why cant they behave?  because they think that since they are in a gym they think they are mr macho or something.  Bunch of meatheads..thats why I dont go.  WHo cares how much weight you can lift...doesnt take much for me to lift my middle finger and direct it to you.

My pet peeves:

1.  People who don't put the weights back on the rack when they're finished...especially the muscle-heads who put too many weights on the bar in the first place...then just leave them there.
2.  People who sit on the machines and talk...knowing that others are waiting to use the equipment.
3.  People who don't have the courtesy to wipe their sweat off the benches.

I should have made the water bottle thing my 4th pet peeve.  You're right.  I hate that...especially when people have those big bottles that take two minutes to fill.  It's incredible how inconsiderate people are.

We moved to Florida from Cleveland almost two years ago.  My wife grew up in Miami.  She loves being back...and I love living here.  It's paradise, bro!

The 24 Hour Fitness I go to has an upper level for the cardio equipment that over looks the workout main floor and I have to do at least an hour of cardio.

Watching the "posers" who do a few reps then stand looking around the gym to see who's watching them cracks me up.

My other favorite group are the "young ladies", usually still plump with baby fat and all of 18-19 years old, who have all the gym attire, water bottle and  towel... they make their way to all the equipment making faint attempts at "looking like they're really working out" all the time looking around the gym, much like the "posers", to see who's checking them out! 

It's like hanging out in a pick-up bar I tell ya!   :*))

Use your iPod/MP3 Player....drowns out even the loudest of idiots.

It might not be a good idea to do that to a guy who really can lift a lot.   ^-^ !i#t W3!ght

Yeah people who just sit on the machines and talk piss me off. I don't go to the gym to socialize and just pretend to work i have an actual routine im doing. Than you have the "posers" and "young ladies" as sgt. pate so elegantly put it. I tend to workout more in my basement now cuz of all these people

Yeah !!!

If you're like me ... yer in a ZONE....no cell phone (I leave mine in the car)....no socializing (or as little as you can get away with).

What a lot of people don't realize is that sitting around for extended periods of time between sets DRASTICALLY REDUCES the intensity of a workout.  And I'm not even talking about circuit training where the cardio aspect is key.

Those who've done Bill Phillips' program (Body4Life) -- just to mention one -- know that to maintain a productive intensitiy, you need to limit your resting time to 60 seconds between sets and 2 minutes when switching to a new exercise/muscle group.

Some of these clowns do a set....sit around and flap their jaw for 5 or 10 minutes.....do another set....jibber jabber for another 5 or 10 minutes....etc...
