Thread: Biggest pet peeve at the gym?

I like my gym. No one is ever in the squat racks and I never have to wait to do anything except maybe bench press if it's busy.

Bicep curls in the power rack with the bar and a 5 on each side...

Guys curling in the squat rack.

Dammit. You beat me.

people who do not unload their weights.

people who misplace dumbbells -55lb. dumbbells where the 120's go for example.

people who use the gym for a place to fuck off and tie stuff up forever while they talk

God damn this thread pops up a lot. The misplaced dumbells thing pisses me off too. Obviously no one likes the guy who curls in the squat rack. Cleans and Rows are semi-acceptable, but not really. And yeah the lazy assholes who don't put their weights back should be raped.

But my biggest pet peeve is when the stupid weight room attendants who can't even bench 315 get mad at me for taking a couple hits of crack between sets. There's barely any smoke and hardly a scent. Pricks.

I use the rack when I'm rowing. Makes changing plates MUCH easier. But I pay attention to the other people in the gym. If I see someone who looks like they might want the rack I ask. If they do, I move to a different apparatus.

My pet peeve is douchebags who leave shit laying all over the place; weights of any kind, gym bags, water bottles, towels, all kinds of shit. Have some damn respect and clean up after yourself.

My biggest pet peeve.. At least smell semi decent in the gym! Yea we are there and we smell like blood, sweat and tears- That's it, don't add the shit, musky, rotten smell into the equation!

They got all the machines and bench stinkin'!!!!!

Probably my biggest pet peeve is people who wear too much perfume or after shave. Drives me crazy. It's not a fucking nightclub.

Sitting on a machine between sets. Can't count how many times I've said "NO PARKING" to someone.

Taking up 2 hectares (or one acre) of bench space in the locker room. Bag, clothes, bottles, mixes, clipboards (yes, really), phone, gloves, towel.. all spread out all over.

Dweebs that won't take their underwear off until they're in the shower, and then forget and leave them hanging in there. With skidmarks.

Any guy that brings his phone onto the gym floor, and leaves it sitting ON the floor, usually in an area where people walk or toss weights, and then gets offended when his phone gets smooshed, stepped on, spilled on or sweat on.

Gym music, in general. Especially when it's the same 15 songs over and over, day in and out.

And.... my gym has an ironing board, quite useful since it's in an office building and a lot of us suits use it. One day I went to iron my shirt and a guy was using the iron to IRON HIS T-SHIRT. Slowly and carefully he pressed out every crease and wrinkle, aligning the seams just so, and even put friggin' CREASES IN THE SLEEVES. And then... he puts the t-shirt on and GOES OUT INTO THE GYM TO WORK OUT!

that's a lie/\

Guys that walk around the change room naked, shave naked, and feel the need to converse naked. PUT SOME FUCKEN CLOTHES ON ASSHOLE!!!! No one wants to see your hairy fat beer belly and chicken legs.

The old guy drying his nuts in front of the fan in the locker room.

I hate when people take weights without asking. They go straight to my bench rack , take my 10s that are hard as hell to find in my gym and not ask. Oh and
if you sweat like hell please clean your machine!

Ya I HATE when people steal my 10 pounders! What I'm I supposed to use to keep my routine sheet from blowing away

It really has no effect on my workout but I hate seeing the same dudes in the gym doing the same body-parts three and four times a week. Chest, Arms, Shoulders. Chest, Arms, Shoulders. No Back. No Legs. A stiff wind will blow these dudes over.

Another one is when 175 pound dudes walk with their arms all puffed out to the side. They fail to realize that the reason that bodybuilders walk that way is because of the massive triceps resting on their massive lats. The only excuse to walk around this way is having the inability to let arms hang naturally due to the sheer magnitude of Lats and Triceps. It dosent make you look big it makes you look stupid. For all you assholes out there that are reading this, Stop making yourself look bad. Just give up the toughguy act.

When I walk outside my lats eclipse the sun!

the fuck nuts who dont wipe there sweat off the benches.

You guys are funny. But seriously. WTF is the deal with old guys not only drying their bags, but drying themselves. A guy at my gym does 30min on treadmil and drys off before he does another 30min on elliptical. WTF. Am I missing something? Does this help in any way?

My arms fall naturally "puffed out to the side". What should I do so judgmental douchbags like you dont think im showing off? I need to make sure that I am acceptable in your eyes. If you and your jackass friends dont accept me I just dont know what I will do. Yours truly, sarcasm.

i hate it when some skinny guy come in and uses the cables for an hour. He isn't even pushing it and you can't get on for a quick minute blast.

Hate it when people stand in front of the mirror doing nothing, but looking at them selves. Move out of my mirror space homie!

I hate when skinny ass not big pussies get offende when someone calls there bluff! Unless you have some sort of armpit infection pit your spaghetti arms down! And walking with your shoulders slumped forward doesn't make your traps look big it looks stupid!
