Pet Peeves

[LadyMuskie]

People who go to the drive-through ATM and treat it like they're the only people in the world using the ATM. There is a middle aged woman driving a white Cadillac who is lucky to be alive right now because she spent at least 20 minutes at the ATM. I had enough time to back out of the ATM lane (after I waited patiently for 10 minutes), park, get my daughter out of her car seat, go inside, cash my check, let my daughter pick out a sucker, let daughter talk to teller, walk out of bank, put daughter back in car seat and then get in myself and drive away. White Cadillac woman was still there doing who knows what. And she wasn't elderly. We're talking 60 tops. Completely inconsiderate.

The guy in the gym who stands right in front of the weight rack to do his exercises.

Why? Do you think standing closer will make your "muscles" look bigger? Take a few steps back so other people can grab the weights you are standing right in front of!

Very annoying. We could easily have a "gym pet peeve" thread. Like the groups of five dudes lifting together. How the eff u gonna get a good lift in when u gotta wait for four dudes to finish their lift?

Sriously - have the decency of knowing what you are going to do before getting there.

How about peope who order ridiculous orders at a fast food drive through? Don't take ten minutes to order at a drive through.

Or when one guy constantly rotates between two or more weights/machines and shoots you dirty looks or worse if you try to sneak in one set.

Or people who don't rerack weights or rerack them out of order.

Or people who don't sanitize after they use the bench/machine/bike etc.

I could go on.

That one blows my mind. These dudes just call dibs on multiple machines and go back and forth like it's their personal gym. Sometimes I don't realize they're on one of the machines because they're doing sets on another one. They then come over and tell me that they're still using it. I would punch them in the face, but they're usually huge dudes because they lift so much.

I like the ones who just keep sticking the card in 5 times as if some magic is going to happen to change their balance from zero.

Idiotic drivers in the rain who somehow think that regular rules don't apply because it's raining. You want to take two lanes? Merge extra slow?

If you can't handle driving in the rain, just don't drive in the rain. That is preferable to driving like an idiot in the rain. Get a ride. Catch the bus. Whatever. Just don't drive in front of me.

You know what I do in these situations? Just keep working out.

Seriously what are they going to do? Fight me over the machine? A few months ago I told a guy I was almost done when I was in the middle of a set and he told me he was using it.

I finished. Asked him what his setting were, changed the settings for him, wiped down the machine (I work out in a gym that doesn't supply towels, and I am a minority in bringing my own) and walked away.

It's like arguing over parking spaces. I refuse to engage people, outside of this site obviously, in absolutely stupid arguments.
