Not a lot. Lack of squat racks where I go. Old men walking around naked. But for the most part I enjoy my time there.11

Slow elderly lady who back floats for hours in the fast swimmers lane.
Even when there are folks waiting for a swim lane, that are able to swim fast she slowly backfloats back and forth.
Bless her heart she is "working out", but she needs to be in the outside lanes speedwise.
She (bottle lady) has OCD so she has this ritual with empty plastic bottles after each lap, pretending to pour something into her hands. She has been doing this bottle ritual after each lap for years.9 -
The combined list derived from prior threads on this topic is endless. Expect no different in this one.9

People who just sit at the machines, or hog the weights without doing a thing!! OMG pet peeve. Like helloooo, I'm trying to get out of here let me do my sets GTFO!!! lol14

How does body builders looking at themselves in a mirror impact you in any way?
How does someone "swaggering about" impact you in any way?
And unless people are photographing you, how does someone taking pics of themselves impact you in any way?52 -
My gym has a nice linear piece of turf for carries add pushing the prowler. People will set up to do floor work on the turf when there is.500 square feet of open space 5 feet away

I can totally see how people leaving a machine sweaty would be annoying.
I can't see how a persons " swagger " or looking at themselves in a mirror would have any impact on me at all.

For real. Isn’t that the point of exercise to look great inside and out?5 -

Devil’s advocate here - it would bother me if someone was taking photos in the locker room, which is what OP said. This is especially true after the incident with that (idiot) Playboy model who intentionally included a half naked woman in her locker room selfie.20 -
I honestly don't pay attention to others I'm doing my thing they are doing their thing

Yes it would also bother me if people where taking pictures of me while dressing ( that is why I included that part in my question of how it impacts the op )2 -

Actually that makes me very happy. They're not outside committing crimes. And they're not disrupting my workout. Couldn't ask for more from strangers.

But could having too much swagger be a crime?7 -
People that walk up to the dumbbell rack, grab a couple and do their set right there in front of the rack while you are stuck waiting to get to the one's right next to them. I hate interupting someone in the middle of a set.5

When people make loud noises as they exercise. It's not really necessary.11
