Discounts & Deals - Sign Up!Pervs in the gym piss me off!!!!
I swear there is this one really old guy that just creeps me out at the gym...I have been going to the YMCA for over 5 years now and I have had TONS of guys come up to me and say "ummmm, you need to do this exercise like this, your doing it all wrong..." Or they will comment on my tattoos or ask me questions. I have my i-pod glued to me the entire time that I am working out! Why talk to someone that has head phone on!!!!! I CANT HEAR YOU NOR DO I WANT TO TALK TO YOU WHEN I AM DOING 30LB BICEPT CURLS, ass!!! Sorry but today the worst thing happened to me yet! Back to what I was saying....There is this one old guy that goes to the gym and sits on the machines and basically watches me the whole time. I do admit, I get into it at the gym (no I dont make sex noises while exercising!) Anyway, usually I block out the guys checking me out and focus on form and what I am doing. Today was leg day. So first off I do squats then I go straight to doing deadlifts (80 pounds mind you!) So I put two 25lb plates on the floor (to lift my heels up so that I can really get a good lift in) and the 80lb weighted bar in front of me and away I go, doing deadlift after dead lift. There is not much room for me to do deadlifts anywhere but sandwiched in between the weighted bars and right in front of the leg extention machine. Well, this ******* sits right in front of me on the machine while I am bending over and trying to stick my butt out as far as possible and just sits there! I was right in the middle of a set so I didnt stop but I basically was bending over right in fron of him (my head in his direction so it was very uncomforatble for me because all I could see was his old crotch!). I was so pissed off (still am, cant you tell!) That I dropped the bar (I never throw weights) and just stood there looking at him until he felt so uncomforatable that he moved. I didnt say a word. I just dropped the weight and gave him the most god aweful look (while saying the most god awful things in my head to him.) Sometimes you dont need to say anything, you just need to say what you want in your head while looking at the person and your eyes and face do the talking. I am so sick of this perv and have had to deal with him for the last year. NO MORE! I am going to intimidate the hell out of him everytime he is there. MOVE OUT OF MY WAY. STOP STARING AT ME AND DO WHAT YOU CAME TO DO. WORKOUT!
Ok, ok,ok, I am done with the rant. I just had to get this off of my chest. Thanks for listening!
tell me about it. i get so frustrated when a woman is checking out my junk when i'm laying there doing bench presses or doing squats :) i'm just joking hopefully you smiled just a lil. i honestly feel sorry for the women at the gym who are there for real. don't get me wrong i do look, but it's more of glances then overtly staring a chick down. don't let the perv's get to ya, they are probably jealous they can't lift like you :)
Wow, that sucks! Talk about creepy and inappropriate. I have to admit, I can't help but steal looks at a girl if she has a nice body, I find it very personally motivational as well as, well, just pleasing, like looking at art. But no way would I go out of my way to stare or make a person feel uncomfortable. I would feel flattered myself if I caught someone checking me out but if it became their whole reason for being there I would become terrible distracted and frustrated.
Thanks you guys! I know!!!! I just had to rant. I am feeling better about the whole thing today but man oh man was I pissed yesterday when I typed that. Sigh, sometimes you just gotta let it go, thanks for the ears!
Since it's the Y (i.e. family center), I'd tell management if this guy didn't get the hint. Ask a manager to speak to him if he continues.
