Exactly that happened to me today, and he asked a friend of mine to spot him on the curls.

Gym pet peeves.....when people come up to you when you CLEARLY are in the zone and have your head phones on AND are curling a dumbbell. I can't think of anything else that could indicate to someone I'm tied up at the moment.
(my friend did this once and I said "what's up Jim Etiquette" it just slipped off my tongue and LOVED that I said it!)

One more, when there's a guy who always JUST bench presses, his chest is massive but he has chicken calves. For some reason it annoys me:O~~

Well, one more....When people rudely hold a stare...you know, everyone looks at everyone on the gym floor, especially in the weight room...there are mirrors everywhere and between sets, only natural, but when you have a guy who does rounds and talks and you never see him lifting....lets just say I have been working very hard on zoning this type of person out....aren't you there to work?

ok, this forum makes me happy because i can bitc& about the things someone else might think I'm too sensitive about.....
my friend will come up to me right when I walk on gym floor, putting my earphones in (I dont know about you, but for ME, when I step foot in that gym, I am ready to work..I am ready to sweat and think about getting my work on and I dont want to talk to you unless I just finished a great cardio session and have my endorphins flowing..I know, it's bad, but some people liek to go to gym adn talk and some don't and I don't....I think that's ok! I talk to people all day..

so I have this acquaintance and I'm putting my ear phones in and she ALWAYS catches me while I"m doing this and starts a conversation, but here's the thing, 1 minute, hello, how are you, ok, but when you start telling me you're having massive diahrea and need a boyfriend...I can't do it!

You ever get men bothering you, or trying to talk to you?

I was wondering what a woman has to deal with in the free weight section.
