    I mean honestly... what does anyone think a gym that is full of machines is going to sound like. That's like walking into the locker room and complaining about naked people walking around.

    You clearly haven't encountered the "OMG NAKED PEOPLE?!?" threads.

    No.

    Thank goodness.

    Why would you? Not like it's your treadmill that you brought there.
  • Next time bring him cookies... laced with a diarrhetic. Tell him you felt so bad about all the noise you were making, you just wanted to apologize with some tasty treats. The only way to fight passive aggressives is to adopt their own style.

    drop a dumbbell on his foot and make sure it makes a loud "clang"

    I wouldn't think twice about him. If he's that easily distracted or annoyed by things in the gym he won't be there long anyways

    Nope, I wouldn't move unless it was annoying me, and to be honest it probably would.... however I would also only move if it was within 1 minute of me getting on the treadmill.
    What a whiny so and so!!

    I care. It drives me nuts if somebody gets onto a machine that is loud, especially if it's whining, squealing, or making a "clunk!" sound. Something is wrong! Get off!

    (I usually don't say anything, though. I don't like to disturb others, even when they disturb me.)

    if the person nearby passively complains about the loudness of my treadmill (it is much louder than the other two)

    He was not wearing headphones and watching tv while running

    I'm thinking I DID not come to the gym to hear someone whine about the sound of GYM machines.

    Tell him his wife tastes like cheerios.
