This gym-goer was mid squat when he felt someone tapping on his shoulder. He had no idea what she wanted at first but after he managed to stop what he was doing and remove his headphones he began to put it together and realized that she was demanding that he move so that she could shoot a video.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by Redditor u/Striking-Stick-2355, who is the gentleman who was squatting. He is wondering whether he is in the wrong for his reaction to the influencer's demands, which was to remain exactly where he was for as long as possible. 

The poster explains that he would normally have no problem moving for someone if they were kind and respectful in their approach. "Now, usually, if someone comes to me with a good attitude and asks if it's ok for me to stop for a series or two for them to record or even move machines,"  u/Striking-Stick-2355 explains, "I would absolutely not mind and comply."

Without a doubt, this post could easily be reframed and posted to r/pettyrevenge as u/Striking-Stick-2355 response is a well-justified response from where we're sitting.
