    Shower curtains and bathing suit requirement in the steam room. I mean why did I even bother purchasing the hidden camera?

    In all seriousness, I think its the 15 minutes of watching tik toks between sets while sitting on the equipment. Congrats those three sets took 45 minutes.

    Also the old women who are always cold turning off the fans in the cardio area. Bitch its hot in here.

    People who take pickle ball way too seriously.

    Lousy ratio of MILFS to Fat Chicks

    Always the dots.

    Talking on cell phones

    Went to the gym last night. Had the trifecta of a jerk there. 1. came into the fast moving circuit room and sat on a machine blocking everyone while he was on his phone for 5 minutes between sets. 2. Set his crap down on a SECOND MACHINE next to the one he was using. Never used the machine, just had his crap there taking up space. 3. Didn't wipe down anything before or after use.

    Talking on cell phones

    Had another guy talking on his cell phone, not on ear buds, holding his phone up to his ear for 20 minutes. Just went through and did each machine with 1 arm only.

    Shitty, outdated equipment

    One annoyance I was reminded of today while rowing a 10k was people walking too close. Don't be all up on me. I've had people even bump into me in the past.

    In the end, people are the worst, if you're gonna be annoying at least be hot.

    Bros hogging multiple stations at once

    My gym is small and bit cramped, but the MILF percentage due to socioeconomics and active White Wakanda lifestyle is over 81%.

    That's actually the biggest problem. You can go most places in the country and register at a gym and will unavoidably run into an army of Main Character Syndrome fucking retards.

    Cell phone use. You don’t have to look at your screen in between each and every set. Nor do you have to watch a video while sitting and hogging a machine. Get the fuck off and watch your TikToks elsewhere.

    There's an old guy at my gym that has a grey ponytail down to his lower back and a giant UW weasel logo tattoo on his bicep.

    I'm pretty sure he's a janitor here and just so happens to work out when I'm here.

    I've been contemplating whether or not to show him my doog card and ask him how much money he would have offered DeBoer in October 2023.

    I work out in my garage now too.

    But, when I did the gym, the people taking their sweet ass time instead of exercising it what used to bother me. It's like "Why the fuck are you here just to fiddle fuck around?". Bitches on phones on the treadmill also bothered me.

    When I coached my son's youth baseball team, I learned time management better than I any other period in my life. Just get the GymBoss app on your phone and keep your rest time limited to 10-15 seconds. Even with body weight shit you can get a lot done in 40 min.

    Kids living at home have to rotate hangout spots that aren't a bar charging them 10$ a beer.

    That and couples that go together tend to linger a lot longer.

    I have completely switched to working out outside whenever possible. Bodyweight park near the house… Vitamin D… grounding… fresh air.

    The only advantage to a gym is the motivation that comes from seeing yoga pants wearing smokeshows. But now that i am not in my 20s anymore, that doesn't have the same appeal.

    In the immortal words of Frank Costanza…I got a lot of problems with you people and now you're gonna hear about it!

    Let's start with pool guy. Thx for not towel drying on the pool deck so I have a fucking pool of chlorinated water at my locker assface. Next is old naked guy. This is a gym, not a fucking nudist colony. Last thing I want to see in the locker room is 4 old dudes with their wrinkly yam bags swinging around. Oh look it's fat girl in the sports bra and yoga pants. While u may think its a good look, I speak for the rest of humanity and it's fucking nasty. We're not talking a muffin top, it's the whole fucking bakery hanging out. Last is grunt guy. You know the clown squatting 2 plates a side and thinks he's fucking Jimmy Connors battling Ivan Lendl at Flushing Meadows. FFS learn a proper breathing technique fuctard

    Jud Heathcote naked in the steam room at the Spokane Club is just something the Throbber can never unsee.

    Yoga pants are the northwests version of miniskirts. If you shame the fatties, the skinnies will take up their cause and stop wearing them. Don't fuck this up for the rest of us. Also disagree with nudist colony, respectfully. See my previous comment. Oh, and not willing to bring towel to pool / sauna guy is the worst. I had I believe two ukranian / eastern euro guys absolutely drench a 10 foot area. There is a squeegee that staff uses for the floor and started using it and pushing it to where they were changing. Get the hint.

    Today was a new one. Some fat lady brought a dog in the gym. Not while she was exercising. Just walked in the gym, kind of wandered around with the dog for a bit, and then left.

    I was… rather confused by this.

    For context, the gym is part of the overall family pool facility and by a park + tennis courts + open field, so people walk their dogs nearby, and it is humid AF (dew point in the high 70s), and this was a big poofy dog, so may have needed a couple of minutes to cool off, but just letting the dog stand behind me while erging was… bizarre.

    In the State of Washington, we call that 'homeless tranny cooling off'.

    Quite common.
