Sportbike: 2002 the "R" is for Respect / One
The regular work out guys who stare at me while i'm grunting trying to put the bar back on the rack. And, the muscle heads who won't answer me when I ask them what they bench.

i just put my pipe on. now I'm exhausted
You'd have to be more descriptive than that. A gay sort of check out or checking definition. I'll check out the development on a few folks. With my work outs, I'll see guys with these gigantic shoulders (my weak point) and have to wonder how much time they spend in the gym to get there
"machines"
What's wrong with machines? It's a gym. There are some things you need to use machines for in order to work on muscles, such as leg lifts. I do about half machines and half weights.
"bench shirt"
I had to look up bench shirts. I can't say that I've seen these in the gym.
"grunters"
My wife hates these folks too. I have to say I'll have to grunt once in a while, especially on the 18th rep of the 3rd set and I'm pushing to get the last two.
"look in the mirror" + "flexing"
I'll watch myself in the mirror for most of the arm and shoulder exercises to make sure I'm doing it right. Besides, you have to look somewhere And one of the books I read showed that flexing was beneficial. Of course I'd expect that for the big-time body builders and not joe schmoe at the corner 24 hour fitness, but hey, you have to start somewhere.
"body odor"
I do my best here but I've yet to find a good deodorant that does more than cover up the smell (which is really the only thing they do). It's a gym, there's going to be smelly people in there. I'd rather smell some body odor than all that fru-fru body wash crap. Of course if you haven't washed your clothes for a month and take showers every Saturday whether you need them or not, then yea, I'm with you.

ditto that one. i hate jan/feb. can't get on a treadmill to save my life. at least they're mostly gone by the end of Feb.
gym whore girl. - that semi cute one that wears tight small clothes and just wanders around to all the 'roiders and flirts but does no actual workout.
big girls + little stretch pants. c'mon! good for you for getting into the gym to try to work off that cottage cheese but no one wants to see it in the mean time. get some loose fitting shorts.
huge weight but tiny movement guy. the squatter that loads up the bar and dips about 2 inches. why bother guy?
big, dumb, giggly girl. miss "can you show me how to use this machine? teeheehee" NO! there's instructions on the side. i'm not here to hit on anyone. i'm here to work out. go get one of the trainers.
no work out towel guy
take the gym bag with you to every machine guy
men in spandex
overeager eliptical machine guy. jumps on, goes warp factor 9 speed for 3 minutes.
know it all guy that wants to give you unsolicited advice yet swings the curl bar half way up with his hips.
different brands of machines that you lift "90 lbs" on brand "A" but the same excercise on brand "B" requires "210 lbs". standardize that crap will ya?
i'll think of more....

I've got one, people who workout with dumbells standing within a foot of where they got them. This really pisses me off when people pick up the lighter dumbells (say less than 40 lbs) and do their curls or whatever right there. If you are gonna use them fine but at least get the hell out of the way so I can pick up the 30's and not have to wait for you.
Dudes that can see you are using a machine, unload all of the weight on it, do some reps, then leave it so you have to load it back up.
I'll ask if I can work in on a machine, but if someone is going significantly heavier or lighter, I won't bother them - they can have the machine until they are finished. I didn't come to the gym to pick up weights.
One other one for me - individuals who either do a circuit workout, or people who leave the machine for a long time between sets and then tell yo uthey were working out there... look man, while you were onthephone/chatting/doingwhatever I waited for a solid minute and had time to do two sets of my own before you showed back up and "claimed" the machine.
If you are going to leave the area be prepared for the possiblity that someone will see the bench/machine not in use and assume its free.

Yep, had that happen a couple of times. They'll leave their gear, go off for a drink of water, take a piss, or SHOOT SOME HOOPS (asswipe!) and then come back to complain that I changed the weights. Again, fook off dillweed

The gym whore girl pisses me off too, especially when there's more than one of them glamoring around some guy yakking away and not working out.
My biggest peeve is people who actually jump rope in a WEIGHT room!!! WTF!!! I've had words with one girl who was skipping rope right next to me. Her b/f, s/o, came over and said,"What's wrong with my girl skipping rope? This is a gym." I told him it was a weight room and the gym was just down the hallway. I swear I thought the girl was going to cry.

5. Guys that check you out (if your a dude like me)....that's just plain fucking gross
this is gonna sound gay but i have looked at other dudes at the gym. i envy them and realize how much time and effort they spent to get their bodies where they are. i use them as my motivation.

I'll check my book for descriptions. One thing you don't know is that I have a frozen shoulder (right). Up until about Feb, it was extremely painful to move my arm around. I've had the pain managed (acupucture is ) but my range of motion has been severly reduced. It's improving but not back to normal yet.
Basically I can't use my right arm to steady any weight that's on my shoulders. I used to do more free weights until this. I'm down to light weights to increase muscle tone in the shoulder and arms and using machines for most of the exercises that require the arms as well (for steadying for instance).
