    I have quite a few funny moments over the years, but recently....

    A couple of the young girls who work at the gym have trying to get my attention in peculiar ways.

    Only three people in the whole place. I am hitting the squat rack and worker decides to clean the mirrors in front of me only 4-5 feet away. Squeezes in between the front of rack and mirror & then bends over inside my squat rack directly in front of me during my sets, revealing she isn't wearing underwear with nearly half her butt poking out.

    I'm trying to work 300 lbs and she trying to work me brain, you can guess who won round one.

    A guy running on the treadmill with a large glossy black and white photo of his pet pug placed on the front of the treadmill.

    In the YMCA sauna, i walked in on two guys, one was giving the other one oral sex.

    In the YMCA again, on the locker room floor lie a filthy pair of whitey tighties with the whole back side up the waist covered in feces.

    Oh yes, in the sauna again, a guy with his balls strategically placed on a towel. he wasn't sitting on the towel, his balls were.

    The weirdest thing I ever saw at the gym was a bunch of people minding their own business and working out.

    Back in college when I was lifting like nobody's business, there was this older gentleman (about 65-70) who always worked out in these teeny tiny yellow shorts that were borderline see-through when wet (and they were always wet because he was sweating a lot). One day I was doing bicep curls on the machine and he was across from me on the leg press and his balls popped out from his shorts. I remember thinking oh god, why me? I was about 19-20 at the time and I was trying to mind my own business...lol

    Perhaps that was his intention. For his balls and maybe more to "accidentally" fall out. did he occasionally look at you to see if you noticed?

    I absolutely did not make eye contact! Personally, I thought the guy looked oblivious in general, but in hindsight, who knows.

    OMG, the other day there was a group of like 3/4 people that were 'trying out' the Y's wellness center.. you could tell they were pretty inexperienced, all overweight and VERY underdressed, butt cracks hanging out, huge sweaty pit stains, unkept hair, and you could smell them if ou were near them.. it was just bad. :(

    Anyway.. I got off the legpress machine to go get a couple more plates and they jumped on there with it half loaded, so I hurried up and put the other weights on there so it wouldnt be off balance and they like barked at me. I just went and did something else. After that, I was over in the all free weight section talking to a trainer friend of mine, and he had just explained to the girl about how to use a light (10lb) bar to do twists with.. One of the big burly chicks in this group stomped over and grabbed an olympic barbell and put it on her shoulders swinging it all around.. OMG. That was kinda disturbing, but the trainer rushed over there before she took someone out with it.

    Thats the only time anything SUPER weird happened, and even then it was just odd.

    Saw this couple using the hot tub and both of them were facing one another. The young gal went underwater and the guy was yelling out "OH YEAH! OHHHH YEAH!". It was the most funniest thing I've seen because it went on for 10-15 minutes, lol.

    Last week, there was a guy lying on one of the mats, like in between sets, and he was lying so still on his back all sprawled out, I thought he was dead. I was actually going to go make sure he was okay when I saw his chest move and realized he was indeed breathing. :smile:

    ^This. I hate looking in the mirror because I make some awkward faces as well.

    The strangest thing so far at the gym is one of the guys that lifts. I think he is an Army guy. But when he benches he grunts/wails so loud that he can be heard above the volume of your iPod plugged into your ears. It's so bad that it sounds like he's taking a massive dump...and everyone in the gym kind of stops for a minute and just stares. I realize that he's lifting heavy weights and exerting himself, but it is really over the top.

    How did she not drown?

    I personally love all the weird little idiosyncrasies that people have....and we all have them. If I do something stupid or funny at the gym and people laugh at me, I'd probably laugh right along with them. The only time I get judgy about what other people do is when they are being mean or inconsiderate to others. I actually admire the people who are so into their workout that they just don't give a damn about what anyone else thinks or if they make a funny face or a weird noise. I wish I could be less self conscious and more like them. But I think it's ok to talk about the funny things that people do, because we all do them.

    My trainer had her exercise pants on inside out so the white crotch part was sticking out and neither of us noticed until she was showing me how to use some sort of inner thigh machine. It was so funny.

    Me too. I catch myself all the time, generally it looks like I'm giving birth to a hippo...through my urethra. I'm sure it's amusing. I don't have a good poker face.

    Two girls who used to be in my weight lifting class last year. They would show up to class in full on make-up. The entire class period, the ywould do nothing but small bicep curls and leg lifts.

    This year, I had swimming, jogging, and kung fu. Whenever I would walk by covered in sweat, they'd walk by, looking at me like I was insane for working out in a gym while they hadn't even sweated enough to muck up their clothes.

    I get the feeling that they'd just show up to guy watch and glare at girls who actually worked out.

    Not really weird, but there's this guy who goes to the gym the same time I do in the morning, and I've overheard him talking to others. He is a very religious, but very kind sounding man who wants nothing more than to teach others "the way of the Lord." You can tell he's super passionate about his beliefs. The other day he said hi to me as I got onto the machine next to him, then talked to the other lady next to us for a while about his church and telling stories. Interesting guy.

    She looked quite young so I'll give her a pass. A girl was struggling to spell out the letters on her dumbbell. She would say things like five lllll, five la, five lllliiiiii, and five llllliiiibbbs. She finally went with five libs. She was serious. Her friend finally told her lbs meant pounds. I felt bad because I couldn't hold my laughter. It just sounded funny and cute the way she was trying so hard to spell out liiiiibs. She saw me laughing and looked embarrassed.

    Shake your butt a little ?

    No really, it happens al the time, especially sine the weight machines are positioned directly behind the cardio machines , and cardio machines are right behind the mats... I get it alot from the cardio folks when I am stretching on the mats... they have nothing better to look at.. other than CNN. lol

    I work out in the exercise room of a retired folk's center (long story), probably the funniest thing that's ever happened to me there is that a regular, a guy who's at least in his 70's, stopped me on my way out to tell me some off-color joke about a girl with no panties. :laugh:

    Some of the women who are in there all the time don't seem to do much of anything. Slow walking on the treadmill, sitting on one of the weight machines for a long time without actually using it. What's the point? Maybe they're just there to try to pick up men or something?
