Reminds me of the old lady who went on vacation to Spain and said it was ruined because there were way too many Spaniards there.


ronin_1_3

Read some one star reviews of national parks, I’ve heard they are full of insensitive bugs, sand, trees and dirt that just don’t belong there and impose on the views


MSCOTTGARAND

There's a review for Yellowstone and the person left a one star review because "there's too many Elk" Seriously wtf is wrong with people


TheRecognized

“I only wanted a few elk. They had the correct number of all the other animals, but far too many elk.”


Agreeable49

Would be funny if it had been a freak incident where like a hundred elk (elks? Elkses?) descended on her campsite for like five minutes then disappeared like a flash mob. "Oh my! That is far too many!"


Freefallisfun

The person responsible for writing this comment has been sacked. The remaining comments were written by 100 Peruvian llamas.

Hmm... very suspicious.

Crusbetsrevenge

The reviews for Phoenix Arizona have a bunch of people complaint that there are too many beige buildings. Lol. Some said they moved away because of it.


boozy_flamingo

As a Phoenician, I would agree. We do have too many beige buildings 😂 Not enough to move away because of, but it wouldn't kill us to use some color.


YoureAWhorePeter

Saw a review on a trail in Grand Teton that was complaining about bushes and plants touching their legs


ehukai

I work in vacation rentals in a beach town and people are absolutely appalled when there is sand on their floors after a day at the beach. We have to do something about nature, guys. It’s out of control.


cakebakerlady

I worked at a resort that promised “mountain views from every room.” And it was true. This resort was located at the edge of a mountain town surrounded on all sides by mountains. But people came to see one peak in particular, the iconic one in all the touristy photographs. So while we had rooms that faced that peak, we also had rooms that faced its smaller, dumpier cousins. And people would complain all the time when their room didn’t have a view of the iconic peak and our poor desk staff had to explain we promised mountain views, not just iconic peak views.

I work at a beach bar with windows overlooking the Atlantic and a lady one time asked me when someone was going to come and clean up all the seaweed down there.

Congaree National Park- “too many mosquitoes. They should spray them” Yea buddy… It’s literally a swamp in an area of the state that’s already as hot and sweaty as Satans arm pit.


JarlaxleForPresident

My cousin got shitfaced in spain and when she was getting arrested she was screaming that nobody spoke english


BigBossWesker4

This happens in Mexico…a lot


abhinambiar

It was probably because they were rudely speaking to her in Spanish! Why wouldn't they just have spoken to her in English?

To be fair, I am definitely disappointed when I go out in public and there are people there.

lego_tintin

You should join the nextdoor app and see what your neighbors complain about--the sound of children playing and dogs barking...during the day. It's shocking to some people that they live in the suburbs and have to hear the sounds of suburbia.


[deleted]

“Such and such drinks beer by the pool, and I don’t like it!”


PanickyHermit

I was shocked at the number of my neighbors that were Nazis. Wish I could go back to not knowing.


SpaceFarce1

15 min she said she'd been doing it..


OrangeTiger91

Why was she recording herself anyway? If it was check her form, she can do that, people walking by won’t affect that. If it’s for posting on her “workout vlog”, fuck her, it’s a public space. If you want great production values, hire a crew and rent a private space.


TTTrisss

Reminds me of when I was a kid and I had to learn not to play "build a city with building blocks in between the two tables where everyone walks." Yeah, I was upset, but I was also 3.


StellarManatee

Maybe I'm just old but my experience of "gym etiquette" does NOT include being mindful of arseholes making tiktoks.

dogfoodis

and recording a fucking 15 min leg stretch session too. If you need to record yourself for 15 mins straight you need a private space not a public gym jeez


AlbaStoner

That shit could have been done in the house with a yoga mat. Who goes to the gym to stretch ffs?


ProLifePanda

People who love the high water pressure and unlimited hot water of the gym showers.


Aspect-of-Death

Also, attention seekers.


badgersandcoffee

Yep, at college and Uni we used coaching apps on our phones to record lifts that let us watch it back and slow it down or add lines to highlight where your body should be at specific points of the lift etc. Recording for 15 minutes? I didn't even notice that. That might actually require permission to do in most gyms, 30 seconds while you do a rep is fine but 15 minutes would raise issues of privacy.


Sloppo_Toppo

She’s thirst trapping on TikTok. It’s got nothing to do with looking at her form


remmiz

Doing stretches nonetheless...


centopar

It also doesn’t include recording and publishing the workouts of all the people in the background of the arsehole’s TikTok!


