Mine would have to be smell. Body odor is one thing-you are at a gym its to be expected. But the other day I was on the treadmill and this guy got on the one next to me and smelled like a combination of cat **** and crap. He stunk so bad! Then he started farting and I had to move. If you have to let them go at least step outside or something. Another one that got me ticked off the other day was someone complained about my shirt. I have a shirt from a pub crawl that on the front it says "come get your knees dirty" and the pub crawl date on the back. A guy complained that it was offensive. Who gives a crap about my shirt just lift your weights or go home! What about the guy who wears the shirt that says "fat girls suck"? I find that offensive but get over it. I wanted to tell that guy who didn't like my shirt to grow a set.

I brook no ****e from this lot of "offendees". Of course I have always been known for being candid yet tactless. One of my former platoon leaders once said to me, "XXXXXXX, I always know I can count on you to tell me the truth, even if I don't want you to." I've toned it down a lot since then but the feeling inside remains the same. We have entire generations of coddled pandered to weak humans who expect the world to accommodate their pathetic attempts at everything they do and whinge about it when someone holds them to a standard. And bemoan anything that smacks of work. I spend 2-3 months every year remedying my students of this global misperception.

Bollocks mate, if you vacate a piece of equipment for more than five minutes to talk on the phone the towel is on the floor and you join the queue.
Had a song just pop into my head... "What this world needs is a few more rednecks. People not afraid to make a stand..." Charlie Daniels Band I believe.

Definitely overcrowding. I hate it when theres a group of 8 kids taking up a bench for like half a hour just talking and i have to change my routine to accommodate for them.
My gyms been far too busy recently an all. Can't wait till all the part-timers get fed up so that it frees up the equipment a little bit.

Whiping the machines is a discipline I teach every newcoming member... Including the use of towels...
So we don't really have those problems... (well there are exceptions)
Our free weights are ALWAYS everywhere... it takes you 1 minute to find the dumbell you need because people leave it everywhere (and get ****ed off if you just ask them to put it back)
I answer; it appears to be light enough to take it but too heavy to place it back...
IF they are putting it back they put the 20 lbs dumbell on the left and the other 5 metres to the right... wtf...
I'm soo tired of putting them all back to places since they're just too stupid to place it back... so I don't arrange them anymore...
