I haven't worked out in about a year now but I hated the people who would try to give me unsolicited advice. Mind your own damn business

People see it as a fresh start and want to improve their life by getting healthy, screw them, right?
no more power to them if they are sincere. But screw them if they aren't committed to getting healthy. They are an annoyance at best and a hindrance at worst. Like the uninformed voter, don't participate if you aren't really committed.

They may stick it out longer if not for the condescending nature of some of the regulars.
They paid their money, just like everyone else.

The fat fricks who will sit there at 6:30 pm, peak time at any gym, with 300 pounds on the bench, go to another machine/rack and add a bunch of weight to that, do one set on that other machine/rack, then stand guard over their 300 pound bench for 20 fricking minutes not doing anything while the rest of the gym waits for the other 3 or 4 flat benches to open up.
I swear, it's like they are seeing who has big enough balls to ask to work in a set or to tell them to get the frick over themselves.

They pay their membership dues and when they stop coming and keep paying they are subsidizing yours, so stop whining.
Most gym people suck including the "committed" people. If other people annoy you, work out at home.

Other than that.... Curling in the squat rack, Leaving one station to do a set at another, then coming back to the first station to tell you they are using that station too
Here's the thing about this, I have no problem with it and will do it myself if I feel like it when it is low traffic. If it's me and 10 other people in the gym, it just doesn't matter. Do your thing. But that's at like 7 in the morning. You can't do that shite at 6:30pm. And oddly enough, the 7 in the morning folks don't wait around small talking and shite because they are the ones with jobs that they have to get to. So they get in, do their shite, and get out. It's a joy to work out in the mornings. I hate when I oversleep and have to find myself at the gym after work. fricking hate it.

People just sitting on the equipment after a set waiting until the have rested enough to do another one.
What? Unless it's a ten minute wait between sets, why wouldn't they rest on the equipment unless they are going to get a drink of water or something? If you are in such a hurry, ask to work in. The guy doing a set every 60 to 120 seconds will actually probably not give a shite.

I'm ok with it if it's dead. I am at the gym from 5pm to 6:30pm. That shite don't fly at that time.
There was a trainer at my gym. Training a client at 5:30. Doing squats, then going across the gym to do lunges, then back to squats, etc... I waited until they left the squat rack, hopped on that thing, and told him that shite don't fly at this time when people are waiting.

Not wiping esp when leaving sweat marks.

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?

Get your reps in and move on! Hate waiting for equipment

Most annoying pet peeve at the gym?
-Anyone wearing a wife beater
-Couples who have really intimate workouts and hold hands and shite walking from exercise to exercise
-Douches who workout together and scream talk with their headphones on
-People who go into the group X rooms and use bluetooth speakers to play their music as if everyone wants to listen to their shitty illiterate rap shite
-People who listen to extraordinarily loud music on their headphones in the sauna when the sauna is full up.
-People who just hang out at the gym likes its a night club
-People who take out shite (We're talking stations with different equip, etc.) and dont put any of it up....
-Dumb fricks who pour bottles of water into the ELECTRIC sauna machine. (I'm mid 20s had to explain this to a middle-aged man sadly, and he ended up breaking the sauna and it was closed for a week)

Those things are just hilarious. Are they really that dumb that they cant add similar units of capacity up to a gallon? And are they going to drink it that quickly? and its a huge deal to have to refill?
16.9 oz bottles. 128 oz. = 1 gallon. There, goodbye gallon jugs dumbfricks.

People that don't clean up after themselves in the locker room.
I see idiotic behavior out on the gym floor every day but it really doesn't bother me. When people leave towels all over the place, locker doors open, unflushed toilets, etc it drives the shite out of me. At my gyms, it is usually regulated to the high school kids who act like their mom is picking up after them, but there are a few adults who do it as well.

not whining, just adding to the exchange of ideas here. Why so defensive?

Whoa, lighten up Scooter. I'm sorry you signed a 12 month contract and quit after the second week. I didn't make you do it. Blame yourself.
Thanks for the dues though.

The guy rapping rich home quan some type of way before every set..... Pacing after sets pretending to scratch his back so he can flex and check out the mirror from every angle. You ain't winning at life....just give it up!!
