Are you KIDDING me???....

So this morning at the gym I'm on the elliptical doing my normal 5 min. warm up before I lift. Nothing out of the ordinary. Then, someone taps me on the shoulder. I take out my headphones and turn around to see who it is and what they want. Two older women are standing behind me, and one says "Would you mind going to another machine please? This is my elliptical." :noway: WHAT?.....Okay, I've seen these two women here before, they're ALWAYS side by side on the ellipticals yacking away as they work out-- whatever, go for it. But there were about 7 other ellipticals open, all of which were side by side. But apparently I was on HER machine. I must have missed the name tag somewhere........? I said "I only have about 2 more minutes then you can have it, I'm just doing a warm-up." That wasn't good enough apparently, so she answered "Well I'm on a tight schedule every morning, I have 30 minutes to work out, I have to be at work today." I didn't care to answer...............So they both stood there and actually waited until I was done and got on THAT machine and said to her friend "Well looks like I won't be getting my FULL 30 minutes this morning."

The stupidity of the people in this world never stops amazing me.

This isn't the first time you've complained about your gym.


May I make a suggestion? Find a new one.

Yep, she was rude. I probably would have ignored her.

I would have extended my 5 minute warm up to a 29 minute work out.

LOl wow... I had a guy do that with weights. He wasn't using the machine so I jumped on. He said I was using that and I said you weren't on it when I got here. His friends laughed since I was not going to back down. I stayed and finished by the end of my workout he was trying to be really friendly with me. He even offered to show me how to use different machines. Ummmm no thanks I know how to use them was my reply.

I thought about it for a few seconds. But I despise ellipticals for anything other than a warm-up. If it was a treadmill, I totally would've.

what a jerk. i'd just tell her there are other machines and she can either find another one or wait the 2 minutes and have her workout cut short, her choice. or give her the bird and then say "there are 7 other machines, deal with it"

You know what. Eff that. I would have gotten a sharpie from the front desk, and written MY name on the damn thing.

d2footballJRC

You should of then pulled your phone out and continued to use it for 30 minutes...I would use that elliptical every day to warm up as well.

Cliffslosinit

The passive-aggressive does not look good on you.

Be a ***** and stay on longer or say something to her directly.

No just hold it in and run to MFP and complain.:sad:

Moral of the story?
Stand up for yourself!!
No one should be bullied.

I definitely would have stayed on the machine. It would have been worth it to prove the point.
