Today it was just her and I and she could've set up a bit further away, but nope, right next to the rack is where she was. Incidentally she's also the one that seems to need the stability ball (there ARE others in the gym) when I'm using it.
Ever wonder if she's trying to get your attention? Maybe she hopes one day you'll strike up a conversation while you're asking her to get out of your way.

Myabe I'm just having a moment here, but why would anyone do dumbell curls at the squat rack? What benefit does it give you? I could see how it could help when doing barbell curls, but how does it benefit single dumbells?

My main problem is probably the whole sweat deal. Yes, we all sweat when we go to the gym, but some people have the courtesy of wiping up behind themselves. Some people think that just because they were sitting in their own sweat, that nobody else would mind doing so too.

Second is the chatty kathys. Did you come to workout or talk? Some people I think go to the gym to look at girls and talk ONLY, and its freaking pathetic. My brother in law is thinking about switching gyms because he doesn't think there are enough "hot chicks" at our gym. Don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya!

True, but all it's doing is pissing me off lol. Like I said - antisocial when I'm in the gym. I'm there to get my stuff done and be out as soon as I can. I've since discovered that the "quiet" time at the gym is around 2pm (I start at 11am). So I think I'll just go then and avoid the hassle. (Also, for whatever reason, someone has to be using the lat pulldown machine when I need it.)

2 things. Both of which I saw the other day:
1) Adults staring at you and smiling when you do an exercise heavier than them. Just freaky.
2) people who knock their drinks inbetween the weights in use, squashing the bottle of powerade causing it to go all over the weights. F*****g classic.
