASK BECAUSE I’LL BE OVER HERE, OKAY? THANK YOU!"
Or something like that.
And, yeah, "Nothing surprises me anymore in this world of ours!!!!" What she said.

Okay, I want to change my vote.
Give her a wedgie next time. Just grab tight and pull upwards forcefully.
And then deny it ever happened. Do it quick so there are no witnesses. Leave her with her granny panties up around her ears and continue your curls as if nothing had happened.
…
Okay, I take it back.
Because that would be a BAD thing.
:D

Awww! Children are so innocent and happy and oblivious to the crap we have to deal with as adults. I can’t wait to have 4 of them (my husband thinks different).
