Today, while using the leg press at the gym, some guy thought he could use more weight than me since I look really young. He hurt himself. He then blamed me and tried to get me kicked out. FML

Leg day

Today, I walked into the gym to do legs and walked up to the leg press machine where a trainer was taking weights off. I asked him if he was about to use the machine and he gave me an odd look and said no, then walked back to his client who was in a wheelchair. FML

Today, at the gym, a guy yelled at me to stop lifting more than his son, because I was embarrassing him by being a girl and lifting more. His son must have been 15 and I almost qualified for the Olympics, but sure I’ll hold back to spare the feelings of a misogynistic 15 year-old little bitch. 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 working out at the gym. A very attractive girl was watching me work out, so feeling like a stud, I tried to lift a really heavy weight. I failed, got trapped, and watched helplessly as she walked away laughing. FML

Today, I told a guy he should be ashamed of himself for parking in a handicapped space. He hit me with his prosthetic leg. FML

Today, I was at the gym with my friends when they invited me to do a few bench presses. Since I'd never done any before, I decided to start with no weights on the bar and work my way up from there. I wound up pinned beneath the bar, calling for my friend to come free me. FML

Today, my friend invited me to his boxing club for the first time. Since I'm somewhat short and scrawny-looking, he was worried that the workout would be too difficult for me. I waved him off and told him that I was tougher than I looked. Five minutes into class, I sprained my ankle. FML

Today, I was finishing my chest workout at the gym when this really cute girl started using the machine next to me. To impress her, I tried lifting a lot of weight on the barbell. It ended up landing on my neck and she had to help me get it off. FML

Today, at the gym, some muscle head idiot started yelling at the treadmill for not going fast enough, and I muttered "roid rage". Apparently said roids give him superhuman hearing, because he heard me from the other side of the room, and threatened to kill me. FML

Today, it was my first day at a new gym, which cost a fortune. Some skinny teen who had clearly never lifted in his life dropped a weight while I was stretching and broke my ankle. Money down the drain. FML

Wow. People can be so obnoxious. So what if you can't lift more weight than someone? I can barely hold 40 pounds.

It's an annoying (yet common) trend in the gyms I've worked out in: there's always at least one guy with an ego inflated like a blimp, in addition to some weird superiority complex. If you're lifting a barbell with three plates per side, they feel the need to lift four, even if they look like they're going to have a hernia. As you said, I definitely find it obnoxious. I just try to ignore them and continue pushing MY limits, not attempting to one-up somebody else. Hopefully the "ego-lifter" that tried to challenge OP learns his lesson.

Take it as a compliment, he wanted to show off in front of you.

Maybe OP could have taken it as a compliment before he tried to get OP kicked. After that its definitely not a compliment any more

Now how exactly did he expect to get you kicked out for what he did. What could he possibly say that will be logically justify him?

This guy obviously wasn't the smartest one around. Weight lifting can be dangerous and people need to know their limits.

Knowing your limits and pushing yourself just that little bit past them = results! Disregarding your limits entirely to show off and be a macho-man = You're gonna have a bad time.
