Douchebags at the gym...

Bill_Plates said:
Two douches, not gym related.

Douche number one is my dog for making me walk him at 4:30 this morning in the blistering cold and douche number two is this guy we saw jogging down the street screaming at the top of his lungs.

I don't know if he was trying to psych himself up or he was screaming in pain from the cold, but regardless it was 4:30 in the morning. People were trying to sleep. I was ready to let my dog loose on the guy.

My dog gets me up to pee at 0100 and I take him out again when I get up at 0330. At 0600 I can barely drag her up. I think she does it on purpose.
 
Dogs that sleep in crates don't wake up in the middle of the night. Mine used to get us up early on the weekends and now he's in a crate, I sleep as long as we want on off days. If we don't get up by 830-9, he starts howling, considering normal awake time is 6.

My crated dog disagrees with you.
 
Dogs only do that when they aren't trained to not or are used to a previous schedule. It sounds like you were already awake, though, and he just found it a great time for a nippy walk to start the day!
 
Yea, dogs are pretty adaptable. Ours goes to bed and wakes with us, when he was a bit younger he'd want up in the middle of the night, but now it's my daughter that wants that :)
 
My dog used to scream whenever I left the room she was in when she was a puppy. She didn't bark, she didn't howl... She screamed bloody murder, she actually sounded kind of human. The first time I heard it I almost had a heart attack. But every time I would come back into the room, she would run to me and wag her tail. It got REALLY annoying.
 
So I joined a new gym two months ago,it's small,has everything so all the benefits none of the wait.So I started noticing (i train in the mornings) that on the machines every morning the weight was incredibly high.After a week of fueling up on carbs and proteins I attempted these weights,no go jack so I thought well **** there must be one hell of a beast around here.I went to the gym tonight and noticed a puffberry (small,little definition,long feminine hair) of a dude doing machine rows..then I noticed he was actually attempting a rope curl..Found out that this legendary beast is a little puffberry with no form who moves the weight an inch then considers it a job well done...Douch

It's all for the show huh?
 
There will always be that guy. Loads up, looks around to make sure eyes on him and then proceeds to eek out 3inch ROM to everyone's disappointment, yet his delight in getting the attention. Just in case the weight load isn't sufficient in turning heads, he will let out primal yells and body slaps to get intense- only with the same results.

Soooo.... I saw online that GNC had a sale on Quest Bars and I decided to go to the store and get some.

I was looking at the bars and there wasn't any sales tag by them.

Me: Are the quest bars on sale?
Cashier: Oh, yea, if you buy 3 you get 1 free, but you'll need to be a Gold Card member.
Me: Oh, I am. Is that the only sale you guys have going on with the bars?
Cashier: Yes, a case is $36.
Me: Well, online it said a case was $25.
Cashier: Oh, oh yea, it's $25 with your card.

Effn douche!!! This is why I only go to GNC if I realllllly need something.

I stopped going to GNC when I stopped in to poke around and a guy kept bugging me about ****ing muscletech. He says "I use it." I said "I can tell" and walked away. haha

So I was squatting today. I had like 12 sets lined up, I was doing some speed work and a bunch of paused front squats. About halfway through this lady set down her water bottle and some straps on a bench near my rack, and walked to the dumbells and did a few sets of shrugs. She then sat down on that bench and pulled out her phone and started looking through Instagram and Facebook. On like my tenth set, I caught her giving me dirty looks. So I asked if she was waiting for the squat rack, and she nodded. I told her I only had a couple sets left, and she looked exasperated. I finished and stripped the bar, and as I was walking away, I noticed her raising the safeties and putting the bar on them so she could do shrugs. With 95 pounds. There were plenty of other empty bars and platforms or even empty spaces she could have used... And she took up a good squat rack to do shrugs. With 95 pounds. And she acted like I was a douche for using the squat rack for what it was intended for.
Also, last night there was a crowd of like 5 teenage kids using the same squat rack for curls. I believe they had 85 pounds on the bar and they were doing sets of like 2 that were more like reverse cleans than curls. But hey; who am I to judge. Arnold did cheat curls... Right?

