Biggest Gym Pet Peeve?

[SS Junk]

People who sound like they are taking a massively painful dump with every rep they do.
People who are completely oblivious to their surroundings and unload a bar before asking.
Oh, and those who force advice on technique when the advice I have received is from competitive power lifters.

People that ask me my max on whatever workout I'm doing. Actually, people that try to converse with me in general when I work out.

Hey, u need a spot on this set?

What is the best technique?

What's your max....

When in the sauna or steam room, people who have their music so loud everyone can hear it. Or the people who hum or sing out loud. And smack their gum lol.

I don't have that problem because I always look fucking pissed when I'm working out and always have my headphones in.

I usually turn my music down, but I always ask if it's too loud to tell me.

Another pet peeve is people who wear headphones and are oblivious to what is going on around them.

There is no way I like being in a public place and unaware of my surroundings.

I always have my headphones in but I always look everywhere the whole time I'm in the gym. I'm sure people think I'm weird as fuck because I always catch them staring at me LOL. Either that or they think I'm some kind of zoo animal that needs to go away.

LOL... especially when they are slammed to the floor.
Ah... and when the TV is turned to DOCTOR FUCKING PHIL instead of the NFL channel... Yes, I work out at a "club" full of soccer moms, but it has daycare and no others around my area do.

I normally put my head phones on and ignore all the idiots huffing ,puffing and yelling while struggling to dumbell press 40s lol..

Oh, another pet peeve is being asked for a spot from someone who has no business doing the weight they've just put on a bar.
Big dude had 405 on the bench and asked me for a spot. I figured he was going to rep it no problem. I give him a lift off, he slowing brings it down and it collapses onto his chest and is crushing him. I basically have to sit on his face to get the bar off his chest and far enough to where he could help. I thought he was hurt at first since he put absolutely no effort into pressing it off, but at the tail end he recovered and grunted it back onto the bench. Awkward silence after that. We no longer make eye contact. He's been nicknamed "Four Plate" now.

When I buy earbuds now the first thing I do is cut one of them off. I started doing this for bicycling but noticed I liked it a lot better in the gym also.

1. People that stink, that B.O. smell just lingers like a cloud and stays in the nose. I have to move, I just can't lift or bike next to someone that smells like b.o. or like they didn't wipe.
2. People that blow out nasty gas. I was deadlifting the other day and someone blew out a nasty fart. Seriously, go take a dump.
3. People that don't wipe off the equipment after they're done. I went up to a shoulder machine one time and there was literally a poop stain on the seat.
4. People that don't re-rack. Although I don't mind walking up with a 45lb plate on a machine, I'll strip it bare. I've seen a lot of women who have to strip them down and have a hard time. I'll help if I catch it.
5. People that do excessive grunting or have a buddy yelling "come on" "come on" "one more" "come on" from the 1st rep to the last.
6. People that take up 2-3 machines at once.
7. People that use a workout bench or chair like a locker, then stand next to it doing curls.
8. Groups of 3 and 4 working out together, really?
9. People and employee's that don't wash their hands after they use the restroom.
10. Homo's that follow you around, stare, and it just so happens they have to use the equipment next to you. I can't be the only one this happens too.
11. People that park just over the line and ends up taking 2 spots, when the lots already packed.
12. People that text inbetween sets.
13. People that read a book inbetween sets.
14. Tainers that let their client's do excercise's with absolute dangerous technique.
15. Trainers that feel they don't have to clean up or re-rack.
16. When the gym has promo day and hires a dj that will play the crappy hip-hop, then for whitey plays that one crappy ac/dc song. And does it really have to be so loud that I can hear it when I pull up in my car.
17. Equipment that isn't maintained.

This is at my local LA fitness. There must be equal minded retards in your hood.

Sent from my SGSII

We have one of those at the 24 hr fitness in lakeworth lol

My biggest thing is people not placing the dumbbells where they belong, had this old swoll guy place 20 pounders on top of the other 20 pound dumbbells instead of walking an extra 15 ft and place them in their correct spot.

My biggest pet peeves at the gym:

Rack your weights
The guy that yells during every set he does this isn't child birth man up.
People that leave there stuff at a machine, that you need to use, and you look up and they are talking to someone at the other end of the gym or at a completely different machine.
I hate it when I walk in the locker room to take a piss, and some old guy is walking around nude, cover your self I don't want to see that.
Having to wait because some dip shit is standing in front of the dumbbell rack curling
Anyone that wears perfume
When I need on a machine, and you ask them, how many sets they have left, and they say 4 and go back to jacking with their phone for 5 more minutes before returning to their set, then repeat on there phone for 5 minutes.
