I hate it when your spotting somebody, then they turn and ask you how many have I done?...

I stopped working out at the gym a while ago and built a home gym in my basement because I didn't want to deal with the annoyances. It's worked out good for me.

There are just always a lot of jerks at any gym.

But I never really let what people did bother me unless it directly affected me. All to often it did, like many of the incidents mentioned already. Still, why should I care if someone I don't know is doing some stupid shit, as long as I'm not personally affected?

People do dumb and potentially annoying things all the time and not just at the gym. My philosophy was always: I came in here in a good mood. Why should I let you change that. Give you power over me?

Course, if I was already in a bad mood, that's a different story...

just thought of another one.
when you get these guys that think they can lift big on bench and they ask for a spot from one of their friends. and it becomes a two man deadlift..

I was at the gym where my wife goes about a week ago. I took a look at the weight room, and the first thing I saw was a guy jabbering away on one of those little headset jobs while doing barbell curls.

Course you can't even see those things so he looked like he was talking to thin air until I figured out he was on the phone.

I NEVER drop my weights...If I can't put them down slowly then they are to heavy for me in my opinion.

One pet peeve of mine is when a group of guys come in and don't even work out. All they do is talk really loud, and manage to be in your way. I'll be across the gym doing cardio, and I can hear them clean as day laughing and carrying on. And they always seem to hang out at the preacher bench, the db rack, or the cable machine.
