I was working out with my wife last night at our gym as usual. We were doing seated cable rows and this guy next to us was doing standing cable flies for chest. This guy was resting between sets while I sat on the bench to do my set of rows. My wife neals down at the stack to change the weight for me. While she's doing that, this dude-totally oblivious to anything but himself-grabs the cables and steps forward to do flies and pulls one cable against my wifes lower back! Before he could start and burn the cable across her skin, I yell at him to watch it. I could see he was going to say something stupid so I got up and got in his face. When he saw I had about 50 lbs and 4" on him ( and the death look) he was all apologetic.
I got more pissed becuase my wife didn't know what happened and thought she got in HIS way and was like "I'm sorry". I told her don't be sorry, this idiot wasn't paying attention to anything. He apologized again and I let it go.
The guy came in with the january 1st flood of newbies.