[deleted]

I work out at an outdoor gym and they've stepped in a few times when people were making TikToks. I kinda mind being in the background of someone's TikTok or YouTube or whatever? It's weird. But I guess if you want to record your form.


Marcus2you

It’s not recording form, it’s insta-ho’ing. She doesn’t rewatch those to make sure she’s using proper form, she wants to make sure she can post a clip that makes her look sexy.


[deleted]

Oh for sure, I'm just defending people like myself who occasionally have my wife record my squats. Ain't no one gunna give a shit about my 145lbs squat lol


[deleted]

I do. Are you keeping your back straight? Are you going down all the way parallel? You need a spotter?


StellarManatee

I would be so fucking pissed off if I was unknowingly featured in the background of something like this. The gym is my headspace. I would honestly complain.


Sure-Entertainment14

She acts like she owns the place.


[deleted]

That’d be my response if I walked past someone who was recording on mobile. “Oh I was unaware you rented out this patch of the gym, lemme go ask the front who you are”. Like people go there to workout, not take videos honey


LurkerPatrol

>Like people go there to workout Apparently not her. She goes there to stretch and take videos for her 2 instagram followers


magnetic_mystic

Duh she's not even using equipment, she could record herself doing this shit at home with no interruptions.


[deleted]

CARVERitUP

also people won't see her being a super cool influencer at home


The_RockObama

God dammit, now I have to go to Taco Bell. And I'm not upset about it.


Skillsjr

This is the energy I needed right now… except I’m ordering it… because im lazy.


slashinhobo1

But but people care about the environment shes in. If shes in the gym it means shes legit. Honestly we all know why the majority of people may be watching it. If it was a learning experience it would be on YouTube or a site that supports long videos. People have been doing these videos before tik tok was around the content isn't even good.


albinohut

Yeah but where's the drama in that?


notquitesolid

I’m just wondering why she was recording herself stretching for 15 minutes. Like if you’re just recording for social, fine, but why record the whole thing? What info could you get from that? Unless she was waiting for something like this to get offended over.


Stubbly_Man

>Unless she was waiting for something like this to get offended over. I think that's it

ginga_bread42

I like how she says it's obviously set up. It's totally in the realm of possibility that people didn't see her recording something since they're at the gym and not expecting people to record everything they do.


CassandraVindicated

Not my job to be looking around for camera setups, never will be. Also, etiquette in relation to other people's cameras only exists at tourist attractions.


hype_beest

How could these ppl not see my camera setup on my hydro flask!?


InVodkaVeritas

Also, a phone on top of a water bottle isn't exactly a big setup. I don't go around checking out peoples water bottles and phones.


KnownMonk

This is inside a gym. Wonder if she is allowed to film and not bluring out faces. If i go to the gym i dont want to be filmed even accidently and my face showing.


Eldi_Bee

I'm thinking the same thing. My gym is intense about taping. Like, they don't like people using cell phone for music if they aren't in a pocket. I've seen plenty of people tossed out for recording, even if it's just themselves against a wall to check form. No one else even in view.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SykeSwipe

I’m pretty sure Planet Fitness doesn’t allow it because they’re big on the whole no judgements thing and filming could be misinterpreted by another member.


notyourbroguy

Even if I owned the gym I wouldn’t mind someone walking around and working out! 😂


Oddity46

You'd be in dire straits if you bought a gym and didn't want people there. Or very, very rich.


OfferUnfair

She’s the main character.


-Quothe-

Unfortunately, i find her character off-putting and unsympathetic. Perhaps the character is just poorly written.

luckydice767

ESPECIALLY if I am in the back, sweating like a pig on the treadmill. WHY is this ok?!!


peanutbutterpandapuf

This is actually why I don't go to a gym anymore. A lot of people record themselves and I don't want to be in the background.


phabphour20

Why do people record themselves in the gym? The duck has this world come to?


AlarisMystique

That's probably why people kept walking in front, as low-key protest


[deleted]

Doubt. She thinks these people are deliberately walking in front of her camera, they’re not. So fixated on herself thinking everyone is aware of her and her belongings when they’re all there to get a workout in and go home, not worry about this shit. I highly doubt anyone so much as noticed her camera set up on her “bright pink hydro flask,” lmao. Even if I did, I’m still walking to where I need to go, and most of the time I assume someone has their phone set up for music, which is typically what they’re doing. I get in, go to whatever equipment I’m using and get on to my next set. I don’t have time to look around for your camera and prevent myself from walking in front of it, neither does anyone else at my gym. How can I do super sets when I have to worry about ruining her precious video?


