I believe I was just insulted at my gym.



Recommended Posts

I'm not upset. Just bit perplexed by this.

Been at this gym for three years. I like to give off the I'm working out leave me alone vibe..lol. No make up, sweaty, ball cap and headphones on. lets people know this is not my chat time.

I was one of four people in the stretching area. It's a pretty quiet private area.

I have a bit of an idea of what this hand gesture is..But not totally. The three men in the area were not stretching . One was pretending to slide dollar bills at me quickly....Something to do with strippers.... right? When he realized I saw him he walked away freaking quickly.

Did they fold the dollar bills length wise? If so - yes.

Only an insult if folded bills...

Why are they are in the stretching area not stretching anyways? Seems like a rude gesture no matter what to me. I’ve never slid dollar bills at a stranger in a gym.

My gym is actually a great place and family friendly. Most people are respectful and friendly. Especially the gym regulars.

I don't know if it was an insult honestly. They were probably remarking to each other you were hot or something to that effect.

Don't get me wrong, they are pigs. But it sounds like a objectifying action more than a personal insult.

I so agree with @BigViffer. They were sayin' you were "smokin' hot" and that you were even "bill worthy."

But, yeah, pigs and immature...

But, if I ever get that response from someone, it will make my freakin' week. :D Just sayin'. I've never been a smokin' hottie in my life and would like to know what that feels like some day...you know. Bucket lists and all...

Congrats on your success hon.

On behalf of the women and guy's here. Can we stuff a bill in your waistband ? I have to giggle your name could be announce at chip N dales.

Hope this is a compliment

Fluffy...I'm an old fart. I have to laugh at myself when I need a translation to a hand gesture. I'm that clueless.

Just to make your week girly...Tossing bills your way.

(I'm a 55 old fart. ROFLMAO. I have to ask for translations all the time. Around here we call it, "Askin' what the captain REALLY means!)

That meme is hillarious!

I think they were remarking you were hot.

Report them anyway. The gym isn’t the place for locker room bullshit. Assholes.

I’d smile sweetly, walk away, and report them.

Come to think of it, I could be one of the people in the new's being sued for sexual harrasment..lol

I was raised when there was no political correctness...lol I think I have harassed a few people in my time. It's my warped sense of humor that gets me in trouble.

For me it's not a big deal.

Trust me, I have had worse happen.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
