		<description>OK, I vote for the yelling and grunting after each rep (not set, rep).  I&#039;ve seen guys load the bar with way too many plates, do ONE rep while yelling and grunting in order to get everyone&#039;s attention, letting the bar crash on the floor, and then walk around the mat as if expecting a standing ovation.

Geez, get some class!

		<description>Close the shower curtain, I don&#039;t want your runoff!  And don&#039;t hawk on the shower floor.  And please don&#039;t choose the shower next to mine when there are twenty other ones.

People who watch other people changing.  There oughtta be a law against that.

People who smoke in the bathroom!  And spit on the bathroom floor.  Seriously rotten.

Trainers who stand around breathing your oxygen - make yourself useful or go somewhere else please.  

People who get between you and the mirror during  a set, and just stand around gawking at themselves.  Or people who cut by you mid-set in your space and throw off your rhythm - they should be gut-checked.

Employees who come and talk to you, or watch you training, standing around talking, while weights are scattered all over the place and towels and even trash.  I&#039;d fire &#039;em.

People who  don&#039;t wipe their sweat off the machines.  People who bounce around five different machines with no plan or method to their workout - and somehow always land on the machine you&#039;re about to do next..  

TALKING.  TALKING.  TALKING.  If it&#039;s all you&#039;re doing, GTFO.  It gives me a headache when all I can hear is your voice going on and on - especially if it&#039;s using a phone on a treadmill.  It&#039;s a shared public space, people.  Not a stage for the drama of your life.  (This goes for groups having business meetings in cafes too).  If the guy across the room can follow your conversation, IT&#039;S TOO LOUD.

I hate it when there&#039;s nobody in the gym, you go to your locker, and then they give the next guy the locker right next to yours!  So the whole room is empty except for you two bumping elbows and moving each others&#039; locker doors.  Or when that guy puts his junk right where you would sit instead of the whole rest of the bench.

Don&#039;t get me started!</description>

		<description>There was a guy at my previous gym who was built like a toothpick and would exclaim to his friends: &quot;I have the biggest chest in the gym&quot;.

He would walk around using his phone as a boom box.
The gym music is bad enough, now we have to listen to your crap too! DIE!

terrible etiquette.</description>

		<description>Hey wannabe runners! Please learn how to land on the treadmill quietly. I&#039;m so sick of hearling you big ass feet hit the ground. Yes, I can even hear it over my MP3!</description>
