Gym petpeeves

I go to the gym consistently and I have noticed some things about what happens there that annoys the hell out of me. Here they are in no particular order or degree of annoyance.

1. People who have New Years resolution to be healthier (loose weight) and crowd the gym every January. Can't wait for March to come along so they can all break their resolution as they always do. There is a Filipino saying that describes these typical New Year resolution as something that burns like dry grass. They start really strong but burn out fast.

2. Men who will go chat/gossip with their guy friends away from the machine they were on and expect me not to use the machine cause they are "using" it. If they are not on the machine, they are NOT using it! No such thing are reserving it while they gossip.

3. People who do not return the weights/benches to their places. The gym is not one's home. If one is a slob (which they are) at home, one should not bring it to the gym.

4. People who fill up their big bottle at the water fountain for their cardio and only end up using half of it. They hog the water fountain cause it takes forever to fill up the big jug.

5. Guys who grunts so loud when lifting. Exhibitionist!

6. Trainers who choose to do their ball tossing, lunges walk or whatever with their client in the middle of the aisle/walkway between the machines. That's stupid.

7. People who sweat like a pig and don't wipe the machine after. Gross!

8. Women who wear two piece work out gear exposing their midsection. The gym is not the beach you know. And if guys are expected to wear tops in the gym, why are women allowed to only cover their breast? I suppose if I was hetero, I would not mind this so much. haha

9. Women with full make up. They are on a manhunt!
