I shouldn't be the one to talk. I'm not confrontational at all. It's one thing that I can't stand about myself. But, I can never really get mad enough.

What's that? | |

I think even more obnoxious than the fan issue was his need to work out right next to you.
There wouldn't even be a need for compromise if he'd just MOVED THE FUCK DOWN! | |

Anx said: "Oh, well," the guy said, "I get a cold when I'm near fans. Sorry."
I'm sorry but if someone is so fragile that they're getting sick from blowing wind, then you shouldn't have too worry too much longer because now that he's been outside his big plastic bubble he's bound to keel over and die before you know it. The reality of the situation is that it was entirely unfair for him to just come in and switch it off. I suppose rather than be nice and risk getting a rude response back he decided to be rude first and save time. To hell with it. Direct confrontations rarely work and somehow the nice guy always gets the wrong end of the stick - complaining to the manager won't win you friends but it will probably allow you to keep the fan on. 
Of course, since he's playing the sickness card, you could just up it one "Yeah, and if I get too hot I'll have a stroke. neener neener" and turn the fan back on. | |

What's that? it's a contest where people take a shower on a little stage and everyone watches and then the showerers are judged and the winner gets money. | |

It's like when you're in a bathroom with like 12 empty urinals in a row and you pick the far left one to allow for choices and proper spacing for any potential future pissers, and the next guy in HAS to pick the one right next to you. Hate that! Wouldn't wanna date that!  | |

Anx said: So I'm at the gym doing my little cardio thing yesterday, and I did what I always do when the gym's empty, and turned on the big stand fan and pointed at me while I was working out.
Right in the middle of it, some schmoe walks in, casually switches off the fan, and starts doing cardio right next to me. I noticed this guy as someone who's done this to me before, but the climate was temperate enough that it was much easier to just let it go. But not this time. "Actually, I just turned that fan on," I said as non-threateningly/casually as I could (maybe too much so). "Oh, well," the guy said, "I get a cold when I'm near fans. Sorry." To which I said, somewhat defeatedly "It's 101 degrees outside." "Yeah," Schmoe said. "That's pretty hot. Sorry." So I stomped off the exercise machine and did the rest of my gym stuff, which actually went super well because I was all pissed off and aggro. But what's the etiquette in this situation? If I were the schmoe, I would have a) Waited until I was done; or b) Asked if I needed the fan before just turning it off. Absent this man's ability to be considerate, I've decided that next time he does this, I will simply turn the fan back on. If he protests, I'll remind him that we did it his way last time, now it's my turn to have the fan. Next time he can turn it off again. We'll take turns. I'm fine with that. What would you do in this situation? Why do people treat public spaces like their living rooms? How can I learn not to get riled by people who have entitlement issues? Why do people want me to get swampy? Man, at least he came up with an explanation for what he did. I was drying my hair with one of those gym blowdryers a couple of weeks ago. I put it down for a second and wanted to continue blowdrying my hair when all of a sudden this butt naked ugly little dude comes right next to me ( he usually smells a bit sweaty, you know , that nasty kind of body odor...real sour and shit) and he was dripping wet, fresh out the shower, takes the blowdryer without even asking me if I´m finished and starts blowdrying his whole body, inclluding his dick and his balls. This was right behind the door to the locker room, for all to see from the outside. Dude didn´t want to use a towel even though he had one with him. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

Ok so I go to the gym last night....all that banter on P&R got me riled up and I had to go get my buff on.....so I'm doing my thing and in walks this ho-cake in a cut off (right under her tits) shirt....with no support...some cutesy little boy shorts, complete with requisite booty cheeks hangin out....and no undies...
..the only reason I know she didn't have anything on underneath is that her nips were poking out when she was working on the pulldown machine...  ..with 10 lbs.....
...and the no panties part was revealed on the hip abductor machine....all in the mirror for all to partake the view.... 
...am I wrong for thinking that she was wrong for that shit? I mean, don't get me wrong she wore it pretty well....but does the fact that she barely lifted any amount of weight and spent the majority of her time prancing around (I was there for a bit over an hour and I left before her) make this an etiquette violation?

that wouldn't fly at my gym. we get kids coming in all the time for classes and whatnot. they'd tell her to cover her shame. | |

Yeah, why don't more people ASK before they mess with the room/area temp? Is that so weird? I mean, it truly wouldn't occur to me to change something like that without asking, unless I was by myself, but some peeps in Spinning class would do that a lot.
People in my work environment do it, too. We have two thermostats in our area, and this woman is sticks and bones and always is too cold and cranks the heat up in the winter and turns the air down in the summer. It's like Covert Thermostat War in the office sometimes. | |

[Edited 7/18/06 13:03pm] I thought the same thing.....wholeheartedly!! What I didn't really consider was if she was a troop as well....if I had, trust me, I would have jacked her ass up and asked her if she was out of her military mind.....Full Metal Jacket/Drill Instructor style... 
I used to be an equal opportunity rep....and I've given so many sexual harrassment/assault classes that it pisses me off to see stuff like that....

i so hate my local gym. especially the people who will come sit next to you while you're still on the machines. if the next machine in my routine is taken i will simply go to the next one after that and come back a bit later. but most people seem to have all the time in the world to just follow you around for your entire gymtime sitting next to you and watching you intently with a slightly chilling disdain as if you do all the movements wrong and are just generally shit.
one guy who kept doing this finally spoke after he'd been in my face for 20 minutes and said "so you don't look like you've been in a gym all that much. why are you here?"
so i just looked at him sheepishly and said "yeah well, i need just enough muscle to be able to cut open a live chicken, drag out it's bowels and curse people who bother me. so there's not really any need for me to be in here all day every day since a little bit of muscle goes a long way in voodoo".
now no one speaks to me anymore and i can just go in listening to my mp3 player    Go Isten, Go Isten!! | |

You're not wrong for your feelings. Perhaps she gets off on being an exhibitionist, but she's forcing it on you and the other gym members. I'da reported her to the supervisor/manager | |

Oh yeah, we have those DIVAS that go to the gym with full makeup and nails. They don't really get in my way but they are kinda annoying. Most of them just walk around and talk to guys.....oh wait. I do that.

There wouldn't even be a need for compromise if he'd just MOVED THE FUCK DOWN! ew, i hate that. there are five damn machines in a row and i was the ONLY one there. CREEPY. That's easy then - just tell him to move down. Either that or say "I'll be done in a minute, you can turn it off then". Gym ettiquette pisses me off all the time - fucknuts not wiping their secretions off the machines get a tap on the shoulder and a reminder that there are paper towel dispensers. Shit - anyone going to the gym without a towel should not be allowed to workout imo. Muppets who insist on sitting on the machine in between sets and their rest periods end up being 5 minutes get the "can I work through?" request. (Bear in mind that my gym is tiny with only one of each type of resistance machine.) I want to be in and out of the gym as quickly as I can - I take care of my cardio at home so 45 minutes maximum and I'm gone. I don't want to be pissing around waiting for the dicks who insist on tieing up the only lat machine for 10 minutes. On arm day I have a pretty intensive triceps routine that uses the pulldown machine in different ways. As I use dropsets I can be at that station for 10-15 minutes easily, resting 45-60 seconds between sets. However, in between each set I move off to the side so anyone with the slightest bit of common sense can work during my rest. Every gym should have a set of ettiquette regs posted at every fucking station for the selfish and hard of thinking. All orgnotes and emails requesting trades or how to acquire bootleggage will be ignored. - The ThreadKiller - | |
