    Ummmmm... How about the dude that thinks hes going to THE NIGHT CLUB and wears his entire bottle of cologne he got for Christmas! Then hops on machine next to me....I'm in the zone and have to stop and switch machines before I gag? Um...sweat and cologne don't mix Mr. Fabio!

    Forgetting my headphones

    I dont do the gym, its not my thing, I hit the street and go from there, so rain is a definite buzz kill

    ear buds when they shag out and one cuts in and out,

    when some one rings and your using your iphone as your mp3 player so it rings at the wrong time like when your pump hard track comes on

    and injury, I have this routeen where I walk the 100m from my door to the street then use the guy across the roads fence to stretch off (I have know idea why as I have a more sturdy fence at my front gate but its just what I do) but any how this one time, I walked acorss the road triped and rolled my ankel on the edge of the road / hard sholder and tore ligaments in my ankel, I was in agony like on a scale of 1 - 10 1 being the lowest 10 being the highest 4.5 being standing on lego with bare feet this was like a 12, I couldnt evenrest my foot on the ground much less put weight on it so I ended up crawling aross the road through the gate and 100m down my gravel drive way up the stairs and inside

    my wife then comes out and asked why I wasnt going for my run :cry:

    Trying to workout with other people. I just don't *get* the "workout buddy" thing.

    ditto that. also people who rest on the machines and those who neglect to wash either themselves or their workout gear. And if my shuffle runs out of juice...that's the worst.

    For me its this older woman that comes in and sits in a chair and watches ME workout.... Thats all she does. She doesnt get on anything or USE anything... she sits in one of those hard orange chairs and watches only ME. Its weird is what it is. :grumble: :noway:

    That is bizarre. :huh: There's an older guy who likes to come in and work out right behind where I run intervals on the treadmill. I guess he's studying my excellent running form. If I come in after him, he will move machines just to get behind me. Creeper...:tongue:

    Worse, when someone who reeks of perfume or cigarettes gets next to me and triggers my asthma. Otherwise, I don't really care what anybody else does unless it impacts ME.

    ipod/iphone dying, forgetting headphones, forgetting shoes so I can't even do anything :(, not being able to de-stress therefore making it stressful when its usually de-stress time

    When your super cute little 100lbs soaking wet friend asks to come to the gym with you and gets bored..
    or Goes forever on the elliptical and asks why you can't breathe past the half hour mark.

    They are playing euro dance trash music at the gym now...DAFUQ?! ... I hate this crap worse than country music.

    So there IS something worse than country music? :laugh: I have something sorta like a phobia of country music. I'm not exactly afraid of it, but it makes me super tense and irritable and I feel like punching something hard. Don't know how or why this happens, but it does. I'm an easy-going type, and nothing else makes me feel this way. Thankfully, they don't play country music at my gym or I'd have to cancel my membership...

    Opening up my water bottle and it smells rancid. Like something died in it. Still not sure why.

    Extreme gas.

    The elderly man working out with you begins hovering. And I mean, standing next to you, as you're on a machine, attempting to "root you on".

    No matter what station I put Pandora on it can't give me a good tempoed workout soundtrack.

    Due to bad knees, swimming and aqua classes are a big part of my cardio workouts, and I havent been able to go since middle of last week as the pool is closed due to some problem... so I have had to use the main gym for my cardio this week (boy do my knees feel it), and it looks like I wont hit my 15 mile swimming for the month this month :(

    Ads on Pandora. That's why I switched to Spotify and pay 10 bucks monthly. All the music I want, unlimited skips, NO ADS! :D

    Also, emails/texts/phone call notifications during, and then there's gas... o_O Gas will ruin a badass workout in a heartbeat.

    A new one for me tonight: during Zumba tonight, this woman right next to me was popping and snapping her chewing gum so loud that I couldn't hear the music! I actually wished she would've choked on it. (That's mean, I know, but it was so annoying).

    And the ever present problem of people NEVER putting the equipment away or leaving heavy weights in the sauna and spending half of my workout time running all over the gym trying to find the equipment I need.

    If I wear a loose top then it keeps rising up when im doing cardio workouts,
    I work out at home, so if Im doing a weights routine then my 2 yr old decides to run into my line of workout and nearly get a dumbell on his head (he has perfect timing lol)

    Fresh calluses, blisters, etc. I don't actually care about whether or not I have them, but when they impede upon my ability to exercise (e.g. grip a bar) I get very frustrated, very quickly. It's also becoming painful to turn on the shower and grip the steering wheel. :grumble: My hands need to toughen up already *rages in the corner*

    Having to use the bathroom while on a great run....Pants falling down while running (yes, I need new ones, as I have shrunk a bit), bra strap falling off shoulder. Shirt bunching up in the armpit area while running....one shoe tied tighter than the other....All distractions and annoyances.... :)

    Your attitude can ruin your workout. IF you have an attitude that you're gonna kick butt regardless, then you will. If you think it, you can do it...if you don't think you can, you won't.

    Having to pee!

    ^^THIS! Hate it. I hate getting in a good groove on the treadmill and then BAM! It comes on and there's no NOT getting off to go pee. Ugh! Messes up my workout big time!
