    My gym discontinued free wifi. :( I loved being able to surf the web for an hour while cycling. Now my ebook expenditures are increasing.

    Aerosol hair spray in the ladies locker room. On top of the perfume already sprayed. This done standing in front of the mirrors and the only place to walk just happens to be directly in their line of fire. Some women don't even realize how heavy they are coating this on. Ugh. makes me gag.

    I wished the gyms would consider walk-ways when building locker rooms.

    Annoying guys who take over all the weights and walk around like they're He-Man...

    I'm like Excuse me She-Ra

    You're mad that people can lift more than you?


    No---read again buddy...I'm talking about selfish She-Ras

    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.

    Well--Google it--I don't have to explain anything to you--go internet bully someone else.

    If you don't want to tell me what one is, that's fine. It was just a question though.
    OMG I feel old right now. You seriously don't know who She-Ra is? Princess of Power? He-Man's sister?

    Leaving only one dumbbell on the weight rack.. Or not having the dumbbells in the correct order.

    My biggest pet peeve is actually in the locker room when I'm sitting down, leaning over putting on my shoes and old man with the super low balls wants to walk a mere two inches away from my face. I've literally had to duck and move before to avoid getting old balls across my face.

    Hilarious!

    Don't feel old. If it was from a tv show, I just didn't see it. I watch college football. That's about it.

    Which brings up a gym pet peeve of mine: oh wait, no it doesn't.

    1. When I catch people staring at me. I know they aren't checking me out so that makes it even weirder for me.
    2. When I can't get the machine/bench/equipment I want and nothing that is similar is available either so I wander around looking lost trying to figure out what to do instead.

    One of my workout buddies has a habit of staring off into space (must be some deep thinking) when he's between sets. More than once he has had either an annoyed guy or creeped out girl throw him some dirty looks. One woman even berated him for staring. The rest of us find it hilarious. :D

    I loved this cartoon when I was younger. Me and my brother once had a sword fight (with kitchen knives) and he ended up needing stitches. We both thought it was awesome, my mom... Not so much.

    When my neighbor comes to chat with me in the middle of a lift. I built a home gym for a reason, damn it! Too damned hot most days to close the garage door and you'd think blaring Ministry would run anyone off! I need a bigger, meaner dog. (Jk)

    Ok, seriously, I have none. The above is as bad as it gets, and I actually like the guy. Let's call it gym nirvana.

    Maybe the fact that I need to buy a GHD?

    I'm not sure why it bugs me but, people that wear jeans to workout.
    Also, people that talk really loudly on their cell phone.
    And, obviously, people that apply a shat ton of perfume.

    People who sit on their phones on a machine and just zone out. Then you ask if they are using it and they say, "yeah". So I become a smart *kitten* and say, "ya know its not a wifi hot spot right?"
