Got snarked at the gym today

I lifted today! That's the good part. A few other people were in the gym, including one girl who was lifting much heavier than I was- I'm using fairly small weights because I haven't lifted forever and I'm only a few weeks into doing it again- I'd rather be safe and build up to where I was than hurt myself.
After she was done she walked over, DROPPED a huge dumbbell next to me and said "try lifting something real" and walked out. I just kept lifting (I was in the middle of a set) and didn't respond... just kind of can't believe some people are actually like that. I'm still glad I lifted today, but with all the other stress in my life I really didn't need that during my workout.

Wow. Just wow. Whatever that woman's issues are, they are hers, not yours. You keep doing what you're doing.0

She sounds like a nasty piece of work - better forgotten and ignored.
Gratz on your lift0 -
You're not supposed to drop the weights! If she does it again, call her out on it. XD If she's going to try and be a snarky *kitten*, just be a smartass back at her. You're fine with what you're doing, and if she has a problem with it, so be it.0

Good for you getting back to the gym.I respect you for hanging in there after that.0

First, she earned a VIP spot in hell for that act. Yes, I said it! You do not deserve to be treated that way at gym or anywhere else. You don't need to explain yourself to her or anybody. You just keep on doing whatever you need to do to be healthy. I don't lift heavy weights myself. I go for 3 reps using low, slightly heavier, low so I am challenging my muscles without injury. Slow and consistent progress wins every time in fitness. Stay strong!0

25 years of spending tons of time in gyms and I've yet to see anything like this occur on any level. Add me to the list of people that doubt this really happened.0

i was just going to say the same...
i've belonged to a lot of gyms on and off over the years and I've never seen anything like this occur.
If in fact this did happen, you should have reported it to management.0 -

So you're saying it's not just me?0 -
It sucks that that happened to you
Just keep doing what you're doing and don't let this discourage you from hitting the gym. Remember that workout time is you time and that nobody can take that away from you if you don't let them.0 -

^Have to agree with the above. It's a bit...hmmmm.
If (and a huge if at that) this was all true and if it were to happen again, you should report that.

Wow, really people? Just because it's never happened to you CLEARLY means it has never happened to someone else.
