if i cant fill my water bottle from the fountain where shall I fill it then? Can you not wait a minute or find another fountain?

if a hot girl goes to the gym and doesnt want ppl to stare why must they wear hot outfits and have make up on? sure sometimes staring can become creepy when you do not make an effort to also communicate with words.

You can fill it when no one is waiting. Or if you are filling it and someone comes up behind you, step aside and allow them to take a drink.

As for the girl issue, how would you feel if someone was constantly staring at you while you tried to work out?

I can fill the water bottle when its my turn....I dont think your need for water supercedes my own...I waited in line and you can too.

Jesus Christ you stupid ass tard. It's general politeness, and common courtesy. Let the person take their 5-second drink before you fill up for 30 seconds. Can you not comprehend this? Are you a goddamn robot? I've lurked here for a few years now and you've never failed to amaze me.

listening to you bicker over 30 seconds is quite nauseating. If you cannot wait for someone to do something for 30 seconds get help.

Oh and yeah I agreed already that it is courteous to allow someone to go ahead of you first but I also stated it is equally courteous to wait until the fountain is free as not pressure someone because of selfish reasons like you need your WATER NOW!

It took you 30 seconds to read what I wrote?

And thanks for assuming. I don't mind waiting for my water one bit. I would never expect the water-bottle-filler ahead of me to get out of the way so I can take a drink. If they took it upon themselves to allow me to take my drink (like I always do when I'M the water-bottle-filler), then I would appreciate it and be thankful.

I know this is all over your head, so I don't expect much out of you on this matter.

Here's mine:
1)women with full make up on ... what exactly are you here to do??
2)posers/socializers/im-gonna-stand-around-for-2-hrs asshats ... since when is gym the prime time social spot?
3) weird people - there was this 200 lb asian guy that would always put on really heavy load, swing em up with his full body and as fast as he could and all of that while making noises that one can only hear in tropical africa

Heheh...I make the trek to the shower and back in the B-day suit, but I'm fairly buff so there's not much grossout factor involved Those 50 year old 300 lb cigar chomping gorillas that like to socialize nude...THOSE are the guys that need a towel. Hell, they need a TARP- GAG!!!!

 

[HamSupLo]

my gym has only 1 power rack & it's the main thing i use,
so if someone's doing barbell curls in it when i get there i
do feel some irritation, particularly if they have the
marks of a poseur: bad form, the weight's way too much for them,
the weight's really light, wearing gloves, sleeveless muscle-shirt,
heavy cologne, etc.

Wait a minute. I wear gloves and many of my workout shirts are sleeveless. How is that being a poser?

is there something wrong with calluses on a man?
are you wearing the shirts to call attention to yourself?

 

[neovan]

We have a track at the Ballys I go to and I hate the people who walk in groups and are standing side by side. Get outta my way before I steamroll you!

my gym has basketball courts. i usually play some basketball before working out, and i usually wear a sleeveless shirt. being a skinnier guy, the last thing i want to do is to draw attention to myself while i'm working out

Yes, calluses annoy both me and my GF. Plus, my gym just got new barbells that would shred even the toughest hands.

I wear sleeveless shirts so I can see the progression I've made in size and BF and admire my hard work. Plus sleeveless shirts are not as hot and don't get in the way.

My pet peeve is when hot girls run around naked. Especially when I'm running on the treadmill. The shock is so great I usually fall flat on my face. So embarrassing.

The person I dislike the most at the gym, is the guy who stands in the locker room, completely naked, talking to you or someone else, with his leg up on the bench. COME ON DUDE! Put a freakin towel on! This isn't the 1920s...

EWW so true...or the guy who decides to dry his nuts with the hair dryer while talkin with someone with his leg up

 

[mrCide]

women should be expected to get stared at, the ones that dont get stared at are usually wearing normal workout clothes. hell, even the big guys dont always like to get stared at, i've seen the biggest come in with full sleeves or sweatshirts. i've also seen huge guys come in with the smallest tank top..

same goes for women folks, you dont want people to stare? don't come into the gym looking like a whore with your hair done makeup done and a skimpy outfit. i've seen the women that come in and just socialize, i also see the ones who are serious about being there.

that being said, i do eye the hot chicks, and glance over every now and then while im working out, i dont stare though. i also don't even bother looking if i see the girl coming in with some dude.

my 2c

edit; fact -- this attractive girl i used to work with was talking to me about meeting guys, try the gym i say jokingly.. 'i already tried that, all the good looking ones are spending their time checking out themselves not me!' ... so there you go.

The problem is it takes you minutes to fill that bottle and me a second to take a drink. It's annoying and rude. Be polite and step aside to let someone take a drink. The reason most lines form in the first place is because someone is filling a bottle. Otherwise people wouldn't be drinking long enough for a line to form.

patience is a virtue.

I think we both know you can do something(another set, stretch, stare at a chicks ass) for a minute until you see that the fountain is unoccupied.

Look, I am polite enough to step aside and let someone drink if I am filling a bottle and have done so on countless occations. It is NOT too much for me to expect the same from others.

here is a noble idea. take your waterbottle to the fricken bathroom and stick it under the faucet to fill it.
:shocked:

 

[PricklyPete]

My girlfiend and I were discussing that exact thing just the other day. That is sooo freak'n annoying.

faucet water usually tastes weird and isnt nearly as cold as the fountain water.

While it's not as cold, I think the taste thing is all in your head. It's the same water.

I don't have any problems at our school gym. Lots of equipment, lots of college girls.... There's nothing to complain about.

yes...and stop hitting on my gf!

i remember her telling me a while back there was some guy trying to talk to her because i posted a group picture of the atot meet at dezign's apartment.

 

[bluehorizon]

Just a week ago I was rinsing off in the shower, and this dude was standing there staring at my crotch for about 5 minutes. I asked "what the fvck are you starting at?" He pretended he didn't speak english...

I was doing tips between two flat benches a couple weeks ago. The gym was completely empty save a couple people. I walk the 5 feet to the fountain and get a drink. While walking back, some old dude walks up and grabs one of the benches. I say "I'm using both for dips, but if you want to work in, that's fine". He has the balls to start arguing with me about how I shouldn't be using two benches. I tell him it's clear I was using both, and repeat what I said the first time. He gets pissed off and walks away. Dumbass. I don't care if someone is using three benches, if you know something is occupied, you need to ask to use it. Unless the guy is an asshole, he'll let you work in. It's simple gym etiquette.

Otherwise, there's a lot of things that people do that annoy me. I've been working out since high school, about 6 years now (also worked as a trainer), and I've seen a LOT. I just have to laugh at the skinny guys who spend 90% of their workouts flexing in the mirror, the guys who use most of their body weight to haul up some dumbbell or bar that's obviously too heavy for them, the guys who talk more than they lift, etc.

This makes me laugh everytime I go to the gym. I also like when they will wait for someone to pull out of a spot 10 feet closer then the open one. When I leave the gym and someone is waiting like that I take my sweet a$$ time.

pfft.

I don't care what you are doing. IF you are taking up more then one machine then screw you. If i want to use one of the machines you can bet i will use it.

It is very rude and inconsiderate to take up 2 machines when others want to use one.
