1. Guys who put 5 plates on each side to do squats and barely even bend their knees yelling and screaming trying to get it back on the rack
2. The New Year's resolution crowd...out of 20 or 30 extra people one or two stick with it
3. "Hey, how much you bench."
4. People that talk on their cell phones for 15 minutes between sets
5. Guys that check you out (if your a dude like me)....that's just plain fucking gross
I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but someone else out there has to have something.
I fall into the area of #2! I just can't maintain the motivation to go to the gym. I do however have a new motivation at least for a few months (hope to stay with it even after), but I just found out I am going to SWAT school in Sept so I need to get my ass in some form of shape!

I personally hate all the chromed-out, extended-swingarm-equipped R1s that typically block the entrance. Usually has the requisite, non-full faced helmets either on the seat or dangling from a clip-on.
People that camp out on a machine that you are wanting to use.
People who stand next to a machine like they are going to use it but are really just yapping for 15 minutes. This happened a couple weeks ago and I was so pissed I walked right in the middle of them and started using the machine. They gave me a hurt look and walked off. Grrr.
6. Grunters
7. People who sit on the machines instead of working out
8. People that spend more time naked in the locker room than necessary. Use a towel!
9. Guys that have a whole array of beauty products scattered all over the sink counter
10. People that leave their shit on the benches by the lockers so there's no place to sit when getting changed.
11. Guys that use the hairdryer on their bunghole (yes I saw this the other day and had to leave, quickly)
Especially the team monopolizers. That's the two or three that alternate between two or three machines. I'll go through my routine and these yahoos will monopolize them for the whole time I'm working out. Idiots.
I'll go through my routine waiting for them to finish. I've stood at the machine I wanted to use until the grandfather/grandson team got the hint and let me use it. Now I get the hairy eyeball whenever I see them. Fook 'em
