Some People Are In They’re Own Little World…
Hey wuts up everybody!
So I’m at the gym doin’ a shoulder workout in front of the dumbell rack (I ain’t gonna lie, I was at the end, where the 20’s & 25’s r at). Anyways, I’m right in the middle of my set & this trainer comes right up next to me & is stairing at me. Like 2 feet away from me! He’s trying to organize the dumbells on the rack & he’s actin’ like if he doesn’t do it right this second, the world is gonna come crumbling down. I don’t even aknowledge him. So instead of waiting about 30 seconds for me to finish, he squeeeeeeezes inbetween me & the rack (practically brushing against me) & proceeds to organize said waits. I was SOOO tempted to drop one of the weights & act like I injured myself just to see wut he would do, but I ain’t all about drama, so I just coughed real loud. I guess he kinda realized wut he was doing & he moved outta the way & walked off. It kinda pissed me off that some one who is supposedly a professional is totally unaware of doing something like that. I know we all gotta share the gym with others & I’m all for that, but come on?!
Anyways, thanks for listening to me vent. I can’t b the only one that something like this has happened to….?

Yeah, I know these people. He was hating on you and testing you to see if you were really focused on workout. When these haters see someone trying to reach their potential, they get insecure about their own direction in life and try to interrupt the progress of the object of hatred. He’s going to do something again. when he does, address it head on by discussing it with the manager of the gym. It’s an easier resolution since the person works for the gym.

HOLY HELL! What an *******! Can people be ANY more rude?!
I had something similar to that happen today. On the Fly Machine, some dick-head saw it in himself to squeeze between me and the stretching board. (about 2 feet of space in between) COULDN’T go around…

Don’t let him get to you, bro. If you do, then he’s won and you’ve lost. Next time, simply stop what you’re doing, look him straight in the eye, and say, "Sorry, but you’ll have to wait until I’m finished." Then go back to your routine and don’t acknowledge him again. That usually works for me. If that fails, drop a dumbbell on his toe.

He was most likely bothered that you were doing your sets in front of the rack. Next time try stepping away to leave room. But he should have waited until you were finished.
