^^^^^^^ This exactly! This is another type of bully. If you cant contribute in a positive way then why say anything at all....or maybe it just makes them feel better. I guess being the internet people will say whatever they feel like without caring how it could make another person feel.
exactly! i couldn't agree more! so people should stop making up stories that only serve to reinforce negative beliefs about what actually happens in gyms.0 -

Logical fallacy. It is anything but logical.
Your 25 years experience in a gym is meaningless, in regards to the OP. You weren't there. Just because it doesn't fit your logical fallacy premise, that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
okay. i'll just go around believing every far out thing i ever hear, because it *could* happen, no matter how unlikely it sounds and how actual life experiences dictates that it's outside the bounds of normal behavior. seems legit.0 -

I agree, I am very skeptical that this actually happened the way it was described, or at all.
Also, the OP's profile is sketchy itself...no gender, no pic...
Did you ever consider that your logical fallacy thinking is the problem? If not, take some time to consider it.
have you ever considered that you have no idea what you're talking about?

One person being rude to another is not what some wild unimaginable "far out thing." It happens in a lot of places including this forum.
All the OP did was relay that he or she was belittled by another gym member. As far as I know, the OP was not trolling nor does the OP have a history of such.
It is not logical to believe that because such has never happened to you, that such cannot or did not happen to someone else, no matter how many times you want to run the circular logic route.
Your post was illogical because it was based on logical fallacy. That is the ugly truth.0 -

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.
Da hardest part of working out, is actually getting urself there. Keep ur eyes on da prize and disregard any haters. Be proud of urself for working ur way to a healthier life style. Cheers!

Obviously she needed a snickers bar cause she wasn't acting like herself!0

Lol I've seen a (fit) girl tell an unfit girl that she should let ppl that are actually going to put the treadmill to good use use it. (Unfit girl was walking and I guess the other girl wanted to run. This was an apartment gym with two treadmills) so i believe op story. There is plenty of rude ppl in this world.0

If this did happen, that's messed up. I would have said something. If it didn't happen, why lie & say it did?0

I wonder if people might feel less inhibited about that kind of thing in small apartment gyms like that than they would in commercial gyms with more of a public. Home turf, no one around, etc.0 -

Again, this is totally different than the OP's story. The girl wanted to use the treadmill and felt her workout was more important. I can totally believe this happened. Once again, it's not uncommon behaviour, like the other example earlier in the thread at guys giving each other a hard time at the gym. I still am skeptical about the OP.0 -

It's very similar to me. It's the "My workout is more important than yours, why are you taking up space" attitude

I guess we can agree to disagree.0 -

1. She wasn't taking up any of the girl's space. The stronger girl's workout was in no way inhibited by the OP. Well, unless she didn't like that the OP kept staring at her and was bothered by the OP judging her for lifting and looking so manly.
2. Snarking someone is an act of condescension meant to make the other person feel small. People do that all the time. This treadmill incident would still be extremely rare, but belittling is a thing people do. Walking over to another person's space and throwing a dumbbell toward them is an act of pure aggression signaling that you're ready to fight RIGHT NOW. That rarely happens in any arena. It happens even less when the aggressor isn't part of a group. The most likely response is that the person you threw the dumbbell at picks it up and throws it at your head. People just don't initiate that sort of thing on the regular. Not without provocation or past history.0 -

To me, somebody telling me to get off the treadmill so they can workout is actually worse than another dropping a dumbbell and walking away. One person allegedly took off like a little *kitten* while the other continues to invade my space, impatiently asking me to GTFO

Exactly what I was trying to figure out how to say.0 -
After she was done she walked over, DROPPED a huge dumbbell next to me and said "try lifting something real" and walked out.
I can see why other people have questioned your version of events because this is an unusual thing to happen.
You can, however, take comfort from that. 99.9999999% of your trips to a gym over your lifetime will be uneventful and if anything you will experience far more kindness than rudeness. For some reason however the rudeness sticks in our minds for longer.
Simply put *kitten* that *kitten* and the horse she rode in on.
Now go about your day with serenity my sister.
