That One Person....
I know there have been plenty of these threads and there will be undoubtably be some people who will say, "stop being negative, etc" but I dont care.
When you spend as much time as I do in gym theres has to be somewhere to vent about the one person who drives you nuts. Plus I know majority of you, understand and also require this need to vent.
ALSO its freaking hilarious... :laugh:
Right, theres this guy in his 50's, who skips. Not just any skipping, but skipping in peak time in a very limited stretching space and has very nearly taken my eye out a handful of times. He just skips and skips and doesn't actually give a damn who he almost de-brains. Then to make things worse, he throws in these fancy moves and then when he finishes his failed attempt at these moves looks in the mirror to see who was watching and then if he happens to successfully make eye contact he smiles and approaches you and tries to teach you how to "skip like him". I cannot stand that. Nobody was watching you dude. The rest of us were busy with our workouts, so stop looking for attention and get on with it.
Words just cannot describe how much I would love to take that skipping rope and smack him with it.
So your turn, describe that one person who goes to your gym that makes you want to lose it.

LOL. Wow that is so random.
He sounds to me like he might be seeking a little bit of attention out of loneliness.
Some people really do go to the gym to socialize, it's not uncommon, but this is definitely a strange approach!
edit: There's this one girl... She must be in her early twenties. She comes to the gym dressed REALLY skimpy. I mean whatever floats your boat, doesn't bother me. But then she sits on the hip abductor (Or the gynecology machine as I like to call it
)
and she talks to aaaaaaaaaall the good looking men around, while sitting, not actually doing the exercise, just at the widest possible position so her legs are spread out like a gymnast. LOL. It just looks INSANE. I've only seen her actually do it twice, and both times she isn't doing it properly, anyway... Oh geez. Definitely is entertaining to watch the men trip over themselves to talk to her though.0 -

Ha! thats classic!!!!!!!! theres got to be one girl in every gym who is like that... :laugh:0 -
Get there before him and put up a no skipping sign on the mirror.0

Get there before him, take all the ropes, and keep them by you. If he asks for one, say you're using them. Repeat the whole time during your workout.0

Nobody in my gym
There is one lady who uses the elliptical machine, and she's like 6-7 months pregnant. I don't really have a problem with her, more of a jealousy issue...I can't do the elliptical for 30 minutes, much less be preggo and doing it.0 -
I'm a member at a very large club in my area and for some reason all the old men love to walk around the locker room slinging their little thingies around. Not like they have just got tenout of the shower and walked back to their locker to get dressed. They brush their teeth, blow-dry their hair, have group discussions, floss, etc butt naked. Why? lol0

I completely misunderstood what you meant by skipping until the second to last sentence. I had this image of this 50 year old dude skipping like a school girl at the gym. Talk about a good laugh.0 -
I no longer belong to a gym, but when I did, there was this one lady...she came in dressed to the hilt in an 80's outfit. I mean, hair, leggings, short shorts, high tops, I mean the real deal. I started laughing when I first saw her. I kept looking for a camera or something. then, she started exercising and doing these really weird things and spreading her legs, and just strange things. I still kept looking for a camera. Then, I saw her over and over and over again, week after week after week. I realized it wasn't a joke at all. That's just her. It didn't really annoy me or anything and she didn't get in my way. It was just really freaky bizarre. I mean like right out of the post-disco early 80's Olivia Newton John stuff. Crazy. You have to see it to believe it.0

Yes, and when one is talking to the other, one will always put their outside leg up on the bench while they talk. i could never figure that out. Is it an offer? What the deal? People are weird.0 -

You just can't imagine what was going on in my head when you described him as trying to do fancy moves and asking people if they wanted to learn how to skip like him.0 -

Don't worry I had the same visions in my head of him skipping along sans rope doing all sorts of funky moves. la la la I was going to ask for a video too!!I know there have been plenty of these threads and there will be undoubtably be some people who will say, "stop being negative, etc" but I dont care.

Hahaha! I thought the exact same thing!
When I used to go to the gym there was this older woman in her 50's who would go work out and she would be dressed in jeans, a nice top and full blown hair and make up! I'm talking about eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, the whole nine! Never understood why. And she would just walk around with 5 pound weights doing curl ups.0 -
Not all men are like that though. I was lifting weights one day and this really nice looking woman walked in. She was in tremendous shape and within a minute some guy comes over and asks her if she needed help lifting weights...she was lifting 10 lbs. She was like no thanks, I'm good. Within the next 10 minutes I counted 7 different men ask her if she needed help and at this point I actually laughed out loud without even trying. She asked me what's so funny? I told her I have been lifting heavy weights for 30 minutes now and not one single guy asks me if I need help and here you are lifting 10 lbs and you have been approached 7 times. She said it's rediculous, everytime she works out she gets hit on and it doesn't matter what she wears. She said she came in one time wearing sweat pants, a sweat shirt and a baseball cap thinking she could just work out and some guy tells her that he loves women who wear sweats. Some women like the attention and others can't escape it.0

smelly dude who always wears the same outfit and apparently never washes it. OH. MY. GOD. I can smell you from across the room, and it's quite vomit-inducing when I'm out of breath from doing burpees. Also, there isn't enough Lysol in the world that will make me get on the bench after you've used it.0
