    Found a new one today: People who yell across the cardio area from one machine to their "friend" several machines away carrying on a prolonged conversation.

    Dude, wanna talk? Get off your machine and go talk to your victim. Don't holler so everyone else has to hear your inane chatter about the game no one cares about from last weekend.

    Sit on the equipment that you want to use... and chat away... Literally talking.. While you stand there waiting.. They aren't even using the equipment!! :angry: so I rudely shout... Does that machine work your mouth muscles.. because it seems to be working if it is! :grimace: then give a look as though to say use it or get off it! :joy:

    I hate it when people are there when I'm there. It's 1am ffs! Go to bed!

    And I hate the fact people are too lazy to keep track and dispose of their half-consumed cups of water, instead leaving them strewn about the room and on equipment. Gah.

    I sit on machines or equipment all the time of no one is waiting. Do you ask the people of you can work in? If I'm sitting on equipment all someone has to do is ask.

    Lol - I suggest planet fitness then. Grunting comes with the territory if you are lifting heavy.

    @Hornsby this thread has lost all hope. I've come to the decision that people will find absolutely anything to complain about. Pretty sad..

    Not a fan of people using the machine right next to me when there are 20 other ones open for use.

    My only complaint is on leg day when the gym runs out of 45s for me to squat with... carry on!

    I hate it when someone takes the machine I'm about to get on. To me working out is an annoying chore and I like to get through it as quickly as possible.

    When people see my truck and come in thinking I'm up for conversation and a beer. >.<

    I prefer to get in and get out minding my own business... not much bothers me.

    The girls at my college's gym, though... they'll spray an entire bottle of gag-inducing perfume on themselves, to stink up not only the bathrooms, but the entire gym. Yeah, I quit going there, even though it's free. Seriously couldn't stand the perfume. Yuck.

    I mean, I like my own perfume, but I have enough courtesy not to apply it in the gym, or spray 20oz of it on myself before going there.
