Let's hear them?

I can't stand when people don't wipe down equipment.
 
There’s a few but I put in my earbuds and stay focused try not to make much eye contact because that leads to conversations that I don’t have time for. My workout sessions are at 4:30 in the morning before work so no time for chatting.
The one that gets to me tho is when I’m in the middle of a set and someone walks up and interrupts my set somehow. That’s the one the others I can ignore.
 
the 150 pound kids that spend five minutes before each set setting up their tripods and getting the perfect camera angle to record their sloppy 20 second set...
 
The standing around playing on their phones and videoing everything they do.

I have a home gym so do my thing without a bunch of jackasses that need constant attention.
 
recently its been people who talk on the phone with the ear piece
as if they are at the office
 
People who do 100 sets on the cable machines and take 10 minute breaks on their phone in between. Also old people who are using out dated information telling me what I should start or stop doing cause it’s bad or good. Or people who try to ask you a question mid set while you have your headphones in.

- 3 half assed sets of an exercise followed by 5 minutes of inactivity in between them sitting on a machine doing 5 sets of facebook on their phones.
- People walking into you because they're in their own little world
- Asking me how many sets I have left DURING MY SET. Really?
- During peak time, using a bench as a drink/keys/towel holder/coffee table. WTF.

Basic gym etiquette/respect is out the window.
 
People taking weights off the machine im using… especially when im mid set, even though the next machine or rack has nobody using it!!! They’re just too fuckin lazy to walk the extra 5 feet
 
Oh forgot...

Shower for God's sake. There's a kid hitting a heavy bag 20 feet away and he REEKS like a bag of rotted onions. HOW IN THE F-ING F DO YOU NOT SMELL YOURSELF.?!

Always when I'm working back and breathing heavy. I should bring vicks vaporub for my upper lip.

People...hygiene. Now.

I have seen people do this on machines and break stacks.

Yeah, that shit gets me frigging steamed. I used to work out with someone with a movement disorder - not epilepsy, but dystonia and sudden stress/noise could set it off. A-hole kid next to us thinks he's Mr. O. dropping the stack on seated rows. My partner called him out and said stop dropping the stack or I'll drop you. That was pretty badass. Idiots.

Yep. Had an old dude who used to come into the gym 15 minutes before closing and tell me I was going to cripple myself doing SLDLs. :D
 
People that put their plates on backwards, really bothers me for some reason lol, but that's just a me thing
