Hmm so... amongst us who watched it... we got 1 psych eval; 2 thought it was funny; and I will add my vote to make three of us who thought it would be best to hurt him... LOL
I'm not saying I would've tried to snot him in real life, just that that sort of thing would have made me want to. No, in reality a curt 'Fuck off asshole' would've sufficed for me. But having seen some of the antics of the guys at the gym I use when away from home for work....he would've got dealt with quickly and it wouldn't have been very funny.
My mental reaction would have been to bait him. With a "sure, show me how it is done. Here let's see if you can do a 410lb single rep bench... then I will let you coach me." But my mental reaction doesn't always control my emotional reaction.

Yeah, my thoughts as well. I would have wanted to see if he can do it and when he couldn't have, told him to go to the Hips & Curves gym at the other end of town.
