Singing in the gym... Do, Ra, Me, Fa, So, La, Te... BLAH BLAH BLAH

ad

Curious if anyone else out there has to contend with annoying people in your gym that appear like they're complete lobotomized 'tards singing or talking to themselves in between or during weight sets?

I've got a mother / daughter duo that sing together like entwined melodies from a bad dumpster leftover from the 1970's. I'm talking like Elton John and Dianna Ross shit! I mean, their musical tone and pitch is bad enough, not to mention the sappy romance tinged themes... BUT IT'S AT FUCKING 5:30 IN THE MORNING!

I mean, how do you drop a not so subtle hint that they are literally destroying the fabric of your soul by the rotten musical sounds they emit in tandem?

I am on the verge of transferring gyms because of this. What started out as tragic comedy from two cackling hens has become sheer agony...

Put on your beats and start singing this at the top of your lungs like you're listening to it.

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad.

Hum loudly to the tune for a bit here then pick up the lyrics again

Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear

Just sing, sing a song.

Then make up your own Scatman noises until they go home.

EDIT: FYI because of your age you might not know this is the song "Sing" by the Carpenters (circa 1970's)

Once they start singing you should start dancing. Then if they see you dancing around everytime they start singing they may stop because they don't like your dancing. Will probably only work if you are a shitty dancer though.

Just take the bar they are squatting with a curl it in the squat rack.
If they are using a machine as to work in and never get up. Sweat on it if possible.
Ask them to video your sets. Do a 10 drop dropset for 100 reps taking at least 10minutes. Ensure they do not stop recording.
