When it comes to avoiding unwanted attention at the gym [1], leave it to ladies to find creative ideas for getting their reps in without getting hit on at the squat rack. The most hilarious idea for dodging flirty dudes at the gym that we've seen so far comes courtesy of an anonymous exchange reported on Twitter by author Olivia A. Cole:

GUYS. Just now. In gym.

*guy approaches two women working out, with flirtatious eyebrows at the ready*

Girl 1: UH you might not want to come over here, dude. I just farted. It's bad.

Guy: *looks horrified. leaves.*

Girl 2: omg did you really?

Girl 1: psh no.

Ingenious! If you pick up on vibes that somebody is about to offer more than just their assistance as a spotter, take inspiration from this woman's clever (and effective!) strategy . . . just fake a fart.