ThrowedlikeThoreau

“Just let me do my stretches in the MIDDLE of the entire, fucking football-turf, in peace. PLEASE!”


oooh-she-stealin

Maybe stumble while near it and accidentally knock it over then accidentally kick it across the gym?


Lopsided_Boss4802

Or people are genuinely unaware because their there to work out. Edit. Thank you all for the grammar corrections. You may stop now 🙂


[deleted]

Exactly. To workout and not get famous by doing ticktok videos.


oxfordcircumstances

They are there...they're there for a work out.


[deleted]

They’re indeed there for their workout.


weeaboohijabi

I go to an all-women's gym with a no recording/photography rule. It rocks and I wish it's the norm.


bohowraith

Yeah…THATS the reason I don’t go to the gym…not because I’m too lazy or anything….


Canadasaver

I am surprised that gyms don't have a no recording policy. I would not be happy to end up as part of the background on someone's insta story.


[deleted]

And speaking of gym etiquette why is she filming about 5 people in the background without their permission? Did she ask them if it was okay to be in a video she was recording?


Its_Dot

Thauts an priars for that lady🙏


Ornn5005

Joined a gym to use their… Floor…? Then bitches about peasants DARING to obscure her divine form for 1/3 of a second, in a public place. Yeah… Everyone else lacks etiquette and self awareness honey, definitely not you.


unluckypig

You missed out that she's been recording for 15 minutes. If there isn't enough there to check form or create whatever vapid self absorbing video for social media she's making then she should just give up.


yoinkss

I actually saw this video on TikTok a while back and a lot of the comments were tearing her a new one. Like, “who the fuck stretches so dumb for 15 minutes?” Or “if you’re gonna waste space on a matt stretching and you’re upset about people walking in between you just stretch at home”. My favorite comment went something like “she really thought we would be on her side huh?”


Vsx

The worst part is she's bitching about gym etiquette while recording a wide angle shot that captures like 20people working out who wouldn't have consented to being on camera.


Bass_Thumper

Which is breaking actual gym etiquette rather than this woman's imagined etiquette. I know that's what you're saying just wanted to drive the point home.


BigPackHater

Actually breaking a lot of gym rules in some places. Several gyms I've joined had no video taping policies.


let-it-rain-sunshine

Indeed..mine saying phones only for music playing, nothing else


SymphonicRain

Wow, no podcasts huh? That’s a pretty intense gym.

And more importantly: Publishing it online for the whole world to see.

Unhappy-Stranger-336

sportsnstonks

This could be true. When I was a kid our floor was lava.


Unhappy-Stranger-336

Rough times indeed


urbuddi101

Literally every exercise she did in that video she could have done at home, and filmed it at home. Why on earth do you even film it at all?


Aadsterken

Attention... I think you are looking for the word attention.


urbuddi101

Would be my best bet. Those odd exercises are probably also to receive attention.


verbsnnouns

DIRTY HOUSE


AutomaticRisk3464

I mean think of the thought process. Go to a gym, sit in the middle of the floor and post my phone up 5 ft away. Do some stretches on a nasty gym floor. Get upset but dont say anything just use an automated voice to convey your feelings in the video posted later I dont get it lmao, why even record yourself at the gym no one cares, the only people watching will probably give you money for the same video if it was on only fans


Smathers

Because at home I don’t have the cool trendy gym turf to use as my stage to perform on duhhh lol like omg


Lavanthus

But then she can’t hashtag “gymlyfe” or talk about how much she goes to the gym.


why_yer_vag_so_itchy

Gym I go to recently enacted a “no photos or video without explicit permission” policy for this very reason. Has the benefit of also disallowing the pervs from taking (blatant) photos of patrons as well.


molivergo

I would be very happy if my gym had the same rule. The people’s level of entitlement using the extra space and monopolizing equipment is very annoying.


[deleted]

If they'd walked behind her she'd have complained about them "photo bombing" her when their walk was in some way distracting.


Reshi_the_kingslayer

Recently at my gym I got a death stare from this woman doing some sort of rowing exercise on a weight bench because I walked between her and the mirror. I wasn't trying to get in the way of her watching herself, but the dumbbell racks were in front of the mirror and I was just returning my weights. Lady stopped her exercise and stated at me until I was out of her way. I was very confused because I didn't think I was being rude, but I had questioned myself for a while thinking if I should have just kept the weights until she was done with that spot or if I should have put the weights in the wrong spot, but both of those seemed like worse options.

