selfies in the locker room? Are you kidding me? And to add my SHOCK to the above home estion, do people really take "naked selfies" in locker rooms? I mean what you do in your home is your business, but a locker room, come on. I wish this was the worst of what they were doing naked. One day I'm in there sitting on the bench, crouched over a bit to lace up my shoes before hitting the gym floor. These 2 guys nearby are having a conversation about the previous night's NBA game and the guy nearest me is doing it completely naked. In the midst of this discussion he exclaims: "Omg, did you see that jumpshot?" and then proceeds to act it while less than a foot from my face. It only got worse from there. He then put one foot up on the bench where I'm sitting in a semi-Thinker pose with his junk staring me right in the face while he finishes this conversation. This kind of stuff is just one of many reasons why I am now building a home gym. Why are there mirrors in the gym?
The concept is that the mirrors help promote better form. If you're lifting alone there's no one there to tell you that you might be inadvertently bending your back on a deadlift or leaning forward on your squats.
Of course, bodybuilders also like to look at themselves so even if their form is perfect, they're going to spend a ton of time using that mirror.

There is Lynn, the walking gym fail video. I cannot imagine how, day after day Professor Lynn does not even refer to a Youtube video on how to do some of the machines he 'works out' on.

Dude, I'm giving you the naked stink eye because you just put your gym bag on my clothes, which I just put on the bench behind me so I can put them on in the correct order (usually underwear first). Please feel free to move down to an unused portion of the bench. However, if you'd rather not, I'll just glare at you until you're done with whatever you're doing.

The Pusher.
Today, I got visited by The Pusher. He came up and told me, OK one more set then your done. I did my set and started to set up for another set. The Pusher said he has got to go to class, so your done and its my turn, as I started the next set. During the set as he fumed, muttered and stomped around, I said you know if you weren't such an asshole, I'd have let you do your set but... You need to get to class now.
OK, so I'm The Jerk.

Pretty rude approach on his part. I assume that if he’d come and politely asked if he could work in you’d have let him (that’s pretty standard practice at the gyms I’ve used). But to tell you “you’re done”? WTF?

News flash: when you place a fully loaded barbell lengthwise on a weight bench, it's probably going to roll off and roll across the floor. You are SO lucky that the guy next to you wasn't under load at the time and was able to jump over it. It might have been good to apologize.

A guy on a stationary bike took 2 phone calls on speaker while riding, including one where he mentioned he was up to 94 rpms. No, not a youngster, but possibly a decade older than me. After his 2 calls, a fellow on a treadmill a couple down from me also took a call on speakerphone. I wanted to yell at each of them to "Take it outside".
