Weirdos
The most disturbing thing that's happened to me in a gym was when I walked into the changing rooms after a session and there was a guy, stark naked, standing on a towel, staring at himself in the mirror. I don't mean he was flexing and checking himself out, I mean he was glaring at himself with a look of hatred that you wouldn't give your worst enemy. He was staring so intently, I'm not sure if he knew I was there. It really creeped me out.

So, I chucked my clothes in the locker, grabbed my towel and went into the showers as quickly as possible. The guy had the look of a psychopath and I didn't want to be in the same room as him, so I had a leisurely 20 minute shower thinking that he'd be gone by the time I finished. He was still there when I got back. He hadn't moved an inch. He was still totally naked. Still standing on his towel. He looked like he wanted to kill the person in the mirror. He didn't move the entire time it took me to get dressed. He didn't even move when I had to stand in front of him to do my hair. He was still there when I left. I never went back to that gym. He might still be there.

For completeness, other notable mentions include:

The guy show dried his balls with a hairdryer.
The old guy who shook his arms around like he was having an epileptic fit while holding onto a couple of dumbbells.
The drug dealer who tried to do business out of the changing rooms.
The SAS fantasist who kept trying to start a conversation about how he completed the SAS entry tests.
The old gay guy who thought that the changing rooms was a good place to pull.

Do I get bonus points for lurkage?

Bonus points....
... so long as you've not been spending 2 years stock-still glaring at yourself naked.
