i hate when highschool kids have a circle jerk in the middle of the gym usually around a bench, and all they do is look around for jerked guys and hot ass, wtf? and please wear some god damn shirts that fit, yes that XS makes you look huge, but when you lift a weight no one should see your ass crack or happy trail and/or belly button.
when your patiently waiting for a machine while on another close by machine, eyeballing the shit out of it hoping the guy leaves soon, as he does, then you start to walk over there and some motherfucker just has a spontaneous thought to just use that same fucking machine.
or women that are clearly fat and ugly wearing spandex and half shirts..
or when your clearly using a machine someone comes up and asks "are you almost done" ......
"NO!" why don't you go practice falling down, ill be there in a minute.
or people that just drop plate weights on the ground for people to pick up and trip over...
spitting in the water fountain
people who think your huge so they try to be friends with you..

My gym is pretty good now and when I'm there i'm in my own world and couldn't care about anyone else. But one thing I hate, smelly people. Whether you smell awful or there are these guys who smell like a french whore house and make the whole gym smell like an abercrombie. Gives me a headache.
Also another thing I hate(hate it in clubs, or when people are inside). Dudes who wear sunglasses in the gym. My old gym had a guy, and the other day I saw a guy wearing them while he works out. WTF usually I don't care but that was to far. Useless he is stevie wonder sunglasses are not needed in doors.

I think sloppy weight restacking / re-racking, or not is what drives me the most nuts. I am regrowing my big toenail for the second time in 2 yrs because someone put a 25 lb plate on the edge of the peg on the smith machine where it got accidently touched and knocked onto my poor toe, just centimeters away from causing nerve damage and fucking up $15K worth of pins & restructuring I had done as part of bunion surgery several years ago.
When people leave shit laying out where you can't find what you need (e.g. a complete set of 20 lb Dbs) or where it can be tripped over, or you have to drag 45 lb plates across the room to get anything worth lifting on the leg press. There's a certain amount of etiquette I expect to just keep the gym safe & useable. But its just really a big thing w/ me. It says you are too lazy, and apparently too weak, to strip your weights and put your shit back. It throws my whole universe out of alignment and pisses me off. I typically put back an average of 300 lb in weights by the end of any given night in the gym.
The best night ever, a TRAINER left a 40 lb straight bar sitting in the middle of the walk-thru area between the DBs/benches and the machines. I happened to be watching this guy w/ his client, and was blown away when he started walking away, leaving that thing sitting in the middle of the floor. For one brief moment I thought about waiting until he looked this way and then choreographing a big dramatic wipeout on that bar and making like I broke half my body and was going to sue the living shit out of the gym. For one brief moment.....

Nobody ever unloads his/her weights in our gym and everybody is fine with that.
Back on topic:
Two teenagers, dressed like a hybrid between 50 Cent and Lady Gaga.
Moron A is walking around the gym, showing off his massive 14-inch-arm to an invisible audience.
Moron B is doing oh-so-cheat-and-almost-back-extensions-curls at the preacher curl machine.
Moron A, shouting: How much?!?!!!
Moron B, shouting back: Thirty?!!!! (in kilos = 66 pounds)
Moron A: Weak bitch!!! (keeps walking around the gym, still showing of his massive 14-incher).
Moron B: Roaaarghghgh!!?!!?! (keeps working his lower back on the curl machine)
I was taking a break from heavy dips and almost fell off the bench.
Holy moly...
3 things drive me nuts
1- so I know all the ladies in the gym... I charm and flirt with pretty much all women. its just the only way I know how to communicate with such an odd gender... the dudes that leave the smith press machine packed results in the ladies coming up to me to ask me to strip the machine down. I always go and help if I see them struggling. now I get an invitation to help. most of the time its no big deal but if im amped up, right song on the ipod, readly to get under some weight and then the hot piece of ass comes up to me and asks me for help... it messes up my process.
2- high school kids in groups clowning around. I was that kid once apon a time.
3- people asking me for the special sauce. yeah I juice- but I dont deal.
bonus
hot women in tight clothes. dont get me wrong I like looking but it can be distracting. great for cardio though..

