Colleague works out a lot. He's a big ripped dude who clearly doesn't skip leg day. Anyway-- Boxing gym, Crossfit, HEMA sword and buckler classes, cardio, tai chi or something ... he does a lot.
He keeps all of his workout gear in two big workout bags. One has his fighting stuff, the other one has the rest.
Said colleague is going through a very high conflict divorce. I'd say "unfortunately" but he's dodging a metaphorical if not a literal bullet and I'm glad for him. She's super entitled and has "8th grade bully" type of mean girl energy. She is not a nice person. She not only knows this, but cultivates this.
They formally separated, and he moved out pretty suddenly because she got scary threatening and he escaped with his cats, his laptop and the clothes he c was wearing. No workout gear. No kitchen gear.
Getting stuff is increasingly complicated because he has a protective order against her. He can't go to the house when she's there, and has to get some sort of permission any other time. He can't just get his things. Even though it's his house. Everything essentially goes through lawyers or the courts right now. It's messy.
Now, all he wanted in the interim were his cats, his snake, his workout gear, his chef knives and some pans, and his electronics. Once the cats and python were safe he asked this ex-in-progress for his workout bags.
Ex hands over the workout gear bags.
Just the bags.
Empty.
He had asked for "my workout bags" .... and yes, he got his workout bags... technically.
I'm waiting to see if he gets the rest ever.
