elementx Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 I hate when someone is sitting on a work station, bench, or what have you just to talk to someone else who is working out in the area. I know it is easy to ask them to move. But then it puts me in the situation of interupting there conversation. I know I should'nt give a shit. But eh... Come on people name some things that piss you off...Or on another note... What actions do people do that make you laugh... Or what was your most embaresing (SP) moment in the gym...

karisma Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 I frequently work out at the gym and my biggest pet peeve is.....when girls go in groups fully equipped with water, discmans, and magazines... as if all this entertainment isn't enough, they talk to each otehr amidst the workout. i usually just go with my discman and water but i kind of think its funny when i see these "groups" going with all these accessories-- and they half ass work out-- i don't even know why they bother. its amusing most of the time, but when they are taking up a whole line of machines, i get a lil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is this one lady in my gym that has one of them voices that litterally go right through you... And she feels it is necesary to scream across the gym to talk to people. A person with a voice like that and one who abuses that voice should be shot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magilicuti Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 I hate when the cable machine is broken. By cable machine I mean the cables used for chest/tricep exercises. For chest you'd stand in between two cables and pull them foward. I love that exercise and hate when one of the cables are broken which is usually the case where ever i go.

Yeah I can't stand when people feel as though they should leave the dumbells all over the floor. Put this shit back.Secondly about the cables... I hear ya... I hate doing Cable Cross overs and one side having more tension than the other. I also hate when people sweat all over a bench or machine and dont at least whipe it off.

Mystify Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Ugh first of all, I can't stand when people don't clean the machines after they use them, especially if they're like dripping sweat that is just gross I always clean the machine if the person before me didn'tAlso, wtf is up with girls getting like completely dolled up for the gym!? They parade around in their cutest little outfits, fully done make-up, hair down I'm sorry, but I go to work out, not to look "cute" - and how can you possibly work out w/your hair all over the place?! Another thing that bothers me are some of the guys at my gym, when they are soooo blatantly checking themselves out - I mean, not as they're lifting to make sure they have proper form, but I mean constantly They're like doing different poses, looking from different angles, etc....

mssabina Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 i was thinking about this the other day... i'm usually oblivious to everything and everyone, but my gym is kind of small and it's almost always packed when i go... i hate when people decide to spend half an hour at the weight machines i want to use, or never get off the cardio equipment when i need to use it. also, mostly guys go to my gym (it's a school gym) and they stare down the few girls that go there... and they try to make it less obvious by doing it throught the mirrors, but it's so easy to tell when someones staring at you. let us work out in peace, jesus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatman Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 ...oh man...sooooo many....- not wiping equipment after done...if i wanted to lay on your sweat, i'd ask you out....- fucking up the track rules - walkers inside, runners outside - sounds simple but we have the people that feel the need to switch lanes randomly while walking - we have the three friends that take up the whole width of the track -etc etc- as mentioned per elementx - sitting on a machine but not using it for exercise but as a podium to converse with other members- the singers - i had one guy a couple weeks back randomly sing out one or two words of the songs he had playing in his headphones - it was otrocious - lipsynching is fine, but yalping like a dog is just painful- the shouters - members that feel the need to yell across the gym to fellow members as if they were in a nightclub - "...hey joey, did that rash clear up...hehehe...":blown: - the stalkers - people that keep passing you by and eyeball you because they want to use the machine but never actually say anything or try to work in- the clockers - people that show up at your machine exactly when your time is up or a little before and have this pissed off look on their face as if you were on private property- the naked guy that always wants to seem to have conversations only when he's naked in the locker room...dude, put that thing away and then we can talk......i got more i think but i'll stop there for now...

Don't lie you know you are guilty of this... As far as people gettin dolled up. I laugh at that. They look more stupid than good. I mean I go to the gym to sweat not to contest in a fasion show... How bout them people that make loud loud noises... again some noise is ok. But if you breath correctly you dont have to make these noises. And some people just over do it.

elementx Posted April 4 Author Report Share Posted April 4 The one thing I hate about my gym. Is when you are actually trying to see improvement in the mirror. Every mirror in my fucking gym makes you look different.One mirror makes you look more shreaded. One mirror makes you look bigger.And the other mirror makes you look like a fat fuck. I go by the one that makes me look like a fat fuck. Cause when I look good in that mirror. I know I have accomplished something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And some people just over do it. hahaha i think that's hilarious... i mean i know it's not easy when you're lifting like 3918745 lbs but it's just so funny when guys grunt and yell and turn all red... ok buddy, that might be a sign you're lifting too much, take it down a notch so you don't pop a blood vessel in your neck or something...my friend argues me on this, he says that if you're not grunting/yelling then you're not working hard enough...

phatman Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 ...i hate the grunters...and the dolls....worse than the make-up is the perfume/cologne these fokkers spray on...if you run like i do, there is nothing worse than catching a whiff of perfume/cologne...i've almost passed out...

origskeemr Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 I have this older gentleman at my gym who constantly tells me what to do. I know there is always something you don't know, but when you look like shit dont tell me shit.I also have a trainer who likes to work out with me which I dont mind at all cause I can always use a spot. However, everytime he is with a client he tries to tell me to lift more and says, "that's all you can lift, c'mon go heavier." I wanna turn around and be like, "yo stfu and go teach your client, I know how much I can lift."Then there is always one guy who smells like shit. I understand that a lot of people don't shower before they go to the gym due to the fact that they are gunna sweat anyway, but if you have a foul stench then shower. I'll be doing shoulder press and this smelly ass guy will walk by and I will seriously have to hold my breath while doing that set. I don't understand how you cannot smell yourself, or even see everyone's face turn sour as if they were eating crybaby's. I also hate the most when everyone at my gym tells me how big I would be if juiced. I don't want your pins and needles nor your pimple infested bodies. I just want to tell them you look like kirby with your puffy self. (Dont get me wrong I know a lot of people who look great that juice, but it's not for me so respect that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG, do i agree with you...there's this one girl in particular, wears hair down, wit the bandana, matchin outfit (always wears a thong as if the guys won't comment)...i hate the guys that do that also, cuz to me it just makes them look stupid..i also hate the weights all over the place... i don't really like going to the gym & gettin hit on cuz the gym is my place to get away from everything, look crappy & just get sweaty & burn off the calories & lift....

solbeam Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Originally posted by origskeemr I don't understand how you cannot smell yourself, or even see everyone's face turn sour as if they were eating crybaby's. :laugh: there's this one old, sweaty, rank man at my gym that makes me want to vomit whenever Im there. For one, he's sweating before he even gets out on the floor. He gets on a machine (ANY machine, no shame and could care less about the sign up sheets) and he mumbles constantly as he works out....If a chick walks by, "maybe i can get lucky, he he he"....or if its a really toned up guy, "hey look at this asshole!!"... "gotta work out if you wanna get laid"....my workout is always cut short if i see him coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
