I’m not the complaining type, but certain things really take the cake. Like in the gym, for example. See, i spend a lot of time in the gym. After home and work, there’s the place I spend the most time (driving in my car doesn’t count in the list). And like any other place with lots of people, certain things peeve certain other people.
So here goes.
Using the hairdryer in the locker room to dry other things than your hair.
My gym has hairdryers at the dressing table in the locker rooms, see. Obviously, for drying for hair. But some guys use it for drying other things – armpits, privates, toes, slippers. I mean, eeeeew man. And that, is the one reason i don’t ever touch them hairdryers.
Chatting while on the machines.
Every gym has them. These people sit on the weight machines, do one set, spend 10 mins talking with their friends / trainers / on the phone. Then do another set, continue talking. If you want to talk, go to the juice bar and don’t hog the machines.
The Staring Guy in the Locker Room
See, there’s this cleaning guy in the locker room. When he’s not cleaning, he likes to sit on the benches facing the lockers, and… stare. At other guys. Changing. If that is not creepy enough, he has this disturbing slow smirk when he looks at you.
The Loud Guy.
Everything about him screams ‘look at me!’. He grunts while lifting, drops weights on the floor and talks loudly. Even his protein farts are loud.
The Naked Gym in the Locker Room
The highlight of the day for the staring guy above. Guys that strip naked and walk around the locker room. I’m not discriminating, but its ALWAYS the gwailou!
The Auntie Fellowship at the Juice Bar
See there are big groups of aunties and si-lai’s that congregate at the juice bar after their workouts (if walking 10 mins on the treadmill at 4.0 actually counts as a workout). That’s fine but NOT when they start chattering like they are in the coffeeshop. While eating popiahs and McDonald’s.

Yeah it is so true.
I’ve experienced a lot of the above everytime i go to the gym.
They are annoying all right, but the most unacceptable one is of course the naked in the locker one.
Sometimes they even got naked in the sauna!
Argh!

Major EWWWW on no.1! Some people really have no sense of hygiene!
Gym really should be the place to do just that, working out, nothing else.

I used to spend a LOT of time in the gym before my children came along! And yes, I agree with you that those are annoying habits. Women don’t do the hairdryer thing in the locker, that’s for sure – either that or I don’t see it. But I definitely see the Auntie fellowship at the bar area. Sometimes there are even UNCLES fellowshipping there!
Oh…I have another annoying one: People who SHOW OFF in classes. Do and strut their own stuff without caring what the instructor is saying.

The freaky guy in the locker room should be fired!!!
As for the aunties….well…..that is what you call AUNTY !!!! But McD? They should ban that from gyms!! No outside food allowed!!!!

What about chicks?
You didn’t mention no chicks!
Is your gym devoid of them?
How boring!!

Hahaha, guys are usually more resourceful when it comes to gadgets, isn’t it?
One, I think the staring guy is gay and two, the ones walking around naked are also gay hoping to get picked up. Maria Sharapova grunts a lot too on the court but I don’t hear anyone complaining? I know I always do…
Aiyo…give the aunties a breaklah. I could be one of them and hey, that’s the best part of working out at the gym i.e. catching up with each other for some fun and laughter. Being at home with kids or in the kitchen all day can be dull and dreary, you see 😉

It can be essential to be physically fit as it reduces the chances of finding health difficulties. The current researches have proved the reality that consumers who engage themselves in normal physical activities can stay away from a lot of diseases which include cardiovascular challenges, high blood pressure, diabetes, as well as cancer.

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
