For context, me and some kid (probably 17) arrived at the gym at the same time. I started bench pressing. I saw him eye me up as he was in the corner doing arm circles.
I normally do 5-6 sets and it takes about 15 mins. Kid asks me if I’m almost done, midway through set 4. I say 2 more. He rolls his eyes and goes back to stretching. As I’m on my last set, I call him over and say ‘hey, this is my last one, do you mind spotting me real quick?’
He says ‘I don’t even know you’ with an attitude and walks away and takes his hoodie off.
I end my set and don’t even acknowledge him.
Later, as I’m doing pec flys I look over in the corner of the room and he’s failing on 115. I just looked away. Guess you gotta learn the hard way.
Edit: the kid was more than capable of getting the weight off in a safe manner. If he actually would have been in danger, yes, I would’ve spotted him.
