    Two ot them.

    1) The guy who weighs himself on the gym scale naked.

    2) The guy who stands at the sink, stark naked, and shaves, while leaning against the counter top. Gross.

    That sweaty person who never wipes down the machines.
    And the girl who wears shorts that look like panties.

    When there is a ROW of EMPTY machines, and you HAVE to get on the one next to me! REALLY? REALLY? That, and people who don't wipe down after their workout! EW. GROSS. that is why I always wipe down before I get on.

    People who don't follow the order in the circuit training room. They are numbered for a reason!!

    Also, the guy who carries his pillow around. I still haven't figured out why. :noway:

    When I'm in the pool and people decide to wander into my lane and just stay there (not swimming or anything, just standing there), or when they start swimming in the same lane in the opposite direction, I mean really, how hard is it to see that we're just going to collide? This happens a LOT too. So frustrating.

    The guys that just walk around naked. Shaving, sitting on the benches, standing in front of the hand drier to dry themselves off. Man they just suck.

    when someone leaves their towel or water bottle or notepad on the lifting bench to keep other people from using it until they come back! It's fine if you are grabbing your water or something, but don't leave your crap on the bench for 5 minutes while you work at a different machine, just because you want it to be available when you are done. RUDE.

    When people come into the gym and expect you to get off the machine when clearly you just got on. Then they hover and hover to see the time on your machine! And the sweat is another nasty one. YOu see it dripping and they don't bother to clean it up.

    Oh whoops sjadams01...I always watch the food network while I work out :)

    My pet peeve is a crowded gym. I love going early weekend nights and no one is there. I don't feel like anyone is awkwardly watching how uncoordinated I am, and I can do weights easily without waiting!

    The guy at the pool who rests for 5 minutes and then races me for a lap, all while I'm just warming up. If you want to race, let me know!
