    I already know how to lip read. Captions make it much easier if I want to watch different shows at the same time. =)


    Yes, thank you for the definitions. I'm wondering if he really meant that the guy was actually masturbating on a treadmill. *shrugs*

    Naked guy hanging out in the locker room -- he is there when you get there -- he's still there when you leave.

    The person that comes to the treadmill right next to yours when there are seveal other open as someone had already mentioned is uber annoying.

    The guys that wear jeans and boots and a wife beater when they lift. WTF dude go buy some gym clothes.

    One time an old Indian man in a leotard yes, a leotard kept starring at me. I had to bounce.

    Guys that blatantly stink. You walk by them or they walk by you and they smell like my dirty gym clothes at the bottom of my laundry basket that's been there for a few days.

    my #1 pet peeve

    Jumping in the pool after working out and not taking a shower. I mean, you expect the pool water to wipe your nasties away for everyone to swin in?

    I thought it was to stop your guts from spilling out from under the pressure?

    Someone should make a video about "The ten guys you see in every gym," like they did with bball pickup games.


    Mine:

    1. The Sidekick: Sometimes a really ripped guy (not necessarily a bad guy) has a friend who's not in shape but acts like he is by association. However he picks on others and acts like he's the ripped one. Saw one of these a-holes the other day picking on some guys because they were Indian.

    2. The Entourage: the group of 4 or more friends who do the same work out but use the same machine. They will crowd around as each person does their set, so you have five dudes using the bench for 30 minutes and each works out for a total of four minutes in that period (the remaining time is changing the weights around.

    3. The Litterbug: Its fine for guys to be messy, but not in common areas where it involves heavy weights. This ahole will do some curls and leave the bar on the floor. Why put weights back on the rack when they can lay flat on the ground and basically become land mines to some unsuspecting victim? Another pet peeve of mine are people who need a box to do pull ups but when they are done, they leave the box there.

    4. The Attention w****: The girl who does "weights", but only to be around the guys. You can identify these by noticing that they take long breaks, talk loudly, they are always in the middle of the floor, don't do much weight and never look tired. They usually come in pairs, one shy one and one not so shy. If she's hot, it's not so annoying, but if she's taking up space during a peak period, it's not considerate to others.

    5. Hydroman: It's a water fountain, not a shower. This is the guy who uses the water fountain to wash their hair, and splash their sweat all over the spout. He'll drink, spit it out, gargle, take his time, and when he's done it looks like he just came out of Katrina.

    6. McFlaily: Kind of rare, but these are the people who don't have very controlled motions or any idea about their surroundings. One guy was next to me on a mat when I was doing situps and I suddenly see a foot pass by my head. He was on his back doing leg lifts but was kicking out to the side when coming down. This will also be the guy who swings his weights around to compensate for weakness. Stepping within arms length of these people is asking for a concussion.

    The other ones mentioned are annoying. Not wiping off your sweat is really bad. And I hate dudes who lay territory to a machine but take five minute breaks between reps.

    10. Cologne man - Why someone would pour on an entire bottle of cologne before going to the gym baffles me. Throws you off just as much as B.O.

    Are you against the shakes. . .or just against using them and not working out?
