Oh man! I went to get a drink of water last night between my sets of bench (I rest 60 seconds between sets for the people that will try to stick up for this son of a fucking bitch) and some mother fucker steals my bench. There's two open benches next to mine! TWO! He tears my weight off and acts like nothing is wrong.

Ok. So, this dude already made an enemy with a regular. I throw a bar on another bench and go about my routine. Between sets I side eye him to just to see what the fuck he's doing - he's starting to push to failure on 135. He goes down, struggles so hard for a rep, arms shaking, goes down again - I just grinned. He pushes off his chest, slowly struggling to get the bar up and he starts to fail, the bar is slowly going towards his chest again.

Now, all of the regulars were watching to see what I'd do when I came back to find my bench hijacked so they were watching me again now just laughing. A few started to walk towards him, they look at me, and I just shake my head "no" - they laugh and walk back to their stations. The bar rests on this guy's chest for about 20 seconds and he finally gets that last rep out. Racks it. Looks around at everyone just smiling at him.

We'll see if he's a dick to other people from here on out.

Before it gets out of hand: No, 135 wasn't going to kill him, Reddit. It was on his chest just fine. If it would have been an issue I would have pulled it off of him instantly. "Try to talk to him!" The son of a bitch ignored me when I walked backed asking why the fuck he took my bench when there were 2 open ones. He just looked at me and shrugged. Not a word spoken. No, he didn't have ear buds in. No, he wasn't new - he knew what he was doing in the gym. We good now?

Don't take people's shit without asking to work in.
