Fckn old people

[Zeus]

I have to say, out of all the idiots that lift at the Y, old people annoy me the most!!!!!! It seems to like they see you using a piece of equiptment and as soon as you get a drink of water take a break or whatever they hurry their asses up and take over and change everything you have set up for yourself. And when you ask can I work in with you the reply is always the same, "I only have a couple of sets left". To bad they take fckn forever to finish 2 fckn sets. I can handle the teenagers and all the other people there, but old fcks just piss me off!!!!!!!!! It's like they think we owe their old asses or something.

Yeah and they never leave the machine section. Like buzzards they just hover around, a set here, a set there. Just whatever. Never in a hurry, like zombies. If it is a machine where they can sit down, they will be own it.

how bout the fuckers talking on the phone while using a machine with the other hand. I like the old people. Mostly the
old broads. Usually pretty horney especially if their over 60. Whooo-Hooo. lol

It's the closest gym to me except anytime fitness and that place can suck my fckn cock!!!!! The owner is a fat fckn piece of shit and his alchoholic son runs the place. It's a total joke. Not worth the money to be fckn misserable everytime I lift. I would love to be able to lift at sportworx. I got till october till my show and I know lifting there would make a huge diff. Just to far to go everyday.

I know what you mean. You exactly right .Most of them never worked out in their life , they do not know thing called "Gym ethics "

I personally encountered what you described numerous times . I guess the best way 2 deal with this 2 B as polite as possible and tell them that you have not finished your own sets yet
they can not just sit on the machine, it is against gym rules .So can not you .

Actually it is not just old people , some newbies doing 10-15 sets bench press irritate the heck out of me . What r they trying to do ? kill themselves ?lol

That old guy is someones DAd. Say that was your Dad and some kid started bothering him. How would you feel? Show some respect to the elderly.

Fck him and his dad!!!! I don't know who the old fckrs kids are nor do I care. I'm at the gym persuing a dream not cattering to some old fck. I like old people and not all of them do shit like this. Just the old shits who think the world owes them something. I nor does anyone else owe them shit. Respect is earned not given!!!!!!!

 

[mkdk]

Just spit on them as you walk by, they wont touch the equipment you use then

 

[bigghorn]

Lmao .. How old we talkin???

Bro you have to chill .. The world does owe them . Maybe they fought in a war to defend your country . Maybe they ran a business that created employment .. Maybe they invented paper clips . You have no idea what their story is . They are someone's father or grandfather .The problem with today's world is a younger generation of uncaring people who have a sense of entitlement themselves . No offense bro but you are sounding like that . You are at the Y and it caters to more than bodybuilders . It's not Gold's . You have to suck it up and work around them . They are there trying to stay active and viable . They are owed respect ! I know you are frustrated and venting but man .. you are a father .. do you want the next generation of young people be even more uncaring than this generation . I was taught to respect my elders . Let's face it . You will be that crippled up old fart someday on the pec deck machine and I'm sure you would wish some kindness . Man I read your posts and respect you but I disagree with you on this subject . I hate seeing old people get slammed .

I agree to most of these but the teenagers, I have had too many times during football season that I've had to tell them to either use the bench or get the fck off of it. They'll sit there and talk to there buddies for way too long in between sets. Just one more reason I'm glad I just got a new smith machine in my garage

That's some of my point .. Young people feel entitled because we made them that way . We wanted our kids to have what we didn't have and now no one wants to work . They don't care about anyone but themselves .It's all about their agenda . They don't treat adults or property with respect anymore . I know Zeus was frustrated and venting but we do owe old people everything and shortly we will be there too .. Kids are already knocking down old people and stealing from them or even worse killing them without giving them a second thought . If we go home and start complaining about how stupid the old people are at the gym the message is absorbed by our kids and they become even less respectful to adults . I don't mean to lecture but I am training a 79 year old woman right now . I love to hear her stories about past times .She and her husband have been married for over 60 years . The fact that she is at the gym is to be respected . I hope I'll be still pushing iron by then ..Not sure if I will be in posing trunks ..

I do respect MY elders, but I'm not gna give anyone respect that doesn't deserve it. I'm 35yrs old and do like most old people. Just cause some person did this or did that don't mean shit to me. If you purposely take over a machine that you know a person is using that is just straight up bullshit!!!!! Wether you are 13 or 80 it don't matter. i actualy help train a guy that is 70 and he is a great guy, but when some old fck acts like they are better and above all else, that is just fckn stupid. NO ONE is above anyone regardless of what they have done or acomplished. My sons give respect to those that deseve respect. Like I said, respect is earned not given. If I have offended anyone sorry, but thats just the way it is.

Bro ..I've always read your posts and I respect you but I disagree . You give all people RESPECT until they do something that deserves being taken away . Why should people have to earn your respect ? You better than them ? When do you earn theirs ? It already sounds like your kids may have the attitude of what can be done for them if they only give respect when they benefit from it ? That's the entitlement I'm talking about . A war vet is well above your need to build a bigger body . He gets respect . Sorry bro but that's how I feel . The fact that you don't give a shit about them is my point .. The guy who pissed you off may well have been an asshole ..I wasn't there . If he was a dick then I guess you act accordingly .

I am in a gym 10-12 hours a day and I see it all . If some guy is on a piece of equipment that I want to use I have an alternate plan . You can stand over them and make then feel uncomfortable , butt in and explain gym etiquette to them or just do something else until it's free and go back to it .

I'm sure this letter is pushing your buttons right now .I just hope you are open to what I'm saying .. No offense bro .. it's a public gym .. it goes with the territory .. it sounds like you need a more serious gym than the Y

nuff said .. peace ...

Nothing you said rubbed me the wrong way at all man. My grandfather was one of the fisrt to ever gaurd the atomic bomb. He was the man that taught me respect is earned not given. He learned this in the millitary bro. I would never want anyone to just give me respect. How can you really respect someone you don't know? And as far as my sons go, they are good kids. My oldest is going into law so I geuss I did a decent job of raising them. It's not like i'm saying to go out hate all elderly people on the planet. Just the fcks that deserve it. Everyone has a right to their OP. wether someone agrees with it or not doesn't matter.

Thanks man .. That great about your son's education . You done good by your kids .. I should have figured that out as you are a loving dad.I've read some posts about taking them to the gym

I guess it's the Canadian in me . Maybe respect is not quite the word .. Civility ..If you bump me on the street I would probably say excuse me or sorry even if it's your fault . It's not that I'm afraid of you it's just a civilized thing to do I guess .I wouldn't expect you to earn my respect for me to do that . I was in Chicago last June and I saw a man bump a water out of a woman's hand when he cut in front of her . I have never seen a man so disrespectful to woman . I swear they would have shot each other as they caused a scene on the street .. I know I'm a bit off topic .

As I said .. I wasn't in your gym . That old buzzard may have cut in on purpose or maybe he was just really clued out . In the first case he needed to get the hell off the machine .In the second cut him some slack .. I know you were just venting and wanted to get it off of your chest .I bet I will have days like that too . The comment bothered me about old people so I'm glad it's cleared up ..

I do look up to you and it's looks like you made some really good gains . I wish you all the best in your goals this year .. Seriously .. how great is this forum that we can talk about this stuff and end up with "warm and fuzzies" .. Other bodybuilding forums would have been so negative and ugly . Gotta love this site . It's the BEST
