    The PT who trains out of our staff gym. I used to train with her until she and I had a little FB tiff over her fat-shaming. She's a total bag and her attitude stinks. Every time I see her in the gym, which is often, she gives me a nasty look. I actually find it pretty amusing since I've made huge strides since doing my own thing (lost 65 lbs). But just her very presence irritates me, knowing how she looks down on people. Grrrr.

    If you've lost 65 pounds without her help and she's still giving you the stink eye after all that time, then you win. I'd let it go.

    Bad BO coming off the person working out beside me.
    Yes I'm with you on that one! Sometimes it's soo bad that I almost threw up. I was thinking one day going to the dollar store and buy hundreds of deodorant and put a sign up saying "PLEASE use before and after workout, take one FREE" lol

    My biggest pet peeve is that their responses are too far apart.

    I remembered this one pet peeve I posted on a similar thread about kids hanging around a equipment and just talking loud, not even working out. Some dude said I should focus on what I'm doing not the other people.
    I'm telling you, people get butt hurt easily in here.

    Ive got a few...
    But would like to hear yours!
    I am not into peeves, but when guys do not rack their weights, my blood boils.
    I have gotten into fist fights over this which is absurd.
    Now, I just walk up to the offender and say, "hey, you want me to rack your weights""
    That usually moves them to action, and a few actually reply "yes, thanks"..lol

    And I just go rack them - no violence required. Life is too short for that.

    1. When I catch people staring at me. I know they aren't checking me out so that makes it even weirder for me.
    2. When I can't get the machine/bench/equipment I want and nothing that is similar is available either so I wander around looking lost trying to figure out what to do instead.

    Both of these. I have enough social anxiety without worrying about looking like a weirdo at the gym.

    Also, Taking the clips off the bar without unloading it is not sign enough for me that you are done at that station so I'll eye it awkwardly forever waiting to make sure you didn't just dash off for water/a sprint/to do the rest of your seven station circuit.

    When 4 people (usually young lads who look the exact same) use one machine/station. Usually the squat rack to do bicep curls

    I get irritated with loud talkers when I have headphones in. Or people who just sit on machines and surf on their phone.

    I know, it's confusing... but you should probably only go to the gym if you wanna criticize what everyone there does, and take lots of selfies!

    Tell her "I've seen you looking at me. I look great don't I?" Then let it go...

    I workout at home now but when I was a member of a ladies only gym they would talk the whole time and distract me. I really didn't want to be rude but I couldn't focus because they were whining to me about theit sorry lives and how they weren't losing weight. :/

    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/etc

    Oof! I completely forgot to mention the unsolicited advice. I hate it. You would think people would know that everyone hates unsolicited advice.

    I so agree!!!!! I am trying to work out and That's all I hear, I want to workout!

    :lol: okay well... lol. Oh man. I might lose friends on this one.

    The try hards. Why are you wearing a full face of makeup and a club outfit? We're at the gym babe. But still...you look cute I guess.

    The pickup artists. "Don't I know you?". No you don't fukin know me, I'm here to work out...get away from me, I will never be your gf and if I wanna be I will stare at your backside for several seconds straight. Bye.

    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.

    The end :heart:

    Lmao.

    Keepin' it real. Love that! So true-all aspects. My favorite was when a guy approached me and asked me if I wanted to "maybe go get some ice-cream or a drink after the gym". I'm like, "Uh-hello, I'm on minute 42 on the treadmill, sweating like a prostitute in church and you are asking me if I want to go get ice cream?" WTF

    Talking while sitting at a machine. Throwing weights around. Singing out loud. Talking in general. Taking weights. Asking to work in when sizes and weights are totally different. Wearing jeans to work out. Not going all the way down for squats
