I Hear ya Chicky LOUD & CLEAR!! Thats why I'm such a loser when it comes to going to the gym myself. You know what- Screw them, I'm glad you worked out anyway!! If you can literally tune them out by listening to music and putting on your blinders!! Thats why I also wear a baseball cap- So noone can see me so well! Muwhaha!

I often wonder why it is the people that look like they spend the most time around gyms are the ones that have the worst gym etiquette.
The fools at the gym we go to are the worst about leaving dumbbells lying around in various parts of the gym, not unloading the weights from bars, etc., leaving their workout juice bottles lying around and then there's the grunting....seriously...what's with the grunting?

Block them out, ignore them, laugh at them, but don't let them ruin your workout!!! They are just rude or ignorant or immature or self absorbed or all of the above. You paid your dues, you have as much right to be there as they do and to do whatever you want, just as they can do whatever they want. Just smile and forget they are there (I know it is hard, I have to remind myself a lot... go the your happy place...).
I was always annoyed by one guy at the gym. It was wierd, evertytime I was there, he was there as well. He would always work with almost no weight and looked like a stick. He always looked over and me and kinda huffed like he was better than me or something. That was like 8 years ago, oddly enough, he is now my step dad.
Thats a crazy story! Wasn't expecting that ending! Did you bulk him up??
Just put on headphones, get in your zone and hit the weights. Once they realize you know what you're doing, they'll quit looking at you funny.
A few guys at this gym I've been to when traveling always look at me like i'm some punk. I just tune them out, get through my workout and keep it intense. Usually if they see you working twice as hard them (cause all they do is finish a set, then talk about how strong they are for 15 minutes), they stop giving that negative attention.

No, now I just revel in the fact that I'm bulkier than him. Besides, after I met his son.......I guess, my "step-brother"........I was impressed to say the least. They guy is huge and very intimidating looking. I couldn't believe that they share the same gene's.
maybe you smell funny :/
jk what did they do? Someone say something? or just giving you funny looks?
I think he's on to something....
Have only had this problem a few times because a few members of the gym think they are better than me due to the age difference which is annoying. The thing that really gets to me though is when I go for a swim afterwords (the pool is only 15m by about 5m) there are these and im not saying it to be an ass but huge women always blocking each end of the pool so that you cannot do proper lengths. And while swimming you have to dodge like a hundred kids arsin about grrrrr it really grinds my gears lol

most pools that i've been to have dedicated lap lanes.. if they have them roped off the lifeguard should keep the miscreants out of there.
That doesn't make any sense....
