So I go to the gym today. Waited to go until mid afternoon cause the gym is usually empty on Friday nights. Got there and there was like 4 people in there. Plenty of room for everyone to keep to themselves.

So even though there was hardly anyone in there I took a flat bench over to the corner away from everyone, grab the easy bar and start throwing on 4 - 25’s for skull crushers.

So as Im loading the bar this dude comes over right up against me and starts setting up to do deads. I said oh I’m sorry bro I didn’t realize you were gonna suddenly need this spot. He said something about the extra padding right there for deadlifts so he needed it. Even though dude was working at 4 different stations at the time he did have a point so I nicely started to slide my bench over like 5 ft. Well I had forgot to put on the collars and the bar tipped and all the weights fell off.

I took it well right up until I look over and dude was motherfucking me under his breathe as I’m picking up the plates. That was it. I walked up to the dude and just when I was getting ready to 1-2 his ass I had this weird moment and I just let him slide.

I just told him to be careful with the attitude cause one of these days he’s gonna run into someone that will hurt him real bad. lol

Dude was my weight and height but it wouldn’t have been a fair fight so that had a little to do with ime not lighting him up. Cameras too. Lol

Still he has no idea how close he came to waking up in some ER somewhere. Fucking turds don’t understand Im retired, I have no purpose in life, and I’m scared shitless about it. It’s really really hard for me not to go backwards like this.

Now all I can think about is hunting the asshole down and get him to play a game of knuckles and skulls. I won’t but man I fucking want to.
 
There’s times I think about using a real gym, try out those different machines or whatever they call them, but then I remember, people. Glad you didn’t get I a jam with the law.
 
You can always try planet fitness I hear they have a no judgement zone.

All jokes aside cool heads always prevail. No one is worth catching a charge. I think you made a good call.
 
That guy clearly had a personality disorder. Any normal person would have lent you a hand instead of muttering obscenities over a small accident.

Judging from his attitude, he probably has a lot of interpersonal issues in his life. He’s doing a good enough job fucking himself over, I guarantee — either a resentful wife, baleful kids or a boss on his last straw, or all the above.

The way I see it, people being rude is really more their problem than my problem…

The whole “situation” was super low key and I made sure I didn’t make a scene. I was actually pretty calm cool and collected for once. Probably wasn’t even worth me posting but I did it just to show how retarded and disrespectful people are these days.

Seems stupid but I wish I would have taken pics to show how “out of his way” this dude went to set up literally a ft away from where I was setting up already.

Dude was using multiple stations at once so I had no idea he wanted to suddenly do deadlifts. Honestly all he would have had to do is say excuse me do you mind if I work out there since I’m doing deadlifts. I would have immediately apologized (for nothing) and said of course you can.

wtf ever happened to being respectful and polite? In hindsight I should have taught him a lesson since he was probably in his mid 20’s but fuck it. Let him learn by having someone else turn his lights off.

I’m still chomping at the bit to find his ass and beat him like a rented mule this morning but I’m sparring later today. I’ll just pretend to KO him in practice. Fucker is in my head and Incant get him out of it. Lol

I learned one thing these past few years. Trying to be a good person is legit gay sometimes. It’s also boring as fuck. Assholes deserve a beating sometimes.

I don’t think the bible covered this kinda stuff directly. Does God forgive dudes for beating the shit out of assholes as long as they deserve it? Ain’t no way I’m confessing my sins to some dude in a box so is there another way I can get away with it? That’s not even a sin right? Seems like there’s a grey area to me. Lol
 
The best way that I ever heard it said, "Yesterday I was smart and I tried to change the world, but today I was wise so I decided to change myself."

If I go around beating up every asshole I encounter, then I wont have time to do the things that matter in my life like being a father and teaching my kid how to navigate in a world of assholes. There are more assholes than I have the strength to deal with.

I can only recall a couple times in my life where I was so enraged I didn’t ultimately think about potential lockup before acting on that rage. I don’t think I’ve ever been scared for my life to the point I had to fight my way out but I’ve mostly avoided places where that commonly happens.

At the end of the day, these wrists ain’t made for cuffs. And I need more space than a 5’x9”. So I play by the rules a lot of the time.

Even if I was a brawler, now mid 40s I know better. For the simple fact I’m gonna be useless for at least a week after a fight lol. And my bones and joints would cry out all the way down to the marrow! Too old to go hard in the paint these days for anything except protecting others or fighting for survival.
 
You made the right call, dude's got his own problems, don't turn them into your problems. This is also one of the many reasons I work out at home or outdoors somewhere. I love people in general but everything in moderation and working out is a personal thing for me.
 
The definition of stress: When the mind overrides the bodies basic instinct to beat the shit out of some asshole that desperately needs it.

I'm glad good judgment got the better of you. 👍

Lol I don't think it's in there directly. What IS in there is one of my my bigger struggle too. Can we not just give people what they deserve some times?

I think the bigger message is He doesn't give us what we deserve so we should do the same.

If it becomes a problem, tell the guy, firmly, that he is using enough equipment and if would help you move your stuff, go for it. But you're not just going to up and move so he can take up his 5th station. No where in the Bible that I've come across does it forbid correcting rude behavior

It’s funny now that I’ve read the Bible twice (OK I cheated reading a little) and now it’s almost like a rule book. lol

It kinda reminds me of WADA’s list of banned substances . The rule list is just as long and ain’t no way I’m remembering them all. Lol

Kinda mostly just using common sense and having a solid base of morals. I’m good with the moral part. Not so much with the common sense thing sometimes. Lol

That was the old testament brother. We proved we couldn't follow it many times lol

That's why we needed Jesus. Because we still aren't going to get it right all of the time, but as long as we're legitimately trying I think we're ok
