Banned from Planet Fitness

So I hate the place anyway, but it was really close to my house and pretty clean as far as gyms go. Plus, I enjoy tanning from time to time, and it's free with a membership and much cheaper than Ultra Tan.
So anyway, I was benching today and apparently I didn't set the weight down easy enough. So this dude who works there who is decidedly not into fitness whatseover comes over and tells me to please set the weight down easy. Mind you, I'm repping 250 without a spotter and using a smith machine. It's not like I'm dropping a barbell and hoping that it just lands back in the racks of an Olympic bench. There was no risk of me hurting myself, I was just a little louder than they preferred.
So anywho, I get naturally defensive about it and proceed to be passive aggressive AF, both by repeating the undesired behavior when they're not looking and sarcastically handling the weight super-gently when they are looking. I essentially force a 2nd confrontation by being a d1ckhead.
All of a sudden, they seem fed up with me and come over and ask me to leave. So I say "#### yall, this is why people make fun of me for working out at this gym. You should KYS for working here. Honestly. Stronghold is a REAL gym anyway and I've been meaning to go there. And then they canceled my membership and tell me I'm not welcome anymore.
------------------------
This is how this scenario would have played out 6 months ago. It took everything in me not to will this scenario into fruition through my selfish thoughts and actions. This didn't actually happen. I kept my mouth shut and gracefully walked out with a smile and told everyone to have a great day, grateful for having followed the rules that they have put into place through their years of experience in operating fitness chains.
Whenever I am disturbed, the problem is with me. I try to remember that.

Somewhat subtle flex in there.
You didn't threaten his life like he was a flag football coach?

Smith machine, so it's really more like 215 with real weight

when you account for the lighter bar and the guided supports. I doubt I could rep 250 on a free bench. Maybe 2RM

Pretty sure if I took one of those DNA tests there would be nary a trace of anything mediterranean or northern african. Pretty sure I'm a direct descendent of Winterfell.

And admirable story. I knew of a guy, a family friend, who got banned from John Deere, internationally, forever. Not sure what he did, but what a badge of honor.
I sometimes sit and wonder, what could one do to get banned from every John Deere store in the world, forever? Mind Bottling.

Probably. This guy was a grade A axxhole, and about as unpleasant a person to be around as it gets. Funny part was he was morbidly obese, had BOTH knees replaced, walked around with two canes, and would threaten to kick anyone's axx at the drop of a hat.
That jerk couldn't even kick his shoes off, much less someone's axx. So I have absolutely NO doubt he got banned, it's just a question of how. Asking someone to bend over during one of his insane rants at the counter in a full store during a holiday might have done it for sure.
