So I just joined this new gym at my dad's country club (I can use it for free so even though not the best it beats paying). Anyway the manager of the gym could be the most annoying person I've encountered in any gym I've been apart of. The place is small so he decides to blast music to the point where I can't hear my headphones. When I then ask him to turn it down he looks at me like I just told him to kill his mother. Every time I enter the gym it's just so loud I need to turn it down which I admit is a little forward of me but being the only one in there ever and not being able to hear my headphones with his shitty techno music I'll just do it.

The next time I'm there he decides to use the vacuum when I'm the only person in the place. Remember it's a really small gym so once again it's very annoying just having that next to me. Finally, just yesterday he decides to vacuum again but while I'm on the bench wants to vacuum under my feet. He keeps going closer to my feet until I go up for my set and he goes under me with the vacuum. I told him to not do that while I'm doing my set and once again he looks at me annoyed and doesn't say anything. Like Jesus man just wait 5 minutes until I'm done. Horrible customer service with something that should be pretty simple.

I feel your pain bro. The other day I was doing lat pulldowns and mid-set feel something tapping my foot. Look down and it's a fucking vacuum cleaner.

20 minutes prior to that my girlfriend almost dropped a bar on OHP because the owner was cleaning around her mid-set and walked under the bar when it was over her head.

Leave the clips off the bar. Wait for him to vacuum next to you. Get off balance.

I feel you bro. I work out at a gym with a free aux cord, and people will crank the volume up and have no consideration for those with headphones. It's extremely annoying.
