I thought staff gyms were a permie benefit?

Seriously though, what would I do? Well, I doubt I'd be comfortable being the only user of the staff gym to begin with. Nor would I personally want to be exercising where there's even a slight possibility of someone I work with joining me. That's why I'd have an external gym membership for that sort of thing.

Otherwise, I'd try what someone's suggested regarding moving to a different machine if he gets too close. If he follows I'd simply speak up and demand my personal space back. If he persists, I may go down the permie-style HR complaint route. But realistically, I would probably just move my gymming out of the office.

He does his daily preliminary stretch on mat next to said rowing machine and then hops on treadmill right in front of you - you are now at eyelevel with his butcheeks

He does sound wierd. Any normal bloke would do the opposite, find a treadmill with a lady on it and use a rowing machine behind to eye her butcheeks [sic]

No! This is general! You haven't got the hang of this yet have you?

You are supposed to call me a moron and ask me outside for a fight.....

I don't need to tell you that surely?

[original PM]

[cojak]

What is so difficult about making eye to eye contact? Its not as if he looked her in the eye with his jap eye.

Made perfect sense to me first time. I thought the only cretin round here was assguru.

I've read it a couple of times now and still can't figure it out.

was it the "looks you in the eye" bit?

If you have to consult some random strangers on the web about such a trivial issue, how do you make it through life day after day?

FFS!

Are you really thicker than assguru?

Someone might just come up with a good idea unthought of elsewhere. Or you can just take the p1ss. The person who asked me to post this is a sensitive delicate lady.

Or, as ever, I might be lying. With twunts like you and assguru allowed into the forums I regularly lie for protection.

But in this case I'm not. Scouts honour.

Re: How to deal with creeps?

Can someone please do the needful and create a parody thread about going to the gym everyday and having some bird stare at your arse

Question asked by a friend of mine - advice welcome especially from women.

You sit on a floor of about 300 people, bang in the middle with your back to the MDs offices. The gym is downstairs so you are going to bump into a few.

You are in the gym every morning on the same rowing machine in front of sky sports at the same time. You are putting some effort in so you are a drippy mess, far cry from the matching-Nike-lycra glowing gym bunnies.

One of the MDs, wants to use the treadmill for about 20 mins most mornings. He has about 15 to choose from spanninng main gym floor.

He does his daily preliminary stretch on mat next to said rowing machine and then hops on treadmill right in front of you - you are now at eyelevel with his butcheeks. This morning he was late and you were having a bit if a stretch on the rowing machine just before you leave. He copies said stretch, looks you in the eye and gets on the treadmill infront of you as usual.

You are a female contractor 10+ years younder than him. You are about a foot taller than him.

What do you do?

1. Tw@t him because he is asking for it
2. Sabotage the running machine so he has to go somewhere else
3. Ask him if he has any daughters and what he would like to do to the man who did this to them
4. Find the biggest/gayest personal trainer and bung him some cash to sort him out in the changing rooms
Permie answer
5. Take photos, speak to gym get cctv and go to HR

Been going on about 2 months, at the min I just think its wierd and pathetic, I am alot bigger than him so am not physically intimidated in the slightest.
I'd take it more seriously if he didnt look like a little fraggle. But I know if that was happening to any of our juniors I'd corner him.

Just to save embarrassing yourself should option 1 be 'get someone else to twat him'?

Alternatively the OP should stop dressing up in leotard and pretending to be a young woman when working out
