1) Why most girls don't just come in a thong...I mean if the inseam of your shorts is 3/4 of an inch, don't even bother

6/28/2008 4:45:26 PM

old creepy dudes that just walk around the whole time I am there, and I never see them get on a machine.


i am pretty sure they hang out in the sauna quite a bit too

6/28/2008 4:46:06 PM

^at this bar down here, there is always an old guy (white hair and all) who posts up at a post at the edge of the dance floor and stands there all night. wears sunglasses too. creepy as fuck

6/28/2008 4:47:10 PM

the guys that work at Gold's but aren't trainers really bother me too. Literally, all they do is walk around, hit on girls, and act like they make more than $8 an hour

Wow I laughed out after reading this comment and my coworkers at the lab here are looking at me like " wtf is wrong with you".

5) Fat guy telling me how to lift when he don't know the difference between a calf and bicep muscle.

this isn't really a who, but a what.

they have the scales in there set like 10 lbs heavy. I went to the doctor and I weighed in at 210, weighed myself at the gym about an hour later and it said 219. That's some bullshit right there

6/28/2008 5:20:08 PM

clever...making you think you are heavier so you go to the gym more.

now i'm worried that I haven't been gaining weight like i wanted to

6/28/2008 5:21:48 PM

people that try to have convos with me while i'm listening to my ipod. HEADPHONES. are on for a reason.

6/28/2008 5:24:16 PM

people who wear headphones at the gym


i dont want to hear your shitty celine dion tracks

6/28/2008 5:30:49 PM

The people that hawk the door. Someone can be in the middle of bench pressing and still take their effort to lift their head and see who walked in. And the people who use the mirror to pretend that they're looking at themselves when they're really looking at everyone else lifting.

6/28/2008 5:34:27 PM

^^ at my gym you have to wear headphones or else you hear the gym music. which is like gym class heroes and vanessa carlton. or the people around me. its louddd in thur.

also, who listens to celine dion when they work out?

6/28/2008 5:37:26 PM

i dont know, i just kinda assumed you did


when im running i like to listen to radiohead because it brings my heart rate down and therefore im able to run longer distances.

but when im lifting i put on some bullet for my valentine or BTBAM

Seriously, I don't want to dig through 25 10lbs plates to get to the one 35 hidden there in the back. Just put them back where they belong, you're not so swoll that its cutting off the flow of blood to your brain.


Seriously though, most of these pet peeves deal with things other people do in the gym, which have no bearing on your workout. Sounds like some people need to focus more on their own routine than what others are doing.

6/28/2008 5:39:37 PM

^ no.


the majority of the girls ive seen get on the machine where hot in shape girls.

6/28/2008 5:49:44 PM

I agree with the short shorts.

One day I was on the treadmill and this girl comes along, and steps on the treadmill in front of me with really short short.

All she could do was shuffle, cause if she ran any faster, you would have been able to see her cheeks, and maybe her pubes, if she doesn't like to shave.

And the whole time Im thinking, "Come on, get the fuck off and let someone who seriously wants to run take that treadmill".

Not a fan of gym outfits either. I'm there to do my thing, and get the hell out. A t-shirt and standard running short should suffice.

6/28/2008 5:53:59 PM

^ dont listen to her, she's just jealous of girls who can pull it off

6/28/2008 6:01:06 PM

how many times has this thread been done?


btw house the apartment search faggot

i hate people that dont protect themselves and have to get bailed out repeatedly


other than that people do what they want, not every one has to WORKOUT LIKE YOU DO

let em wear their headphones, let people rest as long as they need to, let people look at the door, let people circuit train, let em look in the mirror they aint fuckin botherin you let em be

Well buddy most doctor office weighing scales are calibrated repeatedly I think it's required by law but I am not 100% sure. Typical gym weighing scales probably don't get calibrated once they are bought and set in locker room so they can be off by 10 to 15 pounds.

6/28/2008 7:54:00 PM

^^I would say some of these things piss off more than just one person. Some people just lack common courtesy and common sense. Such as wasting time on a bench when people are obviously waiting to use it. Especially since a bench press is in high demand and most gyms have a limited supply. That is just one example. Go ahead and ponder this for a while my friend.

all you fuckin have to do is ask, its not always so obvious

its called growing up

if anything at least have the balls to check people when they fuck up instead of crying on here

6/28/2008 7:55:36 PM

Well I do ask how many sets the person has left, however; I have seen others that do not ask and just wait. I am just making a point that someone should not be waisting time and others people time by just chillen on the bench for no good reason. Pondering completed.

6/28/2008 7:58:49 PM

cant blame em if they have no clue people are actually waiting..not just in theory

besides, one would rightly assume that someone sitting at a piece of equipment resting would gladly let someone work in with them and take a little longer break and get some water

they just gotta know you are there, and that comes with communication

I am not bitching about it just listing how dumbfucks at gyms think they are special. Me being a personal trainer and working out at 6am I rarely have any problems at the gym. Telling some meathead to get the fuck up nicely gets you a slick comment or 5 fucking fingers. I looked at your pics and you are a big dude so you are not typical average guy. Usually the idiot hogging the bench is some meathead with 400 pounds and they do 2 reps and talk for 10 min. Most don't like to share but they will run their mouth about how many chicks they banged with their lil penis.

6/28/2008 8:04:07 PM

ive never run into people like that

i doubt theyd punch you in the face for asking to work in

unless its a surferboy cali thing...most people are a little more sensible and respectful than that

6/28/2008 8:06:16 PM

people who grunt.

people who put the dumb bells out of order.

people who sweat on the equipment and don't clean it off.

the guy flirting with the girl on the treadmill

counter girls who think their shit doesn't stink

6/28/2008 8:06:35 PM

to be fair to the counter girls, theyve probably seen the worst of what you are complaining about

they have the right to turn up their noses a lil bit

Here's another, people who eat McDonalds in the gym lobby

6/28/2008 8:09:09 PM

once upon a time i went to the gym and dude on bench was probably 6' 4" or so..maybe 160lbs at best, he put about 200 on their.. i'm thinking wtf no way this skinny ass dude is gonna do 200 with his long ass lanky arms

well, he goes down about 3 inches, at most..barely even fucking moves, then repeats about 8 times. gets up and looks all proud of himself. guy i'm lifting with gets on, takes a little off so he's doing like 180 (the proper way).. tall skinny dude has the balls to tell him he needs to work more if that's all he can lift because this was his first day in the gym and he just did 200

he repeated this scenario to several other ppl.. very surprised he didn't get his ass kicked for being a grade-A douche bag

Like I said it never happened to me and I m glad it never did. But working at the gym for about 5 yrs part time I noticed these things and I agree I exaggerated about getting punched but these big dudes they get pissed when average Joe asks them can he work in . Some of it could be roids and some of it just being Macho asshole attitude. One of the gym I worked at had a policy if we see someone talking for more than 2 min hogging the bench we could ask them to finish the workout or get up.

LMFAO

I would have asked him to go all the way down with 150 since it be 50 pounds lighter and easy for the guy. If he got stuck under it I wouldn't have lifted it for about 10 to 20 secs . After he gets up everyone would have laughed at the wannabe asshole.
