no english, gettin pissed

[mcgaret]

Loved my old gym but the owner was getting burnt out and shortend his
hours. Then if it was slow he would just close. After years there I needed
a gym with reasonable hours. There is only one other GYM within 20 minutes.
It is small but good enough. Owner is cool and still competes. The problem is
3/4th's of the guys dont speak english. I asked a guy once for a spot on
the bench. I wanted a couple of forced reps when I hit failure. From the
first one he is doing all the lifting. NO ENGLISH!! Well, he tried. I laughed
and wrote it off. Today was the last straw. I was supersetting chest and
back. (short on time) I was benching 265. Not heavy but heavy enough
to get hurt. I am going slow to really get feel (before I threw on some
more weight). I am pushing up the 3rd rep. Good control but going slow,
when I see a hand (ONE HAND) grab next to my left hand and start to pull
up. WHAT THE FUCK!! At least grab in the middle. I had to rack it and it
totally fucked up the rest of my workout. I started giving him shit and
realized he spoke no english. Just kept smiling at me. I pitty the next
fool who tries that!! Thanks for letting me vent - I had to get it out.

run into that alot myself. The younger folks always can speak english well or are learning very fast, but the older ones just dont bother to learn it. Guess you cant teach an old dog new tricks.

Just got a union related news letter saying we should all learn spanish because of
the language problem. (shouldn't it be the other way around?) When I go to Mexcio,
my wife has family down there, I have to try to speak Spanish just to comunicate.
They would laugh like hell if I demanded they learn English.

Same here with my wife except it is Brazil and I'm trying to learn Portuguese.

 

[dreww]

Id expect to go to a foreign country and have to speak THEIR language. But apparently thats not the case with the U.S.

Whats worse is that I recently had an English Speaking American run across the gym when I was doing DC incline stretches with the bar close to my throat, pauses for about 30 seconds...

Then he has the audacity to try and grab the bar off me while Im cursing and yelling at him not to touch the bar, and he trips and falls onto me and the bar, so now Im DC stretching about 385 with his bodyweight. I nearly killed the kid after.

I wish I could have seen that - pretty funny - I would have hit him w/the
bar!!

I just googled an English to Spanish translator for:

"I would like to help but I have no idea what I'm doing here"

Just say the following.

toque eso jodiendo la barra y yo le mataré..

Loose translation is touch that fucking bar and I will kill you!
