Wow, it certainly took long enough... I've been waiting... but I hate to disppoint you... no pics unless you can download from my brain the image I am desperately trying to erase from my head. You want proof, you'll have to wait and get it yourself. I'll give you the day and time (it was a Friday around 1:30 P.M.), but you'll have to find the place.
Trust me, it happened. If I'm going to make something up, or imagine something that didn't happen, I can assure you, that wouldn't be it :)

How about "I'm not gonna dry off in the shower guy" He always has two towels with him but he only uses them after he has dripped a puddle into the locker room and on the bench. He soaks the carpeting, and bench, then prince of a guy that he is leaves his used towles on the floor.

I hope this isn't ST heresy, but I found this article funny and it reminded me of this thread. Enjoy

I too had a run-in with "Naked-and-taking-too-much-time-putting-lotion-on" guy. I grabbed my stuff and changed at the next bench. But he doesn't hold a candle to one I never thought I'd see: I looked over to the sit-up mats at the gym and saw a woman doing crunches, on the phone (not that unusual, just stupid), with her f'n Bichon Frise snackdog on her damn lap. By the time I finished my first set, she was gone, and I forgot to ask at the desk if anyone had complained.
Of course, this is the same gym with the valet, so take with a grain of salt (24Hour fitness - Denver, University + 470).

I have to add:
1. Obnoxious voice girl who talk on the phone while on the stair climber. Everyone hears all her problems every day for at least an hour. This girl is in great shape, but the gossip and her voice is annoying.
2. The guy I named "Spicy". He is of middle-eastern or near-eastern decent. His clothes, his gym bag, this locker, and his body all reek of curry and old cooking oil. No matter where in the locker room I go, or which row of lockers I choose, in he walks and picks a locker right next to mine. I can't imagine what he smells like while he is actually exercising.

Being only 5'6" that would be especially disturbing to me, on so many levels!!!
I saw a new phemonon Saturday afternoon. Apparently this dude forgot to bring soap for the shower, so he loaded his hands up with the pink stuff from the sink. He was pounding that pump like ... well ... never mind what it was like.

Perhaps this is a university specific trend, but I have been quite amused lately by a large number of "Mystified and Obsessed with Fluxuating Body Weight College Guys." These guys come in from lifting or shooting hoops and then step on to the locker room scale while fully clothed and wearing their basketball shoes. This ritual is followed by loud, obscenity filled comments about how they weighed a pound more just an hour earlier and then begin a sullen vocal reminiscing about how they used to weigh 172lbs last summer, but now weigh only 169lbs! Is this some sort of reversed eating disorder?

WHY WHY WHY
do some guys think they have a license to come up to girls they don't know and give us advice about what we are doing?
I was just at the gym, very happy, minding my own business, ipod in ears, doing side raises off of the back extension equipment, when some random guy comes up to me and starts waving his hands at me. I take my ipod off, thinking he has something important to say, like the building is on fire, and he says, "I wouldn't do those if I were you. They'll thicken your waist. Those are the last exercises I would do for obliques." I am completely taken aback and don't know what to say at first, then somehow come up with the brilliant, "No they don't." He counters with "Yes they do" and I am thinking, do I really have to have an argument with some stranger? So I tell him I have masters and a doctoral degrees in an exercise related field, have been a competitive athlete for my entire life, and thank him for his concern for my girth, but really, I'm ok. However, being somewhat oversensitive, this ruins my night and I go home.
So shut up, guys who give unsolicited advice.

I'm pretty sure I saw a ~20 yo guy in a diaper the other day. Only caught it out of the corner of my eye and it took a while for my brain to process. I thought maybe there was a medical reason; but he seemed to have no shame as he was casually walking around the locker room, not that there is shame... oh wait, yes there is.

Not exclusive to winter time, but the guy who farts out loud during certain postures in yoga class. They don't call it Wind Removing Pose for nothing!

I don't switch pedals, but I do bring my own bike seat from home and spin in a trisuit. Unlike your example I am there an hour before class and an hour after spinning continously.
Our club has tons of towels I don't know why so many guys walk around hanging out. I heard the theory that you can prove you are straight, because you can walk around a locker room without a boner. Personally with all those ugly guys I can barely walk around the locker room without losing my lunch.
Swim - Bike - Run the rest is just clothing changes.

Haven't been to a gym in years, do all my workouts at home. Was on a business trip last week, went to run on the hotel gym treadmill. Noticed a guy doing some freeweights. Would do a set of shoulder flys, then go to the mirror, lift up his shirt and look at his abs. Then did a set of curls, back to the mirror to check his abs. Then I notice he goes to the ab machine. One you sit on and do crunches. Does two sets, goes to the mirror, pulls up the sleeve of his shirt and checks his biceps.
