The Gym: the inconsiderate, annoying, B/SOB

Some annoying things in the gym usually doesn’t come from the gym itself, but from the other member of the gym.  It is great to see lots of people are conscious about their health now, but it is grim to see their mental and their inconsiderate attitudes, which, to some extent, really gets to my nerves.  You expect those who are the members in the gym are quite educated and, at least, middle class citizen.  Unfortunately, Indonesians should be taught or told on how to behave in the gym. 

• Those who doesn’t wipe their sweat:  This is pretty disgusting and annoying.  Looking at a machine, wet with sweat is not something that I like to see.  It is still fluid from your body, what is the sweat in wiping your sweat? 
• Those who doesn’t share the machine:  This should be an ethical code I thought everybody knew, but apparently not.   Usually, when I am using a machine and somebody approaches, I ask him/her, “Wanna share?”, then we swap after one set.  I have already found lots of members, especially woman, who rest on the machine after each set, although she knows somebody is standing right next to her waiting.  Usually, the rest should be around a minute before continuing the next set, but sometimes it takes forever for them (don’t they read how to train?).   I find this very inconsiderate.   When I was in the States, where the gym is packed, almost everybody knows this code.  Here, even if you stand in front of the person, she will just ignore you.   And when I ask, “Can we share?”, they will look at you and say, “I’m not done”.   Usually, if the person doesn’t know this code after couple of minutes waiting, I just leave and use another machine.  And you know what, after 5 minutes, this person is still, STILL, just monopolizing the machine!
• Those who doesn’t return the weights :  There is a big writing on the mirror of the gym that says, “If you are strong enough to lift the weight, you are strong enough to put me back”.   Somehow, not everybody has the attitude of returning the weights to the place.  Inconsiderate.
• Those who make loud sounds when they do weights:  Usually those group of narcist men do this.  I mean, I’m also concentrating here…what are you trying to say, like, “Look at me, I’m strong!”?  If it is only like the last counts, and not too loud, that’s tolerable, but when they are loud that the whole gym can hear him, I mean, really ‘kampungan’ (can’t find the right word in English).
• Those who smell:    Aaaaargh…c’mon, you are going to the gym, you know you will sweat, can’t you be considerate and use deodorant?!
• Those who, in an annoying way, tell you how to do your exercise:  I am willing to listen to some members that gives free advise on how to get the most out of the exercise.  But sometimes there are people that tells you in their own annoying way that their way is the correct way and lecture, and talk about themselves.  I had someone commented on me after I did my abs and he said to me, “Well, you will never get a sixpack that way”.  And started telling the story of his life.  Gosh.
• Those who (tries to) talk to you when you are doing your sets:  I mean, can’t you see me groaning and concentrating, please stop talking to me until I’m done with my set?  At least, you can talk to me in between the sets!  I had a guy selling insurance at one time while I was stretching.  In another occassion, I had one of the Rapid Result Coach trying to have a conversation with me while I was in the middle of pumping the glute machine.  

Anyways, I’m sure there are more but these are those that I can think of at the moment, which happened this week.
