Today, I went to the gym for the first time in a while. I was doing upper body workouts and decided to ask a very large muscular man to spot me while I did bench presses. As he stood over me, I saw two beads of sweat roll off his nose. One hit me on the cheek. The other landed in my open mouth. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter

Today, while bench pressing at the gym, I noticed my spotter had spit hanging from his mouth right above me. When I tried to warn him about it, he ignored me and told me to finish the set. When the drool fell in my mouth, I was startled and dropped the 175 weights and bar on my chest. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. As I tried to bench press, my arms gave out instantly, and I ended up dropping the bar onto my chest. The dudes in the gym around me gave me the wide-eyed WTF face, while I tried to laugh it off and failed. FML
Today, I was working out with the guy I like when he spilled his water bottle. I went to clean up the spill, bashed my face into the weight bar, which broke my nose. FML
Today, I went to the gym after months of procrastinating. I walked straight into the glass wall next to the entrance instead of the door. A guy lifting near the front desk winced in sympathy. I still worked out, but I could see my face slowly swelling in the mirror. FML
Today, my friend spotted for me while I was lifting a barbell. He thought it would be hilarious to tickle my armpits as I lifted it all the way up. I can still taste vomit in my mouth and it hurts to breathe. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. Feeling pumped, I grabbed what I thought was a light dumbbell. It wasn’t. I dropped it on my toe and screamed so loud that the gym bros around me stopped mid-workout to stare at me. FML
Today, at the gym, I was trying to look cool doing pull-ups in front of someone I liked. On my first pull-up, my hand slipped, and I fell backwards onto a yoga ball, which shot me straight into another guy doing push-ups. FML
Today, I went to the gym. I tried out a new machine where you do one-arm weightlifting. I took my time to get into a good position, then set the machine to the lowest weight possible. I couldn't even lift it an inch. A bunch of buff guys nearby saw me and burst out laughing. FML
Today, I was at the gym when I saw one of my friends at the water fountain. I went over and gave him a man ass slap while he was drinking. It wasn't my friend. I now have a black eye. FML
Today, while at the gym, I noticed a creepy-looking guy watching me. When I got up from the equipment, I noticed that he sniffed the seat. I didn't say anything the first time. After he did it the second time, I asked him to stop. He bent down and sniffed it without breaking eye contact. FML

That is absolutely disgusting. This one is almost as bad as the one where the dentist's snot falls into the OP's open mouth.

Thanks for the reminder, Hailey. FML.

Snot is worse than sweat isn't it?

Remind me to wear a mask In public...

What about the 'vile' phlegm that shot out of the old woman's mouth?

Reading fml while eating .... I will never learn

I hate when that happens!! Wipe your sweat!
etoilenuit 15
Why was op's mouth open anyway?? Such a pet peeve. Close your mouth if your not talking!
Ambient25 24
Wow, you've obviously never benched or done any physical exercise that involved exhaling....
capslockisgood 19
If you open your mouth that wide, you have a problem.
Ambient25 24
it's a drop of sweat, it's not exactly considered to be "wide"

Well, when spotting, you can't exactly wipe your sweat. Although when I know I'm sweating heavily, I'll move my face to the side a bit.

just think positive. you had a refreshing drink(~º º)~

And, the salt in the sweat will replace the salts you lost while sweating.

I think I just vomited a tiny bit. You're very brave, I couldn't talk to anyone at the gym!
Ambient25 24
Lol what? Why?
SWC_Penguin 17
I'm with you, #8. I never even go to a gym because of other people. I can work out at home just fine.
SWC_Penguin 17
And by 8 I meant 9. Must have been some sweat on my phone's screen.
Ambient25 24
Why would other people keep you from the gym? Is it the thought that a bunch of muscle heads doing curls in the squat rack and snorting creatine off their abs will look at you with a smirk? They won't care what you do buddy.
SWC_Penguin 17
There are some people who get what I'm saying. If you're not one of those people I don't think it's possible to explain. Just understand that the thought of a gym creeps me out. I'm glad you're not afflicted.

It's really a confidence thing, not so much watching big dudes intimidate you. Trust me, I was scared of the gym at first too, I'm a skinny dude trying to build my muscles back, and the thought of me lifting small weights while brolic dudes lifted 3x more weight terrified me. But if you keep going, you eventually lose your fear of gyms, I now try to go at least 5 times a week, and I'm comfortable. Everyone else minds their own business. Everyone has to start somewhere.

Thanks, 48, but that's not it. I've been invited to go with friends who aren't in better shape than me at times when I know we'd be the only ones around. The idea of working out with other people just sounds totally awful to me. And it had nothing to do with body image. As I said, I work out at home and have no problem showing off my body at the pool. That's not the issue. I don't think it can be explained.
NINJAKITTY12345 11
It seems like you aren't trying to explain it.
angelitared 27
Taste a little salty?
CallMeMcFeelii 13
I was going to say something dirty..but I just couldn't do it.
Ambient25 24
don't sweat it buddy
Pleonasm 35
Wait, so it's not other people's blood, sweat and tears that you need for a good workout? I guess I've been going about this wrong.
twaumat 28
so if you watched it, why didn't you close your mouth?
vencku 13
This is exactly what I thought while reading this FML. If you saw them coming your way, even if you couldn't get away, at least close your mouth and turn your head away for a second. It's not that bad if they fall on your cheek where you can wipe them off together with your own sweat afterwards.
