Gyms are supposed to be a judgment-free zone, but every now and then people bring the passive-aggressive energy in hot.
One regular lifter (u/imfightingdemonsfr) found himself on the receiving end of some side-eyes and sarcasm after two strangers decided his leg day was taking too long.
The two women silently hovered, made assumptions, and got frustrated when he didn’t wrap up after 40 minutes.
Instead of cutting his workout short, he stood his ground.
This is one of those Reddit gym stories that’ll make anyone who’s ever waited for a bench (or felt the silent pressure of a gym standoff) nod in recognition.
Was he being reasonable? Or a total equipment hog? The internet is divided.
You’ll want to see how it played out.
