Kid refused to spot me today, so I returned the favor

[johnlxyz]

@aeri20 I've never heard of anyone denying a spot...if this actually happened I'd lean to the other guy not understanding what you were asking for.

 

[childrenareinnocent]

@aeri20 Now you know what to tell him whenever he asks you something again. “Am I done with the dumbbells? I don’t even know you kid”

 

[milisha]

@aeri20 Thats not cool.

 

[elecmech]

@aeri20 Eh, he’ll probably grow out of it

@aeri20 You probably would have taught him a bigger lesson if you jumped in.

@aeri20 I wouldn’t say 115 pounds is dangerous

@aeri20 What’s up with Redditors constantly trying to one up children? Embarrassing behaviour

@aeri20 CMV: TikTok gym generation is the worst thing to happen to gyms since the lunk alarm

@aeri20 Gym etiquette has been lost with TikTok and all these "record yourself for social media" things.

I'm happy folks are getting into the gym, but we have so many more ego-lifters which just breeds this bad vibe. I really hate it.

@aeri20 r/thathappened

 

[exsullent]

@aeri20 Sounds like he wasn’t strong enough to spot and was a dick due to insecurity

 

[questjan]

@aeri20 What were YOU benching?

@aeri20 Haha nice man. Ya you did the right thing. The laws of nature still apply to us, and that situation might have become a catalyst for him rethinking how he interacts with others.

Probably just threatened by you tbh.

@aeri20 I think what you did was fine and I wouldn’t argue you should have ran to save him or that it would’ve been the right thing to do. That being said, I think helping him despite him being a dick would have made an even stronger point like “yeah you were a douchebag and I still helped you out, think about that for a while”

@aeri20 Good.... fuck'm...

 

[tennesseestorms]

@aeri20 My first week at the gym a guy asked me to spot him. I had no idea what it means and walked away after his first rep.

I still wonder what he thought but also his fault for picking the skinniest kid at the gym?

 

[ss552jmst]

@aeri20 I wouldn’t have spotted even if in danger, fuck assholes lol