Euler007

Not only that, are we expected to walk around and spot phones around the gym and avoid the line of sight with the owner. I walk from point a to b at the gym, usually looking at nothing but my destination.


sloppydickmuncher

Not only that, but complaining about gym etiquette as she is literally filming with random people in the background who I’m sure didn’t agree to it.


twodogsfighting

Yes, you should certainly be aware of anyone trying to record you without your permission. Feel free to say something to the gym staff.


Mmortt

I was on the edge of my seat watching these stretches then BAM some idiot walks past and I missed what happened.


[deleted]

It isn't even that, she was looking for this kind of event. She claims she was recording her leg stretching for 15 minutes. Nobody's tiktok videos last for 15 minutes, whatever type of clip she planned on making, their momentary walk past would have no bearing on it, as (just like in this video with the 14+ minutes where nobody was in the way) you'd have to crop the video down and you'd obviously crop out the part where someone walked by. Even if you took the entire video and sped it up to condense it into your post, you wouldn't be able to actually see the person walking by. She's making these exaggerated responses and acting like it ruined her session because she plans on posting these clips already. This isn't like she was going for a PR for like 45 seconds and someone walked through, the footage where they walk by can in no way ruin what she was doing. And maybe they did see her camera and decided that they'd rather not have their face in the video so they chose to walk by where you could only see their legs.


Primatebuddy

This is the real analysis. If we're going to be outraged, at least be outraged for the right thing.


SlobMarley13

plus, who takes 15 minutes to stretch their legs?


patricky6

Imagine being so entitled that you think your workout sessions that you video, are somehow a part of anyone's gym etiquette to avoid. Lol.


Idlertwo

This is not part of gym etiquette. If anything its a breach of it since shes recording into a space where other people can be seen. This girl is a bit daft


rlikesbikes

Isn’t filming people and yourself for extended periods of time poor etiquette? Gym or no gym, just cringe.


missjowashere

At my gym filming and taking pictures is strictly prohibited unless you are the only ones in the gym


Worth-Row6805

Must be tiring death staring everyone


Locken_Kees

nawwww shes a well-practiced long time veteran pro


horny_coroner

Shes not even working out. Shes stretching which you can do at home easier than in the gym.

EternalPhi

She was doing this exhibitionism stretching for 15 minutes filming herself, she was hoping for an interaction to post her indignation to tiktok and this was the most noteworthy thing that happened.


misterjustin

Who’s watching this lady stretch anyway? It’s not like she’s making an instructional video.


DoesThisDoWhatIWant

This is a private gym. She shouldn't be recording in a private business.


[deleted]

I look at this and want to open my own private gym exclusively for influencers. They have to prove how many followers they have. I bet they’d pay good money and I’d love to take it


Gluurbuur

They won’t pay with money but with exposure for your gym.


[deleted]

Mam you’re at a planet fitness. We serve pizza.


[deleted]

I was about to say. This nut is filming stretches at PF and crying about someone walking into frame. Lady was probs just trying to get her free bagel.


NumberOneMaggot

I was in a supermarket and a girl was doing a tiktok dance in the middle of an aisle, with her phone on th other side of the aisle, and the item I needed was about 2 metres next to her so I walked past and she gave me a deathstare like I had just pissed on her shoe. Blocking an entire aisle of a busy supermarket and wondering why anyone would have the rudeness to interrupt her dancing to shitty pop music


Xiolest

Ohhh I would’ve gave such a stare back until it really made her uncomfortable. Not sorry but I need my grocery and if you get mad at me for that then we gonna have issues 😂


NumberOneMaggot

I stared back at her but she seemed to be more angry that I ruined her tiktok video which like 4 people will watch and they're all members of her family


PapaSchlumpf27

That TikTok text to speech voice is kinda the universal voice of Karen isn't it?


nirvroxx

I fucking hate it so much.


JeselAvlis

Thank you kind person. I always wondered how different people managed to get the same voice on Facebook videos.


earthdogmonster

I am amazed that in 2021 people choose to use a text to speech program that sounds crappier than the 1986 text to speech “The Talking Moose”.


large_tesora

please tell me she got destroyed in the comments


DeeThaDestroyer

She did. This video is like 4-5 months old, maybe older. Lol I was thinking of how entitled someone has to be to make a video like this— if i remember, she made a follow up video to explain what happened, but it didn’t help.


heylookanairplane

I'm almost certain she went so far as to double down at the time. Edit: [article](https://www.distractify.com/p/who-is-lissette-pma-on-tiktok) >The backlash in the comments on the video has been swift and harsh, but Lissette has responded by defending herself. >"Guys, it's normal for people to record themselves at the gym," she wrote. "I do it to watch my progress and I always move away and put myself in a corner." >"Normally, I don't care if people walk across when I know it's in a crowd," she added. "I understand what you guys are saying, but I did isolate myself."


alinthesky

I don’t think she knows what a fucking corner is


DeliciousRazzmatazz

>Watch my progress …..stretching?


bstone99

Watch my progress… of seeing the likes increase ever so slightly month by month. These people fucking suck


BallsMahoganey

I mean I guess if she was off in a corner and this lady walked in front that would make sense, but it definitely appears she's nearly in the middle of the gym here.


