    I'm very annoyed by the idiots that take there phones not just to the gym....but they are on a damn machine NOT working out, but texting and taking up the machine! What completely rude *kitten* morons. If your gonna text, go somewhere else please and don't take up a machine. You think you're cool while using your phone in he gym. Nope, you look like an idiot! If you are there to workout, then do so. Working your thumbs is no true workout. :s That's #1 gym pet peeve. Don't let me catch you doing it.

    Some people use lifting apps to record their lifts in between sets. How do you know they are texting?
    Also, when lifting heavy is not uncommon to rest for 2-3 mins. What do you care what they do during their rest time?

    I log my sets/reps in an app. Easier for me to keep track off.

    People who don’t sanitize the equipment after using it. GROSS!

    Also, people who don’t know how to properly dress for the gym and you wind up seeing things you cannot unsee.

    Nonstop talkers. I can barely think when huffing and puffing let alone form words.

    The sweaty, stinky, protein fart people (yes that includes females too) Not only do you grunt so loud I can hear it over my music but the wind you rip is gross and seriously turn up in clean gym gear at least.

    True story: I’m doing some cardio on the machines, happen to look over...this dude is on the seated rear delt row, literally reading the entire Sunday paper. He had the unread section on one side and the messy, read side on the other side of him. I guess he was multitasking, although there was no exercising going on.

    Old man half dressed if that, getting malodorous perspiration all over the equipment. Also with the attitude they look good - strutting around as if posing.

    I just walk in, do my workout and go. If I chat with anyone, it's the gym owner or work colleagues in between sets while changing plates.

    I try to mind my own business and let people do their own thing but...... 1) people who want to chit chat with me while I'm in the middle of sets. 2) Those who sit on the equipment resting or texting. These things directly have an impact on my workout, which is why they would annoy me.

    People who try to lay claim to multiple stations at a time by putting a piece of clothing or something on each of several things because they're "super setting" or "circuit training"... I ask "mind if I work in on this?" out of courtesy only. I don't give a crap if you say "I have 10 more sets of 3, you can go next"... guess again Junior.

    Weight stack slammers - people on the phone not using equipment but hogging up the bench.

    The folks who decide the best place to congregate to shoot the breeze is right next to a machine no one in the group is using or worse someone NOT with the group is using so they either have to endure or abandon the workout. When I get the group next to me, I start singing along to my earphones until they leave, typically works pretty quickly.
