Your Gym Pet Peeves!

People who try to talk while I'm trying to put in work.
It doesn't matter who they are or what they look like...The gym isn't social hour for me, it's a place of business.0 -
People who stare at you all the time or keep walking past you to look
Sorry, that was me.
Well if all the ladies didn't look so hot I wouldn't have this problem.0 -
Totally, along with the effort grunting : (
Try deadlifting 300 lbs and let me know if youre quiet as a mouse.0 -

Yeah, grunting doesn't bother me much. I don't really grunt but it's not a big deal to me. It annoys me less than the chick who picks up the 2.5lb dumbell and does 50 reps of curls.0 -
Sorry lect, but I fart lmao. I think it's the increased protien intake:( I will move away or try to warn others, but I don't go running for the bathroom because i'd spend a lot of time in there.
OH ANOTHER PEEVE.... people you take dumbells to do supersets when the dumbells are limited. They can walk over to the rack and lift too so that I can get mine in... jeeze. I just need to go to a bigger gym lol.Let me count the ways: LOL
People who wear too much cologne and it gives me an instant headache
People who don't wear deodorant
People who stare at you all the time or keep walking past you to look
People who don't wipe off their machine
People who use 2-3 machines at the same time
People who talk to you too much
Girls who wear almost nothing... Keep the butt crack and cleavage for your man (or woman)
OMG People who fart. Sooo grose, go in the bathroom
As far as the person who said something about sweating, I sweat like crazy around my neck and sometimes back, but I always bring a towel. You cant help that and I am working my butt off to make every minute count!

I agree with this SO much.. I see so many girls FLYING on the elliptical machine, to the point where its making noises, yet they don't seem to be sweating as hard as I am. I wish people would learn about the incline/resistance settings on the machine versus borderline breaking them0

I'm pretty easygoing, but I don't love excessive talk in the gym either! I really want to get in and out and keep up my pace while I'm there. I'm not unfriendly, but there are several members who I believe come primarily for social reasons and I can't catch up with everyone every time I visit. But I do, because I'm passive!
Other than that, the guy who often rewears smelly, unwashed gym clothes that were obviously left damp with prior workout's sweat in his locker or gym bag. I cannot believe he cannot smell himself. Yuck.0 -
people that don't know what appropriate gym attire is...............STAB!0

And the worst peeve is probably talkers. When I'm on the treadmill trying to focus on running, and the two girls next to me are strolling at 2.0mph gossiping it grinds my gears! Go talk anywhere else, but not next to me. I'm talkative as all hell, but not when I'm trying to get a workout in.0

People who don't wipe off their machine. SICK!!
People who think they have a claim on a certain machine. Seriously, I went to a Spin class the other day for the first time and a lady gave me the stank eye the whole time because I was on HER bike.
Oh, and I also sweat a lot. And yes, I drip. Sorry about that. I wipe it up though!0 -
People that have time to read or hold a conversation while working out. If you can do both of those then you aren't working hard enough! I'm jus sayin!0

I love bringing my Sony cassette walkman to the gym! LOL! I don't go to the gym to socialize, just to workout and get on with my life.I don't like that people don't interact anymore.
When I first started going to Gyms 25 years ago, no one brought their Sony cassette Walkman. There would be one radio station playing in the background and that was it. So you could actually meet people and make small talk.
Now everyone has a TV right in front of them and headphones on so unless you already know someone, you never will meat them.
I have been on the treadmill next to some people for years and I only know them by names I make up;
1. He/She(debated for years, now I know its a woman)
2. Bearded Guy
3. Lawyer/Accountant Guy
4. Nice @ss
5. Nicer @ss
etc.....0 -
Loogies in the water fountain >:( eeeewwww!0
-
People who screech their inane conversations to each other. If I can hear you over my max volume Skrillex tunes then you are way too loud and I want you to go away.0

So this isn't just me? I have a ton of made up names for people. I'm married but some of the eye candy in there...just wow. LOL I can look at the menu just as long as I eat dinner at home right? hehe

Men. sigh...
I don't mind normally, people are going to look at each other but its when it starts to get creepy and excessive. There is one guy in particular, he will turn around on the elliptical to stare at me while I am on the treadmill behind him for however long I am on, could be 20 minutes, could be an hour. He almost never looks away, usually only if I look at him and then once I look away he does it again. I have told my husband about him just in case this guy goes mental...LOL. Recently I have been giving him dirty looks and it doesn't seem to work very good. Anyhow, I will just kick him in the head if he tries anything.
You don't strike me as one of those guys...LOL I know your just being like a typical man...;)0 -
The only thing that bugs me is when the wipes for wiping down the machines are empty, I don't like leaving a machine without wiping it down. Otherwise, I really don't notice anything or anyone at the gym. I put my headphones on and get in the zone. Although, I do like to see people who are in shape when I'm working out, so that's the only thing that I notice, for two reasons- 1. it's motivational, reminds me of what I'm working towards and 2. It's nice to know that they are working hard to look that way and it's not just because they're "lucky" lol.0