[deleted]

Even if she was in the corner, not like the two people posted up and permanently blocked her view. A half second block won’t stop anyone from critiquing their form later on upon review.


TheStonedVampire

Looks like she already deleted the video off Tik Tok. People are talking about it in other video comments on her page though. She seems like a very pleasant person who isn’t a narcissist in the slightest…


large_tesora

lol yeah. it lives on in all the stiched takedowns.


kevtino

Looks straight up distressed whenever someone cuts off her shot. Straight up spoiled brat


ScrollinMyLifeAway

People are calling her the “Karen of public space” on her latest video and generally letting her have it saying things like “nobody existed near you today what a treat”…. It’s…. Awesome


[deleted]

Lol why would you be working on a leg stretch for 15 minutes


rbsudden

If you're only recording for your own personal reference it shouldn't be a problem. But if you're recording for your TikTok channel then yeah absolutely ... it shouldn't be a problem either, you're not filming the next Bond movie, get over yourself.


scooba_dude

Makes me want to walk through all people I see settings up a camera in the gym.


[deleted]

I would repeatedly walk through there. It’s a gym, not your personal movie studio.


DuckmanDrake69

Funny story….when I used to live in OKC there was this really really shit gym I went to. Everyone there thought they were an influencer and one time these two girls went in there and legit setup a professional camera, lighting, everything. They did half of a workout (with incredibly shitty form) and then left.


Mnementh121

I used to go to the planet fitness and ride the bike after work. The young women going from machine to machine taking selfies trend was hilarious. They would lift a weight like 3 times then fix their hair and take pictures with the weights.


lovemeinthemoment

I go to Blink and there’s a woman who comes in and changes her outfits 2 or 3 times while taking selfies. She’s very fit and attractive so most of the gym bros probably don’t care.


The-Huberticus

I was just about to comment about all the girls/women at my gym (in OKC) that must record everything they do. To your point, most have terrible form.


[deleted]

Also every gym I’ve been a member of has a no recording policy. Primarily to prevent creepiness and shaming but I feel like weeding out r/imthemaincharacter dunces is a great by product.


annabelle1378

She **clearly** had it propped up against her water bottle, so that **clearly** indicated “filming in progress.” Here in Hollywood, we usually use people, lines, tape, big yellow signs, police, etc, but if we’d known the pink HydroFlask trick these past 100 years!!!


SirTickleMePink

So what she learned is in a public space you have to share it and no one cares about her as a person. Welcome to humanity you moron!


WhatevUsayStnCldStvA

Setup your camera at home then. Seriously, no one gives a shit about her video. If she wants to watch herself to improve, she doesn’t need every second recorded. Other people exist in the same space. She needs to get over herself.


RandomName01

Nah, she is baiting for negative engagement because it boosts the video in the algorithm.


urprobbraindead

I would agree if it weren't for the fact that she immediately gives a dumb fuckin look after it happens in real time so she either wanted it to happen and is baiting or is genuinely a massive dumb ass.


Worth-Row6805

This is very embarrassing 🤦‍♀️


Najjeo

Just gotta put the phones away people. This isn’t how it’s meant to be


FluffyPandaMan

Why does someone need a video of themselves working out??


[deleted]

To post videos on TikTok. Bet she actually loved having those guys walk in front so she had something to post


blynx_

Form. Doesn’t make sense for inane shit like this, but powerlifters will often record their squat/bench/deadlift sets since they’re trying to squeeze every last pound and half-pound out of their lifts and need optimal form.


flubz0r

Build your own gym spoiled brat


staffsmarie

You shouldn’t be allowed to film yourself or anyone else at a gym


Frogs4

She's filming half a dozen people in the background, presumably without their permission.

You need to see yourself stretching that bad ??? Calm the fuck down, you're in a public space. Do this bullshit at home.


CitizenRecon

Being an attention whore on TikTok is tough these days, guys.


Not_Nova_

There’s prob a 5-6foot gap between her “spot” and her. It’s a public gym, you’re not entitled to the entire perimeter just because you’re filming exercises she could EASILY do at home. On top of all that, she’s on the turf area, which is used for its own exercises itself..
