I saw one guy that did probably like 12 sets on the calf raise machine while taking 2 minute breaks in between.

I hate guys who work out in groups of 3+ and all use different dumbbells that they have scattered across the floor.

I also hate people who MUST stand as close to the dumbbell rack/mirror as possible when they do shrugs or curls. Yo, dumbass. Back up. We need to get by.

I also hate the not-so-subtle selfie takers and guys who manage to smell like a high school football locker room after a rainstorm practice.

Honestly, I hate 90% of people in gyms.

This, I pretty much only go when it's dead because this is how I workout. If someone takes one of the machines I just move on to something else no big deal.

Gym member who throws his/her weights on the floor after reps so it makes a loud noise instead of lowering it back down.

This! Also gym members who workout with their spouse and their spouse is yelling at them like they are a cuck.

I am most like guy #1 insofar as how I work out, but I don't catch an attitude if someone is using a machine I want to use. I catch an attitude when, for instance, someone is using the leg curl machine and wants to camp out on it until he finishes his sets. I've never said anything, but it does suck. I'll usually just ask if they mind if I work in a set, and that always works. What about the person who does dumbbell curls right in front of the rack/mirror and blocks access to the other weights?

Guy who sings out loud to his music or grunts or does any type of "Look at me" things.

The a-hole that does curls or shrugs right in front of the rack so I have to wait to grab my dumbbells or wait to put mine back bc he's standing right in front of where I need to re rack.

If they started first and you don’t ask to “work in” then you are in the wrong.

Leaving plates on the ground is bull shite....On the other hand if you can’t handle their weight then maybe you need to up your game!

#1. Look fricko, I’m renting this place same as you so don’t get pissed when I grab a set. I don’t give a shite about your circuit training, I’ve only got an hour for lunch and want to get my shite done too. Make a hole.

Aka slam man. There’s always a couple of those “look at me” types in the gym.

These are reasons why I go to the gym at 5am. The douchebags aren't awake yet.

The dumbbell collector is my least favorite. Everything from 10’s - 50’s are piled up around him for 40 minutes.

How about the ones who stand or sit there and talk/socialize when you want to use the fricking equipment and get out of there.
