We all have those irritants at the gym and like posting about them.
Someone got on my case for defending one of those.
Yet, no one is perfect. You are irritating too, because you're human.
What do you do at the gym that is annoying?

Sometimes I set the weights down hard.
Sometimes I do weird looking exercises.
Sometimes I wear makeup at the gym.
Sometimes I talk to other people at the gym.
Sometimes I look like I have terrible form.2 -
Nothing.
I'm not a *kitten*.
Well, I am.... just not in the gym.

I sometimes don't rerack weights if someone is waiting for the bench press. I figure it's going to take me sitting on the bench for a while to rerack while they stand up and wait, just for me to take the plates off they will have to put right back on.

One of them is the American Deadlift, so it looks like a deadlift with poor form.
There's also the barbell hip thrust that many on here know about, it looks like you're doing a humping motion.
The cable pull through also looks like weird humping.
Those are the main ones I can think of, but I know there are many more.0 -
I leave my weights all over the weight room. It is in my spare bedroom and I'm the only person that lifts. So, when I can't find a plate or trip over a barbell I cuss at myself.
My window is directly across from my neighbors living room window and they never close their blinds. Sometimes I watch their TV while I'm lifting. They probably think I'm a total creeper.3 -

Only thing I can think of is whenever I grab an exercise ball off the rack, I dribble it like a basketball to my workout space. Haha.

I'm that naked guy in the men's room, lifting my right leg up on the bench and then bending down to tie my left slipper, just to make sure everybody gets a look at my 70 year old junk.
Kidding, I don't go to the gym, I set myself up to do the basics at home. Still have nightmares about the black hole, though.1 -

Ugh, I thought you act like people don't exist if they talk to you.
Sounds annoying to me. Kind of obnoxious actually.

I'm a grunter.
I check myself out in the mirrors after a good workout.
I unintentionally give bitchy looks to strangers.0 -
I wipe down my equipment and nod and smile at others. How irritating! Am I right?! Well maybe the other night shift working out at 1am people think so because I get some weird looks.1

As an avid hooper, I do this every time. LOL. Also I shoot the medicine balls like basketballs off the side of the wall in between sets 1 -
I wipe down my machines sometimes even before I use them and then talk loudly to a friend about how it's nasty people don't wipe their equipment down after. I only do this when I see someone guilty.
I change the one of the tvs to play dance music. Motivates me but i know some others rather not listen to it.
So far these are the only two I can think of.0 -

i'm clumsy. really try not to be but people are probably safer giving me a few extra inches' air space. i almost stabbed my trainer in the junk once [complicated story involving the broomstick and the cage]. and that was after he banished me to the cage for benching, because i overshot the supports on one side when i was just using the portable stand.
i also try to keep my empty shoes far from other people. or sealed into a plastic bag with a few charcoal pockets.0 -

I tend to sort-of drop the weights when I deadlift.0

Pfft.... if someone attempts to talk to me while I'm in the middle of a set, they get ignored.
If that's obnoxious, so be it.

No gym, but when I finish my run at the park, I tend to start moving into the middle of the track without noticing. I'm trying to get better at catching myself before.1

I tend to mean mug and shake my head at people who don't rerack their weights. and since I'm usually listening to hip hop when I lift, clearly in my head I'm
on stage rappin while lifting weights at the same time. def doesn't make me look crazy at all.1 -
I actually stopped going to the gym I mosned a lot about the air con blasting down ur neck on the running machine u dint wrap up warm to go to the gym
I feel
The cold massively and although u get hot during the workout if he moaning and annoying people on how cold it is to start off with0 -
The hubby and I may or may not have taken up one of two squat racks for an hour and a half yesterday..
When the weights are racked wrong and if it's not a quick fix, like moving one plate so that they're organized right, I just put it back where I found it.
I don't always wipe off my treadmill.. if I'm not sweating or if I literally only pushed a button or two, I figure it's good.0 -

When I'm finished with the exercise ball I flick it up with my foot into the wall/mirror so it bounces back into my hands.
The most annoying thing I do is lift more weight than people half my age - unforgivable....0
