Pet peeves while training (Page 3)

Definetly the dumb *** comments from people while I'm running get me.  The dumbest one was, "Hey you dropped your wallet".  My retort was, "why don't you drop your pot belly".

The last 2 days I've encountered a new one.  In order to add time to my morning run, I now go an extra 2 blocks.  This takes me to a sidewalk where some Navy shipyard types are coming from the parking lot to work.  Normal sidewalk.  They are either looking at their feet (are they new?) or just keep walking 2 abreast forcing me on the easment or into trees.  Then they look at me like, "what?"

I'm really courteous in the pool 99% of the time.  Like Tuesday, a dad and his daughter (1-2 yr old)  were doing "laps".  I didn't have a problem with it.  I even slowed down when I passed them so that I wouldn't splash too much water.  But then you get the kids in the "general" area that decide to either swim across your lane and INTO you or keep tossing their water noodle or balls into your lane and expect you to toss it back to them each time.  The first time I do it because it could be an accident.  After the third time, I tossed it onto the pool deck on the OTHER side of them.

My biggest pet peeve, I would say, is  when things aren't open according to schedule. If I go swimming at lunch, I have a very finite amount of time to do. If the lanes are suppose to be open at 1, and don't open till 1:30, that pretty much kills my workout right there. Booo hisss.

I didn't really have anything until this morning.  When I'm behind on my workouts for the week and get up early to have a big workout morning and get to the gym and it's closed for remodeling. 

So they've had a sign up in the lobby for three weeks, who looks at it after a day?  So they had a stack of flyers by the front desk and posted all over with the closed dates, who reads when they're in a hurry to work out?  So they had someone call and leave a voice mail on every member's home number outlining the dates they would be closed two weeks ago, who writes this stuff down?  Who do they think they are wrecking my workout schedule like that?  I'm so ticked.

Man, I had forgotten about that.......the gas attack. Surprisingly at my "Y" it's the oldsters who are there for PT (the hospital has a PT group that uses the treadmills) that are the worst offenders, particularly the Old Spice wearing men. I have actually had to stop a treadmill workout so that I didn't spew all over the gym

Damn a bunch of perfume

He, he.

I don't like it when I ride/run at the greenway, and someone who's walking in the middle has their ipod/mp3 player turned up so loud that when I say "on the left" they don't even hear me.  Or how about the people talking on their cell phones and don't hear me say "on your left" becuase they're so engrossed in such a dramatic phone conversation they're in their own little world?  C'mon people- why in the world do you have to walk right down the middle?  Ever heard about keeping to the right??

I get annoyed when vehicles give me too much berth. Alright I can appreciate a few feet, but really, I don't need a whole friggin' lane of room.  Most cars can safely pass a cyclist w/o crossing the median. When they go entirly into the next lane it bugs me.
