Gym Pet Peeves

[Gobias Ind.]

1)First and easily my biggest:
DON'T LIFT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE [censored] RACK!!!! Jesus, you can't take 3 goddamn steps back and lift in the open area??? I'm tired of having to wait 30 seconds to grab the 25lbs b/c you HAVE to do shoulder flies directly in front of the rack and conveniently block off access to any weights in the vicinity.

2)Water bottle fill-up w/ people behind you. I don't mind if the person is almost done or the bottle is small, circa 12 oz. When you have the full bottle that only professional cyclists and/or pee-wee football centers use, let others get thier sip on. Or better yet (as is the case in my gym) go to the far less-occupied water fountain to fill up.

3)Not a big deal, but I've been annoyed from time to time. Girls (or gay men substitute generally) who are nazi's about the aerobic machine schedule. Now, granted, if the gym is packed, by all means we need to abide by the schedule . . . we're not savages. But when the gym is empty and there are 10 of 15 ellipticle machines free, don't tap me on the back and tell you've reserved this machine. Grab another machine you anal [censored]!
