    Guys that don't re-rack their free weights. Especially when their max weight is lower than my starting warm up. Having to re-rack their puny 25lb weights to put on my 45lb ones on is irritating. Especially when I have to add the 25s on the next set.

    I HATE the aftermath of the water aerobics class. Puddles of water EVERYWHERE, including in the bathroom stalls. Come on ladies, DRY YOURSELF OFF! I don't know how many times I've almost slipped and cracked my head open because of all the puddles.

    1. Women that wear too much makeup
    2. Women that curl 2 lb dumbbells ...
    3. Women that talk too freaking much instead of working out.
    4. People that do not re-rack their weights.
    5. People that get their sweat all over a machine and don't wipe it down after.
    6. The guy that stares me down while I'm spinning.

    1. When the men give me this mean glare everytime I go lift weights...... I give them this look back like "Girls rule"....lol
    2. When people hold a conversation right by you when your on the machine... Like it's very uncomfortable that your talking near my butt while I'm on the stair master.... It's so weird...
    3. People who eat in the gym while on the machines

    When the person in front of me is watching the Food Network.... Today they were making an awesome looking dessert.... sigh!

    They always have this channel on at my gym...on the big screen! I am always like "WTF?!" I guess they are ensuring they stay in business.

    Not racking your weights, putting away your plyo boxes, or tires
    Interrupting me in a set
    Interrupting me between sets (if the headphones are on, they are on for a reason)
    Wearing so much perfume or cologne or perfume that I feel like im back in the CS chamber at boot camp
    "Bears" working out without a shirt on
    Not wiping down the bench or bag after you sweat all over it
    Blocking the mirror to pose when im trying to correct my form
    oh..and taking the squat rack to do curls

    But really, im a heck of a nice guy and glad to help!

    Yes! I hate that, the girl who works next to me with bright blue eyeshadow and their hair blown out. Seriously?

    Also, Anyone have those girls at the gym who have pounds of make up on and never actually go on a machine? They just hold their water bottle and walk around eyeing all the guys LOL

    Ohhh one more, loud grunting and throwing the weights down, then looking around the gym like your trying to pick a fight, after an isolation exercise...I can see if your squatting but doing a concentration curl...try again, no one is impressed.

    All of the above.

    Dropping the weights on the floor. The only weight dropping noise should be from deadlifts.

    ^^^ YES! I about started cracking up when I saw these 2 girls at a half marathon completely made up and getting ready to run. I really wish I would have seen what they looked liked afterward.
    And EXACTLY if you are still cute you didn't work hard enough! :laugh:
