    Oh, and I'm also the one in the ratty thrift-store workout clothes because I really couldn't give a rat's *kitten* what you think about how I look when I'm gettin' my sweat on.

    Me too!!! :)

    I'm the one who, while walking on the treadmill, starts laughing out loud at the closed captioning during the Ellen Show or Kathie Lee and Hoda show or even ESPN. I love doing my cardio, so usually by the middle of my workout, I'm starting to get into a good mood, so I'm the annoying "smiley" girl sweating through my workout, just smiling and cheery for no reason.

    I'm not embarrassed that I dance on the treadmill, fist pumps and all, and try not to fall off. Once my friend was on the treadmill next to me and we went all out together. Turn the speed and volume up and just goooo!

    I'm that annoying one at the gym who makes a variety of noises when I'm pushing through the pain. Grunts, groans, load breathing, laughing...whatever it takes to push through. Lol a few people looked at me today when I started laughing through a stretch.

    I'm not ashamed to say that I sing along with the iPod on my rides. Also, I am that girl who will tell you to get off the cell phone if you're having a nice long (and usually loud) chat on the treadmill next to me...if you're on the phone, you're not working out and you might as well just go to the lounge! It distracts me and is a huge gym pet peeve. >: |
    I am super-dorky device girl. Because I am often on call, I carry a pager, a cell phone, and my iPod with earphones.
    :drinker: :bigsmile:

    Ah, the Box of Tears. Someday I will have one of my very own.

    I should make clear, I do not take calls while I am working out. If I am paged, I stop my workout, and leave the workout area to take the call. I'm dorky, but not an a**hole! :flowerforyou:

    I also sweat all over the treadmill, the belt, the base, the handles, the screen, the whole thing needs to be wiped down.

    Make sure you get as sweaty as humanly possible and then immediately hug a family member. If you do not do this, I will never forgive you.

    I do, if my nephew is over I will give him a big hug he's like three and he goes Uncle Jay Jay you are all sweaty and then I turn around and fart in his face from all the sugar free gum I eat, not really but I do hug him and he does respond that way.

    jeans are against dress code at my gym, yours doesn't care?

    Mine only cares if you are wearing shoes that will tear up the floor / equipment.

    I'm the annoying one that plays their music too loud.
    If I'm not playing music, I'm watching a tv show on my phone, which turns me into the annoying one that laughs out loud at what you think is nothing.

    I hunt people down who don't wipe down their machines. I will throw a rag and disinfectant bottle at everyone and call them slobs for not wiping down their machines, as I discuss how discusting herps/cold sores are with them

    I'm the chick that takes the corner treadmill so I can practice making faces into the wall mirrors. You may think I'm joking, but I'm not. Through 30 minutes of cardio, I listen to my mp3 player, look at the mirror, and practice making a variety of strange faces that would rouse the suspicions of the men in white coats, LOL!

    lol awesome

    I am the annoying one who:

    1. Video Records my main lifts with a nice video camera and tripod setup, and brings a camera in case one of my training partners might have a cool shot!

    2. Hogs the squat rack (including the surrounding 3 feet, makes a bench out of those step things, and even does wall sits and squats) and carries around three huge duffel bags of gear (knee wraps, bench shirts, wrist wraps, chains, forearm equipment, squat suits, exercise bands, heavy chains, belts (multiple kinds, varies per lift).... etc. That doesn't include my personal clothes in the locker room already!

    3. Makes loud noises frequently. Only during heavy lifts, but not only mine! I root on or LOUDLY inform my training partners of things during heavy lifts. If I yell while driving through the top of my bench or squat, or even dead too bad! At least I am pushing myself!

    4. I frequently bring outside drinks (like yesterdays Coffee) into the gym. That doesn't make sense to most people, but my caffeine addicted head hurts if I don't get my coffee! If would rather slightly "dehydrate" myself so I dont have a horrible nagging headache that gets worse and worse during my two-three hour gym session!

    5. I walk around the cardio machines, back and forth deciding which tv is the best one to plop myself under. I will sit or stand on a machine, then leave if I don't like the view of whichever tv I've spotted! I seriously don't even pick a machine before-hand... it all depends on whats playing on the tv screens!

    6. My HIIT training session was enormously loud and annoying! I can hardly run fast, I look and feel like I am going to collapse any second off that treadmill and look ridiculous... but oh well! I am burning lots of calories!

    I am sure there is more... but that's me! I bet I annoy a LOT! But its okay, that's how you get world records :D

    I've answered my phone while on the elliptical. I don't have a full on conversation, but I've chatted for a minute or two. If someone told me to get off my phone, I'd just give them a dirty look and keep talking. That's just rude. I wouldn't go up to the person who has their elliptical on 1 and is reading a magazine and tell them to go sit in the lounge because they're not working out, because it's not my business!

    I'm that annoying woman on the stairmaster or stationary bike next to you who mouths the words to the music I'm listening to on my I-Pod-- and occasionally accidentally sings out loud without realizing it.


    What annoying person are YOU ?!

    LOL I don't need to read any further into this thread because I do this too!! Don't think I've ever sang out loud, though.
