Biggest Gym Pet Peeve

thekingdom

1. Not putting weights away
2. Using chalk
3. Hogging machines
4. Being smelly
5. Not wrapping a towel around your waist in the locker room

I could go on.

Hogging the equipment.

Guy at my gym should just be called Noah - cause he's got 2 of fucking everything

I'm not a big guy… in fact I've just passed my first year at the gym.
My problem with going to a gym are those that think they are better than you and give you that look as if to say "why are you bothering?"
I choose to train with a P.T. because it helps keep my mind off the gym douche bags and concentrate on myself.
I don't train with friends because of my work hours and I end up training late at night,
One night I had this beefed up steroid thing stand right in front of me and pretend to flex in the mirror... but check to see if I as watching him.
When I moved... he moved too.

That is my biggest pet hate. Sure... check your progress, I am guilty of the occasional flex myself... but don't shove it in front of others just to show off. I'm trying hard to get bigger as much as I can... leave me be.

If you love yourself that much... go home, get a mirror and use your left hand for you know what.

That's what's bothering you? Seriously? You just made my cock stiff with your post. I'd be drooling all over that steroid beefcake. Talk about injustice, huh? $:-\$

People not wiping the machines, after they sweat like pigs on them.

Ugh. There was one guy working out on a machine and his stench pretty much was given off in a 5 foot radius. He got off and I I could visibly see these huge droplets of his sweat covered on the machine. Did he go back to clean it? Nope….

You mean you're not into licking it off? hehehe

If it was a hot fella, HELL YES I'd lick it. But sorry….this guy wasn't my type

When weights are all over the place, all mixed up, all over the floor, and I spend half my previous little workout time looking for what I need.
When people put their towel(s) on equipment and walk away.
When one person is using 8 pieces of equipment in a circuit, and nobody can use any of them
When people don't put away the weights they were using.
When someone is using a piece of equipment, where they could just as easily be using a different piece of equipment, when I need the thing they're using. e.g. when they use the customisable EZ-bar loaded up to less than 30kg, when there are pre-loaded EZ-bars up to 30kg in 2.5kg increments, need I want something like 50kg+.
When they walk around all super-macho like they're god's gift, but really they come off looking like a tool.

hogging the equipment while using their phones.

Hahaha. Sorry but this made me laugh

I have to say my biggest peeve is when people don't put their equipment away. It's just SO_SIMPLE.

I don't know how 'Flexing/Checking themselves out in the mirror' can be a peeve… I love it when they are either naked or nearly naked and flexing in the mirror. :surprise:

Never cleaning equipment after use

Eridanos

I'd say people hogging equipment is what annoys me most. If they're actually using the equipment I don't really care, but if they're just chit chatting it gets on my nerves.

lovewill

People who refuse to clean up equipment they have just used.

Dirty showers!

I picked Hogging…however I do it often. :cheesy2:

I go from piece of equipment to piece of equipment, usually 4 exercises for 3 sets. I am not bothered if someone takes a piece of equipment, or a weight. If that happens I just improvise.
