The "parrots" on the treadmills or elipticals. Shut the F up!!
Women who wear full make up to the gym at 9am and just walk around not doing shyt.
Women who group around a machine and babble. Either use it or get out of my way.
Men who make it beyond obvious to check me out. I mean REALLY??
Stinky, smelly people


I go to the gym with no makeup on and get sweaty (not stinky) to work out!! I'm not there to hook up or anything like that but the eye candy is nice for motivation

I think the stinky people are those who don't wash their clothes/shower between gym visits. Most people give off a little musk when they get sweaty but it's fairly inoffensive as long as their clothes were clean and they shower regularly. When pungency sets in, now that's just repulsive.

I don't pay any attention to anyone at the gym... I go every morning, I do classes only and leave.. Don't care what others wear,etc...
I don't wear any makeup and my hair is in a ponytail. I go to be healthy and get a good workout.
Obviously there are people who go for other reasons it seems... Haha!

I agree about the stinky clothes. There's this one guy who does a lot of cardio and he's stinky. I can't be within like 2 machines of him or use any after him

I'm sick of the older guys who don't cover up in the locker room. Nobody wants to see your junk!

My pet peeve is when people stare. I think it's an unwritten rule that you don't stare at people while they are getting sweaty working out (basically looking their worst). Maybe those women that wear a full face of makeup go there to be stared at, but I sure as hell don't!

You do look kinda good... I'm just sayin'
Take their stares as a compliment, they probably think you're hot.

Anyway I have a petpeave which I think you might oppose,
namely women who strutt around in tiny little outfits that exposes more than what they wear at the nightclub, and pretend to be offended when a guy happens to have his face directed within 90 degrees of her...

This. It's annoying and breaks my zone when people walk past and stare then look at my machine to see where I'm at on speed and stuff.

That's bothering me. Don't worry about how fast or slow I'm going. Go about you business so I can finish mine.

I never understood that either. I mean, I'm not super modest in the locker room, but grooming your hair and brushing your teeth buck naked isn't necessary.

My BIGGEST pet peeve...people who grunt and yell while doing weights. You're not impressing me with how much you can lift. You're being obnoxious, so shut it.
