<li>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.</li>
<li>When people put their towel(s) on equipment and walk away.</li>
<li>When one person is using 8 pieces of equipment in a circuit, and nobody can use any of them</li>
<li>When people don't put away the weights they were using.</li>
<li>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+.</li>
<li>When they walk around all super-macho like they're god's gift, but really they come off looking like a tool.</li>

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?"<br />
I choose to train with a P.T. because it helps keep my mind off the gym douche bags and concentrate on myself.<br />
I don't train with friends because of my work hours and I end up training late at night,<br />
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.<br />
When I moved... he moved too.</p>
<p dir="auto">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.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you love yourself that much... go home, get a mirror and use your left hand for you know what.</p>

<p dir="auto">I flex in the mirror to see my results, for a few seconds each visit. I only flex the muscle group that I was working on during that day (so biceps and back one day, just my legs another, etc.), and only for a few seconds. I'm not doing it in hopes I'll be noticed. It's to see the visible effects of the hard work, and remind myself that it's why I'm there. And that's it's working.</p>
<p dir="auto">Something, on the other hand, that <em>directly</em> impedes the workouts of others? That's where I start getting ticked. Blocking access to the weight rack or trying to hog 2-4 machines or several dozens of square feet of the gym at once for 15+ minutes so you can get your super-intense circuit in is obnoxious. A workout that requires you to completely dominate 10% of the gym at any given time should not be done in a public gym at peak hours (between 4:30 - 8:00 ish).</p>
