Some meat gazer was eye-balling my junk in the locker room. That is a taxable offense.

There were three guys at my university’s gym last week, DB benching. They dragged the bench right in front of the dumbbell rack and rested their feet on the still in the rack while benching. I don’t think I need to elaborate on this stupidity.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding but putting a bench in front of 120 + DBs is hardly a gym crime. I’m trying to DB bench, not do a farmers walk. What’s next? Rolling them to the bench a gym crime too? Feet in the rack? Dumb. Putting bench in front of heavy bells - not dumb.

send a very subtle message by using the dumbells the keep resting their feet on.
send a not so subtle message by dropping the dumbells on their feet.
No, they were in front of the “normal” DBs, 50-60 pounds, which are used quite frequently. Again, feet resting on the dumbells, with at least 10 square feet of empty space behind them were the bench usually stands.

so i was siting there with my eyes closed listening to my ipod right. when i get a tap on my shoulder.

I didnt know what to think. I mean i didnt know saunas were a gay sex hangout still. I thought that was like the in the 70’s.
To make a long story short i have not been in a sauna since and cancelled my membership the next day. has this happened to anyone else or am i the only one???[/quote]
I think some guido just wanted to give you The Situation.
I’m kind of glad I read this, I’m never going to go to a sauna at a gym.

am i the only one that saw this as dumb?
a dude comes on to you, and you assault him, cancel your membership, and are traumatized?
LOL.
To keep this simple, I’m not gay, but i do believe in equal rights. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just say, “I’m not gay” and leave?
Him coming on to you means he considers you at least sort of attractive maybe? so just take it as a complement, or just suppress the darn memory, regardless, resorting to assault is just to damn far man.

First, the fact that someone even came onto the guy like that means he must not look too intimidating. I personally can’t imagine something like that happening to me, but I sure as hell wouldn’t waste my energy trying to kill them. Not to mention that I have no doubt they would press charges if I removed some guy’s face for making a comment. How insecure about yourself must you be to react like that? His comment may have been offensive…but that poster rearranged his entire life and changed gyms because of it.
Fucking LOL!
I am confused as to who is the pussy in that situation.
Did a “crime” tonight.
I went straight to the squat rack, there was an empty bar with the tampon on it, so I guessed no one was there. I proceed to set the rack for pin presses. Then a girls comes to me and say she was there and I took her place. She’s a somewhat athletic/lightly fat girl, so I was like “WTF are you doing squatting the bar only?! With the tampoon?!”, but I just said" Excuse me, want to have your place back?", but she just went away.
Well, it’s like in prison, the person who moves the most weight gets the equipment 
Seriously, I’d be a jerk to act like that. But hey, olympics bars are meant to hold weight on the sleeves, how could I know it was already in use!
The “gay bashing” post made me remind of the time I use to W-O in a college gym, with guys 3-5 years younger and much smaller in size. I used to stare at them in the locker room, it made them somewhat freak out. No homo, it was just crazy fun to watch their total discomfort being seen as a prey Lol, funny time, but it was somekind of abuse from me, I wouldn’t do it again.
About a month ago… I was under the bar getting ready to BP…had my eyes closed and as i get going, I notice I’m totally off-balance and one side is significantly heavier than the other. I manage to pull it back and rack it. I look around and I see this woman walking off with a plate…she had taken it directly from the bar while I was under it, getting set to lift. I looked at her and just said “Excuse me?” and she was like “Oh are you using this?”… i wasn’t a jerk about it though

I did a similar thing one time going to deadlift and there was a bench in the area I usually used. There were some dumbbells next to it, so I was pretty sure there was somebody on it.
The gym was crowded and I was not in the mood to mess around so I tossed it away and set up quick to deadlift so I would be going before the operator of said equipment returned. It turned out a younger woman had set it up, and I was not sympathetic to her trying to explain that she was using the bench.
I regret doing it, but looking back I still would have done it giving my state of mind at the time. But, when I die though and my life flashes in front of my eyes I will remember that moment and look upon myself with shame.
I see the women I stole it from in the gym all the time now too, and she is serious and does non-fluff stuff and works hard, so that makes me feel extra bad that I got in the way of serious training.

