Been going to the gym in andorra Philadelphia for six months now... and everyone is really nice. for community reasons i dont love how everyone has their headphones on, but that's a me thing and not a them thing. Today i had my first meat head douche bag encounter, which was so petty...
...and also minor. Some guy was standing at one trx pull up bar but kind of straddling two and a half stations. i wanted to use that third half-blocked station. of note he was idle, not working anything. he had headphones in, and his bag and water bottle was in my landing zone.
I ask if he's using this third pull up bar and he goes "no" but his stuff is in the way. so i point at the stuff. he harumfs and moves the bag and i moved the water bottle.
"don't touch my stuff," he goes.
Anyway, i get it maybe i should have waited for two seconds to let him move the object but i was trying to help. I understand leaving stuff at a station for temporary dibbs, whilst resting between sets or whatever. But I feel like his hogging multiple stations with his inanimate objects, while not using them, was a bigger social faux pa (sp?) than me moving the water bottle 15 inches.
that's it. sorry bro, if you are a germiphobe or something. but if you don't want people touching your shit at the gym don't leave it in the way.
end scene.
