Men smirking at my light (2kg) weights. Go away!0

@Hornsby yea I do sit on the machine when I rest between sets. Seems pointless to go elsewhere cos by the time I reach sitting area it's time for another.0

lol makeup was one of my complaints too, but for the most part, the ladies at my gym who do this also work their *kitten* off. i wouldn't mind so much if they were coming in already done up (been there) but i've legit seen ladies touch up their makeup right before they get started. like. why? don't you sweat?!0 -

Oh boy can't wait until @JoRocka shows up0 -
The only thing that really bothers me is when people come in wearing perfume because they don't want to stink but end up stinking worse because of the perfume. I really hate when I walk out after my workout with a headache. I had one gal get on a treadmill next to me that had so much perfume on I wanted to spray her down with my water bottle.0

I have a question for all the people who don't like people taking selfies or sitting on the machines not doing anything. What do you all suggest one does when they are resting?
stand? walk around? i dunno.
note: if it's not crowded, this does not bother me. but having once been super shy at the gym, i know what it's like to wait around for equipment to free up. some people, especially those new to working out, might be too shy to ask someone if they're using something when they're really just using that equipment as a chair.0 -
The person who is in the squat rack and instead of squatting, deadlifting, rack pulling, benching, over head pressing or whatever; does 6 sets of barbell curls, while side eyeing me, while I am burning a hole in the back of his skull waiting for the rack to be available. I could do something else, I usually do, but not when it's actually squat day.
that, and people who don't put their weights back...sooooooo frustrating; roaming the gym looking for the other 30lb DB that someone decided to leave at the back of the gym...#rudeazzhat0 -

Ask to work in
Or wait
They aren't using it as a chair, they are using it and taking a 30-90 second rest between sets0 -
On point ! ^^^0

To me, that falls on them. Not the person sitting. Resting is a part of working out. I'm not getting up unless there is a reason. If someone asks, I'll always oblige, but you gotta ask usually. Otherwise, I don't see you.0 -

Yeah i kinda feel for others at my gym, we have literally 2 racks and im on a compound based routine so i can take approx an hour getting stuff done. Im fine with people working in but most people are just too shy to ask.0 -

Once I overheard the powerlifting trainer say "Pff what the heck is she doing? That's not what a real sportsman would do" to his female trainee while i was bulgarian squatting. Well that touched a raw nerve. It works on me and if you think that anyone who does something beyond benchpress, dead lifts and squats is a freak, you're a jerk, sir.0

This is Some good stuff, If everyone at once could talk at the GYM, this is what it would sound like ...0

Guys watching me hit on females, why you miring bro? aren't you here to workout?
I'm just kidding man, but seriously isn't it entertaining to watch?
I don't like
people who don't put weights back
grunts (the extreme version)
the guy who carries his bag around with him everywhere and acts as if it weighs 100lbs
ILS
Girl who thinks she owns the place and uses 5 pieces of equipment
Girls who set up like a power lifter, use an extreme arch to their back and push no weight
guy with knee wraps on the leg press pushing 50lbs (total, as in 25lbs per side)
guy who wears a weight belt for every workout! chest, back, chest, and arm days
I do like
Dancing guy!
Singing guy!
People who are focused but have manners and still share equipment
I can probably do this all day

Really? We’re doing this judgey-crap all over again?
Listen, if I’m not wearing makeup at the gym, it’s because it’s 4:30am and I’m getting my workout in before I go to work.
If it is ANY other time of day, I can guarantee you that my eyeliner is so on point it can slice your treadmill band in half and my lips are so red that you might think you’re at a stoplight.
And guess what?
Whether it’s 4:30am or 4:30pm, I don’t notice your judgemental stares or glances because I’m too busy out-lifting you.
If you’re able to focus on others, you’re not focusing enough on yourself. I love my makeup. Get over it. Not your face, not your business.

The person who forgets his/her gym towel on a bench or machine. It forces me to keep monitoring it for a long period, making the difficult call that it isn't being occupied, and then having to dispose of the towel in order to use it.0

Run a lap around the track, slacker. Who rests?
Still waiting for @JoRocka . Get in here and start schooling, woman.0 -

We do have this guy there that goes non-stop doing some weird stuff. Bench to jump rope to pull ups to curls to running in place. It's nuts. He does it for like an hour, too. I have no ideas what his goals are and have never asked...kinda want to put him on a path but haven't made the effort.0 -
*taking notes so I can be an annoying gym pest*
Thanks for all the ideas!0
