Obnoxious gym habits

There's nothing worse than going to the gym to work out and running into someone doing something obnoxious, or indecent, there next to you. Newsweek.com reported recently on the nine worst habits of people who use gyms, without regard to the people around them:

A synopsis:
1. Using the sauna heater to heat your food.
2. Walking through the gym nude.
3. Using the blow dryers to dry your shoes (yuck!).
4. Not wearing underwear to group exercise class, like yoga.
5. Falling asleep in the tanning bed, or on the bench press.
6. Singing out loud to the music in your headphones.
7. Talking on your cell phone, loudly.
8. Not wiping your sweat off machines after you use them.
9. Fighting. Gyms are high-testosterone areas.
There are many, many more annoying things that people do in gyms, but these are probably the worst (especially No. 8 and 6). The gym is like any other public place, and should be thought of that way. A little common courtesy goes a long way!
