What is your gym pet peeve?

sfcrocker

My main one is people who sit on the weight machines for 10+ minutes playing on their phones when other people are waiting to use them.

I dont smell the greatest after a 2 hour cardio sesh but theres always that one SUPER STINNNKYY/PISS/B.O person in the gym, huge pet peeve when they start working out next to you and you cant even breathe.

When that one person looks at you every time you move. Oh wait that is me.

None. I don't go to gym to worry about what others are doing, I go for my goals.

People who don't re-rack their weights is number one. People who can't put the same plates together, 45's, 35's, etc. People who sit on a piece of equipment for ten minutes between sets.

gym and bathrooms not being clean

People that want to chit chat. I'm there to work out, not to socialize.

People who insist on giving you bad lifting advice that is contrary to everything you've read and learned.

Centipedes taking up all the equipment. Don't even get me started when it's their leg day

SoDamnHungry

People who don't wipe the seat off when they're done and leave it covered in butt sweat.

I'm an unintentional creeper, too. I automatically look at things that are interesting!!! Can't help it.

People who use the assisted pull up/dip machine for leg exercises.... thats not whats its for and there is a machine across the gym thats actually made for that.

Another vote for not re-racking weights. Bonus points if said weights are on a barbell 6ft or more off of the ground and I have to go get a box to be able to do it myself safely.

Also not a fan of people trying to talk to me in the middle of a set.

While I would normally agree with this, there is one newish guy in my gym who when he is doing deadlifts or bent over barbell rows lets the barbell hit the floor so loud, that it is louder than anything I have ever heard in my life. that has become my pet peeve.

I am easily annoyed so I have a lot. lol. But the people who go to my gym are mostly very considerate. The only issues/pet peeves I've had recently are:
- People who try to take up more than one piece of equipment. There's one guy who consistently tries to take the ONLY squat rack and the ONLY power rack at the same time because he's super-setting or something. I have to constantly kick him out.
- People who hop on the treadmill right next to mine when there are 20 other identical, open treadmills. Go away.
- Anyone who doesn't wipe their bench/equipment clean.

There is one particular guy at my gym that has a ponytail and I call him "Stinkbro" (like a Pokemon because I'm weird) and I swear to God he follows me around the gym. I thought the first couple times it was just because I caught him maybe on an off day of showering, but nope. He just stinks. You stink, bro.

Weight droppers. I hate hearing the sound through my already excessively loud music. If you're strong enough to lift it, you are strong enough to set it down.

They started doing a boot camp style class on tues/thurs mornings. During prep for the class, 2 or three guys swarm the weight room and take all the 10 - 20 lb dumbbells (so pretty much the only one's I use). If you don't have enough equipment for your class, don't have a class. I've been trying to be proactive and grab the ones I need before that happens but hording dumbbells is just not my thing.

If "People Watching" was an Olympic sport I'm pretty sure I'd win the gold

Oh this thread again -_- I see the usual answers but awaiting following answers:
-women who wear tight clothes
-women who wear makeup

Shouldn't be long now.
