Given what I have read on this site I have a pretty good gym. People are somewhat friendly and they stay out of your way. I should acknowledge I do not go during the post-work and college student surge. That said, there a couple of guys of distinction.
The first loads several bars like he is doing a circuit, even though he’s not. Every lift he gets a spot, does about 2 quarter reps, drops the DB or bar, and then gets up and walks around waving his arms. This guys has had the same workout for ten years. He is nice enough and stays out of my way. He asked me to spot him once but did not like the fact I expected him to lift the weight rather than me ‘spotting’ him the whole time.
The second guy is far more annoying. He looks toned and walks around with a “you stink” look on his face. Problem, he stinks and his form is even worse on everything I have seen him do. If one looks at him for more than a casual glance his asymmetry screams out. He is setting himself up for some fun problems down the road.
Nothing too weird. Except for the women who does tai chi while she lifts on machines.

He probably holds her head under the blanket when he farts too.
I am lucky my gyms opens at 5:00 am. Working out right when they open is quite a perk. There is only 4 of us in the weight room, and we don’t get in the way. Around 6 am, there comes the guy who in order to do his ab work out, needs to carry 20 towels around, spends minutes wrapping the ab machine or the ‘bitch’ (swiss) ball so he can start his routine. That I find annoying.
The other day I was looking for the spray to wipe down a bench I had just used. I see a lady with it in her hand by another bench. She unscrews the lid, pours half of it out on the bench, then starts wiping down the bench she was using. I’m standing about 5 feet away, and she’s giving me this filthy look. I ask if I can use the bottle when she’s done. She says nothing, then decides to start spraying the bench, as if half of the bottle wasn’t enough to clean up after herself.
There’s an old bald bastard that smells like piss at my gym, he sweats like a pig all over the benches and doesn’t wipe it and he takes seriously 10 minutes to complete one set. (1 super fast rep with low weight then 30 seconds rest then next rep ad infinitum.)

You’ve obviously never heard my rendition of “Just Got Paid”. I was thrown in jail in Sonora, Texas for singing it in a bar.

People who dont get off their machine between sets so that someone else could jump in between. The worst are the ones that take a 60 sec pause whilst holding onto the fucking pulldown/row/whatever bar.

Im pretty sure your coach left 30 seconds between your sets or if not, at least between every 2 sets. During that time someone else could do a set. Now, if that someone else was a jack ass and hogged that machine he also has an honourable mention in this thread.
There should be a level of camaraderie and/if not respect in the gym. We’re all (or should be) decent people. If we make the effort im sure the gym would be a better place.

I’ll PM you the link to a high rez version of the pic.
Unfortunately for you that’s not me. Or if it was, id be a very “compact” 6ft 1 215Lbs.
And much more hair on my legs.
Sorry to disappoint.
On a good note however, If I ever find the girl on that pic i’d get down on one knee straight away.

Oh- this was AFTER they threw beer bottles, and the fight, and the pissing on the bar. I think I also might have questioned whether the bar owner’s wife was actually a woman as well. She was sporting some major facial hair.
That was the last time I drank Tequila. But make no mistake - I blame ZZ-Top
