It's a gym, people sweat and stink. Which, AGAIN FOR THE 11TH TIME, is why you don't sidle up next to someone at the cardio machines unless you have to.
We have 2-3 people that annoy the crap out of us in the mornings while we are trying to do our workout.
There's a couple at our gym that likes to roll their yoga mats out between the weight benches and the dumbbell racks and do their stretches and their body weight workouts. There is literally a 20x20 room dedicated to just that upstairs. Instead they block all of the folks who are trying to get to the weights. We had to carry our curl bar and dumbbells over to the tricep stations this morning because we couldn't do our sets where they are intended to be done.... has happened a handful of times. Quite annoying when we are trying to do supersets. One guy did his e-z bar curls over the top of them. He apologized up front and told them if he dropped his weight on them it was an accident. They didn't seem to care.
Last week a guy hovered around us while we were doing cable presses. I would do a set and then switch with my partner. He would do a set and we would switch again. We had 4 sets each. At set 3 as soon as I got up the guy sat down and started using the machine. We were nice enough to let him finish his set, but after that he decided to sit at the machine and play on social media on his phone. We finally had to tell him to move so that we could finish up.

You have a lot more patience than me. I have to take my hat off to you.

Everyone knows everyone in the community where this gym is (either directly or indirectly) and you never know when you **** off someone that you may cross in our industry later. I did notice this morning after they got off the ellipticals that they went into the room dedicated to what they were doing so I guess they took the hint.
