Ever since I began working out, there have been little things at the gym that irk me. If you work out, you know what I'm talking about. If you don't, these are some solid reasons to skip the gym. Here are my top five gym pet peeves in no particular order.
1. People looking over at your machine
There are only a few things that are worse than someone casually looking over at your machine as you're working out. They think they're being sneaky and sly about it, but you see them checking out the speed on your treadmill as they slowly up theirs to compete with you.
2. People trying to talk to you
I'm in the zone, I'm working out, I'm feeling good, and all of a sudden, someone wants to talk to me. I don't know about you guys, but I go into workout MODE and being snapped out of it is awful.
3. People making direct eye contact with you
This is especially bad when doing hip thrusts or anything that could be considered even slightly sexual. It's just creepy, keep your eyes on the ceiling, please.
4. People who flex at themselves in the mirror
We get it. You look good. Nice job. Please stop.
5. People just sitting/chatting on the machines not using them
This also goes for people who stand in front of the machine/piece of equipment you're trying to use. Please move out of the way or sit somewhere else for the sake of everyone's sanity.
