In the Gym, Pet Peeves....

OK.... The Cell phone thread inspired this thread....

So heres the deal... Name some of your pet peeves at the gym.

Here is some of mine:

Cellphones (People can get a hold of you by calling the gym if it is an emergency!!!)

The people that sit on a machine while resting in between sets.... Get the F*** out of the way so I can work in.....

The guy using the squat rack for Bicep curls...... Hey they call it a squat rack for a reason..... and you have no legs so obviously you don't know what the reason is.... now take your bicep curls elsewhere....

ok... I'm done for now... I'll probably think of some more later tho...

Yeah, the cell phone thing gets me riled up. Especially these candyass ringers they have nowadays.
Something else that gets my blood pressure up is the jackass that likes to take up one side of the cable crossover machine when he can take his tri pushdowns or whatever to another single cable machine! I can't believe I haven't bitch slapped anyone over this! It is my all time ball buster.
I will get one more rant in before I go! What is up with this friggin' twinkletoe music that some of these gyms play????I mean are we playing bingo or something? I like metal,like it loud-makes me want to pick up a house or break some shit!!!

DONT FUCKING TOUCH SOMEONE YOU DONT KNOW IN THE GYM FOR CHRIST SAKES

I EVEN HAD A GUY PUT HIS FUCKING HAND ON MY SHOULDER AND LEAVE IT THERE WHILE HE WAS ASKING ME TO WORK IN, IT WAS LIKE 4 OR 5 SECONDS AND THATS WAY TO LONG TO TOUCH ME, IT WAS KINDA WEIRD ACTUALY

I ALSO HATE THE OLD FAT NAKED GUYS WHO WALK AROUND THE LOCKER ROOM, I ALSO HATE THE OLD FAT GUYS WHO WALK AROUND THE LOCKER ROOM WITH BIGGER DICKS THEN ME,LMAO

I HATE THE SAME OLD MAN WHO ALWAYS FOLLOWS ME INTO THE SAUNA AND TELLS ME THE SAME FUCKING STORYS

I HATE THE TRAINERS WHO SNICKER AT ME

I HATE WHEN THE GUYS LOOK AND STARE AT MY WIFE LIKE THEY NEVER SEEN A WOMEN BEFORE, AND I HATE THE GUYS WHO STARE AT ME AS WELL,LOL,

THE THING I HATE MOST IS THE GUYS WHO WALK AROUND THE GYM WITH FUCKING AIR LATS, I JUST WANT TO WALK UP TO THEM WITH A TAPE MEASUE AND MEASURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN WHERE THERE LATS ARE AND THERE FUCKING ARMS AND ELBOWS ARE ALL FLARED OUT

I HATE THE GUYS WHO GRUNT WITH NO WEIGHT WORTH GRUNTING FOR

I GUESS ILL STOP HERE OR ILL RN OUT OF BANDWIDTH

Presser you need to take a deep breath or you'll explode!!! lol!

See what you started here crankin'...

Here's some more..

I hate the people that fill their water bottles at the fountain with a line of people waiting for a drink.

I hate people that help themselves to my chalk because they think it's community chalk.

and I hate everyone on leg day.

I work out at my office building... so I have to deal with being nice to everyone or getting fired.... (It's actually decent, not your typical 'office gym')

I HATE the damn old lady who always turns the stereo down to levels a dog couldn't hear...

And with the rest of you, I HATE those random dudes in the locker room, who find it neccesary to have a 20 minute conversation with you... while their naked!

First-Presser can you really blame them for staring at Fly?
Now my rant-I hate the guy who gives free advice on any and all BBing issues-hes never competed,is fat and puts on gloves,wrist wraps,elbow wraps,belt and some kind of lifting shirt,does 3 reps with 315 and walks around like he owns the gym and feels the need to critique MY technique with"you'll get better results if you...
To which I replied"I'd love to hear your advice when you take your class at a National Qualifier,until then please leave me alone"
PS-just happened Friday and apparently thought I was lying because he complained to a PT at the gym( who is a good bro)-that I was a real asshole and there was no way I was a BBer!!!-Can't wait to see this prick on Monday!!

