The lengths people will go to...

[nothuman]

So im only adding here because I literally just went through this crap last night....

My gym is literally next to a chain for fast food and resturants. Usually i call the wife at the end of my session to see if she wants anything otw home. Of course she wants a dumb salad from Wendys cause shes not eating my beef and rice at the house lol.

Ok guy goes in Wendys right after a session, waits in line and decides the gentleman in front is a bit wasted and is making too much small talk with the cashier and is holding me up while im starving, Sooooooo I just walk out and decide to just hit the drive through. Dont you know as soon as my hand hit the exit door I over hear the wasted guy to the cashier,

"Oh he just wants a protein shake".

Like wtf? Are you serious? Within milliseconds I turn around and walk right up to him and say, "Too bad they dont sell protein shakes here because then you can look like this and just walked out on him". He tried apologizing after being the laughingstock but i wasn't up for the fake shit so I hit the drive through lol.

Sorry for the rant guys.

I've gotten this shit a lot too. People going around asking our order and when it's my turn, someone always shouts "HE WANTS SOME PROTEIN!!!" Like I'm supposed to pretend it's funny even though I get some type of comment every few days of my life

Back before my heart attack when I was in shape I used to have people automatically assume I was a gym teacher when I told them I taught high school. They looked really surprised when I told them I taught chemistry and biology, like wow a bodybuilder has a brain!?

Everyone always asks if I'm a personal trainer. When I was a little younger, they'd ask if I played football

 

[concreter]

Even at the Kid rock concert I was dressed in a Flannel and takin Pics with Strangers. Some just commented on My Stance and wanted to know who I was...Like Famous or something.
The look on there faces when you tell them your just a Normal Guy who lifts is Priceless!

Enjoy it while it lasts. One day the Camera may Quit Rollin!

Comes with the territory. At the end of the day, most people mean well so we need to try not to be jerks in return, no matter how old and annoying it gets. Now when people are jerks or ask about steroids, then you have a license to be a jerk back to them.

Dude, that was Seriously funny!!

I can see myself saying that about someone.

If you really made that reply comment, then YOU were the laughing stock, they were laughing AT you, not with you.

How can you guys Not see the humor in this type of stereotypical comment?!

When I was like 18-20, living down in SanDiego and working out like the mad crazed punk I was back then, my buddies and I would often go across the border to drink and party etc. I was completely natural, but I was a pretty built mofo and dedicated gym rat. Anyhow, twice when crossing the border, I was pulled into the back room by the crossing people and searched for steroids. (people went into Mexico to buy them back in the day) Never did them, did't even know about steroids at that age, but just based on my build, I got searched.

I can't stand the stereotypes. But just remember, honestly deep down, it stems from envy and jealousy, even though the nay sayers will never admit it.

 

[Steelex]

I don't take offense to any of it.

It's more a matter of shock and surprise that people feel comfortable asking about your build, food, why you eat some type of way, making comments about you eating protein, ect... Like isnt that stuff a little personal?

You can tell that sometimes the comments are low key putdowns, some are compliments and some are questions. But regardless, I wouldn't consider it socially polite to ask a stranger personal questions... But apparently if you look bigger than average it's ok.

One time at band camp i stuck my flute in my pussy.

One time sticks out as it was funny. I used to work in a shop and an ugly girl said to me her bf looked like me but was a bit bigger. 2 mins later a guy comes in and it's her boyfriend. He didn't even look like he trained and was a bit fat. I usually wouldn't care but the way she had said it I just smiled at her when he walked in. The best compliment I got ever was when someone nearly hit me with a car. Can't remember the exact sentence but something like I would have damaged the car more as I was huge. Obviously I am not huge but I was made up with that one

I couldn't care less what people say to me. It is true most of the type of guys who say that sort of stuff were probably never in shape in anyway. But they are not exactly being nasty and I just take it as a compliment. But the girl I mentioned above said it in a weird way. The only thing that used to annoy me was when I worked in a shop when I was a student and the security guards would ask me to deal with problem customers. It was a rough area so problem customers were usually a fucking nightmare (most were drug addicts and alcoholics). I would help one of them out as he was nice. But another was a complete idiot so I ended up saying to him it's your job and I need to do mine. I once saw him chock out an old guy who had shoplifted who was no threat at all. He was just nervous and he had him in the staff room.

Elvia, I hear the cars are pretty small where your from!!

 

[NGL34]

How can you guys Not see the humor in this type of stereotypical comment?!

Because it's really not that funny. It's not clever.

If your going to pick fun at someone at least put a twist on it to make it really funny. Example, like when a fat cow orders 1 or even 2 supersized Wendy's combo #1
for herself and someone yells out she'll have a diet coke with that. Now that is funny because it actually require a little thought for the jokester and the audience.

 

[trainlikeaboss]

MAYBE it's somewhat of a compliment but I think it's still rude as fuck for
anyone to ask if you are on gear. I think most of my friends and family
know but it doesn't/shouldn't matter to anyone else.

If someone asks if I compete and I'm just wearing pants and a t-shirt that's a
nice compliment. I'm not that big so no one would say anything if I'm wearing a jacket.
Or "Do you do personal training?" which I usually avoid giving a real answer to
because it's always women just trying to hit on me.

Keep in mind that most people THINK they know something about what we do
but they really have no idea what the culture and the etiquette is.

This is a weird comparison but look at 50 Shades of Grey. I've never seen/read
it. But it's about a taboo subject that wasn't really talked about. Now everyone
and their fucking mother thinks they know what BDSM is because they saw one
movie.

Steroids are a taboo subject that went mainstream a long time ago. So while
everyone knows the term and the general idea of it, they are still pretty fucking
clueless. I've literally heard 10 year old kids talking about this or that person
taking steroids. Obviously they don't know what they are talking about but yet
they know enough to have a general idea even at that age.

Now why anyone thinks I give a fuck about how big they ever supposedly used
to be or how much they supposedly used to lift I have no idea.

I used to work out at the Y. I was wearing a tank top due to the heat and as I walked by the playground one of the kids (5yo) yelled out "Hey! Muscle man come back." I got a giggle from that one.

I can understand your point of view there. I get asked to sit in on almost every employee that is let go from our facility that they consider may cause issues. We have a lot of turnover because the work is hard and nasty.

I'm usually left with escorting them out as well.

Sorry bud your off lol

Dude, that was Seriously funny!!

If you really made that reply comment, then YOU were the laughing stock, they were laughing AT you, not with you.

Naw brohamz YOU were not there when his joke fell on deaf ears. It was when I approached him like a man and added my comment is when it went down and when your kissing my ass to apologize cause you got CAUGHT then hmmm to me it means your fake and have no ballz. I do admit all the way home I laughed and was annoyed at the same time cause the shit was funny but it's people like that who try to show off in public that nwws to be checked. I am a very quiet no bother type person and I refused to be bullied especially if I can stand up for myself. Long story short don't be a d!ck to others and talk ish. They just might be listening

Ah yes, and also when someone needs help carrying something or opening a window, they ALWAYS ask us

 

[brutus69]

way too much estrogen in this thread.
godam snowflakes. i guarantee when most of you go someplace and you DONT get a look or a comment you go home and think u need some more steroids and food cuz u made no impression.
but then someone says some simple thing and y'all are all of a sudden on the rag about it? sad.
or like i do, u see a big guy u havent seen in a while and ask if they quit workin out cuz they look smaller....ive seen faces drop at that.
