Annoying Gym People-Post Yours

[laser90]

The guys who spend hours in the wet area trying to fulfill their sexual urges and cop a pissy 'tude when rejected.

Have to go with Arkfarmbear on this one. Finally told on pesky dude "do you even know what the gym floor looks like?"

1) Lateral Pull down Machine Fail -- It's hard to describe but I've seen quite a few skinny guys do this whole body pull down with light weights on the machine without working out their lats or arms really.

2) People who don't return the weights or hog them all

3) People who work out in jeans. This is true in my town for construction workers who come in, pretty dirty, without cleaning up much or changing. People are already sweating at the gym, I don't want oil and dirt being tracked around too.

4) Like everyone else, people who grunt excessively. I don't understand it, can they not hear themselves?

I have to say, this gets the poetry award for the inventive use of American idioms: "cop a pissy 'tude" is as fresh and original as anything Shakespeare every wrote. Well done!

Man where to begin, I have many pet peeves, fortunately where I go to work out non of these are that much of an issue, but have been from time to time or have seen it other places:

1. Guys who have to grunt like a moose in heat. Unless its like the one rep that is like gawdawful heavy just breath normally.

2. Guys who do circuit training and take up 2 or more pieces of equipment at the same time as they rotate through. First off circuit training is for fags, do super sets instead and secondly, unless the gym is empty your only entitled to one piece of equipment at a time.

3. guys with poor hygiene, I mean really need I say more?

4. Guys who sing along with their mp3 player. Really, if you were any good you would be on my mp3 player.

5. Guys who want to talk to me. When Im there, im in the zone, its not social fuking hour.

6. Guys who hangout on a bench chit chatting when its busy and people are waiting for equipment, see above.

7. Guys who walk around brushing their teeth in the locker room while they are nude (apply this to shaving, blow drying their hair/body, applying lotion etc)

8. Guys who blow their nose on the steam room floor (I actually saw this once btw this guy was singing and dancing naked with his mp3 player goin)

9. guys who want to talk to me (i know I mentioned this earlier but now they are nude) leave me alone, its not social hour.

10. guys who leave their disgusting wet towels on the bench and there is no place to sit or place a gym bag.

11. Old guys who seem to not know that the towels are free and they should use them.

12. Fat guys who seem to not know that the towels are free and they can and should get two and and staple them together, better yet they should walk/run home and shower there, saving us the view and in turn losing more weight.

13. Guys who bring there daughters into the locker room.

14. Grandfathers who bring their grandsons into the locker room and all the other old dudes gather around to talk to him still without their towels.

15. People in the parking lot that block the row waiting for a closer parking spot, i mean really your going to the gym, look at the extra 50 feet you have to walk as a warm up.

I suppose I could go on, but many of you have already mentioned much of it.

"Circuit training is for fags"? Really? in this day and age that's the way you express it?

The only thing that really annoys me at the gym is when someone slams the weights down when they are finished their sets.

Gotta agree on the nasty steam room troll who never actually works out. Sorry buddy but all the in shape guys are waiting for you to leave before they get their post-workout reward.

the worst to me is the guy doing circuts who comes up to you when your halfway through a set and tell you that your on his station and you need to stop your set.

one time i had a guy go to the managment. lol the manager came over to me and asked me why i didnt give him the station. i stated that i saw him on another station, so he gave up this one. i was asked to leave. never went back, lol

Annoyances at the gym

1. A mid-60s guy working out on a leg extension machine has diarrhea on the seat and leaves it. Another gym member doesn't look on the seat and it sits in the mess. Luckily, the crowd identified the guy and shamed him.
2. Russian guys come to the one of the gyms I used to work out at and a few times they wore these neon-colored tank top dick holders garments on the gym floor. I know they don't wear that in western Russia.
3. After a heavy back workout, I go into a wet steam room and lay down on the hot tiles to ease the muscles. One guy comes in their as I'm half awake and starts to rub my chest, nipples, and run his hands down my abs without even asking. Then, he wonders why my cock comes alive and is erect. DUH!
4. I go to gym twice a day M-F. Was at my early morning workout before work and I bring my gym bag to change into work clothes. I'm done with showers but brushed my hair, shaved, and brushed my teeth at sink. Come back and this little Vietnamese guy has sprinkled talc powder everything in a eight-foot radius of himself, including all over my clothes. I was so pissed that it probably looked like roid rage but he snaps into action and wipes the powder off clothes with a lightly wet towel.

The fat cruisers who lurk in sauna and shower area. The ones that you see for years at the gym but never doing any actual work out. The other day, when I got on the treadmill for cardio I saw this regular comes in, he looks like he's 8 months pregnant. He heads straight to the locker room and I never see him on work out floor. I enter the sauna, he's there sitting by the glass door. A guys walk by in his boxer and his stares follow. From the locker room, I walk to the shower area in my shorts and he's convenniently standing by the entrance "to cool off". When I finish showering, I reach out behind the curtains and grab my towel and I notice he's there across from me in another stall with his curtains wide open showering naked. I made sure to not let him see anything.