LMFAO!! This is some good stuff guys!

Presser.... you have some issues dude...... On tren right now by any chance...??? lol

Seriously tho.... there are some of you that mentioned some really good ones that piss me off too!

I hate the guy that reads the newspaper between sets, the WHOLE newspaper!

I hate when The wormdick carries his 25lb dumbells all the way down to the bench in front of the 180lb dumbells that I nedd to use.

I hate when the mechanic from the corner garage comes in to train in his work clothes,after 8 hrs of working in grease and oil.

I hate the fat greasy guy that finishes with a bench and leaves a pool of sweat on it that resembles vingar and oil dressing.

I hate the nasty ass MF'er that shits his pants near me in the middle of my big squat day.

I hate when the gym owner pays $100 a month for XM radio, and plays "Bread" from the early 70's.

I hate when the gym is out of carb drinks

I hate when my ass is getting to big for my sweats.

I hate when a 145lber that keeps telling me Im huge, and he used to be built just like me when worked out in high school.

I REALLY hate the guy that wears the " NO IM NOT ON STEROIDS, BUT THANKS FOR ASKING" t-SHIRT

I hate the guy that walks around for 2 hours showing everyone a huge ass bruise on his quad from his injection.

I hate when someone does 1500lb partial squats on the smith machine.

I hate cardio........

I luv the the gym!

...'cept me of course! cuz I AM your driving force!

Nice rant sm. Do you think you can ask that guy to get me a T-shirt like that??? LOL j/k bro

The ironice thing with the guy in the T-shirt is one day he is a skinny 165lb cop, thenhe quits the force, 6 months later hes 205lb very lean and wearing the tight shirts youve ever seen, that say ( see pharse in previous post).....
for all the new guys out there, DONT DRAW THIS TYPE OF ATTENTION, it aint cool. It makes me want to ruin some dental work. ( now Im pissed! )

LOL. Its the same shit everywhere.

How 'bout the guy who stands there and watches you during your set?...

Ever have one of those, "I'm invisible" days. This happens to me WAAAY too often. Every guy in the gym wants to test me by walking right at me down the hall. Wherever I walk, they walk, as if I was invisible. I'm friggin' dancing around shit just trying to get to the water fountain.

How 'bout the people who seem to just hate your guts just because you lift more weight than they do. Ask them very politely how many sets they have left (b/c working in would out of the question - their max weight is 1/2 your warm-up), and they say, "I just started." That's NOT what I asked...

Ask them again and you get, "A lot." This has got to be my biggest pet peeve. I'd rather you come up to me and hit me across the face than play this game.

The underlying assumption is that I'm an asshole - one who thinks he own the gym and has 1st dibs on all the machines - just because I am stronger. bigger and train harder. The prejudice is pretty crazy, but I can't say I don't know where the stereotype comes from....

-Randy

I also hate the day that all four budies come to the gym together like its a field day. They go to the power rack and begin a marathon sesson of, what resembles curls. Swinging the barbell to there chest using absolutley every muscle in thier tiny litle bodies, EXCEPT Biceps.

Or another killer is...
A guy asks for a spot flat benching.
You take a moment from your heavy dumbell rows to be a nice guy. He needs a lift off, he needs you to keep it moving after it careems into his sternum and bounces off . You try to keep it moving for him and end up doing your 8th set of rows right there. After helping this retard lock it out, he says "3 MORE! " AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

The underlying assumption is that I'm an asshole - one who thinks he own the gym and has 1st dibs on all the machines - just because I am stronger. bigger and train harder.

There really is no underlying ass umption that I am an asshole in the gym. It is a proven scientific fact!!LOL!

SM-you are a funny dude bro....
