    I go to the gym for myself so I focus on nothing but myself. I don't care what other people are doing at the gym. There are more important things than watching what some girl does or doesnt do with men at the gym.

    OK this happened a few years ago. After an early morning workout I am in the sauna and a fellow walks in with a water bottle. After a couple of minutes he asks if it is OK to water the stones. Yeah no problem the bucket and ladle are on the floor next to the heater. This clown takes a mouth full of water from his bottle and spits it on the stones.

    When I said what the ^#%^#, he looks at me and says "whats wrong?"

    This ^^^ when I go by myself I don't look at anyone but me in the mirror and the tv on the cardio machines.
    But yesterday I did make a mental note of one girl who looked very fashion coordinated for the gym.
    Pink bright running shoes, darker grey pants and a same color pink top. Looked really cute.

    When the old guys are standing at the sink, drying their balls with the gym supplied hair dryers...

    ^^^ This or banging their balls against the scale post ...eww

    Or as I am tying my shoes to leave for the day, they are standing right THERE & their balls almost hit me..
    Tyler if its the same old man maybe you should turn him in lol he might be hitting on you

    Nope, it's the same group of 6 or so old guys.

    They come in, just to stand in the locker room naked and bullsh*t.

    Yea this happens at pretty much every gym... It's like a damn epidemic

    Hate to break it to ya fellas....but this is not just limited to old men. The older women at my gym do the same thing. They walk around the locker room naked like they own the place. If I wanted to see naked people, I'd go to a strip club. But I think the WORST is when they sit down on the locker room benches completely naked. Makes me want to vomit. And what happened to the elderly being modest?!?

    So true... I see it all the time and in the Sauna too... Really gross...

    Fat guys lifting weights instead of getting on the treadmill

    I would point out that you can burn fat more efficiently by adding muscle. So fat guys lifting weights makes sense, especially since you can't do specific exercises to target fat in any one location.
    People who wear their sunglasses in the gym

    I have considered doing this. :glasses:

    When there is a limited amount of treadmill, and there is nothing but lazy *kitten* people walking at a very slow pace! Even if you put it on an incline, walking on a treadmill will not do enough to really help! Take your *kitten* to the pavement and speed walk sweetheart! I’m here to run!

    Can't stand it. There's one guy who always wears his and where's these knee high socks. Must've seen it in a hip hop video.

    Seriously. Running can also be done outside, fyi.

    Only things that bother me are folks who don't re-rack and loud cell-phone talkers. Nothing else affects me. OK, actually, the people who stand in the front row at Zumba watching themselves in the mirror, all pouty and serious like they are auditioning for a Broadway show, bug me, but I recognize this is my problem.

    Your right. And I do 95% of the time. But when I see the same people EVERY SINGLE DAY....NEVER DOING ANYTHING ELSE. Once again, pure laziness.

    What gets me even more is when they are on there for more then 30 mins. Its called sharing kids! Respect for others around you!

    Agreed :) everyone is there for own reasons, no need to get annoyed or angry etc etc, if theres a problem that persists just speak to the staff, and let them sort it out, other than that people shouldnt be getting upset over what others are doing or not doing at the gym :) the only thing that matters is what YOU are doing at the gym, which is working out and keeping up your fitness
    I don't really ever get annoyed. I'm way to focused to see or hear anyone else :wink: .

    An old lady who stands in the lane in the pool and watches others swim. Right in the way - sucking up a lane. Everyone else has to share lanes. She yelled at me once because I got her wet with a kick splash. She's in the pool!! WTH??

    Today I learned that very little annoys me....

    ....by some rules of deduction this must mean that I'm the "annoying one" :laugh:
