Pet Peeves at the Gym

When I'm doing some Cardio someone always has to take the machine next to me. Then they either talk on there cell phone or their friend shows up and has to have a conversion that everyone in 200 yard radius can hear. This only happens when I forget to bring my headphones.0

I have had many:
When someone is trying to DESTROY a machine by (the bicycle) by pedaling as intensely as they can and you can hear the bearings screaming.
When some Roided up guy is making all this moaning and groaning and strips down to this underwear right there in front of everyone and stairs in the mirror... gets dressed... works out a while more, and does it again : /
When someone intentionally walks between you and the piece of equipment you are working on instead of walking around.0 -
When there are ten EMPTY treadmills and someone ALWAYS has to climb on the one RIGHT NEXT TO ME!!!! UGH!
This one annoys me too. Why must people get on the machine right next to you when there are like 10 extra machines available? It ruins my rhythm and pisses me off.
I am also annoyed by people that sweat all over the equipment and don't bother to wipe it down when they are done and people that monopolize equipment not being aware that there are other people around that might want to use it.0 -
Nothing actually peeves me off, but I do laugh on the inside at all the guys doing an hour of bicep curl variations 3 days a week.0

When I set myself up to do tricep pull downs the other day and walked 2 steps away only to have another woman take the rope and go to another spot and then didn't even use the rope, but I had to find another one in the meantime. Now I'm just irritated when I see that person days later. There's no way she didn't see me put it there 2 seconds prior.
Generally I get annoyed when the machines I want or the dumbbells I want aren't available as we only have 1 of every machine due to my gym downsizing over the past few years.0 -
Most of these irritate me to some degree which is why I work out at 7am. The gym is almost empty at that hour so I don't have to deal with any obnoxious people.0

In my apartment gym, you can't get in without using your keypad. People will try to FLAG me down through the window while I would be in mid jog and making great time. I'd ignore... and THAT'S why I jog outside now.0

I totally agree with not liking people who dont wipe machines but what i really dislike is the women that come into the gym in full make up and barely work out then complain to trainers that they arent seeing results um perhaps if you put your phone down and broke a sweat you may get somewhere if not get out of the gym and let others train in peace0

People who leave a mess in the showers. I can't stand the showers in my gym. If you can get the shower to work at all your usually standing in 2 inches of scum because everyone leaves their gunk in the drain. GROSS!!!!!! I've seen pads floating in some stalls!! Women can be pigs!0

I do this. I take 3-5 minutes of rest between sets. If I walk away, some curlbro will take my rack to do moar curls.0 -

Overweight people in skimpy or tight clothing
Oi! We do that so we can see how much weight we are losing - it's a well known form of motivation!0 -
I do enjoy a good gym rant. My gym has only one bench press, one squat rack, and no where to do dead lifts or olympic lifts.
A new gym is opening at the end of the week. The salesman is claiming two squat racks. We shall see.
He has confirmed that the chin up bars will be too short to use in this gym also. Plus the too small dumbbells are even smaller in the new gym. And the kettlebells will also be too small.0
