Are you a GYM IDIOT?

I don't take the time to wash off my makeup before the gym. Is that a crime?

Yes, forgetting to take off your earrings is also.

The guy with little 14" biceps who holds his arms a foot away from his body like his massive lats are forcing him to walk that way. Like a balloon under each arm.

I wen't to West Point, where we called that "Cadet Invisible Lat Syndrome"

I'm guilty of the makeup thing - but I go to the gym right after work, and I wear makeup to work. Weekend gym seshes = clean face.

Same here about going after work and when I go on the weekends, it's usually in the afternoon and I've been running errands, so I have makeup on. I'm not a heavy makeup user and don't wear lipstick, so hopefully it's not that obvious that I have it on. Besides, it's all gone by the time I finish working out anyways.

People who "claim" two or three machines so that they don't have to wait between sets, so everyone else has to wait instead.

Do I sense some jealousy, or maybe some misplaced anger?

If someone is paying their 30-40 dollars a month to go to the gym and stand in clown makeup, I could care less. I am there to work out, if they are affecting my ability to do so, then I get pissed.

I find things rather humorous though; The old men talking to the young women with their balls hanging out, the dudes yelling and getting all into their ability to lift something heavy, the really fat guy giving advice to other people working out etc.

The things that actually affect my work outs that piss me off; not cleaning up your sweat, the *kitten* hole that is running to each punching bag in the room (20 of them) and striking a few and then running laps around the entire room occasionally hitting a different bag every time (just annoying as hell) the people that leave all the gym provided equipment laying around making me move it or put it away so I can use that area and the guys in the basketball court playing 3 on 3 full court, or the guy that is just shooting indicating to me that he has the court first and to give him 15 minutes; really you cannot stand to have one other person shoot to the same basket ? Yeah those affect my workouts, therefore I get pissy and by all means I say something.

Ohhh I HATE the girls who come to the gym looking like they are at a damn night club, Hair all curled and makeup on, tiny little tanktop with no sportsbra. I go to the gym to work my *kitten* off and expect to look like crap doing so

YES YES AND YES!!!! And I look how all the guys flock to her even though she's lifting 5 lbs and I'm lifting 20. I'm no there to pick up dates, but guys.. seriously? You think she's skinny because she's healthy and fit.. it's called good genes.:grumble:

HAHA!

Ever notice the person driving around the parking lot looking for the closest spot possible? They came to workout, why do you need a front row spot?

I do that when it's effin' cold.

This is a funny thread on BB.com that is 6 years old and 8k+ replys, lets see what you consider a gym idiot.

if you drop any dumbell under 55lbs your a gym idiot even although some lifts there is not reason to drop weight at all
Screamers that you can hear over your head phones
People who do curls in the squat racks
Lets hear what you got

My biggest pet peeve:

Holding Onto Treadmill Bars For Dear Life As They Crank The Treadmill As Fast As It Will Go

if you have to hang onto the treadmill bars then you're not working out, you're being dragged.

I do this, but then I'm trying to show off my Porsche :-D

And I like parking close to the windows so I can keep an eye on it

Hey leave that guy alone he is probably awesome!! I bet he knows dozens of bird calls

There are a few girls at my gym who always come in together, get on ellipticals next to each other, and proceed to shriek loudly about their personal lives. Why can't they save that **** for the bar?!

This guy always makes me laugh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp5pM_rJrcI

I think it's hilarious that people complain so much about things that have no impact on their gym experience while there are so MANY things to vent about that directly make your gym experience suck.

I hate LURKERS for example. I have to do these really slow negatives (eccentric hamstrings) for rehab. It takes me about 15 to 20 mins to do 3 sets of 12-15 reps because I isolate, and do one leg at a time. There is no rest break between sets, so it's not like I'm just sitting there taking up space. But every once in a while some dude just LOOMS over me for 5 to 10 minutes. Next time, I'm going to turn around and say "I've got six more sets, if youre waiting" just to get him to leave.
