Re: Pet Peeves?
Have you got a mobile yet? my number gets slammed with cold calls. Constantly. I'm 90% sure the previous owner of my number still uses it when not wanting to give his real one.
I got *lots* of calls from the San Diego area of late, so I might have to plan a little trip out there to 'deal with' the situation

Re: Pet Peeves?
Our local Wallymart is in a fairly upmarket area and I've figured out that if I park at the far end of the carpark I can at least settle for the consolation prize if I don't see any 'people of Walmart'. The local gym usually has some fit underdressed ladies making their way to and fro...

Re: Pet Peeves?
I'm obviously not a perv..... but used to choose machines at the back of the room so I could observe the landscape, not be part of the landscape.
That being said, my gym used to have movies you could watch on the gym kit (or an iphone/ipad dock), so I'd usually be watching something to take my mind of the fact I was doing exercise. Then go to the pool.

Did you forget to disable the flash on your camera phone?

One day I may actually visit.

Seriously though, machines with TV's are wonderful. I got on one of the exercise bikes hoping to last 30 mins, saw Beetlejuice was on and that was that. Great workout, next morning - not so great.

There was a guy with a camera at our local pool taking pics and nobody was concerned when I raised it with staff.

Re: Pet Peeves?
I don't think I've posted anything close to serious on this forum thus far 
,
I was merely expanding on your narrative
(TL;DR: Yes)
In my teens, one of my many jobs I had involved working at an indoor pool complex and there was a viewing area with signs *everywhere* saying no pics. If someone wanted to take legit photos, alot of paperwork was involved. Then the happy camper got to wear a sticker on his/her chest saying 'PHOTO APPROVED'.
Despite all that, most people just took photos with little to no issue. Was all a huge legal thing.

But I do have a swimming peeve with the old people that insist on hogging the toddler pool.

The high-dive was another pee 'hot' spot. It was grim. Oh the sights I've seen.
