    Not a lot bothers me, but here are 3.

    People with earbuds in blasting music. They are usually singing/rapping along as if everyone needs to hear the awesome music they listen too. They don't hear you when you say "excuse me" when they are in your way, and they seem oblivious to the rest of the gym.

    When a group of kids(3-4+) all lift together. As if no one else needs to use the bench. This isn't your hangout spot. If you want a workout partner that is fine, but 3 is too much.

    When someone obviously unexperienced and not well trained is giving out terrible lifting advice. Noobz should not train noobz.

    EDIT: Edited for my grammer and autocurrect issues.

    Yeah I know it was hard to pick for me. Haha.

    My last gym was pretty weird with trainers. I don't know why, it was weird how the trainers would stare at everyone. I think they thought highly of themselves since most of the people they trained were in sad shape... Then watching the trainers lift was confusing, I thought to myself, "aren't you a trainer?" But then again. I'm probably out of my mind.

    I fucking HATE IT when people come to the gym like it's social hour and not time to, you know... WORK OUT.

    I left my last gym because people would constantly gather in small groups around the free weights like it was the local bar. Couldn't get to the weights, and they would just glare at you if you asked them to move. The staff wouldn't do shit about it, not only because they were lazy, but because the staff members would be in the groups too.

    There was a girl named Cathy at the gym my wife and I went to that just talked and talked and fucking talked the whole time she was there. In the 45-60 minutes that we were there, she would do maybe 2 sets of something minor and that be it. She also wore clothes way too small, and she was fat. We nick-named her Chubby Chatty Cathy.
    If you can bench more than you can squat, you're doing it wrong!

    other

    guys sizing me up every walk to the water fountain, staring while they chat and do nada, and thinking 'hes on steroids, thats why', as opposed to all the work iv done in the last 35min vs their set of fkn synchronized lat raises with shit form, then sit on a pair of benches n chat.........
    that and the people who ask for advice or when you feel social and give advice, they nod in approval, then immediately go back to their shitty ways, only to ask the same question 4mos later

    this fkn *** who thought he was cool with me, finally one day asked me how to grow, i said eat and eat more, he says he does but he has a fast metabolism, mind you his gut protrudes from his sweater and pops out when he does pulldowns, so i tell him if its so fast wheres the abs, he says he eats bad, ding fkn ding.....1yr later he still looks like mouse shit

    i get the 'oh you are a vegetarian, you gotta take steroids, so are big'.....my answer 'how old are you? 22? im 32, 10yrs plus more on than not gym eating wise, thats fkn why'......he refuses to accept how meticulous i can be with cals to remain cut and pumped, its a fkn chore finding 300g protein without meat, even on, 6 sets of 15 of 3plates squats isnt easy....oh but his ass is in the shitty leg press cause he heard squats are bad for your fkn legs.....yep, fkn goof

    lastly, those fkn cycling shorts the spinning guys use then come lift a little, where their cock n balls migh as well be out

    lastly x2.....the cunts who think they are bad and try and out lift you.....i do 45-60lbs for hammers, light really, for reps, so this fkn aids kid starts going heavier, slams em down and stares at me using the mirror.....my arm is 21inches, so he can fkn lift 200lbs for all i care

    ill be back with more after i smoke this bat

    I could be just me.. but when you grab your dumbells at the rack- please pick a fucking spot, other than right where you picked em up at. I either want to get the dumbells I need, or drop them off ( and their not usually light ) at the rack, so dont pump out lateral raises, dumbell curls and do whatever, while getting the HD shot in the mirror. Reserve that strip/lane in front of the racks as a pick up and drop off point only!
