    Getting on a machine to find it sweaty.
    Using the mats and finding they are sweaty.
    Picking up weights to find they are sweaty.

    Do people not know how to wipe?! I bet their underwear is a right state!

    I hate when people don't wipe down the equipment after use know one wants to sit in your sweat. There is walls i guess they are in between the equipment that had disinfect spray and paper towels and garbage to wipe down the machine and throw the paper towel away. Another is when they don't throw the towel away and leave it in the cup holders

    Not reracking your weights. It means I can't tell if that equipment is free, it means someone has to pickup after you and it means you're an assh0le.

    This!

    Also, people who "disappear" in between sets. This one guy arrived at the gym at the same time as me one day and we both got in the squat racks. He did a set and walked away, came back 5 minutes later, did another set and walked away. Then, I saw him leave the gym and get in his truck to leave. He left all his weights on the barbell. Strangest workout I've seen...

    At my gym the court style floor is seperated into 3 sections with the middle being for basketball and one side each for ping pong (I don't get it either) and aerobics with only a weighted curtain the seperate them. The basketball guys seem to think that they can just run THROUGH the curtain and run into us during our workouts. I have almost been run over multiple times, but when we say stuff all they say is that they can't stop (and I call BS on that).

    Also, I work as a civilian for the AF and we are given 3 hours a week paid to workout (healthier force=more effective force) and I see guys in the gym just talking for their entire hour then going home. Grrrr, that is NOT what this time is for *kitten*!
