10 Annoying-Ass People at the Gym

23 Apr 2009

 

I’ve been working out at the local YMCA for several months now and to be honest, I haven’t really enjoyed the people there. Most of them are pretty chill, but several of the older guys tend to give me the eye whenever I strive to do anything remotely athletic. I honestly can’t help that I am a bigger than the average guy, I certainly don’t want to show off, but I have to get a workout someway or another.

This morning I put together this list of people that annoy the Hell out of me when I’m in the gym . . . I think it pretty well sums it up:

10. The people outside the giant window watching us run – You are either running like a giant bird, off balanced, or perhaps overweight. The glass between me and you is not the iron curtain, I’m going to stare.

9. The locker room mirror hog – Dude’s gotta look good.

8. The raquetball super-enthusiasts – Whether it be racquetball or Left4Dead, I take competition serious on any level. By the way, there’s a C in raCquetball.
7. Wearers of ill-fitting gym clothing of the small persuasion – If girls didn’t wear these, I honestly wouldn’t be at the gym. They wear them because they know guys look at them.

6. The locker room phone-talker – Business is business.

5. The person setting a world record for speed on the elliptical machine –What’s the point in using a gym machine if your purpose isn’t to break it?

4. The over-motivated personal trainer – He takes his job seriously and you are giving him shit for it? Come on!

3. The dude sitting too close on the stretching mat – He just wants to bask in your musk. Give the man a break because you want to do your yoga in peace.

2. The Goddess – She’s hott, entertaining, and encouraging. I promise I will get her number within week . . . or at least I make that promise to myself.

1. The couple – Yeah, they’re annoying as shit. Right on.
