    Thanks for all the replies! I ignored her, but the steps are right next to a weight circuit i do so I was on her tail the whole time around the circuit. it made me feel good that every time i sat down on a machine after her I saw she was at least 10lbs+ under what I can lift. WHO'S THE P*SSY NOW! :)

    Next time get in front of her. Or mention to someone (so she can hear) that you don't go for speed, you go for strength. I am much slower on the elliptical at the gym than most the other gals, but I have it cranked up really high resistance.

    "wow, i would really like to call you out on what you just said, but i don't fight against ugly people because they've got nothing to lose..."

    and that's what i would have said silently to myself

    I'm not sure where to post this so. Yesterday at the gym these two girls were working out on the aerobic steps. one girl says to another while explaining a step "you can do it this way, or you can do it the p*ssy way like that" and then points at me. It took everything in my body not to walk over and deck her. How do I handle a situation like that?

    I vote for walking over her and decking her.

    Next time you go to that gym, take along a beautifully wrapped gift box containing some Midol and a anger management therapist business card. :)

    I would just have said "I can hear you, you know." and walked off. I think there are better comebacks, but that's what would have come to me in the spur of the moment. Sometimes people just need their rudeness pointing out to them.

    Exactly. Maybe she said it because she didn't think you'd say anything back. Nothing like calling someone out.

    That really burns me. I mean what if you were working out at a reduced level because you had an injury, or for some other valid reason? I have bad knee that is permanently damaged, and that limits me sometimes. I would hate to have someone say something snarky like that to me. Your body is your body, and you should be able to work out how you want without others judging you for it.

    I'd rather be a pus*y than a stupid cu*t.

    Fill in the *

    Seriously, what is wrong with people? I am sorry that you had to deal with that.

    Why stoop to her level? It wouldn't make you any better than she is. Glad you took the high road.

    That's pretty ridiculous. I'm glad I've never had to deal with an idiot like that. I'd probably laugh at them, tell them they are pathetic and continue on my work out.

    "But doing it that way (point to the other girl) obviously makes you a raging b*tch."

    That response is FUNNY. If you could be that quick witted, and say it with a laugh - perfect.
    Maybe even better that you stayed on her tail the whole time without knowing what you were thinking. Good job on the workout!

    The unknown causes the most fear. :) You're wicked in a cool way. :drinker:

    I would smile, wave, and keep on going. :) It is impossible to fight with someone who is ignorant, which she has already proven to be!!!

    THIS. When you genuinely laugh it off, she looks like a b*tch and you look like a queen. Bullies tend not to bully people who refuse to be cowed. But fighting a girl bully directly doesn't always get you what you want.

    oh my gosh! what a b#%^! I think you did the right thing. If you cussed her off that could have turned into an uncomfortable situation. Use that negativeity to fuel your workouts!
