Yesterday, at the gym, I was doing squats, and a guy I know from my community, who doesn't know me, walked over when I was between sets, standing right there, and pulled off weights from the end of my bar to place on his bar for bench presses. A clear violation of gym etiquette.
So I walked over to him, and I said, "Were you certain when you took those weights off my bar that I was finished using them?" He told me he was distracted, and sincerely apologized. Me thinking, geez, what a dip-shit.
My wife calls me this morning, to tell me that this guy's son is in the hospital, gravely ill. So, it turns out, he had a right to be distracted, and I, in fact, am the dip-shit.
I post this only to remind everyone to cut somebody some slack, even if they're acting poorly, because you never know what's going on in their lives. And, it could be you one day who needs the break...
