Gotta love the topless guys.. I feel like a tool when I wear a wifebeater (even tho its 90+ in my gym and I sweat like a pig) so I don't know
what is going through their minds
A couple of emaciated young guys were doing that shit in my old Bally one time, flexing shirtless in the crossover (to admire the separation on their 34" chests) When I asked them if they were looking to make new friends
in an almost exclusively gay gym those shirts went back on at double speed.

Monday was a holiday here in Canada so I went to the gym around 4:00 instead of my usual time of 5:30 or so after work.
I was doing squats when these two morons decided to really "crush" their quads on the leg press machine. They made a point to be extra loud in order to draw attention to themselves, they felt the urge to say at least 5-6times how much weight was on the leg press before each set.
One guy wanted to test his "max" which he made sure everyone knew it was 950lbs. Of course before attempting such a feat of strength they had to recruit a 3rd member to help them as a team move this weight. In true moron fashion the 3 of them managed to move this weight about 1/4 ROM for 2 extremely sad reps.
By this time I've moved on to bench press and since these morons have filled up the leg press with 45's I had to scrounge for 2 45's and leave them by the bench as I warm up (the gym doesn't have that many 45lb plates).
They then make it known that their hero of a friend wants to try 1000lbs and start looking for more 45's. After looking around one of the tools goes to grab the plates I have leaning on the bench and looked quite shocked when as he went to grab it I said "don't even think about it".
he gives me this look as if I should respect him and his buddy and just let them take my plates and I say to him "instead of playing around on that toy over there, why don't you try a real lift? he looks at me with the typical blank stare I seem to get...
I say "try some full ROM squats and see how much of that 1000lb leg press transfers over to a real lift."
He mumbles something about how they do squats all the time. I laughed and said I'd love to see that display.

I'm the same way as you. I packed my workout clothes yesterday and realized when I got to the gym that I accidently grabbed a cut-off shirt. I felt a like a douche-bag the entire workout. I'm in no position to be wearing cutoff shirts. I hate showoffs and never want to be known as one.

*Bunny* said:LOL, same situation, just different machine .. lifefitness cables... guy chillin' reading his paper ... like he was dropping the kids off ... lol
I'm like can you be serious? "Pass the TP buddy ..."
"Wha?"
LOL. The newspaper guys are the worst. One guy was sitting on the bike barely peddling reading a Popular Mechanics magazine. One of the workers walks by and he asks him if they got the new June edition in yet. I'm thinking is this a gym or Borders now?

For the most part i always join smaller independent gyms, but once and awhile i will hit a 24hr/or LA Fitness and thats are all the nut cases seem to be.
In ATL (LA Fitness) once a bigger dude (#1 we'll name him) was doing tri's on the crossovers and he had a towel over the stack. well he walks off for a bit, some normal guy starts using the machine. well when big dude #1 comes back he has to 'remind' this normal guy that he was still using the machine and he should have known that since his towel was there. Well the normal guy not wanting to make a big deal says sure, sorry i didnt know. Well Bigger Dude #2 from accroess the way jumps in and starts defending normal guy and getting up in the face up Big Dude #1. Needless to say this fiasco went on for a bit. The almost had to finish their business outside.
Another incident was @ 24hr fitness. Some HS kids were jacking around, i wasent paying any attention, well they were doing curls with the permentaly weighted EZ bar , and im not sure what really happened except when he went to put it back he misracked it and it fell. Well no big deal just pick it up, except then he started break dancing or some shit on the ground and screaming like he was really cool. Then he got up and yelled. "its ok folks, all part of the show"
fucking idiot

Also old men who shave themselves (god know where) while naked, no towel or anything in the locker, by far the worst thing ever
