I have great skin. If it affected my skin, obviously I wouldn't do it. |

Wearing a full face of makeup to the gym isn't my thing, but I don't understand how doing so is "annoying." How does it affect or impede you you? In what way are you personally bothered?
|
| These doesn't annoy me, I just find it intriguing, regulars that wear non-gym clothes. I'm talking jeans, dockers with belts, polo shirts, medical scrubs, guys in their 30-early 50s. Every time, so not a one off that they forgot to bring a change of clothes. very odd, seems shorts would be more comfortable. Of course I'm not counting Otis, he is 84 years-old and wears a short-sleeve button up with pens in his pocket on the treadmill, I love Otis!! |

| "That guy" who does a few halfhearted sets on a machine and then spends the rest of his time trying to talk to women. |
But why does this even bother you? Not slowing you down, not impacting your workout. Who cares? |
Otis sounds awesome! |
I mean, unless they are hogging the mirror putting on lipstick why do you think they should wash their face before exercising. I'm coming from work, going to the grocery store after, and stopping by inlawas on the way home, why should I remove makeup to only put back on later? |

The guys who let their weights drop on the ground - it's so loud!
Men (it's usually men!) who admire their muscles in the mirror. |

I have a few "spreaders" at my gym. I call them spreaders because they'll use one piece of equipment, but leave their towels, water bottle, etc. on another machine.
There's one lady who's there almost every morning when I am at 5:30 AM, walking on the treadmill with her laptop propped up. To make more room, she tosses her towel on the treadmill next to her and sometimes will have her water bottle in the other machine's cup holder because hers is holding her phone. There's another young woman who will put a towel and water bottle on an elliptical and treadmill to reserve them. She goes hard and fast on the elliptical, jumps off, jumps on the treadmill to do a cool down, then jumps off and goes back to pushing hard on the elliptical. I don't get it. |

People who leave weights on the floor. Pls rack your dumbells and strip your barbells of collars and plates and put everything back.
People who sweat all over equipment (cardio machines, weight benches, etc.) and just leave. Pls wipe it off. Yuck. And of course, the people who talk on their phones. |
I'm just embarrassed for you because you look like a tool. |
DP Really, this sounds like insecurity on your part. I don't wear makeup at the gym, but if you're really spending that devoting that much mental space to something that doesn't affect your workout at all, it sounds like you're stressing out at the gym instead of enjoying the endorphins exercise provides. |
Oh, I really don't spend much mental space at all on it. It's simply to myself, "wow she looks stupid" and then I move on. I really don't care that much about you. |
NP. I don't believe the makeup haters are in shape. |
