Overcrowding wins overall, simply because then you are more likely to have more bums in the gym. The teeny girls frustrate me the most, once I had one give me the "do you think my friend is hot?" I wanted to scream at her "do you realize I'm like 6-7 years older than you! leave me alone!" but alas, I pretended not to hear as I had my iPod on.... uggghhhhhh


Thank God for punching bags...

I haven't really experienced any of the above or anything else I really dislike. The only thing that bothers me is that there is really no place to sit when you are resting unless you want to hog a machine or a bench to catch a breath. As I know this probably aggravates other people but I make sure I keep my eyes out for people eyeing the machine or bench I am on to make sure they don't need it. My gym is pretty small and is nothing like the social place like Gold or whatever so it never really gets crowded and I never have to wait for a machine.

improper use of equipment theres a guy that works out at the same time as me and he comes in in his ripped up jeans at tank top and with too much cologne on and his hair gelled up and always does curls and sit ups and he always on my chest day uses the the bench for curls with too much weight and is going to throw his back out i dont ever say anything i just hope one day he does.

Not putting the weights away.........Nothing worse than having to hunt for plates or walking down the bottom to the smith to find what you are looking for

Too many cocky newbs.
Not putting weights back away.
People who stare.
Guys that try doing more than they can handle. Except I do find it funny when they have bad form.

my first real anger spark in the gym, was when there were 2 disabled guys in wheelchairs with 2 trainers helping them (not from the gym)
they were hogging the smith press and the cable crossover machine (using it for push downs)

drove me f*kin insane

the other day there were 2 guys training together, doing db presses, using too much weight then they could obviously handle, and using the worst form ever.. but to top it off, they would finish off their sets by chucking their weights straight to the ground, so that they would bounce off in all directions... s!

I hate when guys wait for you to finish a set on pretty much any exercise, then soon as you get up they take your bench/rack/machine. Then there's always the guys that you've never seen before that come in, look at you do a set, then try to up the weight you just used and they have the worst form on earth
