&gt; Ever go to a gym and ask someone how to do a basic lift only to be scoffed at? Ever been to a foreign country and have someone berate you for not understanding how to navigate through some strange process or not knowing how to speak their language well enough?<p>That&#x27;s not asking, that&#x27;s <i>demanding</i> that someone teach you. Its a brazen form of entitlement that completely disregards the state of the other person.<p>In regards to the gym, I don&#x27;t go to the gym to wait around to randomly help some other person with their lifting techniques. I squeeze in going to the gym before or after work, to try to get in my exercise before I get home, so I don&#x27;t die at 40. Don&#x27;t be a dick and expect me to drop everything I&#x27;m doing because you don&#x27;t know what <i>you</i> are doing. I am, literally, not here to help you.<p>If you <i>really want</i> somebody who <i>is</i> waiting around to help you, then your in luck: They are called personal trainers, and you can <i>pay them</i> to help you! If you don&#x27;t have the money do that, then (god-forbid) you google it or get a book from the library and make a best effort on your own before getting pissy at me because I have other priorities than to make <i>your</i> life easier&#x2F;less emotionally distressing.
