Things in the gym that annoy you

[DadBod45]

It seems the older I get, the more annoyed I get lol.

There was a “kid” at the gym last night wearing slides/slip on sandles, whatever they are called where you live and he was dragging his feet every where he walked to keep them from coming off. He passed behind me one too many times and I finally snapped and told him to pick his fucking feet up when he walked or wear shoes like a normal person.

Aren’t we supposed to become more chill the older we get?!

 

[Big_Jimmy434]

My daughter said that I haven't become more chill, I've become more crazy but with more ability to restrain myself. I guess that means I can withstand alot more but when I go, it's much worse.

It irritates me when I hear a group of young kids talking "Fuckitty, Fuck, Fuck, Damn, Fuuck, Shit. Fucking, fuck, God Damn, Fuck, Shit, Fuck" in the entire extremely loud conversation.

I work in construction so I hear it all the time, and I'm a regular user myself in the appropriate places, but hearing it in the gym next with my kid and 80 year old Mrs. Beasley just violently annoys me. I workout at the YMCA and not Diamond Gym so I guess there are different expectations depending on the environment. There is a time and place to act civilized.

No! Absolutely not , it will get worse, at least for me it has.

Had something like that happen a while back. There were some older women, probably 50’s-60’s and a group of high school boys talking loud because they had ear buds in saying fuck this and fuck that and I finally said something to them. I felt old when I asked “do you talk like that around your moms?!”

I’ve got a mouth on me but I’m also respectful around other people.

 

[Startingover]

Older I get feel I'm more rational...Not calm..if that makes sense?
As for gym annoyance?
Well pick ur poison!!
We all know the posers.
The social media strollers tying up shit forever.
The people with lighted tripods filming themselves.
Also ones with 1/4 movement on God only knows what move they are trying to execute!!!
Can go on and on..
I literally have to tell myself mind ur buisness
Stay Focused on you..LOL

Here’s another one. A group of young girls 18-20 calling each other “bro” every other word.

Sitting at a machine doing 3-4 sets of texting!

 

[Bigjape34]

I wouldn’t say I’m tame or calm but pretty
Level headed and have a let love attitude towards a lot cause I know how I can get. I rarely go to commercial gyms but when I do for necessity or ease on a busy day I fucking despise anyone who literally carries a tripod around the gym with them and films every fucking workout. Now let me elaborate if you have an amazing physique or are actually training hard and have something to bring to the table or the world be my guest if you are sending a video to your coach etc on form be my guest but if your 160lbs with all young LA gear doing 80lbs on a lt pull-down there’s no fuckinf reason for that tripod or you to be filming. Instead worry about eating and training fucking hard. Also I don’t have a friendly I wanna talk to you face and usually wear my headphones every minute in those situations idk why anyone thinks it’s ok to try to start a life convo with me especially if I don’t fucking know you lol… rant over

 

[dcdogz]

Nothing really just work around everyone. Most of them don't last anyway.

I wouldn't say annoy more like funny, sad and pathetic.... People who are locked into a routine and can't change it if someone is using something they want. Seen it the other day. Guy was using one of the dual pulley spots. Walks away to get a tissue. Another guy instantly hops into the pulley he was using. The guy comes back while the other guy was changing the handle. He's like I'm not done yet. Oh I'm sorry I'm sorry. Puts everything back. The guy was like I have 1 set left... So the other guy walks away maybe 5 feet and waits... Well the guy slowly did 3 more set over about 10 minutes while the other guy is pacing and steaming mad... Lmao.. he could have very easily used the other side but no he needed that side he always uses...

Be flexible you don't own the gym....

Watched a video yesterday of a guy walking up to a kid and said "How many texts do you have left?" Then he asked him if he could work in with him. Kid said yeah so he pulled out his phone and asked for his number.

Thats about as bad as the push, pull, upper body, lower body, arm, shoulder, superset guy.

I’m extremely calm and laid-back, but I have a very limited fuse when it comes to bull crap. I remember there was a kid doing deadlifts and he would slam the weights to the floor. He was doing this after the Jim owner had left and the Jim owner and I are good friends after about the fourth time I snapped not only did I have this teenager almost in tears. I corrected his language to say yes, sir and to apologize for his behavior I’ve seen the kid several times since he’s always respectable he’s always calm and he’s never slammed another weight in the gym in my presence. Sometimes they just need a reset.

 

[lottalead]

young beautiful girls who work out 2-3 minutes then walk around and actually turn their head to see if people are looking at them-- yes i was looking and yes i looked her in the eye and shook my head

That’s just being normal. Why would anyone like that sound?

Younger guys have soft, lame peers and they mirror them.

I am an absolute asshole in the gym.

I know that guy... He's dressed like a 80's aerobics instructor

Well, posting is much easier than working out and it gives the same illusion of strength if you post photos of yourself on the equipment.

2 gold stars if you know who the guy is and the tv show he was apart of!!!!!

So, pretty much the same as usual.

I hate that shit. I usually just scream out "Its not how much you can lift, its how much you can drop."

 

[xstah]

The guy who gets out four sets of dumbbells, lines them up them on a bench, and then camps out doing his multi exercise superset. I swear half of what he does aren’t real exercises.

 

[Wardamn]

Just people being inconsiderate or lack of awareness. Thinking they are the main character.

I got ill the other day with a younger guy who came up and placed his bag in front of the 150lb DB spot on the rack. I was using them and would have to dance around his bag while trying to put them back. So instead I went and picked his bag up and moved it behind his bench out of the way from everyone and then carried them back to the rack.
