    ok, how about this for a pet peeve?

    MY LOCKER GOT JACKED TODAY (or yesterday or maybe 3 days ago since that was the last time i was there)! :mad:

    got to the gym, headed to my locker, what do i see....actually, it's what i don't see! my lock is gone. including my sweaty workout gloves and swimming goggles. ****in' assholes.

    this is at the 24 hour fitness on almeda genoa.

    Just because someone can bench 4 plates does not mean they are a roid freak.

    On each side, perhaps.

    If he has pimples on his back, yes.

    it screws up your workout b/c you can't push yourself as much as you want.

    One that I haven't seen on here yet is the "if I leave my towel on the bench I can go away for as long as I want guy." I don't don't know about the gyms that ya'll use, but where I go to school our student life center requires you to bring a towel into the weight/cardio room. It never fails that there is a guy there who will "claim" his weight bench by putting his towel across it. I'll be understanding of the person if they are going to get water from the fountain or if I can see them talking to a freind nearby, but the ones that decide to go take 10 minute long dumps or go talk on their cells phones really piss me off.

    Oh ya that Annoys me too. Or a blatant water bottle or gallon of water for the freaks which they leave on the seat or right next to it. I never realized so many things annoyed me at the gym. Thankfully these things don't happen all the time.

    Yeah thats her she acts like she owns 24..Hell all of them have an attitude to me. I guess its just that I expect to be treated rather nicely considering how much I pay a month for 2 people, but, it is what it islol.

    Brings up another pet peeve though.
    I pay alot per month for the goals to not have nets sometimes and the floor to always be slippery.

    I have a pretty high tolerance except for the work-in guy. There are hundred other machines and benches, but work-in guy has to hover over me. Move on to something else robot and come back when I'm finished.

    a lot of those gym rats or people who work there have major attitudes. I dont know why that is, but its fairly common.

    I have to wear a weight belt. Its more to help me keep proper posture than anything else. I've got a lot of back problems, namely an arthritic crush fracture on one of my vertebrae, and degenerative disc disease. So there. I'll gladly trade you.

    And I don't have a "massive gut," either.

    Right so then when you come back some else is one the machine.

    Christ. Either buy a home gym or man up. It's a ****ing public gym.

    At my gym, it says you cannot have locks overnight on the locker. Otherwise they will cut and clear out your locker for you. I'm not sure if your 24 has different rules, but I've seen this posted at several different locations. Maybe it happened to you?

    1) The person that uses three machines at once... alternating from one to another and holding up the two he's not using with a towell or shirt. No, you are not special. Please don't hold up two or three while i'm waiting. that's just not right.

    2) The person that sits yaps to a friend while on the machine rather than actually using it.

    3) The "Can i cut in" guy. Yeah, that's annoying. I don't take long at all. Just wait for my 3 quick sets please. I'm not one of those 100 reps girls!

    4) The guys that stare are definitely VERY annoying.

    5) Broken cardio machines. I hate it when I'm using an elliptical and when it changes incline 2 mins in, it suddely starts shaking and making a loud griding noise. Then i have to switch right when i got going.
