I agree. I go to Gold's Gym here in Columbia, and I've seen quite a few folks in unflattering gym attire. I believe absolutely no one with a huge stomach should wear a midrift bearing outfit, and white women with varicose veins should not wear spandex shorts. Ugh!!! Really gross!!! I usually wear long, black spandex pants with an oversized white t-shirt because I don't like people looking at my booty, and I don't like my skin actually touching the dirty, sweaty weight equipment.
I hate how everyone always wants to talk to me when I'm working out. Even when I have the clarity of mind to bring my CD player people still bother me. Can't you see I'm listening to music? Music! I don't want to interact with you assholes or the entire outside world in general. But still they bother me.
I know exactly how you feel, Boo. The same thing happens to me. I usually go to the gym around 8 p.m., so I have to really be on the move and concentrate to get in 30-45 minutes of cardio and a full workout, so I really don't have time for chit chat. Yet, I always have some old, black man following me around the gym or some other undesirable man trying to flirt with me or pick me up. Excuse me, but I did not come here to pick up old men. The fact that I'm wearing headphones and watching the overhead televisions should be your first clue that "I'm busy!" And "note to men" it's probably not the best time to approach a woman when she is hot and sweaty and wearing no makeup with her hair snatched back.
I hate how macho men have to be around the bench press. Characteristically these men measure each other's strength by how much weight they can bench.
I hate when men or women congregate around gym equipment, because it means I'll have to wait all bloody night before I can get my three sets in. Furthermore, I hate when people rest on the machines in the circuit training section, not allowing others to work through. And I hate when people don't wipe off the equipment after they've been sweating all over it. Yuck!!!
I hate everybody that goes to the gym. I hate the overweight middle-aged housewives that pay full price all year round so they can workout in the aerobics center in droves for the two weeks after New Years. I hate how there is always one feeble old person working out, never more then one, but always at least one there. I hate the people that come to the gym and don't work out. People who pay good money to join a gym then only come to socialize and hang out piss me off to no end.
lol. It ticks me off when people don't follow gym etiquette during peak hours, staying on the few elliptical machines for an hour when there are others waiting. This is so rude. And I hate seeing people do improper, or even dangerous, form on weight machines.
