People/Things at the gym that piss you off?..

I am so sick of people that do not wipe the equipment down when they are done. Some give it a half hearted quickie that they should not even bother with and others just don't give a s.... The workers that should be talking to these people just walk right by them without saying anything and when you say something they look at you like you just made up a new rule!! Well you know what, I did just make a new rule,"my rule" I wipe down the equipment good before I use it and just the little wipe when i'm done. At least I know I am using clean equipment....not that I am pissed off or anything

People making sex noises as grunts to try to get attention. I have to turn my headphones up uncomfortably loud to block it out.

My gym is really awesome. No complaints! It's a campus gym and there's not any blatant nudity in the locker room-always the chance of running into professors or classmates in there. And people are good about the equipment. Most people take it pretty seriously and are there to do work.

I love EVERYONE and EVERYTHING at the gym. Grunt, drop the weights, stare at me, knock yourself out. If you leave a sweat mess, I'll remind you to clean it, if I see you leaving. If not, I'll wipe it up myself. Wanna dry your junk at the hair dryer. Guess what? I don't have to look. Folks that talk to me, SHAZAM! I'm flattered that anyone even wants to talk to a creepy old man. Someone hogging a machine while texting? I walk up and say, "Can I work in while you're on the phone?". Never had a problem. If I absolutely HAD to name something, it would be folks that lift in a way that endangers people around them. It's rare, but I've seen it. If you wanna do plyometric box jumps with a barbell on your shoulders, do it in an area where you won't hurt anyone if you mess up. I've been going to commercial gyms for over 35 years and it's all good.

Whew! My rant is done.:laugh:

Small ****s with bad form themselves lifting advice....NOT LISTENING

Yes!

People sweating ALL over the machines not wiping them down! Ugh just nasty!

Yes, sweating all over everything and not wiping! Unless you are incredibly hot ofcourse ... then sweat away! :drinker:

Leaving the weights all around haphazardly so that I trip over them, wearing unwashed stinky shorts, checking oneself out in any reflection, working out barefoot *and* leaving the shoes around so I trip over them.

Oh wait, I work out in my garage so all of that was my fault.

LOL!!!! You forgot about not re-racking your own weights! I leave my work weight for dead lifts on the bar whenever I finish because by then I'm dead, then I want to kick myself the next workout day haha. (Home gym only of course)

There was this older guy at the last gym I belonged to who never, so far as I saw, worked out. He went into the locker room, took off his clothes, put on a towel, and then planted himself on a bench that had a view of the entrance to the shower area. Then he'd sit there. And sit there.

this!

Aren't most people incredibly hot when they sweat??

i see what you did there..boom

Girls who take photos of themselves pretending to work out. (either work out or leave no one wants you here anyway)
Girls who come in hair done makeup done pretending to work out (no the cute trainer doesn't care about you so stop)
Self entitled brats that come with their friend and ask you to get off your cardio machine so they can work out together (the answer is ALWAYS no and now I'm staying on 20 more minutes to spite you)
People who talk on the phone while on a machine (GET OFF. NOW.)
People who clearly have no idea what they're doing but refuse to ask for help (just ask a trainer, it's not that hard...really.)
People who ask you to move because that's "their" machine (oh really buddy?? I don't see your name on it??? wow let me do 20 more minutes JUST to piss you off)
People who judge you as you walk in (I see you judging me...and let me tell you something, you don't look that hot either so back off thanks)

haahaa, college gym?

Yes, sweating all over everything and not wiping! Unless you are incredibly hot ofcourse ... then sweat away! :drinker:

You should come by to my gym someday! Some things make me break into a cold sweat! *shudders*

Bad hygiene ... People not bothering to wipe their sweat off themselves during a spinning class but preferring it to rather form a puddle on the floor .... dont get this!!!
