Annoyances at the gym!

Annoyances at the gym! Well, they aren't annoyances to me but....Guys who wear manbuns, yoga pants and toe shoes at the same time make me giggle. Kinda hard to not laugh in the middle of my set. Guys that are puffer fish, peacocks or guys with imaginary lat syndrome make me laugh too. Sometimes they hear me and make their way to the movie room/safe space to gather their emotions after being offended by my giggle. People who whine about weights being dropped are annoying, these are the same people that text or instagram while occupying a machine. Women that wear a lot of makeup all dressed up but don't really workout to break a sweat and take selfies while occupying a machine. We have two gyms owned by the same company, one is more of a social club type atmosphere, the other is a hardcore noisy gym for serious lifters. Oh yeah, I don't care if you wipe down the equipment. I wash my hands or take a shower afterwards. I didn't wear a helmet when riding a bike as a kid either, also drank out of the water hose outside the house when thirsty and I didn't die. Really the only ones that annoy me are the politically correct easily offended people that complain about everything. You can do whatever you want in the gym around me, I don't care. You do you and I'll do me.8

Men wear toe shoes at your gym?
Every blue moon you'll have a guy come in wear those rubber shoes that look like toe socks,lol. They don't last long though. There are a few manbun guys though.

Fat is short form for stupid, lazy, unworthy, gross, dirty, etc.
If you believe that a handful of mean rude people is equal to an entire society mocking you day in day out, then we can agree to disagree.
Again, 70% of society IS overweight themselves. The people who are fit are who is "a handful".
And yet are 99% of the media...imagine that! Again, this is off topic.
I sincerely apologize, it was pretty far back but was it you who claimed that fat people were clogging up grocery store aisles? Anyway somebody did, as I'd they were actually bigger than their shopping carts @.@
I just want to address this, since Steven didn't. No, that wasn't him.1 -

Funny story, i like to bring up often... my boyfriend decided to get some vibrams a few years ago. I don't know if he has very sensitive feet but he could only wear them for a couple hours without getting pain, especially walking on flat surfaces.
He also had a similar issue a couple years later when we bought a home that had *only* hardwood floors.

I do like the people that cut the treamill up high then jump on only to be shot off the back,lol.3

Actually people who like to deadlift or squat barefoot will wear those since most gym dont allow bare feet.
There is a purpose.1 -
I still laugh quietly as to not offend the manbun guy with imaginary lat syndrome.1

Most wear socks or squat shoes. Lot of guys just wear socks.1 -
Can you clean Vibrams? They just seem really gross with all the sweat and foot skin rubbing off in there.0

Serious lifters don't use them. Of course they probably have never tried them either.

Ok. People don't make fun of fat people. They are generally accepted as equals. Gotcha.
Skinny shaming is the real problem.
I never said fat shaming doesn't exist.
I am arguing that your argument that because there's a preponderance of fat shaming, it somehow makes fat shaming "wronger" than thin shaming. If body shaming is wrong, ALL body shaming is wrong.
Tangentially, I do feel that the occurrences of overt fat shaming are indeed overstated and tend to, for the most part, happen in childhood and adolescence. Maybe on college campuses. Adult fat shaming is likely limited to the scourge of social media, not real life interaction.
This is not to say idiots don't exist. They exist in all forms. Bigots of all kinds abound in society. It's all wrong. No wrong gets to be wronger, in my eyes, because when someone is hurt, who are you to say their pain is any less?1 -
