You Know What Grinds My Gears?

I was at work today talking to my coworkers about the gym and how my workouts have been going. I told my supervisor about this guy who was there today and he was being kinda obnoxious. The worst part about it is that he knew exactly who I was talking about. This got me to thinking about other things that annoy me about people in the gym. Here are some of my gripes about some gym patrons.

You Know What Grinds My Gears?

MuscleHead Douchebags: This is the only way I could describe this breed of people. They're the guys who walk around in their sister's tank tops flexing for NOOO apparent reason. They like to show off, grunt, and lift heavy weights, even if their form is terrible. Go ahead and pop your shoulder out, that's what you get! Take today for example. This obnoxious guy was doing too much. Of course, he was walking around in the tight shirt, flexing, lifting heavier weights than me, CRAVING my attention clearly. I gave one of my legendary eye rolls and kept it moving. I'm there to workout and tune out all of the madness in the world. Unfortunately, the madness somehow finds me.

Fashion Models: Apparently, the weight room is a photoshoot for some people. This breed of idiot likes to wear sunglasses indoors with gold chairs and obnoxiously fake earrings. Seriously? I get it, people want to look their best and possibly catch someone's attention, but newsflash, THEY DON'T WANT YOU!!!!

PHONES PHONES PHONES: If there is one thing that REALLY grinds my gears is people that sit around on their phones and chat obnoxiously about nothing. This wouldn't bother me so much if they weren't taking up a machine or a bench that this gym junkie *points to self* is trying to use. Leave the phone in the car or your locker, and get down to business. 

This concludes my post about what grinds my gears in the gym. Please don't fall into one of these categories. Go to the gym to workout, not for social hour. Keep it moving!
