GJGE. We've officially become an idiocracy.
Is "gymtimidation" really even a thing? I worked out in a ghetto ass gym in college and never felt intimidated. Because all the lunks were there to work out and gtfo.
I once saw a confrontation in a communal YMCA shower that was pretty intimidating. A yeti caught a jockey stealing his towel off the hook on one side of the room away from the showers. The beast had basically tied his towel to the hook with his gym-key necklace, so it was not like it was an honest mistake. Meanwhile yeti has obviously had this problem before, as had everyone at the gym since the towels were limited to one per customer and handed out at the front desk. Noobs would of course use their towel to wipe off machines and then resort to stealing in order to dry off after showering--they basically wouldn't give you an extra unless you appeared naked and wet at the front desk and said, "Towell got stolen and I'm not moving until you give me another." Usually they'd just slyly enter the shower and put their stinky-sweat-assed towel on a hook and then "accidentally" grab a clean one on the way out, but Tom Cruise guy just waltzed right in, took a 30 second shower, and started browsing the towel-hook wall.
So anyway, here's naked Holliday about to watch a naked giant pummel a naked midget less than 10 feet from me. Also my towel was right on the other side of them and, as you may have noticed, you do not want to lose track of your towell in this place. I was pretty intimidated, but luckily I was able to employ an old Wade Boggs trick and turn invisible and fly across the top of the room, grab my towel, then fly over to my locker. Not sure what happened with the slimy mismatched-sumo-manflesh fight.