Anyone that tries to socialize with me. Sounds bad but it's true. Just want to listen to my music, lift, and GTFO.

Where have the all the good times ((of old school bodybuilding)) gone?
Bodybuilding is a team sport!
Pumping Iron - Training Segment - YouTube
Worse than the fat guys acting big are the long-sleeve T wearers. You know, the ones that are a soft 190-200lbs and walk around trying to act like they got an "athlete's" build and the sleeves hide the fact they are just soft.
Also used to have a buddy I lifted with that every time a hot girl walked by when I was lifting would loudly and needlessly critique my form ("make sure to really pinch in on those flies bro...that's better"
) or ask if I needed help getting the rep up, like he was trying to establish that he was the expert and I was a newb (used to piss the hell outta me).
And the guys that think just body weight = strength. I used to be a lightweight rower which meant at 6'2" I had to be under 160. I lifted for 4 years but stayed 160 (our lifts were more designed for gaining strength/endurance rather than mass/weight since we didn't have much body weight to work with; 4x15+, 3x45 sets, etc). Obviously I wasn't a body builder but was about as strong/ripped as I could be with that build and damn fit (~5-7% body fat). I couldn't count the number of times I'd get stare downs from the Long Sleeve crowd or BS like "oh how can you possibly lift more than me, I got like 40lbs on you". I can understand sneering from guys who are legit built but couldn't stand it from guys who the only difference between me and them was 15% body fat.

This thread comes up about every 3 months. But it's fun and we all need to vent:
ILS
Young douches in training running around in groups of fucking 4 laughing and playing around on equipment.
Of course curling in the squat rack
Sweaty fucks with no towel
Fucks that don't rack their weight
yes, fucks that workout right in front of the fucking DB rack.
smith machine 1/4 squatters. Hell any quarter squatter.
Those fucks that come in and do off the wall shit and think they are cool. stacking up 45's to put your hands on to do pushups, shadow boxing or "I take martial arts look at me now" type moves, crazy ass hanging from the pull up bar ab-bullshit. Fuck outta here bro!
Fucks who stop to talk in front of equipment. 'koutta here!
Fucks that ask for advice knowing they aren't gonna take it.
Fucks who always say..."good genetics" How about eat and workout good for a few fucking years or a decade!
Fucks who think everyone is on aas
Fucks who swear they aren't on aas but you know they are.

1. Poor form with heavy weight!!!!!!
2. People who don't put equipment away. (Saw an older man who likes to bench with the bar and a 10 on each side and some kid left 225 on the straight bar, had to go help the man take it off.)
3. People who do like 10+ sets on the preacher curl, bench, squat rack etc. And walk around the entire Gym between sets.

My paradise of plate pounding is an Anytime Fitness, located in one of those strip mall things, that being said...here we go. > 1. the bakery next door fills the gym with ridiculous smells of sweetness that has actually made me hungry enough to stop, go next door and come back to workout with donut holes. >2. guys nearly twice my size, 15 yrs younger, lifting half the weight that I do, fucking around, in my way and wasting the air that I could be breathing on my next rep. >3. the same forementioned asswipes posing in front of the dumbells that I want and they can only dream of using. >4. My gym only has bells to 100lbs, and I have to bring my own tape in to attach more plates to them!>5. The lil 22yr old bobbleheaded brunette blueballing babe that has to come and ask me to check her squat or pulldown form every week.
^^^ had one go through a huge elaborate prbly 10 min setup process to video himself with his iphone for one huge rep of 225 @ a 1/4 rep in the squat!
Yea no shit. Trust me I would If I had the space. I'm totally tired of the gym. I do like it for business opportunity though. Other than that fuck it. I would rather be at home with my shirt off with the music blasting with no headphones.

I always re-rack my weight plates.
I don't walk around like I'm hot shit.
I always check out the girls, but never hit on them.
I don't grunt, though if you're puttin' up the the weight, I think you've got an OK.
I'll wipe down a bench if I sweat on it.
I'll ask to work in between people's sets.
Though I've often committed a grave sin. I lift in front of the DB rack. That's never going to happen again.
