    They want to have eye candy to look at when working out themselves.

    That ultra pisses me off also. When I go to the gym and a dude hops on the machine next to me and then says "hey, want to do weights with me?" I mean the diamond ring on my left hand is already huge...stating I'M MARRIED!!! those *kitten*....lol...:)

    Because you're cute! :bigsmile:

    Actually it bugs me too. Like when you get to a nearly empty parking lot, about to get out and someone whips into the spot *right next* to you. Makes me want to ding their car. But...I might have anger issues.

    Doesn't bother me as much as the guy who moves the big fan from a position that it is giving everyone a nice little breeze to pointing directly at him and no one else... or even worse still, the guy who decides to unplug the fan entirely! Sure it is southern California and it is 98 degrees outside, why would ANYONE want a breeze while exercising?????

    I do this all the time...not my fault that there are only a few good treadmills that get the direct air flow of the fan overhead! I don't treat it like a race, but I think the people next to me think it is a challenge or something...

    Plus, I get inspired to be better and work harder when people are super fit and working out really hard next to me. oh welllll hope no one minds too much! :)

    They want you to stare at them while they work out - then act all pissed off and shocked if you do :noway:

    ^ This. lol but yeah I am big on personal space too...I would just get off and move to one far far away and see their reaction.

    exactly what i was going to say. If they are regulars, they will take the hint.

    You don't own the space, Ducky..... those women are obviously less worried about personal space and more about getting the job done than you are.
    Get in, get it done, get out. Applies to evey aspect of life.

    Works for me!!
    Headphones on, head down, get the job done and stop whining!

    That drives me crazy too! It's just weird because the treadmill I use the most is one of the ones that does NOT get great air. I chose it for that reason. I hate sweating only to have freezing cold air blowing on me (yes, i am paranoid about getting sick lol). It's even worse if they constantly look over at you and your machine. Then when you look back at them, they give you a weird look. It's like being in the twilight zone!

    Weelll . . . I know a thing or two where the get in, get it done, get out aspect may not quite satisfy ;).

    However, I like my personal too and it irritates me when all the machines are open and you gotta get next to me. I took my running outside. There is really not much you can do. If it's open and they wanna be on it, they are allowed.

    I never take those silly machines; you can have 'em. I take my bike on the road, my board in the ocean, my skis on the mountain, a partner on the dance floor, or the Olympic bar in the rack.

    Sweat... A LOT.... and shake it all over them. FLick your towel around a few times and hit them with it.

    Pour water over your head and shake your head a few times.

    :P Grunt and spit all over them.


    Trust me, they'll move.

    I used to hate this too. It's like men and urinals. You leave at least one to buffer. Always!
