    In the classes where we use steps, and the first people into the room space their steps so far apart, even though they KNOW there are a lot of other people that need to fit in. And I don't mean people who come in late...just people who aren't pushing to get in the room first. Then they give you dirty looks when you try to find a place for your step. Look around people - when the room is close to capacity, you can't create a huge moat of space around yourself. Also, these same people take two or three sets of weights, which leaves nothing but sets of one pounders or ten pounders for the rest of us. AND the instructors who seem oblivious to it all.

    When people constantly stare at you because you're losing the fight with the cross trainer on level 10 and they're walking around just trying out all of the different weight machines.

    People that complain about me lifting weights THEY think are excessive. Like seriously, I've been doing this a while - leave me alone. Especially when they have clearly never done any weight lifting in their lives.

    YES! I actually called someone out for this a couple months back. Typical beefcake *kitten* left six 45's on the lat pulldown. I put them away, walked over to him and said, "Next time, why don't you put the weights away yourself, rather than leaving it for me to do?"

    I don't like when people don't wipe down their machine or try to strike up a conversation with me when I have my headphones on. I love how clean my gym manager keeps my gym.

    -girls not using dbs heavier than 15lbs
    -big guys not lifting weights but on cardio machines (you're gonna be a stick whenever IF you're succesful)
    -guys that don't even struggle lifting their weights, you gotta let your heart out. When you fall unconcious, then you're doing it right
