- sundancekid503, on 11/21/2007, -0/+66There's also the "too comfortable being naked guy" who you never see working out, but always seems to be lurking around the locker room.
- silentdragoon, on 11/21/2007, -3/+67Gym?
Ah, yes! I seem to remember training my character in one of those, once upon a time. So, are you trying to say these exist in meatspace as well? The very thought! - inactive, on 11/21/2007, -0/+42I'd like to add:
Curl monkeys - Younger trendy dudes who only do curls...and usually in the squat rack, because they're morons. You never see them make any gains. if you see them do an exercise other than curls, it's bench presses...and their equally moronic buddy that's "spotting" him, is actually lifting half the weight for him. Congrats moron, you can now tell some sorority slut you can bench 275 and you're only kind of lying about it.
And The Dude who talks on cell phone and tries to socialize...you never see him working out. He's usually in his 40's and bugs the hell out of all the girls and doesn't hesitate to talk to you while you're undressing in the locker room...even though he never changes in there. - postitnote, on 11/21/2007, -6/+42What the hell's a gym?
- Boing, on 11/21/2007, -1/+33Guess I'll stay fat so I don't have to deal with those people.
- clark24, on 11/21/2007, -0/+2611. The person who spends 5-10 minutes sitting on the machine/bench between sets. Three sets of 10 might take him 45 minutes. Comes in all shapes and sizes, but senior citizens are the most common.
- Animelee, on 11/21/2007, -1/+18Oh, a gym.
- prezzy, on 11/21/2007, -1/+17pics?
- platypibri, on 11/21/2007, -0/+14also:
Soldier of the Revolution: Pseudo-Military or Militia workout "uniform" that generally includes boots, disciplined workout regimen, looks at everyone like they are pissed off and waiting for Judgment Day. Never speaks. - LordSeth, on 11/21/2007, -2/+15I know a Gym....no wait thats Jim
- nexah3, on 11/21/2007, -17/+30Diggers going to the gym? Sounds far fetched to me.
- sjbdallas, on 11/21/2007, -0/+13Why would a doctor work out where there are other doctors? There's no one around to be impressed that you're a doctor.
- sgyoung, on 11/21/2007, -0/+13there is also the "I'm using this machine right now" guy. He claims 5 or 6 machines to himself, because he doesn't understand this is a community thing!
- capiCrimm, on 11/21/2007, -3/+15they don't go many places, which is why they need this.
- luchid, on 11/21/2007, -0/+12Yeah, we sorta read the same article, remember?
- le0pard, on 11/21/2007, -1/+12I go to the gym, and I would like to say I appreciate #3, the "Sparkle Motion" eye candy.
- chrisinsocalif, on 11/21/2007, -3/+14I hate "The Grunter."
Is it really necessary to make so much noise? Have some respect for the people around you. - prezzy, on 11/21/2007, -0/+10Id rather hear someone letting out their tires than some huge bastard screaming at the top of his lungs and scaring the ***** out of me.
- inactive, on 11/21/2007, -3/+12People quoting exerts from the article in... 5.. 4.. 3..
- tlgjames, on 11/21/2007, -1/+10Does the guy lifting 200+ lbs make you nervous as you play with 15 lb dumbbells?
- inactive, on 11/21/2007, -0/+9Ya, Bob the builder. You got a problem with that?
- lanzemurdok, on 11/21/2007, -0/+9they forgot one "People who mind their own business and are just there to work out"
- blitzer, on 11/21/2007, -1/+10Extremely Funny is a bit of an exaggeration.
- mjfitzge, on 11/21/2007, -0/+9oh i would have dugg you down, but mikewhite314 fell right into your trap. well played!
- dmunoz220, on 11/21/2007, -3/+11The ones that piss me off are the ones that fart in a crowd. And why are gym farts so smelly, anyways?
- Murdats, on 11/21/2007, -0/+8maybe he was the one that posted it on the site?
- HelloNavi, on 11/21/2007, -1/+9Because everyone who goes to the gym does steroids. This is proven fact. Of course. Yes.
- hellotyler, on 11/21/2007, -1/+9Could have been a -lot- funnier...
- WarMachineWCLH, on 11/21/2007, -0/+7That list is off a bit. They completely forgot middle aged naked dude in the gym locker room. This dude is the worst. Walking from the showers to his locker inconveniently located as far from the showers as possible, the struts around completely naked and doesn't seem to understand that some people might not be there to watching him stretch while his junk dangles about.
- sjbdallas, on 11/21/2007, -0/+6Gym farts are so smelly because their the ones from deep inside your bowels. They only come out when you strain so hard that diaphragm sqeezes your intestines like a wet towel.
