Yesterday I got to the gym pretty late, around midnight; there were two girls (around 18 or 19) in the locker room taking selfies in front of the mirror. Did not bother me until I walked behind them to leave the locker room and they were irritated I "ruined" their picture. Really?!?!
Am I the only one here that is annoyed with selfies at the Gym?

I think that's more a case of annoying person then annoying thing.0

I have a feeling 20-30% of responses on this thread will be of somebody having taken a selfie in the gym as an avatar.0

I guess you are right, because I was not annoyed until they made it a point to say I was in their way. I guess the action can be said for anything, new people to the gym will do while there.0

It is annoying.
I'm going to the gym to get it in.... not draw attention to myself because I am working out.

I don't care either way. Has no effect on me0

No one wants to see a gym selfie of me. I'm sparing everyone.0

Only if you have a narcisstick.0

If I see someone taking a selfie or picture, I just normally duck and go by. Nobody wants me to photobomb them haha.0

I've never been a member to a gym before, but as long as they're not in my way I guess it wouldn't bother me. If they made a comment towards me ruining their picture that would be different. I probably would even take a selfie every once in awhile. I personally don't see a problem with it. Unless you spend more time perfecting the selfie than actually working out! Then you have issues.

I'm annoyed with selfies in general.0

^^And you my lady have pointed out my issue. With the new year comes new members that are obviously not committed to being there. Taking up a machine because your camera angle was bad, is not my problem. I will just have to get over it until at least February when they stop coming.
Sorry meant that for @clf12840 -
selfies everywhere all the time no matter what

That's hilarious because it was at Planet Fitness and no they were really thin, wearing sweats, and not hot at all. Believe me I can appreciate a woman.0 -
Don't get me wrong, I'm taking selfies everywhere and anywhere
But to get upset that you walked past their picture is stupid. Girl, you can photo bomb me anytime
(And I'll add, the reason to take a selfie at the gym is bc the mirrors are killer. It's really the best place to take a full-body selfie)0 -
they are 18,,, that's what they do, take selfies..... they will grow up.0

A few kids take selfies in the gym. Some young kid was flexing his biceps and taking one. I sorta has to laugh a bit. I so wanted to stand a decent distance behind him and pose. So he wouldn't notice right away but take the pic and post it somewhere. then someone would point out the guy 15 ft behind him that was photobombing his selfie.0

^^Now on my to-do list0 -
I only take selfies of other people. Some like to call that stalking. Whatever.

I have a goal. I want to have really nice abs at my age. I've seen a few guys lift up their shirts to admire their 2-3 pack. I'd so love to just wander close them like I was doing something else and "bam" lift up my shirt to reveal a six pack at 2x their age. Petty? You bet. But a guy needs motivation0

If you ever do this (or if I ever do this) it's gotta be a Hulk Hogan type pose, Brother!0 -

^Yup! Seriously, if they are getting mad that you walked by in the fricken locker room which "ruined" their selfie, they need to GTFO.
Besides the catty scenario above, I don't mind if people are taking selfies. Do ya thang! However, I can't take selfies in public - I am just embarrassed to do so. I can tap dance on a tabletop, sing for a crowd, but taking a selfie I can't do. haha I don't know why.0 -
The gym I go to doesn't allow cell phone use in the workout areas and taking a photo in the locker room can get your membership suspended. Tell those girls to put the phone away when in an area where people are changing cloths.0

So, I just saw this and laughed considering this thread.

^^This! I say we create a thread and post non gym activities we catch. I go to Planet Fitness and for whatever reason there are a few that do not take it serious0 -
^^lol0

I would be angry if my gym didn't allow cell phones I use it for music not talking never thought about others taking pics without asking not sure I like this but it happenes everywhenre. Selfies are a part of life for twitter and social media for many I am not one who is going to do it but have had to take photos in gym for coach and a few videos since I train alone but that doesn't happen often.
