OT: Annoying gym members and / or their habits

Many years ago in the IM building at Michigan there was an old guy (70+, probably pushing 80) who had a strange and (to me) disgusting conclusion to his shower routine.

After a normal soap 'n rinse sequence, he'd adjust the shower nozzle to whatever the opposite of "mist" is. Focused stream, I guess. Then, facing away from the stream he'd bend over forward really far and shuffle around until he had the shower acting as a high-velocity, high-volume bidet.

I was like WTF when I first saw this and wondered if he just had some kind of issue that day. Nope. I saw him again a couple weeks later and he did the same thing. Blew my mind ...

Years later I heard a caller to WRIF's "Drew and Mike" show complain about something similar. I wondered if it was the same guy. (He didn't say where he'd seen it.)

There was an elderly gentlemen at my former gym who placed his genitals at the jacuzzi jets.  I never used it again.

I go to the gym in Orange County, CA. The lack of etiquette I see every time I go is still mind-boggling, even after a year. The people here act like they're the only person on the planet. My biggest pet peeve is when people throw their bags (even though bags aren't allowed) on one machine to "save" it and then proceed to use another machine.

I can't wait to get out of here.

mostly up on the cardio floor, but

-people who sweat all over a machine and don't wipe it down

-people using the machine at slow speed, having a loud cellphone conversation

-you're watching one of the TVs while doing cardio, and someone just up and changes the channel without regard to if anyone else is watching

-people doing the stepmill facing backwards; never understood that

-someone using a treadmill, and they rest by stradling the belt while it continues to run

-working out while wearing expensive watch, or a lot of jewelry (leave it at home, maybe?)

-using a shower, and leaving towels/razors/shaving cream all over the place; and we are talking manscaping here, can't you do that at home???

-blasting mutliple TVs in the locker room; cacophony!

the 10 pound weights do not go where the 80 pound weights go

do your set, get off, let someone else work in.  be efficient and everybody can do all the sets they want. 

and yeah, not only put the weights away, but kind of like grrranimals, how about you match them up - 45's go with other 45's, 35's with 35's, etc. 

Knuckleheads that don't know what a weight belt is for. You only wear it if you're going to get crushed otherwise doing squats. Don't wear the damn thing for biceps curls. If you need it for curls, you're doing it wrong. And if you don't but you're wearing it anyway, you're a tool.

That felt good.

The dude who after his workout will sit his naked sweaty hairy ass right on the wooden bench. His sweaty balls are rubbing all over it and some poor sap will come in there after him and sit right there or put his bag right there.  

Or you get the guy who thinks he is still in the Navy and walks around the locker room totally nude.  He will go to the sink and shave, dry his ball-fro with the wall dryer, and/or just walk around conversing with anyone who will listen, while still totally fucking nude.  What is wrong with people man?  

who walk across the track from the halled area without looking, in spite of warning signs.  I collided with one guy while running and he was pissed at me!

Someone putting all their shit, water bottle, towel, notepad (really, you can't remember your routine), by a machine. The do one rep on the machine, then do like crunches right next to it, and go back an forth for a half hour. 

Talkers- STFU.

"Experts"- STFU
