Gym Etiquette

Everyone are bound to meet an irritating and annoying person. Whether you are in a club, library, restaurant, shopping complex or gym. Ever since the existence of mankind, it is undeniable that at least one "idiotic" people will be born to this world now and then, with the job to irritate you as much as they want. For my case, it would be during gym. Yes, today I'm talking about gym etiquette. Tons of people would give various excuses just to skip or avoid gym. I am one of them.
The most common reason would be lazy, or just have no motivation. As for me, it would be "stupid" people and academic studies. It's been almost 2 full months since I last step in the gym. So with no delay, I embraced myself again and head to the gym today, feeling inspired and motivated to achieve my dream body. However, these incidence has cause many dubious thoughts whether should I go to the gym again.
What bother me the most during gym would be the sound exerted by "stupid" people in the gym. It is reasonable to sometimes produce involuntary sound during hardcore work-out, pushing yourself over the limit. But this has totally gone far beyond comprehension. Not only that they make ear-splitting noise, they sometimes shout out loud. Shout, as in LOUD !!
Sometimes, in more humorous attempt, would be moaning. Yes, he moan as though he was having a bloody hardcore fuck in the gym. Even pOrN-stars is incomparable to him. Not only its hillarious, but distracting ! Even with my eye closed and focused, the sound is still audible to my naked ears. You would say, shift to another area then. However, you have to bear in mind that my workout is based on certain body parts, hence, I use free weights periodically. It would be a total absurd if you want me to move the machine -.-
Furthermore, some do it to gain attention. They give sounds like "Yeah", "Give it to me", and "UH". WTF ? I can see they carry really heavy weights that I can't even attempt to do it. But do you have go to the extent of shouting out loud, just to make everyone to notice you ? No, You don't. Ocassionally, I would even encounter this kind of people, emulating the same thing, but with the wrong posture ! My trainer has taught me well to prioritize good workout posture as it is vital in avoiding internal and external injury during workout. How I wish they would accidentally draw forth convulsion during these attempt. Then I would go cackling like a demon, leaving him to deal with his contortion of body.
The second "stupid" kind of people would be, people hogging the equipments almost 24/7. Although the gym is capacious, you would rarely get enough space to move around when you are in peak hour. Not to mention the fact that most machines are only available in 1 or 2 sets. It's really troublesome when I just about to complete my workout, a guy or a woman would be sitting there using the equipment that I wanted. Yes, usually I would let patience overwhelm me but eventually my patience would dry out.
15min.. 30min.. I will still encounter the bloody same person using the same equipments, especially abdominal. My god, doing countless of same workout isn't going to get you anywhere, not forgetting that sometimes they use so light weights, that even 7 year old kid has no problem carrying it. At times, I would just give up and head to shower. After I have done with my shower, I thought I would take one last look at the equipment whether its still occupied by him/her. The answer is YES. *Gobsmacked !*
Third "stupid" people would be people that leave their bloody stench, and putrid sweats on the equipments. The disgusting odour emanated from the sweats were so noticeable. Besides that, some people are born with hyperhidrosis or to simplify it, a condition characterized by abnormally increased perspiration. Despite them knowing that, they aren't even bothered to wipe their bloody sweat off from the equipment !!
Lastly, "stupid" people no 4. Before I start, everyone no matter male or female, old man or young women, black or white, want to maintain their springful youth. Albeit said, there is still time and place to do that. Sometimes, it would be such an eyesore to see old women, ranging from age 49-55 above, would dress in a mere slutty dresses, revealing their sagging belly button and other body parts. Tight tops, pants, even skirts ! OMFG. It's sooooo disgusting. .. .. ..
Everyone tend to get old and we must never live in denial. As a quote said, denial may be a bliss, but reality is a pain. We have to face the reality like what I've stated. At times, I would overheard their conversation and you'll be laughing like a chicken if you're in my shoes.
"Hey baby !",
"Hello darling !",
"I miss you !",
"I love you !",
Bloody hell.. . . What a deafening moment ! I am not condeming them but do they have to say it as such a high amplitude ? (sry too much physics =D) It means loud in case you don't know. Recently, I encounter another kind of person, usually targeted on aunts. For machines, they would just let go the weights from such a height, that it would definitely damage the equipments. Just imagine 5 stacked bars, drop from such a height, clashing with the remaining bars underneath. BANG !, its so loud, even I was entirely preoccupied with my surrounding.
So there ya go, I just hate to see this kind of people. I mean, "Stupid" people.
