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?

Haha right? Especially when you're hauling it on the treadmill with headphones in. Hi, not here for social time, here to get my bod in shape. Thaaaanks.0 -
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-0 -
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.0

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 0
-
People that don't wear deodorant or wear too much perfume. Can't decide which is worse!? LOL!0

****ers that throw down the dumbells.0

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?"0 -

Guilty... but I don't stay on the phone forever. :blushing:0 -

THIS! It's so disgusting!0 -
The guy that sweats WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to much and leaves puddles. Also, the guy that gets on the treadmills or what have you and makes all kinds of loud noises... sounds like gagging on his snot!!!!!! UGGGGG sooo freakin gross!!!0
-
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.0
-
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.0 -
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?0

THEY'RE MEN. THEY NEED TO ASSERT THEIR DOMINANCE. GRRRRRRRAWWWRRRR.0 -
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.0

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!0

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...

Meant to also quote slamming of dumbells0 -
Guys that think their workout is more important than a girls (aka try to 'jump in' during sets because they cant wait the 5min its gonna take me to finish on the machine)......
AND Girls that wear more makeup to the gym than I wear to a first date - seriously get a grip, you're beautiful we get it, but lets not try and look FLAWLESS during a gym sess.....
Gym and childbirth, 2 times in life ur allowed to be unattractive.0 -
People who put on heaps of spray deodorant or cologne/perfume before getting on a treadmill next to you. It chokes the life out of me.
Seriously, people, I would rather smell fresh sweat than cloying aerosol smells!0 -

And people who don't wipe off the machines, AND the muscleheads who are so muscle-bound they can't hold their arms down, and hog the free-weights section.0 -

UGH YESSSS!! I went to a kickboxing class and all the girls and on like done up outfits, curled hair, and LOADS of makeup. Like, fresh makeup. I understand having your day makeup on, but it was like, fresh eyeliner, mascara, bronzer, etc etc etc. (Two of them are the reigning beauty queens of the state. Give me a break..)0 -
My pet peeve is when the gym "reserves" rows and rows of treadmills for their classes between the hours of __ &__, and it turns out that between the hours of ___ &____ no one is using them.0

I feel like this is more or less just bashing people. Eh everyone needs to workout in their own way.0
