Pet peeves at the gym

[FrankTheTank55]

Is there something that drives you nuts at the gym?? There are a few things for me but a big one is people not racking the wieghts when they are finished. Drives me crazy!

[SonofBone]

I agree...that is the worst to me.

[redback]

people who slam on plates and drop weights just to draw attention, and they are always bitches anyway

I have a few

-The guys that work out and simultaneously keep looking at you and every other guy in the gym trying to size everyone up. I'm convinced they are just looking for some dick.

-People that stand around fuckin equipment that you need just talking like its a dern social club.

-When people take up like 2 or 3 areas at one time doing supersets or circuits.

-The inevitable group of high school kids right after class lets out. They are always wearing their wife beaters, long basketball shorts, and backwards hats. They tend to just be there for social reasons too.

-Hot girls that wear skimpy ass tops and short shorts to where you can see everything. (Haha. I kid I kid!) :evil:

I do this because I am curious to see how other lift. i.e. see their form and possibly ask for advice.


My biggest pet peeve is definitely when people don't re rack their dumbbells and leave them sitting right in front of the bloody rack. If you're so effing strong that you are using a 150 lb dumbbell, I think you have the strength to put it away. Seriously, all you had to do was lift it 10 inches to the bottom rack. Same goes for not putting plates back after you are done. Leave all the work to the small guy so he can lift...

I also hate people who hog machines. People who really just come into the gym to pretend to work out and girls who run on the tredmil. Thats just un-natural. Its far too easy for them to see me staring at their rack...

i dont know why this bothers me, but i cant stand people butchering the exercise (form)
so many people use fucked up form at times i can hardly tell what the exercise is supposed to be

this is a big issue with me. MOTHER FUCKERS WHO STINK. we have a few stinky bastards that come to our gym and they smell like they haven't had a bath in months. 4 out of 5 of them are Indian. I understand differences in culture but can they not tell how bad they stink? How does that not bother them? Gets me pissed just thinking about it.

:rofl: Did you used to make fun of the smelly kid in class? I have this mental image of a large pre-teen starring with anger at this poor smelly Indian kid and just thinking about kicking his ass because of his aroma. :rofl:

i wouldn't say i made fun of people. i would pretty much just say, "dude, you smell like shit.".

i remember a kid in my class in like 3rd grade. he was a little bit of a looney. anyway, one day after lunch he came out of the bathroom with poop all over him. he had taken a shit and painted the walls with it and then wiped his hands with his shirt. i dont think we ever saw him again after that.

[Shibby]

One thing that bothers me but I try to control myself because it's me being an asshole...


I see someone using something I need and I think they should give it to me as sort of a seniority issue. The thought that I will use is better and harder then them so I should get immediate dibs lol :D I just hate waiting for stuff and messing up my routine.

1- Naked old fat ladies who stand around in the locker room with their cow titties right in my face

2- People who put their gym bag on the bench and take up the whole thing; especially when you are CLEARLY trying to pull your gym bag out and leave.

3- People who think that by putting their water bottle & towel on the cardio machine reserves it, no matter how long they take to actually get on the machine
