**** that really annoys me in the gym....

[Xenomorph]

1. When there is one cold water fountain in the entire place and some college chick wearing a XXL t-shirt hurries to get in front of you so that she can fill her half gallon sized water bottle before getting on the treadmill and setting it on 3mph.

2. Guys that walk up to the dumbell rack and grab a couple of weights and proceed to do their entire routine standing right there making it impossible for anyone else to get to the weights.

3. When Two-Ton Larry, who started sweating when he flopped out of bed that morning, rolls off an exercise bench leaving it drenched in his stink. Yo, pal.... there's a bottle of disinfectant and paper towels just a step or two away. Use'em.

4. When an old geezer has 3 machines staked out for his circuit and he expects nobody to use any of them until he's through. Swear to God, this guy goes to my gym.

5. Guys that choose the middle of the free weight floor to do their entire plyometric routine. Damn dude, there's a whole aerobics studio sitting there empty.

6. Guys that are hoping to be elected Mayor of the Gym. You're there to burn off some of those cheetos, fatass. The fact that I've never taken my earbuds out the whole 10 minutes you've stood in front of me talking should be a clue.

7. The soccer mom who thinks the leg extension machine is the perfect resting spot to sit and have a 20 minute phone conversation about the color of her new kitchen.

8. The idiot lady who brings her 12 year old son to the kids' playroom and he proceeds to teach the little ones all the cool words.

Any more?

I can sympathize with #8. My wife goes everyday, and my kids come back with all kinds of new things I have to try to immediately remove from their brain.

I have on occasion forgotten to spray, but I make an effort to spray every station I used at the gym. And it is really annoying when you want to use a machine and you can't tell if someone is there using it or not because they left all the weights on it. If I don't see a towel I proceed to use the machine.

 

[SyonaraStanz]

...the jackass that doesn't rack his weights when finished.

Even worse: the jackass that racks his weight over other sized weights, i.e. the rack for the 45 lbs. plates has a 45, then a 25, then a couple of 5's, then a 35............. so I get to move all of them to get the 45.

People socializing is my next pet peev.

[missouridawg]

they don't re-rack all of the weights they used. Especially the juiced up meathead who just got done doing sets of 315 and I'm left to re-rack all those damn plates so I canget my workout on at a much lower weight. Clean up after yourself and stop taking steriods.

 

[RiverCityDawg]

For me it's the really fit good looking girls that use "working out" as an excuse to wear way less clothing than they would normally wear in public...wait, was this about things we like or don't like?

Seriously though, the dude that stands right in front of the dumbells makes me want to "accidentally" drop a 35lber on his foot.</p>

I used to work out every day in DC and the guys in the gym would just preen constantly for half an hour in the showers/bathroom totally naked. I mean after you've been dry for over 10 minutes is there a reason not to put some clothes on?

 

[davatron]

the guy hogging the flat bench taking his sweet time between sets so he can text, IM, check Facebook, whatever.

 

[Big Sheep81]

and talk about either sports or hunting. I go on my lunch time and have to work around guys (and gals) sitting on the machines and killing time. The retired folks are just as bad.

#9 should be when the gals come in 2's or 3's and all get on treadmills or elipticals together and run over the time watching soap opera or the Anthony trial.

Burns my ***.....

 

[KingBarkus]

1. The geezer who wants to explain the entire debt ceiling issue with you in an unsolicited conversation while in the nude.

2. The guys who congregate in front of the window peering into the aerobics room to gawk at the babes...causing the instructor to dim the lights so the rest of us can't see a thing.

3. The guys who leave crap in the shower stall including used band-aids.

4. The guys who take forever to complete reps on a machine. Today man before my heart gets into a resting mode.

 

[Shmuley]

Creeper dude that causes you to wonder whether he's a *** or a perv.

 

[hullabaloodog]

Why bring a towel if you're just going to shower and then drip dry while you strut about the locker room? And then you have the audacity to try and strike up a conversation about the weather? Dry off. Cover up. Do something other than using the towel as a neck accessory.

 

[Big Sheep81]

I always love the ones walking around buck naked with a towel draped over their shoulder. I want to scream at them to put tht towel to use. I am not at the gym to look at somedude's junk.

One day i get to my locker to get my clothes after a workout.An old guyis sitting right in front of my locker stark naked. When he moved so i could get my ****, there was a pile of sweat from his nasty *** right there on the bench. I wanted to kick him inhis face.

I saw a guy on the bench one day actually slapping himself in the face to get pumped up!

This thread is Exhibit A-ZZ as to why I have purchased P90X and Insanity and now do my working out in the comfort of my own home!

Courthouse Northeast is a very creepy place. Luckily, I rarely have to go there.

The chick doing dead lifts wearing spin shorts so threadbare that one can tell what color her Victoria's Secret lace panties are, or if they are even there...

It's all funny, but around 3-3:30 is when he starts talking about that guy...

 

[PBRME]

I used to work out in a gymthatPenny Hardaway frequented. During basketball off season he would come in with his entourage of at least 20. Penny would be the only one there to exercise and spentmost of histime sitting on one of the benches while his entourage sat on what ever piece of equipment was near by. Or they would gather in front of different stations blocking them off from use. I had to change my routine in the summer to avoid those *** clowns.

 

[FreeDawg]

I do a different type of workout than most people so I get the occasional questions/insights bs. I wear 17ing headphones and a mean mug for a reason, I dont want to talk to you, nor do I care about your opinion.

Pet peeve number 2 is the groups who do like 5 sets of one exercise with 2-3 min breaks between each set. Hurry the 17 up! There are no trophy's,medals, or parades awarded for doing a 3 hour workout.

The people who hold onto the treadmill bar. And especially the lady who turns the incline all the way up, then leans back and holds on. If your body is still perpendicular to the treadmill, you're not gaining anything by cranking up the incline. Moron.

 

[goldenwavedawg]

The guy before me left 30 on the machine. 8 on each bottom spindle and 7 on each top spindle. I only need 12 total at most.

I chose to move leg day to Thursday.

 

[AgDawg]

1) Not putting the plates back in proper place on tree or worse just leaving them laying on the ground.
2) Idiots who mark their gym equipment by leaving a towel or water bottle on it. (Yeah I am the jerk whoremoves your crapand throws it in the floor so I can get my workout in)
3) Dumbell hoarders who have every freaking size of dumbell by their bench or even worse the guy who forgets to putthem up and leavesthe one dumbelljust sitting there usually in a corner near the mirror which takes me several minutes to look around to find.
4) The punks who come in wearing these ragged t-shirts with the sleeves cutoff and sit there on the leg press or machine and just talk to each other about how cool they are what bar they will be hitting up that night.

 

[DaRealistDawg]

This video personifies the art of benchdouching. Big black dude, Eugene, lives in the gym. I often wonder how they don't get tired going everyday. Guess they are addicted.
