The selfie takers. You're not getting any uglier keep working out or gtfo of my mirror space.
The lazies. You're lifting 20s why the hell can't you re rack your weights? Lazy fuk
The slammers. If you need to drop the bar against the ground that hard, perhaps the weights too heavy? Thank you now I'm deaf.
The dirties. Okay fine we all sweat. But for the love of Christ, clean your machine when you're done. I'm not a lover of your *kitten* sweat. Thanks.

^^ This!!
My top two:
Machine hogging while they sit there just texting or whatever it is people with no gym etiquette do - go work out in the high school gym please if you gonna do that.
My biggest peeve is people not wiping machines after them. Its always the really gross and stinky people too. YUCK!!! I always wonder if they are the ones who get regular food poisoning by not washing their hands after the toilet and then cooking0 -
Those who don't wipe their equipment down.
Those who don't close the locker door when they're done.
The nakies in no rush in the locker room.
Gum chewers, I'm overly sensitive to smells.0 -
People who don't wipe the equipment down, followed closely by gym-advisors: Those folk who feel the need to critique your form/pace/cadence/etc2
-
Annoying guys who take over all the weights and walk around like they're He-Man...
I'm like Excuse me She-Ra2 -

So for example, how much weight is TOO much weight? And maybe there's a language barrier here, but I don't know what a she-ra is.-1 -
People that sit on the equipment & frickin text, then get off without even working out.2
-
- People doing rows on the bench press benches. There's like 8 benches by the dumbbells for that.
- Anything but squats in the squat rack (using the bar for deadlifts is alright as long as no one is waiting to squat).
- Circuit people in the weights area. You know the kind that has 4 sets of dumbbells, 2 machines and a bench monopolized for over a half hour.
- The entourage. There always one huge dude that has a posse of 4-5 people who just seem to follow him around and watch him work out. Maybe one or two of them will work in every now and then but mostly they just seem to watch.
- The girl who thinks every dude is hitting on her. I'm just asking if you're using that flat bench.
- The people who manage to turn a 4 person stretching mat into a 2 person mat.
I'm an unapologetic gum chewer. I tend to grind my teeth while exerting myself so the gum acts as a mouthguard and prevents me from ruining my teeth (without looking like a weirdo by actually using a mouthguard). Plus it's just a normal spearmint flavor.MsAmandaNJ wrote: »Gum chewers, I'm overly sensitive to smells.

People who give me dirty looks when I bellow at the top of my lungs on my last rep. . That roar is worth at least 20lbs!2

Glad it helps you, but smelling spearmint (or bubblegum flavour) has ended my workouts because of the nausea it induces. Sorry you grind your teeth.0 -

LMAO ya I got all intense and shite 0 -
The 5 or 6 old timers that play grab *kitten* for 2 hours x 3 days a week. And half of them grab several stations at once. Why the hell do you insist on putting in 5 reps on the bench press and leave your *kitten* all over it, then walk round the basketball court twice, jump in the air on the triceps push down to get momentum, swing barbels for a curl - THEN REPEAT the process?
Then your buddy brings some crappy Bluetooth speaker and plays god awefull crap while lifting. Gwen Stephanie songs, Uptown Girl, Go-Go's. And says he's spent weeks working on the play list.
Your other grab *kitten* buddy has a flat bench covered with barbels in front of a preacher bar he filled but is doing pushu-us in the squat rack in between sets on the bench press.
Damn-it, now I'm pissed off again.0 -
My biggest pet peeve is actually in the locker room when I'm sitting down, leaning over putting on my shoes and old man with the super low balls wants to walk a mere two inches away from my face. I've literally had to duck and move before to avoid getting old balls across my face.6

When I can't stop farting while on cardio equipment!
1 -
The people who are taking up space and equipment and are ON THEIR PHONES THE WHOLE TIME. Passively letting the elliptical whirl around while texting, or WATCHING A MOVIE WHILE USING THE ROWING MACHINE WITH only ONE ARM. Are you flipping kidding me?
People who use their time at the gym to talk on the phone. I am tryin to get in my zone, and you're 3 feet from me on the next machine over blabbing about your grades/weekend/blah blah blah.
The guy who makes rude racial comments at me while I'm working out. Really? That's your best flirting tactic. And...have you checked out my ring finger, or do you not care?0 -
People that hog the squat rack ! And when people hold on the the consol on the treadmill while doing incline.0
-
i dont think legally i am allowed to answer this because i go to THE non judgmental gym
- there is a guy who wears wingtipped shoes with his gym outfit to workout
- people that do not wipe down the equipment
- the sniffing/flirting/ that goes on, christ just do your goddamn exercise and get the hell out
- act normal in the dressing room, youre not a quick change artist and if you happen to see another mans junk it will not turn you instantly gay
but my number one peeve is people who talk to me. i have headphones in for a reason and it is not to see how easily i can remove them to ask you to repeat your question

There is one chick at the gym that ANY and I mean ANY type of weight training she does she MOANS and GRUNTS..... and it does not matter if it is 15pound dumbells or a 45 plate. I know working out is euphoric .... but come on we all don't want to hear you fake an orgasm every time you curl.....
