Yes, the person was rude.

[b]No, this is completely backwards. I go to Onelife and love the movie room. It is literally a mainstream movie playing on a big screen in a dark room with treadmills and ellipticals in it.

The volume us supposed to be on, that's the only way to hear the movie. You can't hear it through earbuds or any other way. The movie is on so people can work out and watch the movie at the same time. It's not first come first serve volume. It's literally watching a movie like you're at the movies but on a treadmill instead of sitting down in a seat.

If you don't want to listen the the movie and you're the only one in the room, fine turn off the volume. But as soon as someone comes in who actually wants to watch the movie, they get to turn the volume on. If you don't like it, go out into the main cardio area instead where all the TVs are silent.[/quote][/b]

+1. Common curtesy is to ask before turning the volume up. Good grief. Did you say anything? I would’ve just told him I had turned it down so you could find a good compromise volume. After all, the room isn’t there just for the enjoyment of one of you. But yes the guy was rude.

The issue isn't about whether or not the volume is up. The issue is about the man who entered the room and turned the volume way up without asking the OP.  THAT is rude![/quote][/quote]

I don't think you understand this setup.  The entire point of the room is to do cardio with a movie on so you can hear it with no headphones.  There are many, many other cardio machines in other rooms where no movie or audio is playing.  The default is that the music is loud enough to hear over machines.  OP changed that, because for whatever reason, she likes the movie room without the movie playing.  I see no reason that one has to ask permission to return the volume to the default position so the room/machines can he used as intended.

If anything, OP is ridiculously self-centered.  She thinks she has the right to change the room to suit her purposes, and that others have to accommodate her even though they want to use the room as intended.  GTFO.  [/quote]
