- When women wear full faces of make up.
- When women wear inappropriately short shorts and tight, cleavage-bearing tank tops.
- When women wear extra tight pants/shorts and no underwear.
- When women wear extra tight pants/shorts and thongs. You're just asking for a yeast infection. Ew.
- When people sweat profusely all over the machines and then do not clean up after themselves even though there are paper towels and disinfectant spray bottles placed in many locations for their convenience.
- When men wear extremely tight shirts or tank tops to show off their "guns" and abs.
- When people get on the elliptical machines and put them on the lowest possible resistance and then pump their legs and arms as fast as they can and think it's actually doing something for them. It's basically like running on air.
- When the women in the locker room just strip down and stand around sweaty and naked. I guess I'm just not as comfortable with blatant nudity as they are.
- When I have my earphones in and it's pretty obvious that I'm listening to music and people still try to talk to me.
- When people ask if they can work in with me on a machine and take turns using it.
- When this certain cleaning man is wiping down the treadmills and he gets on the one right next to me and faces me and takes FOREVER to clean it. It makes me feel quite uncomfortable.
- When men assume you don't know how to use a machine and offer to help you.
- When I get stuck on a treadmill next to two loud, chatty people.
- When I watch someone clearly using the treadmill for the first time as they try to propel themselves forward and magically make the tread start rolling faster. Use the buttons in front of you!
- When people wear sandals. Yes, they really do.
- When people on machines beside me look over and see what speed I'm going/how far I've gone/etc. Just general nosiness.
- When people talk on their cell phones on a machine beside me.
- When people get sweat stains in embarassing places. I know it's not their fault, but it's gross to look at.
- When groups of men on testosterone overload insist on ogling every woman that walks by.
- When the entire row of treadmills is empty and someone decides to park themselves on the one directly next to me.
- When I decide to do something different and take a class and the gym nazis that are class regulars have the nerve to tell me that I'm "in their spot".
