Weird things people do at your gym

I’ll start with the sauna/steam room area. It’s a unisex one by the pool, so you have to wear some form of clothes. But some people will go into the steam room in full street clothes including shoes, hat, I’ve even seen backpacks in there. One guy yesterday was FaceTiming someone 
Why would you want your shoes and clothes to get soaking wet in the steam room? And I imagine it can’t be good to bring a phone in there

Just some of the uses of the equipment boggles my mind on how they go about day to day life. I mean the pictures are right beside them.

I have a garage gym now.
The thing that always got me (and you can accuse me of stereotyping) was old guys in the locker room with no sense of boundaries. Make some effort to put clothes on. Don't blow dry your taint buck naked with a foot on the sink.
It was very reliably the over 60 crowd that would just show me way more than I wanted to see.

A guy at the Y I used to go to would set the treadmill at a low speed then proceed to dance for the next hour. Took full advantage of it too, went forward, backwards and sideways while dancing.

Yup. They make no attempt to put their clothes on. I’m sitting on bench in the middle of the lockers to put my shoes on, and an over 60 dude literally walks to the same bench, props his leg up on the bench, and proceeds to dry is saggy junk off right by my head. Worst part about the gym by far.

1/4 rep squats with 315. Like, how can you possibly think you’re doing that right?

If there is a hand dryer, they will dry their cock and balls off with it.
They call it hot head, I call it global warming.

This x 1000
I have gotten angry at some old geezer who was drying his balls by my face while I was tying my shoes. I told him less than politely to go shove his balls in someone else’s face. I don’t understand why they think I want to have some old dude’s nuts in my face. And they smell like rancid arse.

An old dude a few weeks back was just chilling in a leather chair naked watching tv at my gym. The old naked guy is one thing but this was wayyyyyy over the line.
There’s also a list of guys that seem to be there for hours that I rarely see actually doing any lifting just hanging out and bullshitting with the occasional set mixed in.

I like the standing dumbbell curls that are more back workout than arm workout

Not too weird, but, something I see a lot and bothers me. Someone gets on a machine, does one set then either sits on the machine until their next set (usually 3 minutes) or is sitting on the machine on the phone not using.
I don't have an issue asking these people if I can work in, but, it is so inconsiderate to do something like this.

I made a post years ago on the OT, at my old gym we had a guy we called "the butterfly"
This guy was hilarious. Late 50's, full body fake tan, long flowing locks of dyed blonde hair. He looked like a walking 1983 Hawaiian Tropic ad. (he was in pretty good shape for a man his age)
That fricker's pre-game in the men's room was a chore by itself. He'd spend a good 40 min in the locker room primping. Shower, wash/dry hair, raw eggs, full-on ensemble with immaculate weight lifting shoes, super short shorts, tucked in double sleeveless/wifebeater combo.
then....he'd actually start walking around the gym
and walk
and walk
and walk
and walk
just wander around for 15, 20 minutes at a time, no exercise or anything...
Then, he'd randomly jump on a machine and just max it out, do 1 set of like 5....and done
And back to wandering around. He tried so hard to be noticed, strike up conversations with any female. This would go on for over an hour. Then it was back in the locker room, shower, hair, dry, new clothes to go home.
You could bank on seeing him at least 2 to 3 times a week.....not working out

There was a guy next to me doing seated dumbell curls with 60s and I doubt he was getting any bicep activation at all
Ego lifting seems to be the thing these days.

There's this guy at ours who's pretty nice and genuine but he carries one of those large gym bags around like
he's going on a week long international vacation. Spends 30 minutes on the power rack maybe doing 5 sets...granted he's actually lifting but this is in the middle of rush hour so to speak.
Then he picks up his bag and waits till one of the benches clears before dropping it right under the bench and super setting with two other exercises.

A couple of weeks ago, a guy was about to bench press. He was doing 275lbs. A woman was standing there looking at his weight. I thought she was trying to figure out what he was about to bench. Nope, as the guy had his head down, doing his thing, she grabs the 25 off his bar! I was trying to get his attention when she decided she don't want the 25, she needs the 45. He catches her with the corner of his eye as he goes down to bench. We looked at each other wide eyed and started laughing.

Former Phoenix Suns coach Paul Silas is guilty of this at my gym. Most wear a towel but this cat walks back and forth between the locker area, the showers and the bathrooms buck naked without a care in the world.

Back when I used to lift at around midnight, we had a power lifter who at the top of his lungs would yell “GET frickED!” right as he would start the lift.
I still get a laugh thinking about it to this day.
