Why does this grind your gears? The arch?

The cleaning vigilantes. I always wipe down equipment after use. One guy said I hadn't done it. He wasn't even looking. My trainer had to intervene. What an asshat though.

So what did you tell him when he said you hadn't done it?

I said you can see I have sprayed it with the anti-bac. He said it was sweat. The trainer came and said smell it. Then a few others said they had seen me do it. Dunno what his problem was.

It's happened before. I have seen people not clean stuff when done and I go and clean it before use anyway.

In a sauna, people are going to SWEAT. Better to have the sweat steamed up again than just sitting on the bench, no? If it hits the burner, anything besides water that gets turned back to steam gets burned up.

I'm sure this was mentioned already but those portable bluetooth speaker setups. The gym I go to is in a very small town so you will often have anywhere from just yourself to maybe 3-4 others in there at a time. The 20 year olds now have these bluetooth tower speakers that they move around with and blast their music.

From a 20 something year old - those guys are asshats and deserve public condemnation lol

I hate when people leave their dog poop bags laying on the bench. Throw it in the neighbor company's trash can, for goodness sake

You encountered this into a gym? Wow, strange things are going on near Oxnard

I love it when a girl decides to start doing her lunges/weightless squats in front of me -

The same crap was going on at my gym for a little while. Thankfully, it seemed to have stopped.

It’s annoying that people come to the gym and spend all of their time filming; coming with a complete camera crew and all. Just lift!

Right?!? A bunch of BBW trying to get attention from the guys in that section of the gym. You should’ve seen their, “Yeah, we know look good!” facial expressions. SMH!

I'd have to grab the 120lb DB's,walk alongside that camera setup and accidentally have one slip out my hand at just the right time.....I seriously,seriously miss the old hardcore juicehead gyms from back in the 80s/90s/00's..where you can train w like minded gym rats and know you can always grab a spot from someone who isn't gonna let that weight crush your neck while benching cause their too busy texting and not paying attention to you...the ones that had no or minimal air conditioning,no sanitizing stations,no candy dishes at the front counter and had chalk dust everywhere...where you'd hear people yelling/screaming at their training partner to get that personal best or last rep etc.
And if you were brave enough to bring in a camera you'd better be taking pics of your buddy with an Olympic bar across his shoulders,the bar bending like a banana 'cause your squatting 7 plates on each side with just a belt&knee wraps or,deadlifting 505lbs+ w just some chalk on your palms. And if you couldn't lift that amount of weight,you kept training your ass off til you could come close.
Nowadays you have these people taking vids of themselves benching 135lbs on a Smith machine or squatting 185lbs and not even close to parallel let alone ass to ankles. Hogging the weights/rack/bench because they have to take&post a vid on social media to impress others. GTFO with that shit. Honestly,the women seem much worse w this shit then the guys...posing w the duck-face expression showing their ass or tits off and fixing their hair/make-up right there on the gym floor so they can take a fucking selfie while you're just trying to finish your session before you lose your pump and they're preventing you from doing that cause their pics/vids are much more important than your workout. again,GTFO w that shit

Kinda the equivalent to owning a Honda Civic w a fart can muffler and huge two-tiered wing on the back that runs 17sec in the 1/4mi and you're at the NHRA Gator Nationals taking vids of your Civic posting how fast it is. Get in where you fit in lol

Ok...old,cranky man is done ranting..carry on
