This I can understand.Bonkme2 said:There are 4 or 5 squat racks set up in a row, each with their own racks for weights. The guy next to me didn't have whatever weight he needed, and decided he had to get it from me.
The examples aren't the same. Someone cutting you off in traffic has the potential to hurt you or someone else, and puts yourself or others in jeopard.Bonkme2 said:anyway, I'm still with FknKnuckleHd. I'm very aware of guys doing sets around me. Even though 20 ft sounds like alot, the guy could have stood 5 feet to the left or right. And it's easy to say that he *could* have been more polite.
So next time someone cuts you off in traffic, pull up next to the guy and say, "Excuse me sir, could you watch where you're going next time?" instead of flipping him off and shouting "asshole!" out the window.
Or the next telemarketer that calls say, "Could you call me back after dinner so we can discuss this further?" instead of just rudely hanging up.
This sterotype has more to do with bullies in life and the gym. As I'm sure you've seen or expereinced yourself, as one gains size and confidence in the gym, the tendency is to belittle, bully and just be rude or obnoxious to those around you who aren't as large or developed. Hell you can see enough evidence of that in a significant number of these threads. Someone juicing may or may not aggravate the situation. I'm no different when I'm on or off the juice. When I'm in the gym I'm focused on what I'm doing an how I'm doing it and have likely gotten in someone's way or view without even noticign I've done so. Most of the time it's easy enough to see who's using what mirrors based on where they equipment is. But 20ft? I'd not even give it a second thought.Bonkme2 said:Right away this is because he's a juicer and he's furthuring the stereotype. When in fact, it was important enough for the other guy to stand right in front of the mirror, but not important enough for him to notice if anyone else was. I just think that's stupid. And with all the stupidity we deal with from day to day in life, sometimes someone gets an earful.
Nah, I'm sure there are more.Bonkme2 said:I guess I shouldn't say that. From the sound of it, none of you guys ever release some anger on some bullwinkle in your lives. I guess that makes me the asshole of the board.

In my gym, a guy who you would consider small was talking to a woman. Turns out she was the g/f of a huge guy. Big guy start yelling/cursing. Little guy appologizes. G/f tries to calm him down saying little guy did nothing wrong. Little guy walks away, big guy smacks him on the head. Little guy turns and drops the big guy. The only thing his size did was make him look good going down and making a loud thump. Little guy was a professional boxer. Bet the big guy would have liked that info. Never saw big guy again.
