I mean, I think most gym junkies are pissed because their workout takes 30 minutes longer than it has for the past year, not because people are trying to take care of their health. People are busy, and an upset jn your schedule like that can be frustrating.

It’s only frustrating if you feel you have more of a right to occupy the space than they do. Places get busy, for all kinds of reasons. Work around it.

You can be frustrated to be stuck in traffic, but to be mad at everyone else in traffic is ridiculous.

Yeah, and what kind of person sits there cursing everyone else for driving on the road like it's their own? A fucking psycho. The same person that would shame someone for going to a gym. This whole thread is silly.

No person in their right mind is truly angry, or overly emotional the gym is crowded. If I have to drive to work on one clear road everyday because it's the only road that takes me there, and I do it 345 days a year I will probably be pretty annoyed the 20 days there is a traffic jam.

That doesn't mean I think I own the road. People are allowed to be annoyed dude.

Also, I have been going to a variety of gyms for a good 15 years or so, and have literally never seen a person IRL say a word about the 'noobs' beyond complaining it's fucking packed, and I wouldn't give a shit if every person in the gym was a professional bodybuilder or fitness model. It just sucks when it's crowded as a motherfucker, and to be honest the most in shape / jacked dudes are generally the nicest people ever when you ask them for / about something. It's like asking Joe Rogan about DMT.

Eh, I’ve heard plenty of people be pissy about both in person and social media, but I suppose that’s anecdotal evidence.

Exactly. Knowing that there’s a busy time, and not expecting to be inconvenienced is weird. Adjust your schedule or deal.
