Gym Pet Peeves

People who workout in the same pair of shoes they just used to walk across a parking lot covered in snow, mud, dirt, salt, whatever. I have a friend who owns a gym and he is a very nice guy, unless you don't carry your workout shoes into his place.

My two favorites.

One of those group exercise sessions. All the women in the back are laughing. Then I see this guys wearing shorts with his testicles dangling out the bottom as they do this move on all fours to music.

I walk into a gym locker room to shower after a tough hour on the bike. I keep to myself but I see everyone sitting around laughing at some 70 or so year old guy.

At first, I thought it was his tats and punk look due to his age, then I realized that he was sitting on the bench but his testicles were resting on the floor. I mean how the heck does that happen and why woukd you show it off at a gym?

I'm at the gym last night around 2. As usual there's only one other person there. The guy there tonight happens to be running around the place doing some kind of circuit shit with just about every machine they have. Whatever.

I ride the bike for a few minutes then go over to the squat rack. Do one warmup set with just the bar. The guy comes up to me and asks me if I'm almost done. I ask him if he needs a spot because that's the only plausible explanation for this interaction that I could think of. No, he wants to to use the rack. Confused, I just say OK and nod.

I do another set with weight. He asks me again. I'm not sure why he's so enamored with this particular rack, why he's under the impression that someone in a gym with visible earbuds in wants to be spoken to multiple times, or why he even needs it considering he's been doing sets on about nine different leg machines, but here he is. I motion towards the other empty, usable racks. He just turns and goes back to his machines.

I do another set. He looks at me until I make eye contact with him. Another set. He gives me this inquisitive thumbs up and shrugs his shoulders. I do three extra sets because I'll be damned if I'm letting this idiot ruin my sweet Katy Perry leg day mix. Thought about doing some curls in there to be a meanie but decided my masculinity probably couldn't take the hit right now.

As I'm taking the plates off I see him speed-walking out of the locker room. Before he gets to the door he turns and looks at me like I killed his family.

This dude is probably going to stab me in the parking lot. More importantly, I'm worried that he's going to be back every night and I'm going to be sharing my peaceful gym time with some douchebag that thinks it's cool to talk to others.

I also have a planet fitness membership and for the price alone I can't complain. It keeps me in shape. I suppose if I had a pet peeve it was when I was walking out today and I saw a guy grab like 4 slices of pizza after (before?) his workout since PF offers free pizza on the first Monday of the month.
