THE MOST ANNOYING HUMANS

Options
This morning at the gym I was the only person on the ellipticals leaving 2 rows of 20 free elliptical machines free... So WHY did the only other two people in the cardio section, two ladies decide to plonk yourselves down on either side of me and huff and puff away and constantly look over at my screen! Seriously!?!?! Grrrr!

    I second that. They just want to do what you're doing so that they can look the way that you look. :o) Nonetheless, rude & annoying!!

    I agree. They were probably just using you as inspiration! I always try to pick a machine at least one away, or not directly across, the other people working out (especially if there are very few people vs. a ton of machines). Its not something I would choose to do, but take it as a compliment!

    That's just silly... they should have just went there and focused on themselves.

    Nothing you could've done in that situation except politely move (but why should you interupt your session because of THEM)?

    Highly annoying!

    some people feel better working out around other people, only thing I can think of when in an empty gym folks pick machines right beside the ones in use. I'm always prepared to move machines if I'm in the gym, less disruption than being annoyed and ruining a day being grumpy over it :P

    Are you serious? So what if they are trying to lose weight? good for them!
    Sorry that it interrupted your work out time, but that hardly makes them the MOST ANNOYING HUMANS.

    It seems to happen to me most days at the gym. There are about 12 arc trainers and I can be the only one working on one and by the time I leave them 40-45 minutes later, there's 2 to 3 people on each side of me and the machines at the other end are totally empty. I think I'll move up there next time, but then I might end up next to big sweaty guy who has a huge puddle of sweat under his machine.

    As for the treadmills, there are at least 25 of those and I usually end up with someone on each side of me and plenty of empty machines all around. Who knows why, I try to skip at least one machine and even two if it's not crowded, just so I am not in the other person's space.

    I get equally peeved at that same thing! Seriously, go away.

    I think it's something deep in our brains (instinct) that causes people to want to "be near" other people. Next time you go to any type of mega-mart, look at the people who park on the outskirts. It's not just the employees; it's customers who park near other cars for no reason. I try to park farther away these days, and I'll pick a spot at random, away from everybody else. When I come back, my car will be surrounded! For no reason!

    I would've moved to make a point.

    Wow that car thing is incredible!! It definitely must be some psychological thing. When the first one did it I couldn't believe it I was too shocked to think of moving or saying anything. 5 minutes later when the second one came along I thought it must have been some new trend I was missing out on!!

    It is irritating yes, but at least they were trying, maybe they were looking up to you!
