Dirty old man at the gym

So I see this old man at the gym. He is overweight, wearing khakis and suspenders, and walking with a cane. I think to myself, good for him. Until I get on the angled leg curl machine. The equipment in my gym is super close together, so when people walk by, you have to pull your legs in, or they don't have room to walk by. So I have 90 lbs on the machine, which is a lot for me. The old man goes to walk by, so I pull my legs in and hold them in. He stops directly in front of me. I tell him he has to move, cause I can't hold this weight in any longer and I will kick him. So he slowly shuffles over. I release the weights, finally, and the dirty old man reaches down, tickles my feet, and says "gitchee gitchee goo." Seriously???? Wtf!! I told him he best get his hands off me quick!

What creepy people have you run into in the gym??

    You should mention that to the staff.

    I havent had anyone dodgy approach me but there have been a couple of people that have been removed from the premises.

    If something like that happened to me, I would report that guy to whoever runs the gym.

    A guy once walked up to me while I was on the treadmill and said "Thanks for the show. I loved watching you walk in those pants". He was on the treadmill behind me and obviously stared at my butt for 20 minutes.

    A man from his generation most likely thought he was being friendly. But I know my dad (who is 92) would never do something like that to a stranger! What he did was wrong. It crossed boundaries, and I am so glad you told him to back off. If you see him there again, you might want to point him out to the staff and give them a heads-up that he likes to play "gitchee-goo" with the young girls. That may keep further trouble from happening to another woman - someone who may not have the voice to speak up like you did.

    I feel like old guys that are perverts act the way they do cuz everybody gives them a pass cuz they're old. My grandfather was a super creepster and nobody ever called him out on his yucky behavior. They should've though,

    Yep. If he was 40 years old, or 30, or 20, he'd never try that crap.

    the dude in your OP is probably the same guy that stands in front of the damn dryer in the locker room to make sure that his junk is, well, dry. Those dudes are super creeps.

    Sometimes older people might not think they are being creepy and thought he was just treating you like a youngster! I kind of have this internal detector thing where I can tell when someone is actually trying to be a creep and when someone just doesn't know better and does not mean it in that way XD

    In commercial gyms, old men drying themselves in the locker room, in the middle of the route between showers/toilets and main room, one foot on a central seating section, taking at least 15-20 mins to dry each ball.

    Why? Really, why?

    Interesting. In my gym almost all the old guys are flirting with whomever they can and/or will give them the time of day. It is sad.

    Hahaha, you wouldn't believe that stuff that happens in the female locker room.

    One time at my gym, I just got out of the shower and was walking back to my locker when I saw this older lady (maybe like 55-60) with one leg propped on the bench and a handheld mirror in her hand, plucking away at her vajayjay. I was permanently scarred.
