10. When guys lift up their shirt or roll up their sleeves so they can watch themselves flex in the flesh as they work out. D to the O to the U to the C to the H to the E.
9. Idle chitchat that drones on and on. You wouldn’t speak to each other under any other circumstances. What makes being at the gym any different?
8. When dumbasses work out right in front of the weight rack so that nobody can access any of the weights. WTF? You SWEAR they’re doing it on purpose.
7. The dicks who hijack equipment for an eternity. You wait and wait and wait. You step away for ONE SECOND to take a drink of water only to come back and find that someone else is now using the equipment, which of course throws off your entire training chi.
6. The chick who stands in front of you at the water fountain for an hour, filling her 2 liter water bottle to the brim, even though she has not (and won’t) break a single sweat during her so-called workout.
5. The fat mouth breather who leaves each and every machine sopping with still-warm sweat. No amount of wiping it dry will make it go away. It’s there, and it’s there to stay.
4. The guy on the bike or treadmill next to you who reeks of a foul combination of bad breath, tangy armpit and ten-day old ass. You can run from it but you can’t hide.
3. The ass who not only answers his phone at the gym, which he of course carries on him, but then engages in a loud conversation about something especially stupid, like whether corn is a vegetable or a starch.
2. When a person stalks you at the gym. It’s flattering if they’re hot, but creepy and disgusting if they’re not. And why is it that only the ugly ones do the stalking? What does that say about you?
1. The grunter: “Ah, ergh, ERGH, ERGH, ERGHGHGH…GH. Ahhh.” Get a room, buddy.

Genius. Another pet peeve: when women freshly apply makeup before working out. Pitiful.
the gum chommpers. seriously, they should be thrown out of the gym!
BO. it’s just the worst. I mean, get it together, dude!
OMG, I know! The grunters are so scary. I totally feel like they are going to either keel over and die OR even worse, reach out and grab me so they don’t fall over!
Gotta say, ain’t nothin worse than a fattie’s sweat marks all over the place. Sick.
What about the locker room cruisers? Not quite stalkers (yet) but they leer at you as you dress/undress, desperate for eye contact. Revolting.
Good
people who unabashedly just watch your entire workout–what is that?
