Most annoying pet peeve at the gym?

Whats everyone pet peeve? I think I found my newest pet peeve, and that is someone having a spotter when he or she uses the smith machine for bench pressing.

The stupid grunting that isn't necessary.

I agree

Studied have shown grunting works. Have you watched womens tennis lately?

Of all the annoying shite that happens at a gym, someone getting spotted on a smith machine is the one that gets to you the most? 
Not the idiots that weigh 275 lbs and chalk up to deadlift only 315 lbs and scream like their assholes are on fire while doing it? Not the guy that "circuit trains" on 5 different selectorized machines at the same time? Not the big fat hairy as shite guy that wears muscle shirts and sweats all over everything but refuses to wipe it down? Not the old men walking around the showers with their balls hanging to the floor and no towel? Not the guy that starts using a bench in front of the dumbbell rack then proceeds to have a 10 min conversation in between every set after that?

lack of awareness is up there. I was doing incline bench yesterday and some clown was stretching by swinging his leg side to side. He moved over while doing it and was pretty close to being popped by the end of the bar.

Dudes that make dinosaur noises while lifting and slam the weights around. I get it, you're an alpha.

circuit training in a gym not designed for it.
Somtimes I'll jump in front of someone if they seem douchey enough

When people don't take my advice on how to lift properly, or at least say thank you. I gave you free advice and you didn't even have to ask for it.

pretty much everything
I hate going to gyms.
I hate the bros with their water jugs and pimply backs, I hate the vapid bitches that put on makeup and do their hair that stand around or text on machines for 30 minutes, I hate the fat guy that walks for 30 minutes on the treadmill everyday then gets a Big Mac on the way home, I hate the old naked guy in the locker room...
I hate them all.
Yet I still go.

Maybe the guy is getting a few forced reps at the end of his set?
You're gym is awesome if that's your biggest pet peeve.
Lately mine is the group of 3-4 college age guys that all decided one hungover sunday morning that they would start working out on Monday. They don't know what they are doing, take up way to much space with their posse, and generally act like doucebags while they are in there. They won't be there in 6 months so how about they do us all a favor and leave now?

And I wouldnt really call this a pet peeve because I'm in my own little world in the gym and tune everyone out for the most part...but the guys that wear their matching workout gear make me chuckle. Grey Nikes with a neon swoosh, gray Nike shorts, neon Nike shirt, backwards Nike hat on mondays. Substitute neon for Orange on Wednesdays. Wash rinse repeat. I guess some guys are trying to impress the ladies at the gym, but these guys never talk to girls there. Congrats on the outfit I guess. Should really improve your numbers.

You follow him on the way home or something?Posted on 12/16/14 at 8:38 am to lsucoonass
People that talk really really loud whether it's on the cell phone or with one of their douche bag partners.

lack of awareness
My biggest pet peeve is the idiots standing in front of the DB rack doing their workouts. I don't give a shite if it's shrugs, curls, side raises, or rows.....move the hell away from the rack. They seriously get pissed when I interrupt their set by barging into their space to re-rack my dumbbells where they are supposed to go.

I know it works, but more often than not its the people who are overdramatizing it. Someone that's squatting 205 for quarter squats should not be grunting.

Not really a pet peeve I guess since it doesn't happen very often, but there is a guy who literally sings out loud the entire time he works out. And I don't mean in a barely perceptible voice. This guy's basically doing karaoke. The other day, a girl who is a regular said "Will you just shut the frick up!" This guy didn't miss a single beat and kept on singing.

I'm sorry but you shouldn't need a spotter when you are on a smith machine, period. All those other things annoy me too.