Either that or the wheat grass smoothies they sell in the juice bar. - mikebritton, on 11/21/2007, -0/+6Hilarious, but one omission: the guys who never wash their gym clothes and stink so horribly it makes you feel compromised. Picture a guy in his early fifties with a tank top and a pair of yellow shorts with blue piping, both of which have never been washed. Stink so intense it surpasses body odor and enters the realm of biohazard.
- FearNLoathing, on 11/21/2007, -1/+7They also forgot the woman walking with zero incline on the treadmill, watching TV. Feel the burn!
- m00dy, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5then there is those who sound like their a pipe thats leaking pressure....ughhh pisssssssssssssstttttttttttt
- lebruf, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5You are completely forgetting the Cougars.
They may have past the expiration date, but there's no way in hell they'll go quietly.
Look for: Tightly nipped/tucked skin around the face, silicone bosoms, funky asses, and wrinkly elbows.
Usually wears: Midriffs meant for girls 1/2 their age, anything with "Juicy" on the butt. - inactive, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5What about the slutty girls who are always trying to catch the eyes of the builders?
- NeMoD, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5protip - bring a mp3 player, and it cut's out half of the smuchks in this list
- cheekdog, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5how about the ones that don't know about the free towels and leave the equipment sweaty and nasty!
- sjbdallas, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5Yeah, what's his deal? He stands at the sink brushing his teeth, flossing, combing his hair, etc all with his balony flopping around.
- inactive, on 11/21/2007, -0/+4It's hard not to notice while on the elliptical.
- Sketchcast, on 11/21/2007, -0/+4I had a Thomas Edison on the treadmill beside me yesterday. She was power walking with her elbows way up in the air, like she was a midget trying to muscle her way through a tall crowd. The combination of her Elaine-Dancing awkwardness and her pear shaped physique was too much, I couldn't contain my laughter and had to call it quits early, if only I had a video camera.... if only.
- RealJimShady, on 11/21/2007, -0/+4Curl monkeys and milfs, great additions.
At my gym there is a curl monkey crew, I just call them the big-arm crew, they are serial "curl monkey" + "Unworthy screamer" offenders.
Also, at a gym I used to go to, there was a MILF who actually did some sort of strange sex-er-size thing. where at least 50% of the exercises she did were suspect. No joke she would get into a crab walk position, and rest a barbel on her pelvis and start thrusting away.
I loved it. - sjbdallas, on 11/21/2007, -0/+4What's funny at my gym is that when the hot chicks are working out, you'll find all the guys gravitate towards machines in their area. While the chicks are doing leg lifts or something, all the machines on the row behind them are taken up with guys working on whatever is there. then the girl moves to another section of the gym and SURPRISE, the next reps for the guys are in that area too. I'd love to see a timelapse video of that action.
- intense321, on 11/21/2007, -0/+3Umm yea. I posted that comment in the comments section and then the story got dugg, so I copied and pasted.
- bobbles, on 11/21/2007, -3/+6Seriously if you spend that much time just being annoyed at everyone else in the gym whats the point? I go to feel better about myself not psychoanalyse everyone else there.
- Captj, on 11/21/2007, -0/+3"6. The Unworthy Screamer"
COME ON MACK DADDY!!!! YEAH!!!!!!! - LoudMusic, on 11/21/2007, -0/+3I think any typical group has expected personalities. I've played poker with about 15 different groups of people, and the same personalities are always present. Same is true for the office environment. Why do you think The Office is so popular - because anyone who works in an office can relate!
- gurm, on 11/21/2007, -0/+3No, no, no, no. GYM is the sound format for the Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis. Everybody knows that. Those who think "gym" is a place for training have obviously played/watched too much Pokémon.
- sjbdallas, on 11/21/2007, -0/+3That's a good name for them. I was trying to think of a way to identify them but you pegged them perfectly.
What's missing are the MILFs. There are tons of those at my gym. They wander in around 9am dragging a pair of kids under 5 into the daycare section of the gym. Then they do an aerobics class or the stairmaster then sit in the juicebar for an hour chatting with eachother until their daycare time is up and they have to sign their kids out. - inactive, on 11/21/2007, -0/+2I think "The Mayor" would be a better description... the guy who talks to everyone. These are the people I hate most at my gym.. invariably it's a retired man who seems to spend hours at the gym every day, barely doing any exercise but hogging machines and yammering the same jokes and stories to anyone who'll listen. I guess they have no other social outlet... but sheesh, they make me all antisocial and walk into the place with my headphones on and not take them off unless someone is bold enough to tap me on the shoulder.
- KingGorilla, on 11/21/2007, -0/+2It means it's only mostly true
