All-time most annoying thing in the gym

[clemson357]

So I go to the gym tonight, doing back and biceps. I do a few sets of curls, then I go over to do my wide-grip pull-ups. Normally I use this stool they have there, not because I can't jump and get the bar, but I like to have a really good grip. So I go over there, and some dumb mother fucker has dragged the stool over to the wall next to an outlet, put his fucking CELL PHONE on it, and was charging his phone in the gym!!!!

as if it isn't bad enough that people talk on their cell phones everywhere, and every-fucking-where I go I have to listen to the fucking obnoxious rap ringtones they download of the net, and I have to put up with people walking around the gym on cell phones, now people are devoting pieces of gym equipment as their personal cell-phone stand during their entire workout. Here is a thought, LEAVE YOUR FUCKING CELL PHONE AT HOME AND CHARGE IT THERE!!!!

ugh, people are oblivious to their surroundings. The world seems to fucking revolve around them... JACKASSES

I hope you took the stool, dropped the cell phone on the floor and stepped on it. Whoops. Sorry. Maybe next time you should leave it in the damn locker room. Either that or just pocket it and walk away. It would serve that dumbass right.

 

[Sh8kin]

Yeah, you should've thrown a weight plate or dumbell on top of the stool and smashed the shit out of it. That would've been halarious.

I saw a trainer at my gym spotting this skinny little kid doing squats. The trainers cell-phone goes off and he starts talking on his cell while this kids doing squats. It was not a professional call BTW, I was easdropping. I would be pissed if I paid good money for a trainer and he talked on his cell-phone while he trained me.

I'd have that guy fired so fast he wouldn't be able to get his coat. But the fact his client puts up with it makes me wonder. What does the client think the trainer is there for? To watch them work out?

Hi Clemson,

A good reason not to work out at a gym - but then there are good reasons TO work out at one as well.

My initial response would be to take that damn phone and stomp on it (actually stomp the shit out of it...) - but then I would have to pay for it and probably have a record of some kind against me for being a nut-case BUT I would be damn happy for one moment I crushed the shit out of that annoying crap! - (At least I feel better at having put this into words instead of action and I certainly do not want to suggest to others that they....)

BUT I know what you mean! Some people are just so damn THOUGHTLESS except for themselves. We are "told" we have to "grin and bear it"

..............................

(Blank on purpose)


Hang in there and KEEP WORKING OUT DAMN GOOD - you WILL GET what you REALLY WANT - AND NEED. Forget about someone's cellphone and their thoughtlessness. BE the person you go to the gym TO BE.

Hang in there!!! AND SUCCEED!!! You WILL!!!

Take Care, John H.

I think that ship has sailed John. Just kidding. Keep on doing what you do.

Johnny Johnny, thats the most masculine thing I've heard you say! Not to knock your masculinity in the past, but I'm looking forward to a new and improved, aggressive, testosterone spitting John. Lets stop the pro/anti-homosexuality threads, and devote that time to stomping the shit out of bastards that deserve a kick in the ass

Oh, and of course lets throw some humor in there for flavor.

Hi Eggs,

Well no matter what I say - or not - someone will find a reason to "damn me" or "criticize" - that seems to be the goin' thing in the USA today. The USA is NOT like it used to be and has gotten very hate-minded, bigoted, narrow-minded, etc. not that some of that did not already exist in the past but it seems that now everyone is into that crap - I choose to try to still be a human being and be respectful to others and add to the betterment of all...

Now, YOU DO NOT WANT TO REALLY KNOW what I feel with regard to (something current - the ....... that killed those two little girls) and what I think should happen.......... (you can NOT believe how much I am "holding back" and HOW MUCH I WANT TO.....) Let's just say that you would not want ME to get my hands on..... And then there is.......

See it is kinda hard to put in print what.......... And then............

So you can see the "problem"....... (I don't think there is a "smiley-face" appropriate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TRUST ME (and for those that do not already know, I have served in the military in wartime and.......)

Now for another side of the story: this ..... must have a "fair" trial and all the evidence presented - in as humanly as possible way that will allow a "fair" trial....

I really can not say more.

Just trust me! (I've got to do something else right now - I'll get back to ya)

Take Care, John H.

To continue... (One of the horses on the farm was having a problem, sorry for the interruption)

I have my times when I can get pretty full of "test" and "express myself" - I usually do not do that "in print" though. Men I work with (I work construction and have my own company and own my own farm) KNOW me and KNOW exactly how I feel and we all talk about all kinds of things and the humor DOES FLY daily too - we never take too much to seriously whenever possible and really really like to live life as we honestly feel it is intended to be lived - now that does NOT mean we do not get our work done and done well and on time or even before but we have fun at doing everything whenever possible and make "light" of a lot - the Guys I know seem to be the BEST bunch of MEN you'd ever want to run into or know - I feel I am really under God's wing so-to-speak because I have been pretty lucky mostly with Guys I have been able to know in my life. I have also had my share of fights and some pretty damn bad ones at that and believe it or not two of those ended up in the BEST friendships anyone would want - because after the sh*t was cleared up we really got to know each other honestly and now know each other a hell-of-a-lot better.

I do try from time-to-time to banter with some here and will when possible. But I do not want to join the "crowd" that likes to run others down - there's too much of that bull today and helps no one. Oh sure there is a time and a place but some seem to "live" for it and "wallow" in it.

Thanks for your constructive thoughts - and hopefully some off-the-wall laughs from time-to-time totally unexpected.

Take Care, John H.

Hi Oak,

Anyway,

2) What happened to gym etiquette?

Hi Fitgirl,

Some people really do not have any regard for others. It is just that simple I guess.

So you just have to try to ignore them sometimes and not get upset.
