Gym etiquette. Ever heard of it? This woman clearly hasn't.

One person shared a 'Gym Karen' story to Reddit after it unfolded positively, in his favor. He explained how he was down to his last exercise, and was waiting patiently next to a machine that was occupied by a woman who was notorious for being entitled. He had his earphones in, and wasn't directly facing her. She still got annoyed, and confronted him, asking him what he was doing. He replied that he was waiting for the machine, to which she reacted quite wildly, considering that he wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. You don't own the machine, Karen.

Luckily, the staff members stuck up for him, as did other gym goers. Scroll down to read the full, detailed account of events. This could easily have gone another way… Next up, one roommate who was not only entitled when it came to rent, but also when it came to taking other peoples food. The world is full of obnoxious folk who need to change their ways ASAP.
