in Chit-Chat
What are some things that piss you off or make you mad at the gym, like bad etiquette and stuff?

A bit of a rant-ish type thing ;)

    Weights not being racked. Weights not being racked properly. Not wiping your sweat print from the bench\equipment.
    That is all that comes to mind.

    When they walk by, whisper to someone "yeah, they should really have a doctor look at that."

    When you show up for your favorite class, and your least favorite instructor is there as a sub :P

    people who get on the cardio machines in the circuit and do full workouts on them while i'm trying to circuit train - when there are cardio machines free outside the circuit. People who go the wrong direction around the circuit. People who do a 5 minute workout then stand around congratulating themselves out loud about how awesome their workout was. People who stink - wash your gym clothes EVERY time, people! People who stare at you and then copy you but don't talk to you - if you're interested in my workout I don't mind showing you but don't just stare at me!

    People making love to a machine. Camping out for 10-15 minutes on one weight machine.

    Dropping weights, grunting so loud the whole place can hear, leaving weights around, not putting **** back, leaving weights racked on bars instead of returning them, guys posing in mirrors not actually lifting (an employee at our local golds would do this constantly), guys in the closet walking around naked in the locker rooms, doing gross stuff like sitting on benches naked, clipping your toenails in the locker room (no, cant make this up).

    People not wiping their sweat off the cardio machines when paper towels and sprayers are everywhere as well as signs,

    People doing lunges and what not in the squat rack. There are only two squat racks at my gym and it annoys me to no end when people do **** other than squat in the squat rack.

    People who concentrate more on how they look doing something instead of actually doing it with proper form.

    The exercise groupie at my gym who never seems to work out herself but sits on the cardio machine next to someone who is trying to work out and wants to talk constantly.

    The woman who does nothing but talk while she's doing her 'cardio'. She'll talk to the person next to her, people walking by and if she's not currently talking to someone she will look around frantically for someone to bother. She tried hitting my husband up with conversation once and he wasn't responding and she got mad.

    I do OHP in the squat rack and use the squat bar for deads. There is no where else I can do them.

    I understand you have to rest in between sets, but being so involved in your texting that your rest period is minutes, just jump off let me have a set then you can go back. Don't waste my time. Your texts can't be that good!!

    Slamming weights does not impress me. When you lose control of your weights and slam them you can hurt yourself. Don't expect me to help you when you are the cause of your injury.

    People getting pissed of at other people in the gym.

    There is more to life than being hung up on someone else's issues. If you've got enough time to get annoyed by someone else, you need to find something more to do, because you've got too much time.

    People who give me 'Why the hell are you here, fatty?' looks while I'm working out. It's uncomfortable working out with half the other people in the gym judging you for not being instantly skinny and fit after two work-outs.

    Someone (not DOING anything) camping out on a machine/station that I need...

    Other than that- nothing.

    Someone leaves the weights on the bar.. whatever, mini bonus workout removing it.

    Someone stinks.. I think they've probably been working hard and 60 minutes in I won't smell like a rose either.

    Someone's looking in the mirror.. 1. what do I care, it's THEIR time being wasted and 2. maybe they've worked their butt off to look like that.. who am I to judge?

    Someone's flaunting it birthday style in the locker room- See the previous one, and I always love nice ta-tas.

    I usually do my own thing and worry about myself in the gym.. people are not always as considerate or knowledgeable as they could be, but that's life. No sense getting pissy about things you can't change.

    Really irritates the hell out of me when i am doing my workout and someone stops me for whatever random reason and i have to pause my music and stop what i am doing. I am not there for chit chat.....unless you want to ask to spot me or me to spot you , i would like to just finish my sets.

    Oh and people that waste time in between their sets hogging up what i want to use next. you wanna chat or check your phone go to Starbucks...i got work to do.

    End rant lol
