There's a judge, several lawyers, a banker, a major car dealership owner, & a pro hockey player that go to my gym. I've never seen any of them have any problems.
That's supposed to be funny right....?? I would have given the cleaning crew a rest....and used your partners grill to clean the rest of the shitters...
Your training partner is a fuggin' tool, and desperately needs his attitude adjusted.
Mark my words...one day he's gonna pull that shit on the wrong person, then spend the next few days in traction wondering how he got his ass handed to him so badly.
Reading that the only one who comes off sounding like a total douche is your training partner. Excellent way to push the roid ragin' meathead stereotype.
I missed where the old, fat, bald guy thought he was special. Sounds like he was just working out and was verbally attacked by your buddy on a power trip. Does the type of car he drives immediately mean that he thinks he's better then you? That makes LOTS of sense.
To be fair when I'm in the gym the 'chairman of the board' type gets on my fuckin nerves as much as mr Abercrombie or the MILFs who decide to do step aerobics in the rack.. but really, your partner is a giant douche*
If you talk shit like that at my gym you are gone! They ban you for life.
Having big guys at a gym is actually a hinderance to the bottom line. Average Joe and Jane are intimidated by them. The less they see of them the better. Gyms make their money off average people not bodybuilders.
That said. I would have just said "Do you mind if we work in?"
If the guy said "yes" I would have said something like "It was a real pleasure seeing you here today. I look forward to seeing you again" real sarcastic.
Thats it. People get the point.
I go out of my way to be nice at the gym. I am self employed. Networking makes me money!
