Thread: Am I the asshole here?

No this happens to me frequently. I workout on Sundays same time as this lady that does the same shit except to make it worse she also hops on the treadmill and runs for 5 minutes on the treadmill at the end of each superset. I workout at a small gym with only one squat rack and she uses it for curls as part of her superset. Despite the fact that she could use the preloaded barbells they have because she isn't going that heavy. It aggrevates the shit out of me.

Bro, everyone pays gym fees so the equipment is for sharing. I am a dick, especially on Tren. I would have told him I'm working in whether he liked it or not. If I was late for something he may have even got a glute workout with my boot in his ass.

Go knock her lights out

Fck tht guy ur in the right 100% shit in his gym bag.send him home with a surprise

Wow wasn't expecting so many responses. It seems for the most part I wasn't completely an asshole but could have handled it a bit better. I only asked you guys because I know we all have had this issue and you guys would give it to me straight. Plus I actually felt kind of bad after.

Perhaps next time I will:
-Actually make it verbally known that I'm waiting for the machine rather than imply with eye rolls, huffing and puffing, and staring through the mirror.
-Ask if I can jump in instead of waiting for 20 mins and expecting a miracle.
-Consider breaking my routine and using a different machine (yuck)
-Take a shit in his gym bag

Thanks for the input everyone.

Nope you are fine, I have had the same thing and told the guy to "Pick one" I am sometimes the only one in my gym and superset and at some point someone always show up so I take off my headphone and tell them "Hey I am in a few places so just grab what ever you need"

No reason to occupy more then one piece of equipment at a time unless your rotating sets with a bro, or your the only person there, fuck em

I think you were rite, if he was a decent human he would of asked you if you want to work in with him. Something like aye I'm kind of doing a circuit thing but you more than welcome to work in no worries. But people are assholes, and only see there own agenda. You were more polite about it than I would have been.

Honestly dude, you HAVE every right to remove his towel if he walks off and starts working on a machine. If he comes back and asks why you removed his towel, just say, "Sorry bro, I thought you walked off and forgot your towel since I seen you started working out on that other machine. But if you don't mind, let's work out together so we can be both efficient and kick some ass this morning.." Something cheesy to put him off, but if he came back with attitude, tell him after you tell him the first part, you either are working out on this machine or that, or we're both working out together. Can't have it both ways. And just continue repping. We have so many of these pricks in our gym, whether it's female or male, mostly male, that superset and leave their bags at one machine while working on the other. Sorry, that's just poor etiquette. I'll usually ask them politely, "are you still working out here?" then proceed to ask how many sets you got left and wait impatiently around the machine or ask to work in. If they give attitude then I'll give it back. Douches gonna douche.
