It's one thing for women to get in the gym, throwing 12 pound dumbbells and spewing nonsense about "toning up." But when guys come in, usually wearing a wife-beater or tight white undershirt showing off their soft body, chronically throw on 20% more weight than they should rightly handle, and use terrible form to lift it a few times, moving haphazardly through a completely improvised schedule consisting of a few bicep curls, some flat bench, and oh hell, why not some calf raises-- it pisses me off is what I'm saying.
I have nothing against people who don't work out often, aren't strong, or don't know proper form. But before you even step in the gym, get your shit together. Go with someone who does know what they're doing. I guarantee you know someone and I guarantee they don't mind.
No more trying to clean your curls up. No more leg pressing your calf raises. No more bouncing the bar off your chest. Who the fuck are you cheating? So the more experienced guys in the gym are seeing you bench 165 badly instead of 145 with decent form. Dude, they're all benching 250 and don't give a shit because they've moved on to bigger and better things.
Not a day goes by that someone in the gym doesn't piss me off with their ignorance and unwillingness to correct it.
