    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.

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

    Nothing.

    I'm not a *kitten*.

    Well, I am.... just not in the gym.

    *shrug

    Ugh, I thought you act like people don't exist if they talk to you.

    Sounds annoying to me. Kind of obnoxious actually. :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
    @ClubSilencio

    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....

    I try to maintain a hostile resting face while at the gym. Keeps people from thinking that I want to be their friend.

    I blast my earphones, maybe you can hear my music. I can't hear you if your talking to me so I just keep working out. If you left the machine to go talk to someone or go to the bathroom or get a drink...I might be using that machine when you try to come back.

    I play Solitaire on the treadmill. I realize that my hand moving all the time might be annoying for people next to me though so I typically pick an isolated treadmill.

    I think my rest periods between sets are a bit too long for people who want to use my station next.

    I live in a tropical country and people are always fiddling with the aircon in my gym. What I really hate is when people turn the aircon on full and then open a window. Either turn on the ac and close the windows or turn it off and open the windows!
