    Leave your Cell phone in the CAR!

    I hate the guys that bring their cell phones into the gym and proceed to talk real loud and pace back and forth like their hot shit.

    Is is just me that this bothers ? Don't be that guy!

    Agreed, and I have been that guy before. Not walking around like hot shit, but using my phone. It's a definite no-no!!

    Doesn't it really suck when that guy talks on his phone in between a set and then proceeds to lift way more than you. lmao! I've been that guy.

    But seriously, yes it's annoying but when you're on call you have to leave your phone on sometimes..

    you know, i dont even notice them talking on the phone, i could care less what people are doing, as long as it doesnt effect me, and if the person is taking all the time on the phone they always let you jump in, always, just gotta ask right

    There's a strip club by my house that has the best sign about those ear pieces " Don't bother (picture of earpiece), nobody believes your talking to anyone anyway and your very close to getting your ass kicked!!" When I first read it I died laughing!!!

    I have guys/chicks at my gym who actually talk on the phone while doing cardio or actually doing sets (on machines). Highly irritating and up there on the douche bag scale.

    I don't see anything wrong with having a cell phone in the gym as long as you have it on vibrate or silent and are there to work out and not to look cool. There is this one asian guy at my gym with 2 fake gold teeth that will do a set then talk on the phone for like 10 minutes then do another set and hop right back on the phone for another 10. I have actually timed him while i was bored doing cardio. lol. I think im going to do that tomorrow to show him just how dumb he looks. lol.

    cell phones have gotten way out of hand. i've seen little girls that couldn't be more than 11 or 12 years old walking around the mall yappin on the phone. it seems like the youth of today are only interested in cell phones and playstation.

    Also, I hate that guy. I only have my cell phone on me when I'm working out at like 2 or 3 in the morning. I have a late schedule. I am the only one in the gym so I feel like it doesn't matter if I walk around like I own it. On the other hand, I don't bring it in during the day..

    There's a guy at my gym who uses his cell phone between sets while lying on the bench on the smith machine. He just lays there, huffing and puffing while talking. Then he puts the phone down, does another set and repeats. I hate that.

    the worst is those annoying nextel phones. the ones where not only are you stuck listening to someone chat on their phone, but they have the person on the other end basically on a loudspeaker so you have to hear both sides of the conversation. to make it worse, every time in between them talking, you get that annoying beeping sound.

    i swear, you hear those damn things everywhere now. it's so obnoxious and blatantly obvious people blare those things just for the attention. if people can hear the person you're talking to from across the entire gym, you can obviously turn down the volume a bit there! those things need to be banned for noise pollution. seriously.

    I gotta agree with 1bd and zimmy, it's all very well for you guys to bitch about people using their phones but some of us have jobs where we have to be available, and before you start saying "That must suck" and "I would never put up with that" we get paid very well for it!

    This thread is just another gym intolerence thread, here's an idea for you - how about you try concentrating on what YOU are doing and stop fretting about everyone else!

    I carry mine with me, but its on vibrate and if I need to answer, I leave my station for someone else and walk around the track... I can see though how it would be annoyin for people who answer durin the middle of what they are doin and others have to wait... I would def. be pissed as sh!t

    The problem is that they bring their phone and talk but don't bring any WATER!!! Probably cause their too busy talking to get any work done and water isn't necessary.

    i never take my fone to the gym with me, im there for the weights not to talk. i hate when people use their fone tho, i mean, whats the point in going to a gym to talk?!?! cant they just go out or go stand against a wall and talk instead?

    hate people as well who dont put weights back, or who drop weights like they are some hardcore mofobut its only a 5lb dumbbell!

    Really, what's the big deal? Who cares what anyone else does, talks on the phone or whatever. When I'm working out, I'm working out - doesn't matter what the others are doing, I'm focused on what's important to me and doing my own thing...

    That beep noise is soo damn annoying. What is even more annoying than that are those people you see walking around talking on there phones through there little earpiece thing and soo they don't have to hold the phone. It looks like they have imaginary friends and that they are just talking away into air. I can't wait to see what the next thing will be. lol.
