    The gym I used to go to had this one guy in there every day and he would be in there for hours (from what I've heard from the trainers).
    I would always see him just walking around talking to everyone and walking with a strut whilst giving others dirty looks, including me, he thought because his arms were massive he was king shit.

    I have always said that you will not find a bigger collection of d-bags than at the gym. It would make the perfect setting for a sitcom. This article is kinda long, but I think it sums up some of the characters that you find at the gym (you all know the turds you see that wear a bandana or headband/wristbands...do a set every 10 minutes and spend most of their time talking to anyone that will listen to them. Then tell everyone they 'worked out' for 2 hours).

    I tried to work at a gym for 2 years (tried because I've never seen so many unprofessional people in one place) and that article couldn't be more true. Although we were a high price gym, so some of the species mentioned in the article were hunted down to extinction (camper, grunter, hoarder,...), personal trainers were not allowed and the circuit jerks were escorted to one of the 2 circuits where they had to obey to a lights-system or risk being thrown out and banned for life :mrgreen:

    I work out at a budget-chain now though and am the only woman who dares to set foot in the weights-area thanks to the cave-men who practically live there. Since it's always the same idiots, most of them learned to stop staring when I give them the lifted eyebrow stink-eye and the hoarders fork over whatever I need when I tell them to stop sitting on it *g* Some of them even mumble a hello when they have a good day :D

    Was doing cable flies today and some turd asks me to work in. no problem. then he proceeds to set up mats, a bench, and change the height of the cables. took me a lot of willpower to not tell the dude that in the time it took him to set shit up I could have finished my two sets I had left.

    Seemed like this guy was in my way throughout my entire workout. That ever happen to anyone?

    I can't stand douchebags

    Those guys make me laugh. :lol:

    Recently saw some guy all tattooed up, wearing what looked like brand new expensive Jordan's, and an authentic Derrick Rose jersey. It also looked like he had used about a half of a bottle of gel on his hair about 20 minutes prior.

    Maybe he confused the gym with the nightclub?

    :lol: What an ass.

    I can't bring myself to ask to "work in." It's just as easy to maybe do a different exercise until that machine is open. Unless you really are on a strict structure of your workout, I guess.

    I'm the same way. Only time I really ask is if I'm finishing up and there aren't any other options.

    That, and you probably don't plan on setting up camp there either. :lol:

    why the hell do people wear winter hats in the gym...ever? this never makes sense, but is especially confusing during the summer.

    also, I think today was 'ladies bring a tool to the gym day'. it was like shallow hal, just the opposite.

    My friends cousin is updating his status on facebook all the time and checking in all the time to gyms.
    He goes to about 3 different gyms and goes a few times a day even at midnight, the dude is huge now.

    Ahhh I hate asking to "work in". I only do it if it's really packed and I only have one last machine or exercise to do. I could rant for days about shit at the gym that drives me nuts...

    If it's like the guys at my gym, it's just compression pants. Supposedly they help with circulation and some other cardiovascular stuff. Actual scientific studies on them show mixed results.

    I don't wear them. They just look uncomfortable to me.
