Phones really should be banned on the gym floor. If I see people sitting on a bench texting or whatever hogging equipment, I just pick up their stuff and use it. Most of the time they are done anyway and just being inconsiderate fucks.

Hard one with the phones, I usually have mine with me but that's because I bring up my training spreadsheet to follow (my memory is about as good as a custard tart so need it!).
Definitely no facebooking, texting, taking selfies going on though haha!

Same here. My workout log is kept in the Notes section. Images for inspiration also accessed. Cough.

Seen today in the gym: a guy kneeling on a mat doing side raises with 6kg dumbbells... with straps helping him hold onto the dumbbells.
This is the same guy who abused one of my clients for dropping her cleans. He's had a PT for 4 years.

The young crossfit lass who insists on wearing Under Amour Spandex short shorts........I have not issues with her.
OH, I almost forgot, a guy was raising the height of the cable cross over multi station thing and the bar you would do curls or tri extensions on hit him fair and square in the plums on the way past........that was me.....

Yeah I couldn't care less about what others are doing in the gym as long as it doesn effect me personally, like hogging a bench or whatever for half and hour while stuffing around on their phone and not lifting, not that I have encountered problems like this at my current gym

As long as the mrs waits til youve finished a set or spots you on the next one, its ok.
I like my shed gym too, but I dont have facebook and Ive never done the deed while training, will add that to my bucket list before the year is out. Thanks [MENTION=9039]D1cko[/MENTION];

New guy at the gym asked me to spot his seated shoulder press. Wanting to at least appear sociable and friiendly to newbies, I said Ok how many do you wanna do? 5. Right, so he swings the 25kg DBs up, starts pushing and gets stuck halfway.. this was the first rep. So I 'spotted' him by pushing up on his elbows. Second rep was worse and I asked if that was it, seeing this was too heavy. "No!" he shouted, and went for it again. By the fifth rep I got a nice pump in my biceps. Then he didn't even have the strength to lower it back down but dumped the dumbells from head height to the ground with mighty bangs, missing my feet by about an inch.
Worse thing was he then had the audacity to look at me with an expectant face, perhaps waiting for a high-5 or a cheerful 'It's all you, bro!' comment from me. I just walked off lol.
