If I get to the gym before 8am there'll always be a couple of 'tradesmen' working out in those worky trousers with all the pockets, and safety boots.
For me, one for 'things that annoy me beyond reason' thread.
So likely cotton, same as jeans. They must stink to high heaven later in the day with all the sweat from the work-out soaking into them.For me, one for 'things that annoy me beyond reason' thread.
first thing I thought too

I'm trying to speak with someone about it now.
This makes me shudder. A few weeks ago I absent mindedly forgot to put the collar on the right hand side of the bar after increasing load. Did some STOH to fail, wobbled a bit when reracking, and 35kg split over large diameter plates tumbled off. Embarrassing but as there was no CHILD IN A BASKET under it all that was hurt was my pride.
Certifiable.
Ah January .... .
New couple literally camping in one area taking over 3 benches, bags, coats, more bags.
Video yourself if you want, fill your boots, please don't balance your phone on other equipment people are trying to use.
Some interesting "form" , like parkour free weights. please don't injure yourself (or more importantly others)

k OFF. Been using the gym at work lately. it's a lesure/lifestyle type gym so hasn't got really heavy weights, has a smith machine, but no barbels, only fixed weight barbells. full of casuals.
- people won't clean/wipe down equipment
- people decide to leave their clothes on the pegs instead of putting it in a locker. lockers which use a 4digit PIN you can create yourself.
on my first session in their i was using one of the ellipticals that happened to be next to the water dispsenser. 3 people had fnished their workout (not a single sweat on them). chatting around it, getting in other peoples ways..even taking selfies!! two girls and 1 guy. even more shame on the guy as it appeared to be his phone and he wanted to do the selfie.

Today's gripe, people in just socks or barefoot in the gym
I sometimes do squats in socks, but I put my trainers back on after.I also saw an infant in baby seat in the gym today, it is just not the place for small kids, most of the kids that come in are well behaved but there are a few that are too young and unsupervised, running though a busy gym is a receipt for disaster but that is what happens.
But my main moan is, people leaving chewing gum on equipment, its not very often but it happens, todays was three clods of similar red gum inserted into the cup holder on a Cross Trainer, what kind of sub human creature does that, bloody peasants, there was a bin maybe ten feet away.
