Ok so I was at the gym yesterday and was on the bench press and a guy next to me just burps..... well the girl in the area said that she was so offended she actually went up to the front counter to complain. I mean really??? Its not like he went right into her face and let'er rip. He even said excuse me and she still had her panties up her butt.... So I ask this... Would any other female out there get offended by this action in this same manner? What other actions do us guys do in the gym that offend?

    Bogus.
  • It wouldnt bother me. I'd return the favor by burping even louder.


    Guess that woman was a little classier than I am.

    Reason number 36 being a guy is better: Society expects us to burp.

    Here's the thing I hate.. when the guy next to me is sneezing and coughing.. I just move.. and think, "Dang.. go home if you're sick."
    I have to admit as a human being.. sometimes stuff moves around and gas escapes when lifting or running.. You just have to find a way to be discrete and look at the person next to you as though it was their fault..
  • No id give him a burp off
    but i hate ; Dripping ur sweat all over the equipment and not wiping down. Faux pas number one.
    Also being 60 year old man and looking at my bum!

    I must admit, I would have shot a dirty look.. but that's because I'm a teachers aid, and am constantly chastising my kids about burping in public places.

    Would I have gone and complained to management? No.

    Please! If she's that offended by a burp, maybe she should workout in the privacy of her own home... I've seen/heard a lot worse in the gym but no one is intentionally being offensive!

    Also being 60 year old man and looking at my bum , in the mirror blatantly. Not cool!

    Whats the age requirement for looking at your bum?

    I might be disgusted if it were intentional with an insincere "excuse me", but I would not complain. There are bigger things in life that I can complain about...

    Ha, this makes me think of all the girls that fart on the elliptical. That's way worse than a burp.

    I kinda want to know what the management thought when they heard this.

    Only time I've been offended was I'm pretty sure a guy sh** himself squatting in the squat rack once.. He was squatting.. then he dropped the weight off and busted towards the locker room as this smelled filled the area.. The whole area stunk so bad forever

    I burp in the gym all the time... no biggie, so I am not offended if a guy does it. Geez, she must not spend much time at the gym if a burp offends her

    Honestly I'd laugh.

    But I have the sense of humor of a teenager some days.

    OMG!!! I once saw a man get off the Cybex, sweat still running down the hand grips, and he went off on his merry way!!! WTH was that!!! So now I am obsessed with wiping down the Cybex before and after I use it. Never know if the empty one is the one his sweaty, nasty, unsanitary *kitten* just got off...LOL
