My gym is 75% old folks, so there is an awful lot to get frustrated over

It's mostly a social occasion for them so they rotate between like 20 machines at once and get pissed if you happen to use one in their rotation. At the same time they'll sit on one machine and talk for 30 minutes.

Also, old dudes blow drying their nut sacks in the locker room.

If someone says no, then what's wrong with asking if you can work in between sets?

Yes this happens and it is horrifying. I don't understand why these old guys want to be nude so much in front of other men. Wtf.

Nothing at all.

ETA: But you can't ignore that when someone walks away from a machine and starts using another, the logical assumption is that you're done with that machine. You can't act like a bitch when someone starts using it while you're gone. You forfeited that machine when you walked away from it and started doing other workouts. Again, if you approach like a douche (with the tone you had in this thread), you're going to get told to wait.

We're clearly not talking about the same thing. Probably because you assume too much, and then defend that assumption whether it's true or not. I could not care less how you perceived my tone in this thread.

People who curl or shrug directly in front of the dumbbell rack.

People who use 7 pairs of dumbbells at the same time and have them scattered all across the floor.

People who don't rack their weights.

People who slam their weights down after each set.

People who work out in groups of more than 3 people.

People who smell like a-hole.

People who use chalk before they lift anything and get it everywhere.

People who yell like they're being stabbed.

People who drink out of milk cartons.

People who sit on the benches naked in the locker room.

People who lift up their shirts to admire their abs in the mirror.

People who fill up a rack with 5s and 10s so that the only way to access the 45 is to remove all of the smaller weights.

People who use foam rollers.

Guys who show nipple. I encourage ladies to arrive scantily clad.

I can go on...

That's a solid list bro. Add dudes taking selfies at the gym and then print this up as a gym poster.
