    Actually I'm just tired of seeing people do one set of benches and then spending 20 minutes floating around staring at their phones or giving a stinkeye at everyone that walks past.

    Lol! I remember this one guy who would go like "Yeahhh, that's right" each time he was on the treadmill or elliptical. I always tried to get a machine far away from him as he was too much of a distraction! lol!

    My gym is a running trail and my basement. I see the occasional freaky, disgusting, gross, scary and ugly spider down there. GAG.

    There's a guy at my gym who goes up to the mirror between sets and yells things at himself like "WE GOT THIS" and "WE GO HARD" and "THIS IS HARD."

    Also this is an apartment complex gym. It's very small. Feels crowded with more than 3 people in it, extra special gym etiquette required. -_-

    Oh and there's always that one guy on a yoga mat doing about a thousand weak quarter crunches. I want to tap him on the shoulder and tell him it's not going to work, but who am I to burst his bubble? :)

    I see that all the time since my gym is the local community center. People do a quick set on a weight machine and then just sit there for 20 min between sets BSing with the person next to them

    If I did go to a gym I certainly wouldn't judge or laugh at people. At least they are there, right?

    We have a whole crew that is slightly chubby that will wrap themselves in Saran wrap before they work out. First time I only saw one...now I know he has like five buddies that have all bought into this plastic wrap madness. They literally pass the plastic wrap around the changing room. :huh:

    I have ADHD lol lot of things can distract me (I'm the ooo shiny or look squirrel person).... that's why I have Pandora on when I work out to keep my mind focus. This happened right between songs where is a no sound... and he was talking really loud. :bigsmile:
