We have two drinking fountains. One tall, one small, like for kids. Why do people use the tall ones to refill their water bottles? They have to lift their arms up to use it. Much easier if they used the short one.

this middle eastern dude was texting someone and he left his phone on the bench then somebody sat on his phone and broke it.. Two of them started fighting in the gym middle eastern dude was telling the other poor guy to pay for it.

**UncleTim** · 03-24-2009, 08:45 AM

A little off topic but we have a he/she at our gym. I think he has the plumbing of a guy but dresses like a woman outside of the gym. We call her "Pebbles" and we're constantly watching to see which bathroom he/she goes into.

**Dukkit** · 03-24-2009, 08:48 AM

the chicks that come in and all they do is the thighmaster thing.

i mean seriously?

your fat, you need to work more then squeezing your thighs together

**IM708** · 03-24-2009, 08:50 AM

**Dukkit** · 03-24-2009, 09:11 AM

**spywizard** · 03-24-2009, 09:45 AM

I've started kicking the shit out of these balance balls and or putting them in the walkways of the cardio area.. anywhere other than in the free weight area..

****ing lazy trainers teaching these fat ass worthless skin bags to bring that crap into that area, and leave them there as tripping hazards..

I asked one of the managers if their insurance carrier cared about tripping hazards in the facility caused by employees of the gym. It got cleaned up fast and they are getting better, but i keep moving it to the middle of the walkway out of the freeweight area..

imagine me moving 90 lbs db 10 feet to the bench and there is a ball, a mat, and a step between me and the bench..

idiots..

**PittBoy** · 03-24-2009, 09:49 AM

Not sure how many insanely loud grunters we have on the board but it does irritate me when people grunt louder than the need to and say things like.....grrr I killed that shit!!!

One guy at the gym I go to is constantly "attention grunting".

He wears cutoff shirts and has a good size upper body but he has olive oils legs. HAH

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about making some noise to get that last rep out, I'm talking about making some noise so the whole gym will look over as you press some 100lb dumbells!~

Oh yeah and people that don't work legs!!! Or if they do squat they try and stack massive weight and barely go down!!!

I was talking to a guy who said he squatted 750. I said...oh yeah? Do you go past parallel? He replied, with that much weight it's impossible to even go parallel. I was like.......then why would you use that much weight if it really isn't doing anything? He didn't like the comment but I didn't like him so it worked out well.

I have only ever seen one other person their besides me who squats with decent form. I do go at the slowest times possible though............

I've had a lot of coffee today..........

What about the people who are on the treadmill running their azz off, trying to talk on the phone while out of breath, are you serious? Friggin idiots.

**thai-lan** · 03-27-2009, 08:16 AM

dumb people they should put a sticker saying "NO MOBILE PHONES ALLOWED" on threadmills for their own sake

+In my gym we have two dip/pull up stands but for some reason those retards love to do pull ups on the cross cable machine even tho there isnt even any pull up bar attached it !!!! So everytime i see someone hanging down frm that tiny piece of metal i just yell at them and point them the dip/chin up stands

I wounder how you can workout with all these people that make you mad. you have so many distraction at the gym, with the gays, people hanging, and cell phones, wait maybe if you quite walking around like a jackass you might get to workout and not worry everyone else.

**thai-lan** · 03-27-2009, 09:10 AM

I actually get better workouts when im mad and also i go heavier than usual

**Reed** · 03-27-2009, 10:24 AM

How huge I am not

**Matt** · 03-27-2009, 10:30 AM

I hate it when the toilets are out of order and i have to take a dump in the showers..

**F4iGuy** · 03-27-2009, 10:34 AM

People who do 12 rep sets and grunt on rep #'s 1-10. Why? Sometimes I fvck with these people and start immitating them in hopes they will think i'm rediculous and might relate that to themselves, thus stopping their silly ways.

The sinus clearing thing. BLow you damn nose before you train!

