Default Workout Crew v. gym pet peeves

almost died today at the gym. was on my 5th or 6th rep of dumbbell presses w/ 60s in each hand when i smelled something similar to rotten milk. i gagged while tryin to raise the dumbbells and had to drop those things on my chest before they hit the ground freakin terrible. and of course theres about 4 other guys in a 10 ft radius so it couldve been any of them :squint:

so yeah, i hate it when youre tryin to work out and someone passes some NASTY gas and you dont know who it is

I switched gyms because my old one (YMCA) drove me insane.

1. People who don't put back their weights.

2. Teenagers.

3. Teenagers who fuck around on the weights.

4. Teenagers who congregate around the area you're lifting in.

5. fucking people who decide to have a conversation within inches of you. You're pressing hard and trying not to hit them with your lift. There's plenty of fucking room elsewhere .

6. Dipshits who decide to go swimming, then lifting. They leave the machines wet ... and they fucking stink.

7. People who do not use deodorant. They sweat up a storm and fucking smell.

i go really late at night because of most of that crap.

i also don't like it when people put the weights back in the wrong spots.

OH ... I can't forget the one guy who's not in shape ... but walks around with his arms to the side like he were Tad Buffington. You see him lift and grunt ... but constantly short change the rep motion. He'll never bring a bar even CLOSE to his chest. He'll never go full range with anything.

Fuck that guy.

There are quite a few but that comes with a lot of people being there.

there's this one guy that i see sometimes. he's a skinny asian guy that's always on the bench. he's got a 10 on each side, and would do a rep (all crooked mind you) and then put it back, sit up and rub his shoulder like it hurt. he'd do the same exact thing the whole time i was at the gym, sometimes doing 2-3 reps before putting it back. just never made much sense. but what was really sick was that every once in a while he'd stick his hand down his shorts and "adjust". i stay away from that bench.
