So obviously my gym is now a dojo I guess. Today the wife wanted to hit the gym and I figured I'd hit bi's and tri's since i have an appointment on Monday and will miss my scheduled arm day w/ my power lifting buddy. I grabbed a bench, set my drink jug on it and then my son asked me to hold his bench while he drank some water. Elapsed time before his return about 25 seconds I guess. So as I approach my lil' bench a guy walks up and is right on the edge of it with a curl bar and was like 'are you working here?' (I'm standing there, it's a bench with shit on it so basically mmmmm, yeah) I just said "go ahead bro it's all you." shook my head and walked off because I have a tendency of saying rude shit when folks invade my personal space in the gym. I mean why would you stand 1" from the bench? Maybe my sense of gym etiquette is skewed, I don't know. My son asked 'why'd you give up the bench?' and I explained that sometimes it's just better to let these new guys do what they do than to say something totally off the wall. So the guy apparently got mad because I didn't wanna be there after he said 'there's plenty of room' and I pointed out that there wasn't any room at all actually. He set the bar down, poised in the mirror, threw a right cross, followed by a round house kick, then landed striking the floor with his hand and stood up and looked at me... he didn't like my response to that because I laughed and asked him if he was mad. He started walking towards me and I told him 'I'm gonna break your arm so you know.' He then stopped and walked away. What the fuck is wrong with my gym?
