    People who take 3 minutes between sets and won't let you work in.

    For starters, anyway.

    People walking soooo slooowly on the treadmill for ages just to watch TV. If there's plenty of open treadmills, sure, go ahead, but when people are waiting, it's super rude!

    :lol: okay well... lol. Oh man. I might lose friends on this one.

    The try hards. Why are you wearing a full face of makeup and a club outfit? We're at the gym babe. But still...you look cute I guess.

    The pickup artists. "Don't I know you?". No you don't fukin know me, I'm here to work out...get away from me, I will never be your gf and if I wanna be I will stare at your backside for several seconds straight. Bye.

    The selfie takers. You're not getting any uglier keep working out or gtfo of my mirror space.

    The lazies. You're lifting 20s why the hell can't you re rack your weights? Lazy fuk

    The slammers. If you need to drop the bar against the ground that hard, perhaps the weights too heavy? Thank you now I'm deaf.

    The dirties. Okay fine we all sweat. But for the love of Christ, clean your machine when you're done. I'm not a lover of your *kitten* sweat. Thanks.

    The end :heart:

    Lmao.

    ^^ This!!

    My top two:

    Machine hogging while they sit there just texting or whatever it is people with no gym etiquette do - go work out in the high school gym please if you gonna do that.

    My biggest peeve is people not wiping machines after them. Its always the really gross and stinky people too. YUCK!!! I always wonder if they are the ones who get regular food poisoning by not washing their hands after the toilet and then cooking

    Those who don't wipe their equipment down.
    Those who don't close the locker door when they're done.
    The nakies in no rush in the locker room.
    Gum chewers, I'm overly sensitive to smells.

    People who don't wipe the equipment down, followed closely by gym-advisors: Those folk who feel the need to critique your form/pace/cadence/etc

    So for example, how much weight is TOO much weight? And maybe there's a language barrier here, but I don't know what a she-ra is.

    • People doing rows on the bench press benches. There's like 8 benches by the dumbbells for that.
    • Anything but squats in the squat rack (using the bar for deadlifts is alright as long as no one is waiting to squat).
    • Circuit people in the weights area. You know the kind that has 4 sets of dumbbells, 2 machines and a bench monopolized for over a half hour.
    • The entourage. There always one huge dude that has a posse of 4-5 people who just seem to follow him around and watch him work out. Maybe one or two of them will work in every now and then but mostly they just seem to watch.
    • The girl who thinks every dude is hitting on her. I'm just asking if you're using that flat bench.
    • The people who manage to turn a 4 person stretching mat into a 2 person mat.

    I'm an unapologetic gum chewer. I tend to grind my teeth while exerting myself so the gum acts as a mouthguard and prevents me from ruining my teeth (without looking like a weirdo by actually using a mouthguard). Plus it's just a normal spearmint flavor.
