Bullied by a sg woman and her foreign caucasian bf at gym
-
As gym users know, public gym exercise machines are for all of us to use. If there are 2 person wanting to use the only one machine there, they can share with each other by queuing up and letting the others do his/her 1 set after doing their own 1 set. But some gym users with no gym etiquette would just sit on the machine set after set to monopolize it as if it's their own machine.
I was at Seng Kang gym just now, I tried to use the only low pulley cable row machine in that gym. I know what is gym etiquette, so every set I did, I will stand up, so that others can use. So i finished my second set with 4 more sets to go, this caucasian foreigner (wearing sleeveless new balance shirt) came and monopolize the whole machine even though he was aware that I'm using the machine also. I stood a bit close behind him for a while because I want him to be aware that I'm queuing up behind him. He confronted me by saying " are you standing there for a reason or you just wanna annoy me ? ". So I replied " just want to share this machine" then he say " stand away from me, one more set". So I did move away for a while as it's his last set and I don't really want to make him angry as he is a huge guy (around 190cm) and I am only a 163cm guy.
After a while, after I finished my fifth set with 1 more set to go, the caucasian's Singaporean girlfriend came (wearing orange) and monopolize the machine. So I asked politely, can we share this machine ? She replied same as his caucasian boyfriend " one more set ". After that she went away and dicuss with his boyfriend about me as I can heard them talking. I feel that they are ganging up to test me. I felt bullied. -
what are you gonna do?
Stomp of cos' lah
-
u should haver just fought inside the gym despite the height difference!!!!i had encounters with tall violent ang mo 1.9metres n big n still proved my mind over their meat is greater than anything else.
it all boils down what are u doing in the gym?u know u cant beat him,,so why are u there for??did u stalk him after that?and if no..may i know why not?
-
moral of story:
u may be filled with muscles tendons and may pass IPPt with gold and rainbows but when it comes to aggresive encounters as to what is wise,bad,wrong or good....u are as clueless as a 5 year old kid.
its not the equipment u are given,its not how much muscles u have its not how many gold u get in ippt...its what u really are when u deal with situations in front of u right there.
-
Cool down, dude... small incident...
n it could have just been a misunderstanding
-
LOL...
I think i will also be irritated if somebody stands and look at me while i do my exercises...
Anyway, the gym is a common place, so anybody can use any machine at any one time, since he's using this section, use another section until the person leaves, and not stand there just to irritate people so that you can complete your desired full set.
And it will be best if you want to complete a desired full set on a weekday, and not a weekend where there are many people....
This is not the ATM or the urinal, so theres just no queuing.... -
Small thing, let it go. Good things come to those who wait.
Reminds me of the super long queue at din tai fung I was at last week, this gang of auntie cut my queue to take the number, but my number got called first, hurhurhur.
-
U know from almost all my posts that I'm anti-angmo. So I'm very sorry about what happened to u. However, I believe u held your dignity and I admire your longsuffering.
Truly, if what happend to u happened to me, I'll be mad. (I was so anti ang mo, I spent more than 10 years writing down phrases to use should ang mos be funny, which I hope to publish one day).
First, the word 'annoy' was antagonistic. If someone asked if I was trying to annoy him, my reply would be 'are u trying to be a dickhead'?
He will give a witty/rude reply, I'll reply with a witty/rude phrase.
I am only 161cm. If he asks me 'do u want one' (this means do u want to fight?). My reply: 'make my day, the law is on my side'. He will make a first punch. If I can duck, good. If not I'll be floored. But I'll get up immediately and lunge at him with all my strength, grab his hand, use my whole weight and drop myself to the floor. Trick is touse your whole weight to bring an angmo to the floor as it'll be easier 4u. He will try to kick n punch me. I will attempt to use my elbows, kness and shin to hit try hit his face.
U know I hate them so much I am willing to get very injured or die protecting my dignity (maybe to protect my pride, my muzzle complex or some oth reason, I don't know). Even if i DIE doing what I told u I will do, I'll never regret retaliating. Of course if i die, ang mo will get hanged for murder. In Singapore, whites cannot play with our law. It's a life for a life.

