This is what happens when you try to help:

After Jan 1st, all the resolutioners were hitting the gym.
I was on a bench next to some squat racks. Some girl comes up and decides to do squats or whatever she decided to do.
Someone had left the bar up high and loaded with about 315# or so.
She starts taking the 45# wheels off.
One side at a time.
I notice this when she just starts to pull the last wheel off one side, leaving the otherside loaded with 3wheels.
I jump up and dive for the bar as it flips up and off the rack
I miss (I was tired, what can I say) and the bar and weights slam to the ground.
Everyone turns to see me standing there with everything clattering around me, and the girl starts going off on me ‘what was I doing? I could have killed her’ etc. I was flabbergasted. Thankfully some of the regulars hadn’t been chased off by the n00bs and defended me. But I still cant believe the stupidity of some people.
Well yes I can, but that’s my rant.
