Jerk in the Gym
This jerk in the gym was once making some 14-year-old kids feel bad, telling them to put some “man weights” on the bar and stop lifting light, things like that. Every time they found a new workout, he comes and repeats the process, trying to embarrass them.
I was annoyed but tired, and let it slide….the first time it happened. Only it happened again.. The same kids came in two days later, and he was there also. He starts doing exactly what he did before. Well, that was it.
I walked up right next to him, doubled what he was lifting, and repeated everything he had said to the kids in the last five minutes all while staring at him right in his stupid face.
He quickly moved on and went to another exercise. But I wasn’t done yet. The kids were looking at me like I was Batman. I followed the guy to the next three exercises and did as he had done, saying the same things.
Then he left. Never saw him at the gym again, but those boys sure came back and have been making steady gains for over a year now.
