Mine? When all the treadmills are taken and someone is just walking on one while texting (for a long period of time). Yes, I text on the treadmill, but I also get my workout in and get done.

What about you? :)

    Guys trying to hit on you. It's just awkward at the gym to me. I'm sweaty, tired, and annoyed. Shoo. LOL
    And yes, when people don't wipe off their machines....Okay, okay, so I don't do it either... -FAil-

    When people are talking on their cell phones when on the machines! So annoying! I'm here to work out, not listen to your conversations.

    When someone leaves their notebook, or water bottle, or towel on the weight bench or machine while they are off doing several other things. drives me NUTS. I just want to knock their stuff off in one big swoop like a 5 year old. Don't worry, I never do :)

    Old guys grunting loudly walking at 2.5 miles an hour... Not attractive...

    People who don't wipe off machines

    People who hop on the machine you were about to use in the circuit without asking "Were you going to use this?"

    People who bring a book to read because they are taking so long between sets. And raquetball players...they are like some sad old mans biker gang lingering around the gym all morning, hogging all the space in front of the courts, never breaking a sweat.

    guys getting their swell on. you don't need to check yourself out in the mirror after every set, bro.


    i actually never see those guys unless i'm walking through the machine area. i stick to the squat rack. i've been going to my gym for about a month now, and i've never seen anyone but myself do a dead lift.

    My pet peeves are when women have less clothes on and most of the time they are just walking around doing nothing. Put some clothes on people and do something. You pay 30 dollars a month to just walk around?

    We have a cinema room at my gym - watch a movie while you work out. Yesterday I went in and two women were carrying on a loud conversation... that I put up with for a while. Finally I piped up "Hey, we're trying to watch the movie" They stopped but I felt like such a b*tch. There is a whole other area they could have been using and talking, but nope - they went to the movie room.

    when people are "working out" and they are on their cell phones!! sitting there chatting, and the only thing they are working is their jaw. Put the phone down and workout for crying out loud. I think of my work out as my mini vacation, no phones allowed. It is MY time!

    smelly people

    people who don't sweat, at all. (like seriously?)

    the girl in the locker room who walks around in her pink thong & bra and feels the need to bend over in my face at every opportunity (barf - oh and OF COURSE she has those white lines under her butt cheeks that the tanning bed never reaches...)

    people who take the spray bottle to spray their machine. NO, you spray the paper, then wipe the paper on the machine. (ok, I guess I can't complain, they ARE cleaning at least)

    that girl who runs like a chicken (with her little bird wings) - more weird than annoying.

    people who leave big globs of hair in the shower.

    WOW, got carried away... ;)
