I workout at home and have a family with lil ones sooo with that said mine would be
-Whinny, bickering, fighting kids in the background
-When my kids interrupt me every 5 minutes to help them with something
-When my son sits on the couch and pulls a stewie from family guy and says mom, mom over and over and over
- this one I really hate when someone comes in the room and farts
-and the last one and this is probably a lil to much tmi but having to stop in the middle of a really good cardio work because your body all of a sudden decides it needs to go pee or poop

So what's your pet peeves???? At home or at the gym.

    When I go outside, start my run and find it out its way warmer than I expected and then feel like dying the entire time.

    The fact that it doesn't matter when I workout, if I do it when my kids are awake my one year old always poops mid-workout. So mine would have to be having to stop the workout to change a poopy diaper.

    Glad we don't workout together because you'd still have that same problem

    Hearing the weights slam down in the work gym because the lads have gone for the heaviest weight they can to impress the other lads, but have no control over it and they only do two and have to go for a drink.

    Not being able to use the weights because the lads are either hogging the weights machine or have busted them

    Free weights being left all over the place on the floor and on equipment in the work gym....

    This is why I am building my own mini gym in the garden! ITS ALL MINE!!!!!

    When someone is hogging the squat rack doing an exercise like arm curls or using horrible form.

    Oh! Also this! I hate that! I don't GAF how much the last person was able to lift, unload your damn weights! I'm no weakling, but I am very small and it's just disrespectful to make me unload your 300+ lb of plates just so I can do a warmup set of just the bar. *grumbles*

    I have 2: The first one is when someone comes into the living room and just stares. I'm like either your going to join me or just watch the TV.

    The 2nd is when I hear my joints popping. Then I become fixated on the sound my knee, legs and ankles are making.

    This is absolutely my most hated thing. They HOG. Because they are big boys apparently and think they own the gym. And they only ever go in packs because they can't do anything without each other. I hate it when people hog stuff.
    It always amuses me when I walk past to get my weights and my leg muscles are bigger than theirs though because they only ever work their arms and chests.

    If I go to the gym and there is a whole row of empty workout machines, and that person picks the one riiiight next to me, it's one thing if it's crowded you expect it, but when there's not too many people i go into my own zone and feel like this farkin guy here is invading my space!!! lol

    Plus when I workout at home my dog thinks I'm playing with him when I do jumping jacks, he will start to jump with me or push ups he decides to lick my face!!!

    Ha ha yes it's occurred to me that one of my fitness goals is to have abdominals nice enough to bare if I had to take off my top during a very hot day.

    My biggest pet peeve would be getting interrupted in a perfect plank by someone's foot on my back. Rawr.

    OOOO that makes me want to crush their puny heads with my muscly thighs. But they'd enjoy that too much :p
    (PS. My thighs aren't actually that muscley, but I still beat them!)

    My silly English mastiff dog use to do the same thing, now he thinks its great to lay down right where I'm working out or it drives me nuts when he walks in the room and farts nothing worse then dog fart when your working out

    That's funny. Every time my 3 year old sees me doing push ups he jumps on my back.

    I also workout at home....Insanity to be exact. It irks me to no end when my teenage son asks me questions during my workout...usually he chooses to start just as I am getting into the hardest part of the workouts. "Mom...can I take the car." "Mom...whats for dinner" "Mom...blah blah blah".

    One day I got so irritated I stopped and told him when he goes to basketball practice I am going to walk into the gym and ask him a million questions in front of his coach and team while he is doing suicide drills. He has since refrained from even being in the same room as me when I start my workouts. SMART KID...:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    my main problem is when i walk my dog.
    i get ALOT of kids going out of their way to try wind up my dog/screaming at my dog etc.
    now that mixed with me being very protective of my dog since kids round my area have purposely tried hurting him in the past (i live in a pretty bad area) and me just generally not liking kids too much this does not go down well with me.
