My Top 5 Gym Pet Peeves

Anyone who has ever visited a gym knows that there are some annoying things that go on there! In no particular order, here are my top 5 gym pet peeves:

1. Not re-racking weights- What's up with this?? I approach the leg press machine and see that there are 6 45lb plates on each side. The manly man that was using this machine before me could have at least put the plates back on the rack but no....my 95 lb self will do it! Hey, at least I get a shoulder work out from putting them all back.

2. Wearing flip flops to the gym to work out- Ummmm....not smart.

3. Cell phones- It's hard enough manage finding time to fit in a workout. Can people NOT use their cell phones for 30 min? I don't want to hear your conversations while I'm trying to work out.

4. Leaving sweat dripping off whatever equipment being used- Please, please, please! If you sweat all over a bench or machine, please wipe it down before the next person comes and plops down in your puddle of sweat.

5. Machine hogs- People who are using a machine and not sharing. Between sets you could ask someone that's waiting if they want to share it's use. And also, don't use the machines as a chair so you can chit chat with your pals. Someone is probably waiting.

So, that's a few of my pet peeves. Anyone else have any to contribute? We'd love to hear!