***RAGE*** · 03-27-2009, 10:38 AM

I hate that I go to the gym and I am still fat

**Reed** · 03-27-2009, 10:41 AM

not being able to whip my dick out on the fitness hotties and bang them right there in front of everyone

**warchild** · 03-27-2009, 12:33 PM

guys who don't wash their hand after using the bathroom, i must be an asshole cus i say wtf man? and they looked stunned!!

**THE_FREAK** · 03-27-2009, 05:05 PM

guys who sit on the bench and talk on there phone between every set.

little guys who accuse me use juicing just because im bigger than them

i work out alone because all my former workout partners ever do is talk and never lift this pisses me off the most of all

ow and i agree with warchild that is gross

**paulzane** · 03-28-2009, 05:01 AM

I hate the arseholes who train in flipflops (tongs for the Aussies). That always seems dangerous to me!

thats just not bad its sick . unhealthy and dangerous . i heath unhygenic people weather they are at the gym or not . the only thing that annoys me is when people wander in to your personal space (like a 3 ft radius ) and start trainning besides you . eeeeee im not a touchy feely person dont like people being so close . lol

**Pocketbattleship2B** · 03-28-2009, 05:37 AM

Things I hate:
1:My gym has NO barbells, only a smith macine.

2:The heviest dumbells are 25Kg/55lb

3: Its the size of a stamp so if there are 3 guys in the gym you will be waiting for anything you need.

4:Guys who see that the place is full,work out in 3's and insist that they each do their set and then have a break of 2 minutes so that 1 guy is actually weighting nearly 5 minutes between sets.

5:You are doing doing smith machine overhead press with 35lbs and taking 3 minutes between sets and I'm waiting to squat,and will be taking less time between my sets as well, if I ever get near the machine.
6: Big guys talking cr*p about the weight little guys use on lifts,so what you squat 300lb and I squat 160lb.You weigh 250lb,I weigh145lb,percentage wise its nearly the same weight.

7:People who talk cr*p in general.You to were once the small guy at your gym and if you wern't you should be thanking God for your natural gift not laughing at people who don't have it.Bodybuilding is,IMO, about making the beat of what you have.If you start at 150lb and build yourself up to 200lb Your a beter bodybuilder than the guy who started at 230lb and ended up 260lb.
8:The guys who train in a tiny wifebeater and thoes floral beach shorts things,this is a gym not a fashon show.Sweat pants/tracksuit bottoms(whatever you call them where you are from)fine but floral summer shorts in a gym?

**ni4ni** · 03-28-2009, 07:07 AM

I think you guys covered it all-just reading the post has pissed me off cuz its all true

**Stock** · 03-28-2009, 07:27 AM

5 guys that have to work out together. they spend 10-15 min on each thing they do. If I see these fuknuts doing my body part that day, I switch.

That is what pissed me off this week...

**beatango2008** · 03-28-2009, 10:08 AM

There are these two idiots that always come into the gym and get on a machine and do one set and set there reading the newspaper and then do another set, they take like 20 mins on each machine when I need it. Grr

**DSM4Life** · 03-28-2009, 10:17 AM

I hate everyone else at the gym period.

**Immortal Soldier** · 04-09-2009, 02:35 AM

I don't see all this hate on people using squat bars for curling, I have to do it because of tendonitis in my forearm and also because the regular barbells with the weights already attached are usually taken by the other 15 goons in the gym.

And my workouts are based on high intensity and fast paced. I complete 28-32 sets in an hour WITH a workout partner. So I hate just sitting around sharing a barbell with 2 other guys who take their sweet ass time, it kills my workout because once my body starts to cool down it feels like I am not lifting anymore.

So usually we use the squat bars for curling because after a while it makes you STRONGER because the bar is longer than a traditional curling barbell and you have to balance.

SO PLEASE STOP HATING ON US SQUAT BAR CURLERS!

Oh and I hate hate hate people who wear wife beaters to the gym, no offense to any of you guys who do, but I feel it is the toolish thing you can do.
