Gym annoyances

[Razor Ramon]

I like women who are easily startled.

Listening to guys grunt, yell, and drop dumbells always makes me feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of cavemen. I try not to let it bother me though because I figure they must be working pretty hard. Also, hearing a huge set of weights hit the floor always startles me.

Well when you're set to bench press a pole that in total weighs in over your body weight 8 times you tend to need to get your juices flowing.

If you want a quiet gym go with the rest of the women and take pilates or kickboxing.

I hear Curves is a nice, non-threatening place.

Is this some sort of rapist pick-up line?

Sweat and people who smell are plain disgusting. I mean, that's just basic hygiene. It's no different at the gym than anywhere else.

You sweat when you work out. It makes no sense to expect the absence of sweat in a workout area. You are not violating "basic hygiene" by sweating during a workout. You are in fact making use of a properly functioning body cooling system. You couldn't turn it off if you wanted to. The only option is to not really work out much and thus not sweat. In that case, you shouldn't be in the gym.

I swear you guys are acting like a fisherman complaining that all the other fishermen on the boat smell like fish.

It's not the mere act of sweating that I'm complaining about. Of course everyone sweats when they physically exert themselves. But when people sweat all over the equipments and don't clean it off after they're done, it's just rude.

Try reading before replying, k? I'm not asking people to cease their normal bodily functions and somehow will themselves not to sweat, I'm just asking for the common courtesy not to leave their sweat all over the bench or machine they just used. Clean it the fuck up. That's what gym towels are for.

This thread is filled with quality information!

I am kidding, this thread is filled with many people who do not know what they are talking about.

Wipe down the machine when you are done you gross SOB!

Also, I am lucky that even though I sweat more than ten men, I do not have stinky, smelly sweat.

People that stink are not my friends.

[Advocate]

I hate sweaty machines. Fucking disgusting.

And I hate people that even before they workout smell to high heaven.

[Othello Harrington]

God really? People are actually defending that fucking guy who fucking turns the weight bench into a tributary of the mississippi river and then walks away? It's roughly equal to pissing on the toilet seat and leaving.
