not a big southpark fan, eh? oh well, nobody’s perfect.

I’ve tried to watch it, but I’m not into the violent humor stuff. It’s just not funny. Jackass is funny (stupid funny), Southpart is just dumb.

??? how you could you like jackass, and not southpark. violent humor? jackass is “violent humor” southpark is a cartoon. there is nothing funnier than southpark, period. jackass is lame, used to be funny, not any more.

that is frickn weird. you can’t like jackass and not like southpark. wtf is wrong with you ?

i still find jackass funny, but i’ve only seen like 4 episodes.

To the OP, you committed the doucebaggery in the first place. Rules are rules. Acting like a rebel in front of your homo friends or whatever doesn’t make you cool, it makes you a fag.

One day someone will knock you the fuck out and you’ll learn.

In this instance, you learn’t your lesson, you got kicked out and got your money back.

The gym owner should have had the courage to confront you personally and tell you himself that you were no longer welcomed.

This line of reasoning assumes that the owner was available at the time of the ‘banning’. Maybe he was out sick that day, maybe it was his day off, maybe he had to take his car to the shop, maybe he was busy shagging one of the aerobics instructors, or maybe he was selling a membership to a new client. Surely you don’t think he should have let this douchebag continue to use his facility until they crossed paths again?

He probably just gave his staff instructions to tell this jerk to hit the bricks next time he came in for a workout. I’m sure he has better things to do than to personally chase off every douchebag who enters his gym. It’s called delegating authority, and it is a technique used by all successful managers.

I disagree. If you are going to do something like kick someone out of your establishment, especially when membership dues are involved, the manager should do it personally. Call the guy and arrange a meeting if you have to.

This manager was not delegating, he was passing a difficult situation down to subordinate in order to avoid confrontation.

I’m a senior officer in the Marines…I know a little about delegation and management.

Thanks for the tip.

I don’t think every structure is modeled around the US Marines.

I read most of this thread, and I’ve come to the conclusion that there is only one way to settle the dispute:

The owner and the customer will take turns kicking each other in the nuts. The kicking will only stop when one person passes out from pain or exhaustion (no, you can’t fake the pass out).

If the owner wins the contest, you leave and you forfit your membership fees. If you win, you get to use chalk and lift barefoot, but you need to sign a liability wavier.

WTF?!?!?!

How could you watch more than an episode or two of jackass — it’s the same shit over and over again.

The Southpark guys tailor their stuff to current events, debates, etc. and sometimes things end up on their show within a week of being in the news.

I guess that’s a bit too nuanced for someone who enjoys watching idiots hurt themselves over and over and over again.

WTF? I am not saying I agree with this guy but are you there to work out or look pretty?

I hate it when the bars are covered in chalk. If you are wearing black it’s really annoying and disrespectful to get covered in it. [/quote]

I can outlift you and will tell you right to your face…haha, just kidding bro, thats just the reality of the gyms today. Too many people have a say in too many things and most of them are not there to bust their ass and train hard. Sad really.

Walks away, as you can probably tell by now this guy is a grade A douche bag. So sunday past I’m training my PC and I’m deadlifting, I’m not contoling the weight on the way down cause well I’m freaking deadlifting.

You couldn’t have found a better word to describe that douche.

I have a douche bag at my gym also. This bitch talks behind my back saying he can outlift me. Too bad he can’t. He struggles PUSH PRESSING 115lbs! I can strict Military Press 135lbs. I deadlift a lot more than he can. He has the heart to say he can outlift me?
Ok. He can probably curl more than me. I’m sure that’s it?

Anyways. Not to hijack but… All I’m going to say is. Find a gym that suits your needs. I have to put up with the same bullshit at my pussy gym. I just don’t drop the weights, and just don’t use chalk. Lame. [/quote]

I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love…Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I-I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence.

I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake…but I do deny them my essence.[/quote]

YES!
