My top one is probably the guy at my gym who swings dumbbells as a "shoulder warm up"....he apparently wants to shred his rotator cuff....that is just fine but if I ever see one of those things go flying he'd better hope it knocks me out! LOL
if he ever quits then my top pick would be dumbbells/plates not put away or not in correct order....

Not putting weights away...., nothing worse than going to do a warm up only to find the bars with weights on and you have to empty them.....
In my gym everyone puts their weights away......Or they get a free transfer to another gym of their choice....lol

I don't get annoyed too often at the gym, but one time I was VERY close to saying a few choice words  I was working out on a squat rack - doing RDLs. Went to the fountain to get some water. Come back 30 seconds later there's a group of 5 teen boys doing shoulder presses. Took my weight down and everything. I am like 'What da Heck?' I had my bag near by too. Dang, I should have said something...instead I had to finish my last set of RDLs at a different station.

That was tough to decide on. They all are annoying.
