Yikes. Every once in a while I'll do that, but it's not loud (and I kinda stop when Led Zeppelin hits the high notes). There's this guy who has headphones and starts dancing. He thinks he's cool…everyone else thinks he's an idiot.My newest pet peeve is cell phones. There was this kid on a machine (the only one in the gym) I wanted to use, and easily could have worked in with him. I decided to use another machine nearby while waiting. What got me angry is that he knew I was waiting for it but instead of letting me work in with him between sets he just sat there and texted away between his sets. What an ignorant jerk. I wanted to punch him. So rude and so annoying. I'm really beginning to think that cell phone usage is the downfall of civilized society. It is just so rude and ignorant. And SO MANY people, mainly the younger ones, just seem addicted to it and don't even realize how rude/antisocial/psycopathic it is. Sometimes when I'm in one of my wise guy moods, I'll stand in the way or stop right in front of them while they're walking and texting. “Oooops, sorry about that. Next time pay attention.”
Funny video. What's funnier is watching these idiots CONTINUE TO TEXT. (except the one run over by the truck)
Ski, how long was the guy occupying the machine? I can see the frustration especially if the gym/equipment is limited and someone takes his own sweet time hogging something (I haven't run into that problem at my current gym because there's almost always something else I can use if need be). As for cell phones – did you ever see that commercial around Christmas (I think it was for the iPhone) where a kid is with his family and is always doing stuff on his cell phone so it makes him look antisocial, and at the end we see that the whole time he was filming a touching home movie of all the moments with his family? I guess we're supposed to find redemption in the antisocial phone user? IMO, that was kind of a dumb commercial.
