I know there have been plenty of these threads and there will be undoubtably be some people who will say, "stop being negative, etc" but I dont care.
When you spend as much time as I do in gym theres has to be somewhere to vent about the one person who drives you nuts. Plus I know majority of you, understand and also require this need to vent. ALSO its freaking hilarious... :laugh:
Right, theres this guy in his 50's, who skips. Not just any skipping, but skipping in peak time in a very limited stretching space and has very nearly taken my eye out a handful of times. He just skips and skips and doesn't actually give a damn who he almost de-brains. Then to make things worse, he throws in these fancy moves and then when he finishes his failed attempt at these moves looks in the mirror to see who was watching and then if he happens to successfully make eye contact he smiles and approaches you and tries to teach you how to "skip like him". I cannot stand that. Nobody was watching you dude. The rest of us were busy with our workouts, so stop looking for attention and get on with it.
Words just cannot describe how much I would love to take that skipping rope and smack him with it.
So your turn, describe that one person who goes to your gym that makes you want to lose it.
:flowerforyou:
I completely misunderstood what you meant by skipping until the second to last sentence. I had this image of this 50 year old dude skipping like a school girl at the gym. Talk about a good laugh.
Exact same thing here!! I was wondering why he had to go to the gym to do that. :laugh:0 -
smelly dude who always wears the same outfit and apparently never washes it. OH. MY. GOD. I can smell you from across the room, and it's quite vomit-inducing when I'm out of breath from doing burpees. Also, there isn't enough Lysol in the world that will make me get on the bench after you've used it.

Last Saturday, there was this big puffed up dude who had like 235 on the bench press and was walking around super puffy, asking people to spot him. I was doing chest adjacent to this and was watching in the mirror and laughing to myself. He finally finds this guy to spot him and he gets all squirmy and super serious - like he is a weightlifting Axl Rose. So, anyway - he gets it up and then .... does one rep. (1) fokking rep. The guy spotting him was oblivious and just went back to his business. This happened like 6 times. One rep x 6. With like 8 minutes of rest. Dude, I"m half your size and I'm not getting spotted for 235 x 6. My gripe is he was tying up the bench (we only have one) for WAY too long and the 80 minutes I was there he barely did anything but walk around all puffy... Maybe there is a value for that under CARDIO.
I actually feel better.0 -

THIS IS HIM!!! just picture him doing this, holding a freaking skipping rope! WHAT A DOHNUT!0 -
when i'm on the stationary bike, pedaling away, listening to my music....there is this lady that has to come and sit on the one next to me, and sit there and try to talk to me the WHOLE time....HELLO...I have my headphones on for a reason!!0

For no one to be watching him, you sure do know a lot about what he is doing. Also, what the heck is debraining?0
-
All of these are great reminders why I gave up the gym and took up pavement...
I really don't miss all of these people. I think their clones all went to my gym on one occasion or another.0 -
there are other people in the gym?0
-
That is the cutest mental image ever. I wasn't imagining a jump rope at all, just a 50yo man frolicking up and down the gym like a young girl in a flower field.0

edit: There's this one girl... She must be in her early twenties. She comes to the gym dressed REALLY skimpy. I mean whatever floats your boat, doesn't bother me. But then she sits on the hip abductor (Or the gynecology machine as I like to call it
)
and she talks to aaaaaaaaaall the good looking men around, while sitting, not actually doing the exercise, just at the widest possible position so her legs are spread out like a gymnast. LOL. It just looks INSANE. I've only seen her actually do it twice, and both times she isn't doing it properly, anyway... Oh geez. Definitely is entertaining to watch the men trip over themselves to talk to her though.
Sooo... which gym is this at? Just so I uh... know which gym to avoid?0 -
Hahaha... that guy sounds awesome. Why am I hearing that 80's song 'Safety Dance' in my head while picturing this guy? lol
I have a few at my gym - all in the pool. Fist there's this group - It's a family I think - like 8 people, all extremely overweight. They are all annoying as hell and stand in the deepest part of the pool (where all the people actually exercising swim) and just stand around in the water laughing (or cackling - it's the loudest, most annoying laughs I've ever heard) or just basically hogging up the pool and being rude. Seriously, it's like a trailer park cookout and there all just there for the gossip and flatulence (more like fatulance). It drives me and everyone else there nuts. It's seriously like the trailer park version of the Klumps. Even more annoying is that they stand around talking about how good they are doing with their exercise, when none of them are even exercising in the pool - just standing around in everyone's way. I hate them.. passionately.
There's also this Asian woman who comes there all the time and swims like a duck through the water, and with every stroke, she takes a huge gulp of water in her mouth and then spews it out like an italian fountain. It is SO incredibly disgusting and unsanitary (for her and the people in the pool). First off - who would ever want to even get oublic pool water even near their mouth - you know that shiz is full of nasties. Even worse though, is that the rest of us now get to bathe in her germs. I want to hurl just thinking about it. I finally said something to her about it being grotesque and she just smiles and goes, hee hee, no speaky English (even though she speaks perfect English and had no trouble with the word "b*tch" which I heard her mumble as I swam to a less contaminated area of the pool.0 -

I'm 47 and skip - the kind without the rope - with my two girls... one is four and one almost seven. They get the biggest kick out of it! Turns heads in the mall, too!0 -

You, sir, are awesome. That is all.0 -

hahahahaha! true! he annoys me so much. Its like a car wreck, you know you should look but you just cant look away. I have been trapped by watching him before. Last time i watched him skip. he made me endure 45 minutes of skipping tutorials and then proceeded to teach me how to do push ups. At one point i got so desperate to be free i said, "just got to go to the bathroom. Excuse me." to which he said, "No problem, I will be working out a while yet." :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:
Also de-braining. To remove ones brain from ones head. opposite of braining- which would be to place the brain inside an individuals head.
I also may have made those words up. But what the hell, Shakespear made up thousands of words and look where he is today. :laugh:0 -

I'm a member at a very large club in my area and for some reason all the old men love to walk around the locker room slinging their little thingies around. Not like they have just got tenout of the shower and walked back to their locker to get dressed. They brush their teeth, blow-dry their hair, have group discussions, floss, etc butt naked. Why? lol
Yes, and when one is talking to the other, one will always put their outside leg up on the bench while they talk. i could never figure that out. Is it an offer? What the deal? People are weird.
This!
Apparently, the ability to give even a single *kitten* is among the first faculties to deteriorate in our old age. I'm going to have so much fun when I'm old enough to get away with that kind of thing. (Not necessarily standing around naked in a locker room, but you know, similar things.)0 -

^THIS!
I met this man for the first time today, while I was on the elliptical. I was there first and he gets on the machine right next to me! I tried so hard to tough it out, but I started getting a headache and gagging from the stench. I kept my head turned the entire time and he kept looking over at me. I was hoping when I abruptly stopped that he'd ask me "do I smell or something?" because I would have gladly told him the truth!0 -

It's a small gym in Montreal in case you're in the area 0 -
Two guys in my gym doing weights, constantly measuring there arms and giving each other the patented slap on the *kitten*
with the booming " YEAH !!! YOU KILLED IT FAM !!! shouting across the gym to see who's looking and who gives a s**t !!
Just kiss each other and get it over with !! ha ha0 -
People who curl in the squat rack. Fckers there are only 2 squat racks. Get out of there.0

I'll never understand people who talk on the phone while they're on cardio machines. I was always under the impression that if you're able to talk a lot, you're not working hard enough... Plus, these people always seem to have to YELL into their phones.0
