I almost screwed up today... and got kicked out of my gym. Here's what happened.
My training partner and I had just finished cardio and were doing weighted crunches... ok a lil info about my taining partner.
about 6'2" a lil over 300 lbs he was over 400 and got down to 280 or so then he wanted to start at the gym with me. He i still pretty fat and he knows this and he is very motivated and the best training partner I have ever had.
well i get off the weighted crunch machine and i am standing there while he is doing his set and i notice this girl looking at us while she was running on the treadmill beside her boyfriend and laughing... so i kept looking back up and she was laughing to her boyfriend whenever my buddy was on the crunch machine... so first i thought it was just coincidence and though they could be talking about anything but then i saw her pointing and laughing... this angered me.
So after we are through they are overthere working shoulders on one of the circuit machines which is beside the water fountain... so i raise my voice and say this to my training partner.
" i hate it when people make fun of overweight people at the gym that bust their ass... all they are trying to do is improve themselves and some of them have to work twice as hard to drop their body fat... i seriously hate that bro... in fact i'd like to beat the shit out of people who make fun of others for that..."
I turn right around and look at them and of course they are looking dead on me. The guy comes up to me and says hey man i didn't mean anything by it but you can't just go around saying you want to beat the shit out of people. I retorted by saying... oh really, so you were actually laughing at my buddy... he looked sort of stunned because i duped him into a confession. MY partner responded by saying i laugh at myself on that machine... i am a big fat guy on a crunch machine... well i blow up and say yeah but you have dropped 100 lbs... which is about what this guy weighs... (guy was actually about 5'6" 160 or so) so his GF comes over to put in her 2 cents and says hey my boy is buff... so at this point i was like... geez these 2 are idiots... fuck it not worth it... so i say whatever and smile and turn to walk away... i hear him say "pussy", and his GF said "yup"... ok this kind of got to me...
I immediately turn around and said come here and say that to my face bitch... she starts to come over and i say, " no... i mean the bitch with the crewcut" and point to him.
At this point Our gym manager John comes over and intervenes... to make this already too long of a story short... he says if a punch is thrown we'd both be banned from the gym... eventually i calmed down... but what i want to know...
Was i right or wrong for my actions? Should I have just kept my mouth shut? It could have turned real ugly.

But as a rule of thumb, don't say you're going to smack someone and then don't.