He shouldn't just sit down on the machine set after set to monopolize it. What if he was doing super sets ? Then i have wait for him for 30 minues so that he can complete his routine ?
-
all got it wrong....its the issue of CAUCASIAN and the sg spg slut
they thought that the public machine is for private use that no one else could queue up for it...
for me...i would continue to annoy them, particularly the ang moh, and make indirect sarcastic remarks right behind him....i guarantee this piece of shit cannot withstand it and will come right down from the machine....
knnbccb ang moh...lai la...
aside, i m sure the public gym may have some house rules governing usage...check it out and/or send in your feedbacks for improvements ....restricting usage to certain timing per person.....
another innovative technology is the use of some biometric or ID card issued by the gym facility....once the time is up...he or she cannot do it twice...but that would be a costly investment for the gym....

as for the sg spg woman or women....once their ang mohs turn off....they will meek down their sluttish arrogance to a typical chow ah lian

why do u suggest making 'indirect sarcastic remarks behind the ang mo'...why not make it directly to his face?
That is why I stress unity among Indians, Chinese and Malays (Singaporeans) against the angmos. When some Sigaporeans walk pass other Singaporeans, why do they feel the need to strut and act tough in front of their fellow men, especially the local males? Why not display a humble facial disposition at each other, since we are all locals. What locals must do is to act tough toward ang mos, not amongst ourselves.

there are good ang mohs as well as bad ones...make sure we treat the good ones as equal with respect ...

Just walk away and do other weights. Many things are a matter of your perception. If you think it's bullying, it's bullying. If you think you are level headed enough, you are.

People are sharing the gym, if you're unlucky, you meet the nasty ones. Won't hurt to do the workout later. Your muscles will still grow. If you insist, then hopefully the guy doesn't turn vicious. Public gyms are very crowded these days.

well dude, if that happened, make sure you die ok. Otherwise he won't get the noose.

"Gym etiquette" as you practice is not a universal thing. Some people do all their sets at once and leave for good.
But it seems this guy was making you wait like a monkey and showing you attitude. I would suggest you spoil his day, nobody likes to work out in a bad mood. There are many ways to do so.
You can complain to the gym staff and start an argument. Even if they side with the ang mo (they usually do), he would have been pissed. You lose the argument but still achieve your objective. Then you can smile and walk away.

TS should talk to the staff or instructors over tthere to resolve the issue.
Dont take it too personal. Try to relax and dont fall into their trap of making you unhappiness.

Ya man, if I just get seriously injured I will be charged with asault and battery. In this country, it does not matter who throws the 1st punch.

U are so right. It is how we handle the situation spontaneously that shows our maturity. There are a few ways pp can handle this:
1) Retort with a witty remark. Then walk away. Most above 40 years will do this so that they will 'not get down to his level'. This is also especially true with people who know they can fight and injure someone but will not do so. IN FACT THIS ANG MO IS AGGRESSIVE BECAUSE (DESPITE HIS SIZE) HE IS A COWARD IN HIS HEART. A true fighter will not behave like him. True fighters will be gracious and say 'o i didn't noe u were using this machine...could u let me finish 1 set 1st?'.
2) Fight him physically. This applies to young pp who are less matured and have a muzzle complex. Perhaps like me.

It is sobering to be reminded that local sales staff often side with whites. Why do that to your own people? (rhetorical question).
I had 2 such experiences in Carrefour n a pharmacy and at a furniture store. Each time the staff said to the white 'can i help u'. Then i jump right in between them n say 'scuse me, i was here first. u r serving him 1st just bec he is white'. The staff at Carrefor said 'i served him bec i saw him first'. But I was there first.
The furniture staff said 'i did not, i'm not a racist'. I replied 'yes u are, by your actions n u should be ashamed of yourself'.
Besides these 3 incidents, there are many other times i've offended the white. So far I've not been bashed up. Maybe 1 day i would be.
