The Rudest Things You Can Do at the Gym, According to Reddit

Weve probably all made a gym faux pas at some point.

But most of us can master the basics of gym etiquette pretty quickly.

Here are redditors reports of the worst behavior of their fellow gym-goers, given in places like r/FitnesssRant Wednesday.

Wearing body glitter

You want to wear makeup when you work out?

Have fun, knock yourself out.

But we have todraw the lineat bodily adornments that youre going to leave behind for others to pick up.

My most frustrating and bizarre gym experience to date.

Got to love people.

Smoking pot in a shower stall.

Yes, it happened a few months ago.

Weve all forgotten a dumbbell or a change plate somewhere.

But then there are folks likethis:

Two older guys benching in the rack next to me yesterday.
