I (f28) was peacefully working out at the gym that is in the building where I work, watching some videos on my phone not bothering anyone when someone tapped me on my shoulder and this woman looked at me and asked how long I had left on the machine. I was confused cause we had 6-7 of that machine and I was the only person using one so it didn’t make sense but I told her 10 minutes.
She had the nerve to ask me if I could move to another machine cause she always used the same one and it was the one I was in but I told her that I was sorry but I was going to finish my workout (also it was during a heatwave & the machine was close to a window so you got fresh air once in a while) and then she could have the machine all to herself but apparently, that wasn’t enough and she started talking as to how she had been using this same machine for the last 2 years and no one had never any problem changing machines or finishing their workout early when she asked to which I replied that she could have not used the same machine the last 2 years cause every August when we close for 2 weeks we change every machine & redo the whole gym & even if it was that way, I had worked at that gym for the last 9 years and it would be me that had more right to use it.
This woman literally started shouting saying how I was being rude and that she would go talk to my boss to fire me for talking to her in that way and not letting the customer be right, but I was not working so I was a customer myself too.
I don’t think I did anything wrong but some family members and friends say I could have moved or finished my workout then since it was the last thing on my list so…AITA?
