So I was at the gym yesterday and this guy was occupying the squat rack doing calf-raises. He would do his set then go to the paper-towel dispenser to wipe his face afterwards.
After his 2nd set, I tapped him on the shoulder and asked him how many more sets he had. He pretended like he didnt hear me, so I followed him back to the squat rack.
Then he exploded at me in a British accent "Why did you touch my shoulder? Why didn't you just say 'excuse me' Dont you know its rude to touch people in the gym. Blah blah blah." He was very convinced that he was right and was yelling at me like I was a child or something
I was like woahhh. wtf. I am very non-confrontational and just held up my hands and left.
Makes me wonder... If mental disorders are estimated at 10% of the population, you are running into lots of mental or semi-mental cases everyday. Weird to think about it like that....
What are your experiences with crazy or eccentric people? Shoot down some stories

WIA- For most of men, our time being masters of our own fate, kings in our own castles is short. Even those of us in the game will eventually succumb to ease of servitude rather than deal with the malaise of solitude
