    I think it's fortuitous that I just saw this. Just this morning at the gym I walked into one of the circut rooms to lie on the floor and do some abs and there was a guy in there lying down reading a book. I patiently waited for him to acknowledge me to see if he could scooch over a bit (he was smack in the middle of the room) and he got all huffy me, grabbed his book and stomped away. Good lord - it's not a library and I was only asking for you to share the space.

    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.

    I think they're just preconditioned to do that. It's not specific to the gym have heard plenty of women ***** about other women at work and rarely the guys.

    1. People who don't wipe down the machines.

    2. When all the machine are open (cardio) yet the person just has to use the one right next to you.

    When chicks spend their workouts on their cellphones. It's different if it's also your mp3 player and it's just sitting there. But theres a group of girls at my gym who flock around each other to take pictures on the ellipticals and near the weights.... -_-

    I find the people spending their time judging other people's outfits and workouts to be very annoying.

    Sounds like a horrible place. People finding things about which to be annoyed. Glad I don't go there. I would hate to be annoyed by some random bullsh!t that doesn't have any effect on what I'm supposed to be doing. Luckily there's the interweb where you can come b!tch about how the color top some broad was wearing fcked up your time spent on the treadmill reading 50 Shades of Goo.

    Why on earth does that affect you? Should I go home and take my makeup off after work so as not to bother you?

    I know, you're going to say that it's not the after work people that bother you- that's fine, but you can just TELL the difference between people that come from work and people that put makeup on specifically for the gym, and it's the people that put it on FOR the gym that bother you. But I'm sorry, you have no way of knowing that.

    Furthermore, there are people with bad skin and/or social insecurities that don't feel confident going out in public without makeup for any reason. Should those people be denied the chance to improve their health and fitness because they feel uncomfortable without makeup? Perhaps as their bodies improve, their confidence will come along with it, and someday they won't need to wear makeup to work out, but let's cut them a break for today, ok?
