sick brag re not being a vampire (#1)

People who don't towel the god damn machine down after they sweat all over it

Phones are banned from my gym, thank god.

Water bottle thing doesn't really seem bad at all unless its on unused gym equiptment? I always prop mine up somewhere so I can grab it at ease/people don't trip over it.

I always put mine on the ground under a bench or something, out of the way.

Just hate when someone is doing bench press and has their shit on another bench next to it. so annoying to me.

I also hate guys that come into the gym and just stack on the weight and use roughly the worst form ever. Makes me hurt just watching most of the time.

Thank God the gym I go to doesn't have anyone that comes up to correct form or anything, that shit is annoying

retards that come into gym with wife beaters and jeans, put 40 pounds on a bar in the squat rack and do curls, one set every 10 minutes and look in the mirror the rest of the time

guy I was lifting with called one of these guys who is clearly gay a "fag" to another member. It was like middle school, that person told someone who told whoever and next thing you know the "fag" is telling the gym owner he is going to press charges. nice work

If I want a 40lb dumbbell, I shouldn't have to hunt it down amongst the 10lb or 80lb weights.

you'd hate this kid that I once ran into at the gym.. I cant remember the exact circumstances, we were either working w/ each other for a set or just next to each other while having a quick convo... but anyways, I'm done w/ my lift and went to put back a few plates and grab bigger ones when he goes into this rant about how lazy the staff is at our (schools) gym and proceeds to violently throw all of the 5, 10, & 25lb plates off the rack. I had no idea how to react so I just started cracking up b/c it was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen in a gym.

to answer the OP, i stopped getting upset w/ the dumb shit people do at the gym a long time ago.. ignoring it is the only way that I can possibly work out in my school's gym b/c of the constant idiocy. Once I start paying for a membership (in the traditional sense) I'll prolly get mad at stupid people, but for now, just don't bump into me or drop anything on me and we're cool

If you're able to notice all these ancillary things at the gym you are not focused enough on your workout, or you aren't actually doing a challenging workout.

lol give me a fucking break if you believe this for a second.

1) People that constantly pose in front of the mirror (yeah, we all know you're fucking huge - move on).

2) People that eat their stinky snacks in the change room ... wtf dude, there's a restaurant at the top of the stairs.

3) People that ignore time limits on equipment or court times when there are others waiting to use the facilities.

this one.

also, ppl that choose the machine RIGHT next to you when there are 20 other EXACT same machines open. oh, and i'm not sure if this one has been mentioned...but ppl that try to talk to you when you have your ipod on.

For some reason when I go to the gym, when I pull into the parking lot there's like 2 or 3 cars backed up waiting for someone to pull out of a spot close to the door. FFS, you are about to go excercise and sweat for an hour, I think that it's ok to park further away and walk a little bt.

Oh, I also hate when someone challenges me to do:
10 min stretching
30 min elliptical
30 min stationary bike (this will be done immediately after getting off elliptical no rest period).
Workout with freeweights (Will do a full body to failure on each exercise program)
5-10 min of stretching
3-5 rounds of sparing (full contact you can wear headgear if you wish and gloves).

goign to the gym is a pet peeve of mine

People that work out in air conditioned buildings.
