When you catch a half dozen people staring at your through a maze of a half dozen angled mirrors, all while you attempt a sub-maximal deadlift.
When you the PT tries to tell you that if you can't attempt a 1RM without chalk, that your grip must be poor. As if there is a 1:1 relationship between the two.
When the PT assumes that you don't train sufficiently for functional strength, after watching you deadlift or squat.
When you look around the gym on a reasonably full day, and aren't sure if anyone would be comfortable spotting you.
When you go to warm up with some dumbbells, and all of those in your warm up range are being used for working sets.
When you are performing lunges with the same weight that the guy beside you is squatting.
When you are surprised that the guy beside you is even squatting that much.
When you are surprised that the guy beside you is even squatting.
When you look at those thick ass bumper plates (like 80mm) and wonder if you're going to have room to fit on a bar clamp after setting up.

What's that, it's 2330 and i feel like training?
What's that, I want to train in compression pants only?
What's that, I want to stare at myself intently in the mirror while posing/performing isolation exercises.
The only person judging me is me.
And I'm thinkin 'That guy is a douche. And I enjoy training at home'

When the "fitness instructor" says to you "gee there's a lot of weight on the bar, please don't hurt yourself" when your just doing your regular deadlifts.
When you walk in to the gym, go and grab the bar and put it where you intend to train and before you've even loaded a plate on it someone wants to talk to you about your training.
When you catch the PT and his client in the background not training but sitting on the leg extension machine and watching you do squats.
- Yes I do wear a belt, those things around my knees are called knee wraps. How about concentrating on "training" your client and leaving me to do my squats kunce! God that raged me out.

When I was in England in April I was training an old female friend and while she did her cardio I was doing my own thing and this day I was squatting. I believe I worked up to 140kg on front squats for a single and did 10x100kg and 20x60kg.
Afterwards she came down and I just did the same workout she did to encourage her through it. She didn't have big legs and her squat was suffering so afterwards we went to the leg press. When it came to my set I just loaded it up to the last pin and after about 15 reps the wire snapped and the plate stack came crashing down
We did leg curls and extensions next
