At my gym there is also:
There is sunglasses guy....your indoors....take your fucking shades off. specially if it dark outside.
Super cheating while lifting guy: pretty much the same as bad form guy. But I HATE seeing people bounce the bar off their chests. I wanna see them try and lift much weight using proper form. Or the people on teh row machine going at light speed using arms and not thier backs.
I'm waiting for someone to really hurt themselves...and i'll laugh when it finally happens.
Oh and ugly chick who think they hot chicks..chicks......UGH please, where something to cover up MORE.

HMMMMM.....
I hate:
Old guys that try to talk to young girls...and think they are cool.
When I want to get on a machine, and a middle aged woman does a set, sits for 15 minute....then does another set, and won't let me work in.
When guys leave 10 plates on each side of the leg press machine.

I am not sure how common this guy is, but my gym has "stone washed cut-off jean shorts" guy. It is kind of a derivative of "too short shorts" guy.
And nobody mentioned "I can bench a lot on the Smith machine" guy. Shit, anyone who uses the Smith machine to do any moves can be grouped in here for that matter.

Is everyone ready for the new-years resolution crowd? A bunch of overweight middle-aged people that work out a grand total of 3 times before giving up, ugh.
I guess they're better than the Spring Break crew - 2 weeks before spring break, better get to the gym so i can do my bicep curls and the bench press, gotta be ripped for Cancun!

One you forgot to mention.
I forgot to change into work out clothes guy. He is still wearing blue jeans/cargo pants, and wearing a regular t-shirt or long sleeve shirt AND an undershirt. NOt that I am saying there should be a certain dress code, but this makes no sense to me. I usually wear some sweatpants/shorts or warm up pants and a wifebeater (carry it on my back

LOL, Hilarious
Yea, I've been a Weigh-Lifter for years. Our Gym is fairly sedate. There is one guy that wears Spandex, a couple of Muscle heads that might be a bit on the loud side, but for the most part, people are there to build, maintain, stay in shape, not to impress, depress the clientel....Thank Goodness

I hate people that can't spot for shit. I hate it when they're practically curling for me when I'm benching. Then instead of doing the 4-6 reps I'd usually do, I'd have to do 8 just to feel a slight burn.
Then I hate those who don't know how to spot. I was doing military press with dumb bells and I was on my 3rd set so I was pretty fried. I had this guy who was going to spot me. He helped me get up my left dumbell without me asking. But wouldn't get my right.
I attempted to get it up and then asked for some help. He kept saying just bounce it off your knee instead of helping me. So by the time he helps me I'm already fried on my right side. 
Then when he finally gets it up for me I have obviously have no strength to lift it. So instead of helping me on the first rep, which you usually do since the weights are coming from under your shoulders, he's there telling me it's too heavy and I need to go lighter. :wtf: So I drop 5 lbs per dumbell and ask him iniitally to please help me lift the dumbells. He does and I slowly hit 3 reps. Then while slowly going up on my 4th, hes there telling me that it's too heavy and I can't lift it. :wtf:. So that was like nitrous hitting the arms and I throw up the 4th. I told him sarcastically thanks for the spot after the set. Dumbass.

i dont go to the gym that often, but when i was workin out at school there would be those people who would walk in front of you while you were workin out infront of the mirror. i mean there wasnt that much space b/w the benches and the mirror and theyd still find a way to walk infront of u. i thought that got a lil annoying at times.

I almost forgot about the 'pervs'. The guys (usually over 50) that stop any attempt at working out to literally stare at the little highschool girls. There is even one guy who is about 75 yo that passes out candy from his gym bag to the 'barely dressed' girls. Too funny/disturbing.

these guys are the absolute worst! can't believe I didn't mention them. I took a girl to the gym last week, this 70 year old dude went right up to her and said 'hi sweety, you don't need to work out, you have a beautiful body. but i'm glad you are here, you give me something to look at'. what the fuck? this girl is 21 this guy is 70. just disgusting. what is it about the gym that makes old guys feel like they can hit on all the little girls?

I just realized how true the "I don't put the weights back in the proper place because I can't tell the difference between 50 and 25" guy's habits are. .... does 50 really look like 25? Cause I don't see it.

Not Asian
I forgot about this one guy (saw him last night at the gym). He has the whole "outfit." Under Armour type pants, might be Nike, long sleeve shirt, visor, fanny pack, headphones. The thing is, he doesn't wear anything on top of them, just skin tight clothes.

Interesting. Interesting.
Weird Asain guy - Comes in with street clothes on adn doesn't change. Hangs on the chin-up bar for several minutes without doing a chin-up. Goes to a butterfly machine and does 8 butterflies as fast as humanly possible. Gets off the machine and bows to it. Then leaves.

A guy at my gym reads the newspaper on the bench. He sits back and reads for 5, 10 minutes at a time. He spends over an hour in the weight room to do maybe 5 sets.
