- Clowns that take twenty minute showers. Hey, buttdart, this ain't your momma's house. Get your ass in and OUT of the damn shower.
- Clowns that stand two feet away from a fan blocking anyone else from enjoying the cooling effect. Hey, buttdart, you're not the only person in here. Besides, you aren't doing sh!t anyway, you don't NEED the damn fan.
- Men. Blow Dryers. 'Nuff said.
- Clowns that turn a locker room into a 'cambodian experience' by using all of the damn hot water during their twenty minute shower... and them making jokes about the 'lack of hot water'...
- You just DON'T bring a cup of coffee to workout. You just don't. Ditto that with a newspaper. I don't give a crap that you're reading it during your 'interval' ... You look like a tard. Tard.
- Clowns that complain about the radio station that's playing. Oh, these clowns only show up once a week, if that. Sorry, you don't count. Non-showing-up Tard.
- Clowns that use weight that is way too heavy for them and use their body weight to 'swing' it. Look, tard, just get out.
- Clowns that blow through their reps way way too fast. You're supposed to be able to feel it, that's kind of the damn point. Tard.
- Clowns that claim you have to do machines in a certain order. Look. Just.... don't. Tard.
- Clowns that can actually hold a conversation and speak fluently DURING their reps. No.
- Clowns that look like Rick Moranis giving lifting advice about getting bigger. Look, I'm not going to a homeless guy for financial advice, WTF do you think YOU'RE qualified for what you're saying??? You're a skinny-no-muscle-having-not-big-at-all-Tard.
- Clowns. Just clowns.
- And Tards.

Clowns that worry to much about what others are doing at the Gym.

You forgot about the tards and buttdarts.

People who don't bring a towel to sit on in the sauna. Not good to think that I may be sitting on someone elses bare butt print.

My main pet peeve is the gays in the locker room. I could really care less what people are doing in the gym but when some guys think it's OK to beat off in the showers while checking you out, that's where I draw the line.

Yeah right, you are so full of sh!t. First of all I seriously doubt you'd be taking a shower there is that happened to you and secondly any guy who did that would be kicked out of the gym if they were tugging their Johnson in the shower!

Sir, not only has it happened to me, but my roommate worked at the gym and he's personally escorted people out and banned them for the same thing. I don't care if you believe me, I'm just curious as to why you think I'd lie about something like this.

I live in Portland, Oregon. It is a very gay city, and I'm fine with that. But...I don't want to see sex acts in the shower.

I got one. Who the hell brings a laptop to the freaking gym?? He's trying to run on the treadmill, balance the laptop and editing pictures in Photoshop. I've seen all the other types of cats at the gym but the laptop guy easily takes the cake for me.

To draw attention to yourself.
I seriously doubt gays do that, only perverts and exhibitionists would do that!

Well I suppose I should have been more clear. Gay pervert exhibitionists. I have at least 2 close gay male friends that also work out there. They'd probably also be a little shocked to see someone getting off in the shower. Ewww. Flashbacks. :thumbsdown:

Well most gym operators would call the police on anybody who'd do that and press charges, not escort them out!

I'll ask my roomie. I wasn't there when it happened, but he was. Thing is, with something like what I saw, it's just his word against mine if I choose to go "tell" - if Wacky McJohnson is done with his business, and staff goes to check it out, nothing will happen. My roomie actually was running a routine check on the showers and saw it first hand! Pun intended.

Probably been covered already but I'll restate the worst ones:


3. People who take weights off the rack and do a set by their bench. Then they refuse to return them and set them by their bench while they rest for 3 minutes...HEY IDIOT I wanted to use those weights and if you don't return them after a set I'm going to come and take them!!!!

I agree with everything but this one.

The dumbells stay by me until I'm done. If you want to use them I invite you to work in with me, but I'm not re-racking my weights until I'm done with all my sets. I don't think that's rude. Do you?


Dumbells stay near me till I'm done as well,considering that I probably had to hunt thru bith the women's and the men's gyms to find the sizes I need they'll stay near me till I'm done.If you wanna work in great.

Oh and I've had to rerack weights more than once while doing seated dips and such in the men's gym
a guy can lug 300 pounds to a machine to do his workout but not be strong enough to pull the plates off and put em back?

I've had an incident where someone was staring me down in the shower too....very creepy.

oh yes...i hate the guys who stand around exercising their mouths more than anything else....

very irritating...
and
when they sit around and talk and sit on the equipment while doing it and you
want to use it.
