Have You Ever Met A Stranger Who Obviously Fucking Hated You?

Back when I went to a public gym, I gave up with the people who'd abandon weights or leave massive sweat stains on seats. There's no payoff in asking people to be good citizens, and it was easier and faster for me to return stuff / wipe seats down, rather than go and whine to the staff. The kind of people who camp out on single pieces of equipment and want to do 8 sets of something didn't even merit a head shake from me after awhile; I'd just change my routine and come back after cardio or something. Now, with a home gym, the only person I can complain about, is me.

I’m overly polite at the gym. Not the tough guy at all. I walk behind (not in front) of people lifting in the dumbbell area. Always move out of the way if someone is walking towards me. Always rack my weights and clean my benches (obviously) etc etc

I’m very aware of my surroundings at all times and have no problem accommodating others who are much more oblivious.

Most people do. I'd say maybe 10-15% don't. Perhaps it's different for higher end gyms; I used crap places like Gold's and Planet Fitness because I'm cheap and didn't want to have access to spin classes or whatever..

I can't even conceive of these people who set up their cameras to record 'their form' and then get pissy with people for walking into their shot. It always amazed me the number of people who would go to the gym, and then not actually do much when there; even the old fart lifting 8 lb weights or walking on 100% flat ground is doing more than the jerk who just sits on a bench for 40 mins after a single set and checks his phone. Either way, I was never going to say anything to anyone.

Y'all were spoiled ... we learned to do every kind of "press" or "up" while on a Naugahyde slip and slide.

The grand dragon kicked me out of their club because I kept playing Wu-Tang Clan at the meetings.

Maybe he was just a Bears fan.

That's very possible, but his stonewalling me wouldn't be because I'm a Packers fan. Maybe a Brewers fan; I was wearing my Brewers cap at the time. Unless you're a Dodgers fan, no one is THAT dickish about baseball.

No offence, but are you new here?

Oh, and yesterday I was at the Bucks game. They played Philly. I saw one 76ers fan there and he was harrassing the Bucks mascot.
 
RP-29 said:
Yeah, as soon as I submitted that post I thought "I should've probably added Philly to that list; Philly fans are dickish about everything."

And no, I've never been to Philly. ...because I don't want to.

I’ve been to Philly. I found both Philly and Chicago to be worse than Detroit. Lots of trash in the streets just being blown around everywhere. In Philly it was caked up against the curbs everywhere and under peoples cars who parked on the street like they never cleaned the city.

Th outskirts of Detroit are obv scary AF but downtown is clean as hell.

I've been to DET and CHI plenty. DET is worse for run-down & abandoned buildings. Otherwise, yeah, CHI sucks worse.

The good news is we burn more and more of those down every year on Devil’s Night.

I had a co-worker once openly attempt to sabotage a relationship with a girl at work. Like, he hated me so much he told me he was going to do it then did it.

In his defense, he (correctly) accused me ofI hiding gyros in his desk, embarrassing and frustrating him for months, but he had no proof it was me.

hid gyros in his desk?? hell, sounds like you were doing him a favor. I'd love if a co-worker was leaving gyros in my desk.

Hiding being the key word. Took him weeks to locate the odor and find them. Meanwhile everyone in the office just thought he reeked (which he did but because of the rotting gyros hidden in the depths of his drawers).

years ago, i hid some uneaten boiled eggs in a friend's bedroom closet. he didn't find them for almost a month, his room and most of the upstairs hallway stunk to hell and he couldn't figure out why lol. as soon as he DID find them, he immediately knew it was me (we were always doing shit like that to one another) and he immediately called me, cussing me good before i could even say "hello", hahaha. I'd honestly forgotten about it by that point, I assumed he'd find them pretty quickly. .

Yeah, I've had people not like me for unknown reasons. I'm guessing that usually it's because I'm such a cool cat, they're likely jealous. I can usually win them over somehow, like setting up a deadly trap for them, and then saving them from it at the last minute.

Well I for one, have always let you know the reasons I don't like you.

Can't think of any at the moment. But when I do, I'll be sure to let you know.

I have never had that problem. I know good damn well why they don't like me. And they can still piss off and their good judge of character with them ... I can't fault them for being right.

There is a guy at my gym who obviously fucking hates me. Watches me a lot, doesn’t move if we happen to be walking towards each other. Throws his weights around if I’m anywhere near him, making a big scene.

Never talked to this guy or interacted w him other than recently asking him if he was using the dip bar. He looks all pissed and says “Yeah!” so naturally I ask how many sets left and he says “Five!” so I say “Oh, wow. Okay.” and walk away.

Yesterday he’s in the same area where the dip bar is, and I start using it. He starts throwing shit around, slamming weighs and making noise to illustrate his unhinged hatred for me.

Big fat fuck too.

Not the first time a gym member has hated my guts but the incident was another lifetime ago over 20 years ago. So I don’t think it’s me.

Has your sheer presence ever irritated a stranger who just seems to hate your guts for no reason?

I meet thousands of them on I-35 every day.
