There’s this weird zoomer at my gym that’s always walking directly in front of me to get somewhere, even when it’s out of his way and the gym isn’t packed. I had enough this morning and told him to quit doing it and give me some space. Was that a dick move on my behalf?

There's a lot of context here.

I don’t understand what further context you’d need? It seems like common sense. I generally give people a wide berth if I’m grabbing dumbbells near them or go around them if the gym isn’t packed. Even when this dude goes from one station to another he goes directly in front of me rather than going around.

He's the alpha male, he sensed your weakness and made you lash out. Watch out for his truck in your driveway, he's coming for your ole lady next.

That bro decided to AMOG you and your reaction is to come whine about it on a message board.

At first I wpulse say you have a right to your space but your following comments tell me you’re just an a-hole.

How am I the a-hole when every reply is some smartass remark?

I guess you guys just love rubbing against other men at the gym, just seems a little strange to me.

Yep. Maybe OP is a jerk for hogging space other people need to go through, then getting offended when they do.

Maybe the other guy lacks a sense of personal space. It's impossible to tell from the amount of info provided, which makes me think it may be OP in the wrong. If he was in the right, this would probably be a little clearer.

Yes you are the arse hole. I bet you take up a ton of space to.

If you are the guy sweating non stop with soaked towel... piss off. I think you are.

Maybe? I mean, idk how big the gym is or what you’re even talking about. You’re not providing much details.
