Yesterday I was working out in our small gym. I purposely work out midday so I can be left the hell alone.

In comes two guys and one is obviously the PT. These two never shut up for a fucking moment. To make matters worse yesterday was a chest day and guess what they were working?

I bit my tongue a half dozen times and then just left 15 minutes short on my work out. I just knew it was not going to go well if I spoke my mind. I envisioned a dozen of their responses and I would have verbally body slammed them for any one of them.

I guess I could have been really polite and said cackling like two fucking laying hens is distracting and they have coffee houses for their kind of work outs. Test base had me a little in rut I guess. Men that chatter like women bother outside the gym much less in it.

What do you say when people talk incessantly in the gym? There are no gym rules that can't gab like a gaggle of pregnant woman but fuck me it gets on my nerves.
 
I had a different aggravation today. After the Charlottesville riots the black folks at my work are feeling a little embolden. I walked past a fat black woman leaving work and she muttered "you better keep walking white boy". I slowed down and looked back, caught myself and kept walking. If I even made a statement I would have EEOC on my ass in the morning and then in sensitivity/diversity training by the week's end... or worse.

Welcome to my former life a special education teacher for 10 years in an all-black high school. I put up with that "blessed language" for a decade before I traded my blue pill of acceptance and toleration to the red pill of reality. Many high school girls in my classes would sit there tapping their head and sucking their thumbs (16-18 year olds). Once I asked a 17 year old boy, "Why do the girls continually tap their heads in class?" "Glue," he said. "What," I asked? "Mr. ______, dey uze glue in dere hair weaves, when dey hair grow it itch, if they scratch den dere hair fall out so dey just tap, tap, tap away!" Nuff said Glyc, just keep walking.
 
I threw my brief case on an airplane today. People appeared uncomfortable around me after that. I took a nap.

Wow you must be off tren to let that slide. Unless you are soo racially outnumbered at work that she coulda picked any random 5 blacks as witnesses to paint a different picture. Don't think I coulda let that slide otherwise.

I do all my stuff anything up to 545 at home. The worst things I contend with are mosquitos, but I use spray, or my dog taking a dump in out of 20 acres to choose from, directly upwind of me.

Well depends on the severity. Gotta remember, even though we might be muscle heads and think we own the gym from time to time, gotta also remember others are paying customers too. Unless in a very hardcore gym, don't think I've ever seen any rules stating no talking permitted. So. Fortunately the gym I go to is pretty hardcore and don't have to deal with that. However, I have had situations in other gyms before where I had to handle it. Here a few episodes and how I handled it:

1 - Two guys were talking "over me" - I was ready to do db flyes, and a guy was standing on each side of me talking to each other. I merely looked at them and said "Yo fellas how 'bout a little respect here eh?". They replied "Oh sorry my bad" and walked to a different area of the gym to continue their chat. It prolly helped that I was holding the 80's and not the 30's. I could do my warm-ups/feel-sets with them talking, but not my work-sets - not happening.

2 - Some dude using 4 pieces of equipment doing his fruity little circuit training. One piece was the Smith. I seen him doing this countless times before, and knew he would have it tied up for 30-40 minutes. So I told him "Yo man you're tying this up for my whole workout - I gotta work in." He replied "My bad - go ahead and use it then I can do it on another bench".

3 - A guy sitting on the pull-down station I needed - doing a set, then on his cell for another 5 mins, repeat. I told him I needed it. He just went away.

That's 3 cases off the top of my head.

Simple shit really. I'm pretty extroverted and never have been the shy type. Also I get along with most everybody, and know when to make a joke to get the point across if needed. Being kinda big mighta helped in all instances too I dunno. Hope that helps.
 
^ this. Alittle courteous but direct matter fact communication usually solves these issues.
 
If it's just talk, I stay pretty focused. I'm either psyching up for a set or trying to cat h my breath after a set. Thing up equipment is a whole different critter.

I never hit a woman in my life. This one is protected by EEOC.

Hit?? :eek:

Definitely didn't mean anything of the kind. Only meant replying something like "Pardon me?", and see if she said it to my face. If so, that's when my camera record mode is going on as we conversate.

Btw I figured you to work in a lab setting with other scientists, chemists & whatnot. Is she one of them? If so, fucking crazy how someone with that intellect would come off like that dayuum.
 
Also being protected by the EEOC doesn't give someone the right to make racist comments to others. What she said to you certainly qualifies.
