    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

    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.

    Sorry but I laughed so hard at this.

    I get annoyed when people get in my way while I'm taking selfies. And when people walk in front of the camera when I'm taking video. Also, when the wifi at the gym is being crappy, but the ceilings are steel or something so I don't get great service inhibiting my ability to post on MFP, Facebook and Instagram. Also, people who think heavy lifting doesn't require rest periods.

    Lol oh you are great !!!

    When people use the weight area for circuit training. There are 2 rooms you can do that in. They use the flat bench for a step, when there's a room with step aerobics...and drag stuff from other areas to the weight area. They are monopolizing equipment and generally just in the way, wanting to be seen. Its ridiculous. If floor mats were intended to be used in the weight area thats where the gym would keep them. The ones that do sprints or walking lunges in the weight area make me want to accidently trip them!
