Was this mean?????

I was at the gym tonight in my regular cycling class. We were half way through and getting very tired when the new girl on the bike next to me started talking to me. I can barely breathe at this point and I am not in the mood for talking! When I got totally fed up with her and realized she wasn't going to stop, I reached out with my left leg and kicked her and her bike over. The bike pinned her on the ground and she hit her head on the wall! Everyone laughed because they thought she just fell! Little did I know that the instructor saw the entire incident and the new girl was her daughter! She asked me to leave and they cut up my membership card on my way out! Was that necessary and do I have a law suit?

Oh come on, I feel she deserved it.

You definitely don't have a lawsuit, and she likely has a lawsuit against you. You don't have a right to be in the gym and they did not violate your civil rights by cutting up your card. On the other hand, you committed assault and could have been arrested.

Do you have a lawsuit? Yes, against you battery. You may also be facing criminal charges. If I were you, I would apologize profusely and never show your face there again. If you had done that to my daughter, you would have a lot more to worry about that just a little embarrassment from having your membership card cut up.

Wow i am just lost for words, if u were that out of breathe just stop talking to her!! its that simple, u had no right to kick her bike over like that, of course she has every right to sue u in assualt n battery charges n she sure will win no doubt about it!! u so can't justify ur actions by saying oh she deserved b/c she wouldnt shut up, u could of either not talked to her, ignored her, or just go to another bike even!!! Well good luck!!

Dude, if you had deliberately caused me injury, I would sue the pants off you.

Get a life.

You don't have a lawsuit. That was really mean!

Well in my professional opinion. You should not have kicked her bike and make her fall. That is cause for a lawsuit on her part. But being that I am not a professional......you should have kicked her mother as well.


Mr. Boof
Before I answer this question, tell me this - are you out of breath right now?

why would you have a law suit you did wrong there are ways, nice ways, to get people to stop talking to you you deserve what to have you membership canceled and you know it as well as we all do and to answer your question yes that was terribly mean


chika
your a complete b**ch grow up u deserve everything you get

What goes around comes around, people are self-conscious enough at the gym, and it's idiots like you that ruin it for the people that are serious. Way to go. If that were my daughter I would have cut up your obviously tiny wee wee instead of your membership card! Next time, think! I may be there with a pair of scissors!

I'm not sure if you do but they certainly do!
Aggravated assault!
So if I were you I'd just be glad they didn't call the police!

Well, it wasn't the nicest thing to do. You could have just ignored her. The next gym you go to get some headphone and even if your not listening to anything prentend that you are and people will leave you alone. They shouldn't have banned you though it's not like you do this to everyone, and if it wasn't the instructors daughter I'm sure they wouldn't have cut up your card.

It was retarded and childish and she could have really gotten hurt. You could have let her know that you didn't want to talk in SO many different ways...yet..you decided to be stupid about it.


angieasee64
She has every reason to sue you! You should be banned, you are evil!!!!

talk about being the ********* on the block! i dont worry much about people who are mean to others, because eventually they pay back when they dont even notice it. sorry honey, your turn will be up sometime soon...yup..i meant swear alright..

Um, you could be arrested for assault and battery - at least under California law, possibly even assault with a deadly weapon. If I were you, and let me tell you right now I am really glad I am not, I would count my blessings they are not pressing criminal or civil charges against you. But if they do I would suggest you answer this question:

Funny.

It depends on your membership contract. My guess is that battery will be sufficient grounds for you to look for a new gym.


Rabid
You're lucky you're not in jail. And yes, she could sue you.

Upon re-reading your question, I certainly hope you are not asking if it was necessary for them to ban you and asking if you could sue them. If that is the case you are a *****.

Well i feal like it was not very polite to knock her over ,u may have hurt her badly. As for her mom ,i feal she was being protectove of her chiled,i don't think she should have cut your card.I hope next time u will be the adult and leave the situation.Have a good one.
