    I try not to worry what other people are doing or if people might be looking at me. But I HATE getting on a machine that is all gross and sweaty or watching someone walk away without cleaning their machine, bench, mat or equipment. I also dislike that a bunch or the machines keep breaking down. Its annoying to have to wait for a machine while there are half a dozen broken ones.

    1. Girls with full make-up, perfectly done hair and the outfit that has never seen a drop of sweat. The only time I have ever gone to the gym with make up on was when I was going to the fitness center at work and it was during the day.
    2. When guys grunt, groan, huff and puff when lifting a ridiculously small amount of weight. There's this one guy who does that at the gym. I lift way more than him and never have I grunted or groaned.
    3. People who chit chat on the machines. If you can talk you're not working hard.
    4. People who try to talk to me when I'm working out. I'm not here to socialize I'm here to get in and get out.

    Oh I could go on and on!

    I can talk while running a 10-minute mile. I can also talk while sprinting. Some people are able to do that.

    I don't get the whole make-up hate out there. Yeah on a Saturday I wouldn't get dolled up go to the gym but I go during the day and most evenings and I have make-up on. I'm not going to take the time to put my make-up on/off multiple times a day. Who cares!

    There isn't much that bothers me.

    - Guys that rack a bar with 4-45's on each side and then leave it. Put your damn weights away.
    - People who don't wipe down benches or machines when they've got nasty sweat all over them.
    - And don't stand naked in the locker room and try to have a conversation with me. I don't care to see all of your lady parts no matter how good your body looks.

    Lol! this is funny. I was wearing a sports bra and 2 tank tops but the top one was yellow. I was doing barbell rows and when I came up I was nipping. So then I tried to do the quick rub but do it on the sly. It worked but who knows who saw me doing it. So later that night I was talking to my husband and I said yeah what was up with me nipping out today. I said that was weird because that normally does not happen when I'm lifting. He's like yeah I noticed and if I noticed that means at least a couple of other guys noticed. I said no way - I said I covered and fixed that so fast. He's like no babe....guys saw it but that's okay because we like it. LMAO!

    3 - those people who think its ok to stop and talk to you when your walking from one machine to another! i dont mind smiling and saying hello, but when the chat to you that wastes like 5 minutes of my time! i have payed to go to the gym to workout not to stand and talk rubbish!

    Darn those friendly people! They should be banned from the gym!

    No.. its justified if its taking you away from being able to concentrate on your workouts whether or not you are in the middle of it, or going to the next machine. If you are trying to focus on your workouts and, especially when the gym is busy and you want to get to that next piece of machinery to workout before the texting-teens and lunks grab it and seriously waste time on it instead of working out on it...

    constantly changing machines

    That's called doing circuits and is a highly effective method of fat-burning

    What annoys me are the girls who come is so obviously just to try and pull a bloke - they sit on the bikes and cycle at about 60rpm for half an hour, don't even so much as break into a sweat, and that's it. Stick to nightclubs, girls, and letus serious gym bunnies have the use of the machines, thanks

    People taking up the power rack for doing things that don't benefit from using a rack.

    in my boxing gym: people that make mortal-kombat sounds every time they punch.

    KYA KYA KYA.

    STOP IT. This is not kiddie karate! You're a grown-*kitten* adult.

    People who sit on the equipment talking on their cellphones. If you're not going to use the machine, get the hell off it so someone else can use it!

    I get annoyed by the women who wear a full face of makeup with the hair all nice and pamper to the gym. To each its own, but I don't get it. I look like death because I am going to be sweating and working my *kitten* off. It is just a waste of makeup.

    Selfishly, I get annoyed by the people who pass me on the indoor track. I am trying to not collapse and die, and these people are going way faster than me and are running like it is just whatever to them. I feel like if we were in the internet world at the gym, they would yell LOL at me when they pass me.

    I also get annoyed by the people who stare while I am working out, and when I catch my reflection while working out...'cause damn, that ain't right.

    people that stand right in front of the dumbbell rack

    I'm a fat girl busting my *kitten* on the elliptical, sweat running off me, I don't want to "try" to carry on a conversation. I just want to breathe!
