Best Compliment Ever

My gym is just off a busy street in a popular section of town; it's surrounded by bars, restaurants, and stores so there are always a lot of people out and about. Tonight as I was walking from the parking structure, I came across two douchebags guys who had clearly been enjoying a pint or twelve at the pub on the corner. I was about three steps from the entrance to the gym when the bandanna on my head inexplicably set them off. They stumbled in front of me and blocked my path.

Guy 1: Dude, she looks like a farmer.
Guy 2: Hehehehehehehehehehe. Yeah.
Guy 1: (A lot of words that essentially amounted to: Smack talk, smack talk, smack talk, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, blah, blah, blah)
Me: Waiting patiently for them to stumble on so I can go work out.
Guy 2: Noticing the sign above the doorway while his buddy yammers away Dude, dude, dude! DUDE! She's going into the BOXING gym!

And with that they both shut their mouths and walked away like shoplifters dodging a cop.

Yeah, I was just as confused as you are.

I relayed the story to one of the pro fighters while I was warming up and he looked very vexed. If that ever happens again he said just yell and you know thirty guys will be up those stairs in a heartbeat. I must have looked a little confused because he continued with a wink Girl, don't you know you're one of us now?

Best. Compliment. Ever.
