Top 10 Most Annoying People at the Gym
I’m sure we’ve all all run into a few of these annoying people at the gym and elsewhere. Whether they give you a good chuckle or pushing your every button, here is my top ten list of the most annoying people typically found at the gym.
10. The Juice Monkey:
Juice Monkeys are a staple of most weight rooms, although they will never be spotted near any cardio equipment. Juice Monkeys are characterized by an obvious abuse of steroids and associated extreme anger and hostility (roid rage). They often grunt and scream, but more often than not they yell obscenities. Then can be found standing near their workout area simply swearing for no reason. They often find it necessary to throw their dumbbells around, and make as much noise and disruption as possible. Other sure signs of a Juice Monkey include severe acne, gynecomastia (breast development) and testicular atrophy. Despite their athrophied testes, you should not encroach on their territory as mere eye contact may set these Neanderthals off.
9. The Backstage Ass:
The Backstage Ass is a relatively new species of gym goer that I only came across recently. This individual is so hardcore that even after they worked out in the appropriate gym space, they just haven’t gotten enough. The obvious solution? Exercise in the change room! That’s right, nothing says you are an intense exerciser more than a set of push ups among other naked men.
8. The American Idol:
An increasing number of gym goers do their workouts while listening to their music. Many people swear that their music helps them get in the zone and increase the intensity of their workouts while reducing the perception of effort. All this is copacetic. The problem arises when people confuse the gym with a Karaoke bar. The American Idol has somehow decided their tone-deaf interpretation of Thin Lizzy’s “Boys are Back in Town” should not only be endured but be applauded by their fellow exercisers.
7. The Smellies:
These are the type of people who seem to not care about having a faulty sense of smell. For some reason, they are so out of it and do not know that they already have a bad case of b.o. The worst kind of B.O. that can waft your way is that sickly sweet smell that makes you want to throw up. I wish that I could just walk up to them and offer them a deodorant stick to use.
6. The Kanye West:
Given that the gym attracts those individuals who are concerned about their health and appearance, it is expected that you could bump into a few egomaniacs along the way. How can you spot the Kanye West at your gym? Easy – look for the mirrors! The Kanyes will be found mesmerized by their own reflection as they perform any of the following: roll up their sleeves and flex their biceps, run their hands through their hair, nonchalantly lift their shirts to flex their abs. You may find engaging in conversation with a Kanye West a tad difficult as they will often talk (usually unengaged) to you while continuing to stare at themselves in the mirror.
