What grinds your gears in the gym?

For me, its little things that make life harder for others; being inconsiderate.
Like not putting the weights back or putting them in the wrong place. Sitting or putting your phone/water/whatever on something you aren't using. Instead of taking a bar/handle meant for a cable machine back to a place anyone can grab it, you drop it right at your feet so people have to ask permission to use it.
Overly dramatic noises while lifting too, like you're curling a 40lb bar dude, no need to make a scene and make it seem like you're dying

People who leave chit (hoodies, bottles) by equipment and I'm stood waiting like a dikhead for someone to come back.

I give them 45 seconds now and if they don't return I claim the machine

Agreed, most of the time they weren't even using it, or doing a superset that involves everything in the gym you want to use.
I've been cucked by so many waterbottles that people forgot about and left behind.
Only excuse is if you had to chit or something. Or if you absolutely cuck me in weight lifted...

Mainly people who dont remove the plates after using.

Also, bad odor(lots of ****** in my gym)… accident waiting to happen trying when youre trying to not gag while doing benches.

hate leaving plates on, makes me wonder if someone's still using it or they thought it'd be nice to leave the 45's on the bar.
its one thing if you got bo from working out fukking hard, but most of the time its perfume/cologne, or some dude who didn't shower or use deodorant.
both very inconsiderate

Honestly I hate everyone at the gym. They're some of the stupidest people on the plant. I want to throw a 45 at all of their heads.

At my gym, almost no one puts dumbbells back after using them.

If you have a 60 pound, you need to hunt all around to see where the other one is at.

People will leave plates lying on the ground to trip over, right next to the racks for the plates, it's odd.

I don't use machines much but frequently on the should press, there's some guy reading his phone and his sets have ten minute breaks. And, the guy is not muscular, so he's just wasting time.

inb4 a bunch of nonlifting *******s come in and say chit like "wut you can't lift a few weights and put them away? You need help moving a 45?" like uneducated morons.

It fukking pisses me off when people leave machines loaded with weights. Therearesmall, frail, weak, old, injured, etc., people in gyms that actually will struggle with removing 8 45lb plates from a Hammer Strength machine. Leaving them on is a sure sign of a clueless, inconsiderate, small-dikk, fragile-ego troglodyte. Typically the people who leave the weights on are also the people who aren't actually strong enough to use that much weight anyway... 2-inch ROM, body jerking, etc.

Nothing. If whatever is not helping me, I go and fix that. You can push someone aside, who is blocking access to weights rack.

My own readiness to take the pain, is harder to fix.

There was this Zoomer broccoli hair white kid who was "vibing" to whatever he was listening to in his earbuds and suddenly he does the imaginary gun point and shoot thing you see in ghetto rap music videos. I really wanted slap the chit out of him.
