i also hate people who do exercises in power racks or sqauts racks when they can be done else where,i ask people to work in when they do that and they say no and i have been very pissed at a few assholes there

i aswell hate the people who walk by and spot u without you asking for help

and just dumb people

I hate the people that lift up the front of their shirt to wipe the sweat off their face for the soul purpose of looking at their abs in the mirror. Like they forgot what they looked like or somthing.

In order of irritation:

1) Not re-racking

2) Trying to hog more than one machine

3) Clicking the dumbells together on dumbell presses

4) Leaving sweat on the bench

5) Terrible form

6) Spending too much time on the squat rack

I actually like it when I catch someone in the act of doing one of these things, because I won' t hesitate to tell them about it. I think some people just don't know any better so do me a favor, if you see it, correct it!

I usually don't correct people on their form, most people would think you're a jerk, but it hurts to see it.

I avoid most of these by going during off-peak times when I can

Oh, how I love this thread... and just to add my two cents, I really hate gyms playing really crappy radio stations instead of putting on some decent music. Nothing more off-putting than hearing loud annoying commercials blaring over the speakers while I'm trying to bench or squat.

My gym plays "florida's hit music channel 93.3 flz" It makes me about puke everytime I hear. They play nothing but Nelly, Janet Jackson, Destiny's Child, etc.

hehe... i workout in a sportsbra... i know what my abs look like, i just want everyone else to know too

i really do it so i can use the mirrors as a training tool whenever possible... i just feel much better about it now that my abs are out

i WISH my gym would go back to playing the radio stations where they play rotate the same six songs... they just got some stupid satellite and now we get to listen to techno crap... i HATE techno with an absolute passion... if anything is going to drive me to shove weights down someone's throat it will be that constant record-skipping techno song that goes on for 15 minute playing the same 5 sec of music over and over and over and over...arrrghhhh

i guess its time to look for a new gym...
