    When I use to go to the gym I hated it when anyone tried talking to me. I only had my lunch break to get my lifting in. I even wore headphones.

    Like someone else said there is a difference between BO and sweat. I sweat at the gym but I wear deodorant and don't stink like rotten sweat. I'm talking about the people who walk into the gym and smell like 3 week old BO before they have even started working out.

    people who wear obnoxious amounts of perfume/cologne and who do not wipe down the machines after sweating all over them GROSS!!! Do they not see the big sign posted to wipe down the machines? We all just watched you drip sweat for the last hour and then you just walk away as if you're not dripping wet? btw, wiping down the machine with the same towel you just used for your work out doesn't help. Get a clue
    Okay, in with the good air. I'm done venting.
  • One of my pet peeves is people walking BACKWARDS on the treadmill! If you want to do crazy stuff like that (including side walking, etc.), use the indoor track or better yet, go OUTSIDE! One of these days, someone is gonna take a tumble and the ambulance will be there, I know it.

    My only peeve this week is the pair of teenagers sitting on each of the sit-up benches, tapping away on their phones. Want to facebook about how cool you are at the gym? Fine, but get OFF THE DAMN EQUIPMENT if you're going to do so.

    That, and my Blackberry going off while I'm on the treadmill. yes, I use it at the gym, for music and Endomondo. Unfortunately, I haven;t figured out how to turn the phone off without shutting off 3G for Endo. So I silence the phone and hit the "go the hell away" button if/when it rings in my headphones.