Are you serious? "Lady, please stop using this equipment for what it was intended for. I must curl. I can't deadlift 65lbs, so I have to pull it out of the rack and curl it. I'm sure you'll accommodate."

That is a an opportune moment to add sets to your routine. Or point to your developed quads and comment, "they don't build themselves" in a cute, girl kind of way.

Haha, I gave him the I can't believe this muthereffer just did that look, especially since the power rack was open. :/ I'm too nice, that's why I keep the b*tch face on at the gym. :shrugs:

Nothing wrong with a bitch face at the gym. Judging by the sounds of the guy, you probably intimidated him anyway. It's good to look pissed off at the gym, people generally get out of your way and stay out of your way. I always look angry at the gym. People just don't bother me.

Lol, I think in the 4 years I've been training, I've made 2 friends and talked to a total of 10 people. Oh and I even had a stalker! Haha that's when you know you're awesome! Jk :D

Hahahaha I've actually LOST friends because of the gym! I hate having training partners, but I've had friends from work who had been nipping at my heels to lift with me. But I told them in the gym, they better shut their mouth and work, it's not social hour. But they just felt the need to constantly socialize instead of spot me, and I've been crushed by the bar while benching and I've dropped the bar off my back while squatting because they were bad spotters and were hitting on chicks or talking to people while I was lifting. End of friendship.

Dude. Those people are everywhere in my gym. It's usually the 18-20 year old dudes who want to have the beach muscles ready for tank top season. One time I was at the gym, I wanted to end my chest day with some cable flyes.... I went back to the flye machine and there's some dude on it using ONE cable, doing 500 different variations of tricep push downs. He had the v bar, a short rope, a long rope, a single rope, a straight bar and an ez bar. He used ALL OF THEM. For multiple high rep sets. I watched him while I did dips to stay warm... You know what he did after he finished with all the variations of tricep push downs? .....HE LOWERED THE FREAKIN CABLE SO HE COULD DO 500 VARIATIONS OF CABLE CURLS. I laughed and just walked out of the gym. Maybe someday he'll learn that maybe he should focus on rowing and pressing...
 
In the middle of my heavy squat set, some DBs walked over to my power rack and started taking plates off the rack posts so they could bench somewhere behind me. Couldn't even wait for me to finish my set!

This has happened to me many times before. It's like omgggggghhhh!!!!!! Wtf?!?!???
 
This confused the hell out of me. I was using a bench and next to me was a personal trainer that I'm friendly with and behind me on another bench were these two guys, probably about mid 20s. I'm foam rolling and then I see one of them going to pick up my gym bag.

I said, excuse me, and he continued to proceed with the bag. I then went up and said why are you taking my bag. The one guy said oh my friend said it was his. I walked by them a little later to put my foam roller back and guess what, neither one of them had a bag. I think he was trying to take it since I have my versa grips, belt, bands, etc in there. After it happened, the PT and I just looked at each other like WTF.

That's F'd up. I always freak out about leaving my bag where I can't see it. The last time I trained with someone, he'd just leave his wallet and keys on the ground and we'd do different workouts farrrrrrrrrr away from it. I asked why he just leaves it sitting out in the open, and he said, "oh, what are they going to take, a few plastic cards?!" F all that!
 
Brace yourselves...this is the time of the year where all the douchebags are on the prowl.

Earlier this week, a trio was squatting 75 lbs. Not a douche moment in itself but the other two guys were lounging on the floor while he finished his set. Had to step over him in order to get where I needed to be.

Immediately thought of this thread.

I always zip up my bag, and make sure I don't dig too much into it so people don't see what I have. There's been times when I have class and have to put my iPad or MacBook in my gym bag. I'm super OCD about my stuff. O.o

People are always trying to steal stuff at our gym. I remember about a year ago I walked in as some dude was running out, and I asked my trainer John what was going on and he said they just called the cops because that guy stole a bunch of stuff out of the lockers.

That's exactly why I have a lock for my locker now.
 
Let me catch a guy running after stealing stuff. I will catch him and he can fence the stuff to pay his medical bills once my hands get on him
