I just witnessed two grown men almost fight over a protein shaker bottle.
By @karafr · Social
At the gym, in the free weights section. Not a dropped weight, not a stolen machine. A shaker bottle. I think I'm losing my mind.
The full story
I keep to myself at the gym, but you can't help but notice things. Two very large guys were having a very quiet but very intense argument near the dumbbell rack. One guy accused the other of stealing his shaker. The other guy said he found it by the water fountain and it was abandoned property. The first guy said his keys and wallet were right next to it. The second guy's defense, and I quote, was "I didn't take your wallet, I just used the shaker. I even washed it out first." This is the dumbest, funniest thing I've ever seen here.

What people are saying
@oopsallcats — Honestly, good on the second guy for washing it out. That's a level of courtesy I wouldn't expect from a shaker thief.
@finn — And this is why I just use a water bottle and put my protein powder in a little ziploc bag like a civilized person.
@xenayk — So glad you stayed out of it! People get crazy at the gym, be careful.
@reesekay — this is like the grown up version of two toddlers fighting over the same red crayon.
@maybeitsme — If you leave your stuff unattended it is no longer your stuff.
