    I can't believe we have been farted on...
    Sorry, dude. I farted in anger. I'm a big Farters' Rights guy.

    (sprays some Febreeze air freshener on thread)

    apology accepted. now open a window.

    Not hating on farting in general. That's normal & healthy.

    This one smelled like rotten eggs. I had medical concerns for the man.

    It really bothers me when people get in the pool with stuff on. I know girls like to put conditioner on thinking it keeps the chlorine out of their hair...but the conditioner comes out in the water, and I have allergies to some perfumes, and it makes me feel like I'm gonna puke. I've had to stop my workout because of it.

    They take smoke breaks while working out?! When I do cardio, I try to get a machine at the far left of the bank of machines. I figured out the airflow in the gym seems to flow from left to right. If I get stuck in the middle of the bank of machines, I invariably wind up with a super stinky teenage male next to me. It's not just sweat, it's their crazy BO. I don't remember boys smelling that much when I was that age. That or the old men with really bad denture breath. Ugh.

    I walked into the weight room last week and there were 4 high school boys in there. JUST 4! and the whole room smelled like sweat and hormones. I don't remember smelling like that but then again it was a LONG time ago...

    You should go to a high school wrestling meet sometime. :sick:

    Lol! I worked a school wrestling tournament this past weekend. Two mats going all day. The whole place still reeked of sweat, BO and Axe Monday morning.

    I'd rather cigarettes than what happened to me at the gym on Sunday. I was on the elliptical next to a guy who was constantly farting! Ugh, and apparently he'd been on a protein diet or something because it was really strong & distracting.

    Not cool...I was eating a Triscuit and spit it out I laughed so hard! I would have been laughing uncontrollably if he was near me! I do not know what it is, I am 35 years old but farts still make me laugh!

    LMAO!!!! Good thing I wasn't eating anything. At times I also laugh when someone farts, whats even funnier is when they fart and look around to see if anyone heard/smelt it.

    When I use to go to the gym,( besides the smelly smokers and the women that have to put on tons of body spray), two people that I would sometimes get stuck next to on the cardio machines, smelled like they dived into a septic pool. OMG!! I almost barfed once. It was so gross. My daughter was with me one time and had no problems voicing her opinion. Both of the smellaholics looked offended, I burst out laughing in their faces.

    One time I was at the gym, a guy turned up in what I guess was his lunch break. Suit, tie etc. He got changed did a cardio workout for about 45-50 minutes so was really sweaty. After he finihed he went back to the changing room, wiped himself down with his towel, no shower first just a wipe down then put his original clothes on and back off to work in the offices over the road.

    I admit I didn't always shower after a gym workout because I'm embarassed being seen at my size. The difference id I live 10 minute walk from the gym so walk home in my gym gear and have a shower at home. I would never do a hard work out and just wipe myself down and go back to work in an office again.

    Totally on purpose. I very infrequently wash my gym clothes - and I am SWEATER for sure. People keep their distance, and I like that.

    I else would I remove the talkers from the gym equipment so I can use them. I usually change out my deodorant for Garlic and rub it on my arm pits and it helps. I get my workout and im out

    A good treadmill or elliptical has a fan that works like the air on an airplane and keeps everyone in their own "pew".
