At the gym, in the middle of a set. Some dude just walks over and starts talking to me. I can’t understand shit because I’ve got earbuds in and I can’t pause the podcast because I’m too busy holding the weight of a small person above my head. I cut my set short, put down the weights, pause the podcast and apologize, ask him to repeat as I couldn’t hear him. Turns out it was just some small talk I never asked for. I politely entertain it for a while then he goes away.
4 minutes later he does the same shit all over again. Seriously some people are fucking clueless.
This happened to me literally every single session at this one particular gym.
The worst offender was the dude who suddenly plopped down next to me (which was startling) while I was on the floor doing ab work and just started jabbering away. I just pointed to my ear bud and motioned him away.
Mother fucker, I’m here to work on my fitness, not talk to every rando that decides to chat me up.
The other side: “I kept trying to flirt with this guy at the gym, and he was NOT taking the hint. I wish men would just say what they want, instead of leading me on.”
Nonverbal communication is better in this situation, like a light touch on the arm and a smile, or taking your dick out your pants and helicoptering it at them.

I cancelled my membership that morning.