OH SHIT! do you live in the Sault? Some sick stuff has been happening there over the last few months. Some kids took a razor blade to the punching bag in the multipurpose room. Some one (a teenager) pissed on the men’s sauna. The old guys sit ass and balls naked on the stools in the change room. People leaving horrendous messes of weights all over.
I’m about to snap I tell ya!

I have had that happen before, and I am a complete jerk about it. If you don’t have the simple awareness to recognize when someone is using a weight i.e. they are physically touching the bar the plate is on, then you need to remove yourself from the gym. Now, before you hurt yourself or someone else.
About a year ago I got a day pass to the Buffalo Athletic Club. Before I started training I had a look around the rather large facility. On the lower level there was the pool, locker rooms, sauna and whirlpool.
Yes, I saw the usual old farts shaving naked in the locker room-no surprise there. But a peek into the sauna revealed something that creeps me out to this day. Some solitary old fart was masturbating in the sauna. Must have figured since he had the sauna to himself he could set up a date with the palm sisters.
I didn’t join.

I’ve pissed in the shower on occasion. Is that a crime?
I’m with all guys who find the nude shavers offensive. I see the same guy at the gym every time I’m coming in - standing in front of the sink mirror, shaving in the nude. Wtf.[/quote]
Is it me? Cause I have my shower and then air dry (not blow dry) while I shave…my face!! I’m very careful so my exposed balls dont come jingling anywhere near the counter either 
There is enough naked guys walking around and blow drying their crack or w.e. that I dont find my ways all that disturbing.
stealing from people’s lockers is true gym crime lol
glad I don’t workout in a gym with all these stories I’ve heard so far and got my own things at home. Might not be the best set-up but it gets the job done.
as for the sauna thing…if for some reason a guy did that to me I’d probably laugh and think he was joking and reply with whatever came into my mind a the moment (not sure what I would say exactly in that situation I’d have to be there to know)
if he got a little more serious about it I’d just tell him to get the fuck outta here.
From there I highly doubt he would want to further converse with me.
The gym I train at has some serious etiquette issues. Not netsurfing on the elliptical type stuff, but ignoring the towel, straps, water bottle, and clipboard that are lying around the bench and proceeding to strip the bar and carry it off before bothering to ask if anyone is using it. Also, walking into a relatively empty free weight area and seeing about 400 pounds of various DBs, plates and bars scattered on the floor because whatever genius decided he needed to do triple drop sets of curls also decided he wasn’t interested in putting them back. I usually end up cleaning the place up because the management is just as clueless as the clientele. But my personal favorite has to be the gym who sits his sweaty ass not only on your bench, but on your towel.

One time I wasn’t benching but I saw a stupid PT put a 25 on the end of a bar that was already at 135 (someone had left it like that)instead of puttn git on the weight tree so now it had an extra 25 on ONE side. I thought “That’s stupid, dangerous and lazy…someone could’ve been in the middle of that…come back and have a helluva lot of trouble.”
So then I figured, “Hell, let’s pretend it was me.” so I go to the bench ,lay down and start, then rack it and jump up looking at the new 25 on it and gave the PT some shit in shitty Chinese. (I’m in Taiwan)

Ha…no, but close. Celebrity Fitness (it looks like a nightclub), which apparently just bought all the California Fitnesses in Malaysia. I’ve trained at a Cali before as well, and the pain is comparable. At least at Cali there weren’t dudes who took their shirts off in the gym and posed in the mirror…wtf, is this Pumping Iron?
I committed a minor offense by doing rack chins in the smith machine. But it was because some moron was doing bent over rows in the squat rack, and I had nowhere else to go.
that is def a crime. surf the web at home, not at the gym. that’s why these people always look like shit and they wonder why some numb-skull personal trainer takes advantage of their idiocy and makes money off them without working them hard.

I know what you mean about a nightclub…this is my gym at 7AM on a weekday. Does anyone in the morning really want to hear Christina Aguilera or Nickleback at 7AM and loud???
