I have on a few occasions made eye contact and rolled my eyes, but that&#8217;s kinda it. As much as he irritates me, I never complained about him, but someone must have because he stopped. He&#8217;s the kind of guy who gets along with the fit girls, but he doesn&#8217;t like me, and he lets it be known. He will stay on equipment when he knows I&#8217;m waiting for it, he will purposely put things out of my reach when he knows I&#8217;m going to use it next, and he&#8217;s just an all round ass.<\/p>\n<p>I decided today that he truly is making an effort to stop grunting, so I&#8217;m going to do something against my nature. I&#8217;m going to be nice. He is obviously insecure about something and I bother him. If I&#8217;m nice I might just throw him off enough that we can peacefully coexist.
