Nobody is perfect. If you believe you are, well you’re lying my friend, and that right there is a fault! With that being said, everyone does a bad thing every once in a while. A new survey from Fitness Magazine and Yahoo! Shine reveals what men and women lie about, their worst vices and their biggest pet peeves. Let’s see what they found.
Pet Peeves in the Work Place
Are you working? If so, I’m sure there is at least one thing a co-worker does that annoys the heck out of you. In fact, according to the survey, 79% of employees have job-related pet peeves.

Women’s #1 Pet Peeve: 41% say a coworker who steals credit for your ideas is the worst.

-
A coworker who eats stinky food- 12%
Gym Manners
Now let’s talk about the gym. My personal pet peeve is when people make really loud noises while working out; aka grunters. It makes me feel so awkward! According to the survey both men and women get annoyed when people do not wipe down the machines after they are done using them. That’s not just annoying, that’s nasty!
Overall, 88% of gym-goers stated they hate when:
-
People who don’t wipe down the machines- 44%
-
People talk loudly on their cell phones- 40%

People hog a machine- 32%

They get hit on- 13%
Diet Crimes
We are a society that is obsessed with diets. What are our worst diet crimes?
According to the survey, “Adults are just as likely to cheat on their diets as they are to skip a workout (34% vs. 33%). Men and women agree that binge eating is their biggest diet crime, with the guys edging out the ladies 34% to 32%.”
Overall, 66% of dieters admit to committing one of these crimes:
-
Binge eating- 33%
-
Hiding food from others in order to eat it yourself- 14%
-
Starving yourself before a big event- 11%
-
Taking diet pills- 8%
Men and women's worst vices
Last but not least, we are moving onto our worst vices. What do men and women perceive as their worst faults?
According to the survey, 55% of adults admitted to having a vice with ‘smoking’ at No. #1 (24%), but men and women differ on what they consider to be their worst habits.
-
Women’s #1 Vice: 25% said binge eating, compared to only 18% of men
-
Men’s #1 Vice: 25% said smoking
When it comes to alcohol, men were more likely to name drinking as a vice (13%) compared to women (7%). Younger adults (ages 18-34) are the most likely to give in to vices.
What other “bad things” did people admit to? I found it pretty upsetting that people were more likely to cheat on their partner than their hair stylist. Come one, really people?
