Well almost got into a fight with a douche at the gym today. He came over kicked my shit off a bench and started using my shit like it was nothing. I was standing literally 12 inches from the bench when he did this, then he started acting like a tuff guy, being that he was slightly bigger and taller than me.
The fucking tool started raising his voice to get attention, I stayed cool, which pissed him off more. He walked away making a snide remark about the weight I was using. Needless to say, it was my first warmup set. I quickly ramped up to working weight which was twice what he was using, and he just kept giving me the stink eye from across the gym for the next hour. Every exercise I did he would use the machine or bench 10 feet behind me, then cross his arms and stare.
I really wanted him to take a swing. I would have crushed him. Plus I’m cool with the big boys at the gym, 2 are cops that bench and squat fucking houses, and another is an amateur bodybuilder and trained with Cutler when he visited my gym. [/quote]
Does that kind of stuff really happen?
I’ve seen some stupid stuff (more like, people with NO common sense standing under the bar while I’m doing overhead presses or some such haha), but never this kind of behavior… Must have been high or drunk or both…

It’s probably youth, I seen teenagers do this sort of stuff. It’s that whole invincibility phase teenage boys seem to go through.

Hmmm. I don’t know… Is it that phase or is it the person’s character and social situation/environment that’s at fault?
I’ve never seen that happen in the gyms here, but of course thuggish behavior happens all the time on the streets, at least in certain cities… But it’s usually hooligans, the nazis and their left counterparts, wanna-be gangsta’s… Idiots basically… They don’t do that without plenty of back-up either…
