And those people who give you a dirty look when you give any number over 2 when they ask how many sets you have left...

I hate the gym for so many reasons lolHalfTimePie wrote:People that want to work in with me when in the gym. I usually do tri-sets, headphones in. I like my space, and timing is key for me. I understand why they do it but it's not my problem.

I have stopped going to the gym i have used for some time and going to try another but no doubt it will be the same issues. There are always a group of guys in tracksuit bottoms and a hoody (find this very strange in a warm gym) that just stand there talking about social events, half arsed pulling weights and taking selfies. There was a guy the other week asking the person on the other end of his phone conversation to come to the gym so he can "kick his ****ing head in!".... charming people in my local gym
I understand people enjoy the gym, i don't personally, i just want to do my bit and be gone but you always get held back by people who hog equipment and don't even use it properly. There is one guy who sits on the weight machine and reads his ****ing kindle in-between reps!

Re: Little things that irritate you
There now seems to be more hands free phone calls , yet people do not grasp how loud they speak when they have headphones in, so you really feel you are part of their dull conversations.r99c wrote:People unnecessarily using speaker phone, walking along holding the mobile in front of their mouth talking.

I guess that's another thing that irritates me, people that phone someone for the sake of talking on the train and talk about how they are going to make a spag bol after work, watch some netflix etc or something else just as boring....

Re: Little things that irritate you
One of my pet hates. I hate talking on the phone anyway and try to keep it to a bear minimum unless it’s important. I can’t do idle chit-chat on the phone - it’s just a waste of my time and I can’t understand why people go in for that sort of crap.The Gibbins wrote:I guess that's another thing that irritates me, people that phone someone for the sake of talking on the train and talk about how they are going to make a spag bol after work, watch some netflix etc or something else just as boring....

I actually avoid picking up important work calls, such is my hatred for using a phone.

Mrs Toulouse can yak on for hours (literally) on the phone and I just can't get my head around it. With my best mate, our rare phone conversations go: "Hello, fancy a beer?" "OK, where, when?" "such and such pub at 8?" "Ok, cheers". Total time spent: 20 seconds.

Discarded dog poo bags.
The amount of dog poo bags that are discarded on the streets/paths nowadays. You have taking the time to bag the crap, tie a knot. Why can't you throw it in the bin rather than throw it on the floor?

Re: Little things that irritate you
Some dog owners really get on my nerves, they will just watch their dog plant a massive turd on the floor and leave it....
It's always my luck that when i walk mine he has the shits and plants a rotten one on the floor :lol: but i always make sure i clean it up, nothing more annoying than treading in dog ****!

Re: Little things that irritate you
The modern obsession with the gym and "exercising" in general.
Gone are the days when women were "expected to be skinny" and blokes were expected to have beer bellies. Now you've got to have a ripper upper body and loads of **** tattoos, apparently, or you aint a proper fella.

Re: Little things that irritate you
I fully understand and agree with everything you say here Gibbins. I go to an Ab Salute Gym in the evenings and its full of the tracksuit wearing pretty boys who go there and have no idea what they are doing. Probably causing more injuries than working their small muscles. People hogging equipment does my head in if they aren't using it properly and taking an age between each set, but my gym in London by my office is rammed when I go, so I have to get my station and hold on to it for my entire workout pretty much focusing on different exercises I can do on that one bench for example.The Gibbins wrote:

If I saw a guy reading a kindle in between each set I would definitely ask him to kindly bugger off though!

It definitely isn't a surprise at all! I only go to that one because its the cheapest in my town and they have decent equipment in there. Can't stand the clientele to be honest!

Re: Little things that irritate you
I use the free gym at work, which is full of the twatty 20-something blokes and girls that work here. Still, it's free, and is on site, so I can't complain.
Even if the c*nts do play Kiss FM over the PA.
