I seem to recall a post with you saying something about "... just because you are wearing headphones, doesn't mean everyone else can not hear you fart."<br /><br />I have to admit, I shave naked from time to time (when I forget my towel) in the gym.

Why, being one of them. <br /><br />Here are my top five: <br />1. People who read on the treadmill.<br />2. People who fart on the treadmill beside or in front of you. <br />3. People who fling sweat and don't wipe down machines. <br />4. Men who clearly do not know the proper form to lift weights, but want to show off. <br />5. Finally. People who want to "chat" while you are trying to do speed work on the treadmill.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13066073693751890834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-65231781279910447692011-08-14T07:25:58.519-05:002011-08-14T07:25:58.519-05:00I never go to the gym.

Or the other old yucky guy wearing the man thong in the pool. WTF PEOPLE!?!?!?!?<br /><br />What about the folks who are SO dressed up that they basically come to flirt and find dates.

I mean, seriously, you are a dude, training a young girl who happens to forget she's out in public with what she's wearing and you have her bending over in front of you to do god knows what. We are on to you, slimeball... <br /><br />I also love the ladies then get all all of the treadmills-bikes-ellipticals-enteryourownpieceofequipmenthere and just talk. Don't turn them on or anything. They go through the movements of what that machine is supposed to do, but with zero resistance, speed, anything.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771758178064698651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-83306137290098531292011-08-13T08:39:06.026-05:002011-08-13T08:39:06.026-05:00This was hilarious!

I workout hard too but I don't want to sit/touch your sweat once you finish your set. Clean up after yourself!<br /><br />Second is people (and this is generally girls) who get on a treadmill or elliptical and read. They are going so slow they aren't getting any kind of workout in, so why are you there?! The gym is not book of the month club!<br /><br />Third, and I think this is only at my gym, there is a guy who never swims a full lap. He will start swimming with you, like he's racing you, and then flail along and try to pass you, once he does he starts walking the rest of the length of the pool. And his flailing makes so much waves and chop it's like swimming in OW! If you try and speed up so he can't pass you, he flails even more and makes more chop. He annoys me, but at least I can swim more than half a length of the pool!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711665343830880404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-70515018229029948612011-08-13T05:26:25.175-05:002011-08-13T05:26:25.175-05:00BTW, I'm a trainer so I'm feeling ya bro.....BTW, I'm a trainer so I'm feeling ya bro....see this all the time.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10772288061645106211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-81501898586281900722011-08-13T05:25:47.905-05:002011-08-13T05:25:47.905-05:00Love your blog.....
