    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.

    Sorry but I laughed so hard at this.

    I get annoyed when people get in my way while I'm taking selfies. And when people walk in front of the camera when I'm taking video. Also, when the wifi at the gym is being crappy, but the ceilings are steel or something so I don't get great service inhibiting my ability to post on MFP, Facebook and Instagram. Also, people who think heavy lifting doesn't require rest periods.

    Lol oh you are great !!!

    When people use the weight area for circuit training. There are 2 rooms you can do that in. They use the flat bench for a step, when there's a room with step aerobics...and drag stuff from other areas to the weight area. They are monopolizing equipment and generally just in the way, wanting to be seen. Its ridiculous. If floor mats were intended to be used in the weight area thats where the gym would keep them. The ones that do sprints or walking lunges in the weight area make me want to accidently trip them!

    The guys who make loud noises with the machines/weights just to let everyone know they're going super heavy!!

    When there are 20 empty cardio machines and you've gotta choose the one right next to me. And stare at my display and try to compete. WTH?!?!

    People using their phones in the locker room whilst holding them straight ahead (think face-timing). I have no way of knowing if you are taking pics/video (probably not) but it makes me very uncomfortable as they walk back & forth amongst a dozen+ women in various states of undress!

    I hate when people stare at you... Not in a "oh, I wonder what they're doing" way but in a "let me start comparing myself to you and make this a competition" way. Why couldn't we all just be at the gym happily and focus on ourselves?

    Hands down, people talking while at the gym. Other people want to work out too, go somewhere else to chat it up.
