So this morning I went to the gym at 5:45.  I was ready and pumped to do a killer cardio work out. [/b]
 
As I was getting ready to pre set my stair master I noticed that the man who used the machine before me left an absolutely disgusting sweaty mess. 
 
I am all for breaking a sweat but at least clean up your stink.  He does this every single morning.  The last thing I want to do at 5:45 AM is clean up after someone. 
 
I have one hour time limit in the morning to workout, it made me furious that I wasted 5 minutes of my workout for this inconsiderate individual.
 
DEFINITLY A BIG PET PEEVE!!!!!!!!! 
 
Do you have anyone like this in your gym?????

Yes before i started my home gym I had to clean up after people. I think this is disgusting. Why should other people have to clean up after slobs. If you use it clean it.

I have to say that at my gym most everyone in the power room does a very good job of cleaning up after themselve’s. Its usually the newbies that don’t cleanup. My big Pet peeve is the sleepers as I call them (the guys who think about training rather than do it and hold up the equipment). And Sorry but circuit trainers in the power room also kind of drive me nuts. I mean come on they take up 4-5 piece’s of equipment and get mad when you ask to get in. All I ask is respect for the other lifters in the gym.

I’ll jump on this bandwagon.  I can’t stand it when people walk away without cleaning up after themselves.  If you are going to wax on then have the decency to wax off.  Complete the cycle.  Do the right thing.  Leave it the way you got it.  The fact that we have to even talk about it is ridiculous.  We have a similar problem at our office.  People use dishes in the kitchen and then leave them in the sink for someone else to clean.  There is actually a sign now that says “if you use it then clean it.”  Do people actually have to be told this?  Unfortunately, YES!

last week I realized a deff. pet peeve of mine in the gym!
I was walking into the locker room and a woman (who is competing against me in my figure show) was harassing me about my current numbers (body fat % and weight).  She askes me to “pick up my shirt and show her my abs” and is always chasing me down with a “lemme get a look at you.”
For me the gym is MY time and I compete for ME! This is about the third time she has done this in two weeks—
I had to find a way to ask her to leave me alone— I can’t believe the nerve! I’m all about friendly competition but this was messin with my alone time..

Mine is when I am in the middle of lifting large amounts of weight over my head, and some dumbass asks me if I have ever hurt myself.  Can’t you at least wait until my workout is finished?  (I inevitably do something clumsy, like slam my finger between the 20kg bumpers!)

ok wow… another PET PEEVE!!!
 
I was in the gym yesterday and some dumb as* came up to me and asked if I was injured, hurt or upset about something.. I said “no why” she responded “You always make this face as if you are in pain or sad” .
 
ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!.. It’s called working out hard!! I am not going to smile when I am finishing my set of 115 lb barbell squats…People seriously need to get a life & leave me alone!!

I don’t understand why people have to critique or judge me in the gym… I don’t bother anyone nor no do I care… When I see someone working out hard not socializing, however, being polite by saying hello and working in with me on equipment, I have respect for them. 
I don’t look down upon them… maybe I need to find a new gym

Pet Peeve of the Week!!
 
Creepers in the gym…
 
My definition of a creeper… Some old nasty man that is old enough to be my father or grandfather staring at me while I am dominating my workout..
 
I can see them in the corner of my eyes CREEPING and smiling pervertedly… Ewwwwwwwww, I think it is so grosser… and it’s not just a happy friendly smile it is a creepy smile…
They actually think they are being sneaky about it…
 
WOW.. I can go on and on about this subject but I will save it for another day.

OMG!! D unit that was hilarious!!!
 
They were so pumped and fired up about their pet peeves.. hahah LOVE IT ….soooo true…
 
The first guy made me a little nervous.. I could actually picture him being “THAT” guy in the guy screaming “push it”.. maybe even breaking out a dance by salt n pepper “pushing it” on the floor….
 
Good rules!
 
Don’t be that crazy guy in the gym screaming.. you look retarded
Spot people with an appropriate attitude (no need for screaming and causing a scene)
Lift a weight that is suitable for you and don’t pretend it’s heavier then it is…
Guys! Cover up you nipples and abs!
Don’t use a million machines and not let people work in
Clean up your stank (sweat, spit, and what ever else)
