Annoying gym behaviour

[googler]

What pisses you off about the gym?

Mine are:

People who work out in large groups - it can be quite intimidating having 6 guys (or girls) all standing around the one area, doing nothing but talking and watching the gym tv.

People who hog machines. Theres a guy in my gym who hogs the bench for 45minutes. Resulting in a backlog of 10 guys wanting to use the bench once he ****s off.

People who walk on the treadmill for 45minutes at the slowest possible speed, during peak hours when all the treadmills are in use.

Gym instructors who do nothing but stand around the gym, there are 2 guys in my gym who just stand there watching me during my entire workout. Its damn right annoying. Then talk to me as if we're buddies.

People who stare at you when you're lifting heavy weights.

Really hot girls doing stretchs 2 feet infront of you. If you take a look you're perceived to be a pervert but if you stare at the ceiling its obvious you're trying to avoid contact. There is a russian model who talks to me the odd time in the gym because I helped her out with a machine a few months ago. Whenever she talks to me shes always doing incredibly sexual stretchs, or ab exercises. All I can imagine is banging the **** out of her but have to think unsexy thoughts and stop my voice squeking.

Oddly enough, a lack of hot girls at the gym doing stretches right in front of me, sexually provocative Russian models in particular, really pisses me off - which is why, without that incentive to hand over £50 a month, I now train at home.

Dear old Cassin asked the same question with his "Official Rules of the Gym" thread: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/discussions ... hp?t=17901

She's only a part time model, she has a great body but is let down by a distinct lack of tits. She asked me such a retarded question one day, as illogical as it was I forced myself into thinking she only asked it as a reason to talk to me, but the next week I found out the Russian guy who hogs the bench for 45 minutes is her boyfriend.

I hate that guy, anytime I'm using the bench he's always standing 2 feet away from it and asking when I'll be finished - 2 minutes after I started using it. All he does is work on his arms and neglects the rest of his body, he has a gut to rival santa. He doesn't even wear proper footwear to the gym. He wears flip flops when he's working out.

Perhaps she's not such a fan of the gym as her flip-flop wearing, bench-hogging boyfriend is, but gets dragged down there (metaphorically speaking) when he goes and chats due to boredom - or she's sick of his fat gut squashing her and is on the lookout for a replacement.

i really dont get too annoyed when i have hotties stretching out in front of me. When i get my ass in the gym i just get in the zone. Im a warrior once i step inside and i get this strange feeling in my body, i just tune everything out.
I also dont work out at busy ass times like when everyone gets off work. I usually workout before noon and if i cant make it then i usually work out after 10pm. Try working out with some mozart in the headphones and focus on the weights, oh and also concentrate on the reps and breathing.

Why not change gym or go at different times???

I work out at UF's student gym, and while the behavior doesn't piss me off...

It amazes me how many kids are on 'roids, and how many of these couldn't do a set right to save their life. I'm fairly anal about proper form (messed up a shoulder, knee, etc being reckless,) so I've always had an urge to correct a person, though never really do... just pisses them off.

It's a pity these guys don't consider what they're doing to their body for a quick fix, you know?

After the gym some guy in his 60's went straight from the shower to the hairdryer, wearing nothing but flip flops. He proceded to dry his hair for 5 long minutes, completely naked. I don't really mind guys been naked when getting changed but doing something like this just makes it awkward for all the other guys, especially when there is a 15 foot mirror in front of him. He should have at least wrapped a towel around him or thrown on a pair of boxers.

[The Gardener]

If you have a towel on, or a pair of boxers, then how can you advertise to the others that you are in the market for some steam room man-love?

Have a large, downward-pointing penis tattooed onto your lower back.
