    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 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 with

    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!

    I do Olympic lifting so I drop my weights when the lift is over...but I'm pretty sure it's not annoying anyone because everyone at my gym does Olympic lifting...it's pretty much a requirement.

    When I attempt to superset..so I pretty much lift more at home because of this.

    I've farted a few times during heavy squats.

    Not purposely, but regardless. I'm pretty respectful of my surroundings and people.

    The lazy people who don't put up their weights probably think I'm annoying when I tell them to put their *kitten* up.

    Weird, *kitten* isn't caught by the filter now?

    1. I don't wear my glasses at the gym, so I look like I'm ignoring everyone, because I don't make eye contact because I can't SEE.
    2. I ask people to take progress pictures of me: when I do a handstand or deadlift.

    People think I'm ignorant when I'm in my own sessions.
    I spend a good amount of time training other people so, when I'm doing my own sessions I like to put my earphones in and ignore the world!!!

    I'm that unsociable guy lol!

    I do a death stare against anyone who does bi/tri-sets on different spots.

    Hey, asshat, the gym is full, don't take up two machines/benches. You only have one body.

    I use chalk, right in front of a sign that says "chalk use is prohibited".

    I eat a protein bar between sets sometimes.

    I hate thinking about it but... Yeah

    At least I can usually hold it in until I reach a less congested section of the trail

    I check people out, probably creepy - but what else am I to look at?
