Do you ever stand in the gym where you're at, doing your own thing then look over and see something that makes you go "What the hell?" Yeah, me too. It doesn't matter if you've been going to the gym day in and day out for years, or you're an off-again on-again gymgoer, there are 27 people that piss everyone off at the gym.
1. The plate hogger.
This beefed up 50-year-old guy that thinks he needs every plate in the gym to do his leg press and he's not even doing it with a full range of motion.
2. Using clips on the smith machine.

3. Guys who walk up to you and give you advice.
Get out of here with your know-it-all, chicken-leg-having self.
4. Girls who wear a full face of makeup.
We sure as hell know you aren't sweating today. Why even be here?
5. People who need deodorant.
You can go to the Dollar Tree... it's $1. Apply liberally, to your face.
6. The people who sweat like a pig and don't find it necessary to carry a towel.
We get it, you lift! But you're turning the damn bench into a swimming pool, and I hate cardio bro.
7. Sir Grunts-a-Lot.
I get this, to a point. But you sound like you're having an exorcism performed on you.
8. Sir Grunts-a-Lot with Tiny Weights.
If you're screaming to squat 135 lbs, you should probably just drop weight.
9. People that use the wrong machine for their lifts.
Me: "Hey are you using the squat rack?"
Them: "Yeah man I'm working legs and chest and back and shoulders and arms and core. It's everything day."
10. That dude who works in front of your mirror space.
Bro, I know you see me back here trying to shoulder press. I don't want to look at your ass while I'm doing it.
11. RE-RACK YOUR F****** WEIGHTS!
This isn't a maid service homie.
12. Re-racking the dumbbells in the wrong place.
This person dropped out of school. When they were 10. Because they can't count by 10s. Or match shapes.
13. The once-upon-a-timer running his mouth.
Usually a midlife-crisis guy, wearing a Tapout shirt, telling you about how much he used to be able to lift before his laundry list of injuries.
14. The naked old guy.
Yeah, women have it really rough in the gym.
15. People working off the dumbbell rack.
Why yes, sir or madam, I was trying to work curls but go ahead and stand in the way it's fine. I'm fine.
16. When you're walking to a machine, and make eye contact with that person who is going to beat you to it.
I swear you're doing this on purpose.
17. The person who always wants to work in with you.
Yeah, sure, you can strip all the weight off of my bench then do your barbell rows. That makes sense.
18. Mr. BCS (Big Chest Syndrome).
This guy walks around like Superman with a puffed up chest, average arms and chicken legs.
19. Pathetic pullups.
Yes Crossfitters, I'm talking to you. Giving yourself scoliosis isn't going to make you look good.
20. The quarter squatter.
Likely the guy who stole all of the aforementioned weights in Number 1, he lowers his body four whole inches while squatting 405 lbs.
21. Thumb day every day-ers.
There are 1,000,000 people in this gym, and this douchebag is taking 5 minutes between sets to text and Snapchat.
22. The dude who moves all of your stuff when you go to get water.
First of all, go choke on a protein shake, Jeff. My weights were still on the bar, my towel was here. You knew I was still working.
23. Wannabe Greek Gods.
The not-so-dedicated bodybuilder that stands in the middle of the gym flexing his tiny lats thinking he is a picture perfect God.
24. The player.
Yeah, there are guys who go to the gym just to flirt with (annoy) girls.
25. The attention seeking gym hoe.
Yes, there are cute girls who want guys to stare at their asses while they do squats with no clothes on.
26. Mr./Mrs. Imitator.
They see you working heavy deadlifts, so they set up their own deadlift station beside you and try to one-up you, usually with bad form.
27. Hey can you spot me? On everything.
Someone forgot to tell these people that one-rep maxes are dangerous and overrated anyways.
Please, just stop. Sincerely, every serious person in the gym.
