Wasn't in a good mood last week (Monday, what else), and was planning to wrap up International Chest Day with 3-4 sets of cable flys. Am pretty exhausted so I head to the cable machine and watch this guy work his way through 2 sets while I rest for 5-7 minutes.

Am ready to start, so..

Me: Hey man, how many sets do you have left?
Him: Er, gimme 10 minutes lah.
Me : Ookaaay. How many SETS do you have left?
Him : Just gimme 10 minutes can anot?
Me: 10 minutes ah. So long. Can we just take turns then instead?
Him : *looks at me like I said something offensive to his mum* Erh no. *ignores me and goes back to his set*
Me : *turns into an ******** WHAT?! You don't SHARE AND TAKE TURNS?! *super surprised tone*
Him : NO.
Me : f***ing *******. *walks off*
Him : ^&$!@*&#$*!@#(!@^#(!^#*(!@#( RUDE!

Was I wrong Would have turned around and probably punched his face in, but he's about 45 and greying hair. Something told me to just not continue the argument.

I'm just shocked that the idiot wouldn't allow me to jump in in between sets, as if he's gonna be using it for 10 full minutes non-stop. That I wouldn't mind watching, honestly.

No no, you've misunderstood me. I didn't say he was breaking any rules by not sharing.

I just think he was being a pretty massive prick to me. I'm a paying customer, he has no exclusivity there. I don't care if noone's waiting, he can spend 3 hours doing his cable curls, ab crunches and what not. But, what is lacking here is just some common courtesy, which his parents failed to educate him in, I expect. Poor guy.

I hate people staring too. But sometimes I stare too Whenever someone has 225lbs on a bench. I watch to see if his spotter is getting a trap workout. Usually he is. But I just check to see who's for real and who's just for show.
