I was doing squats in the squat rack and this guy comes and asks me how many sets left, I say 2 but you can work in if you want. He says no and stands like 3 feet away....so hurry my last 2 sets a little, then start taking the plates off and he takes the plates of on his side and puts a 10 lb plate on. I say you gonna do curls and he said yeah......i look at him and smile and shake my head and walk away.

I can't stand when someone doesn't unrack there weights.

I always leave one 45 on each side at the deadlift station in our gym. If I don't, the bar just sits on the floor and it's harder to put on the weight. Besides, the only people that go over there start out with at least that amount of weight on the bar.

Most gyms are full of idoits who sit in the machines or on the benches between sets.

They assusme that they own that piece of equipment utill they have done all of their sets. They think if they get up from the seat then they will conceded that item to another selfish ignorant person who won't get up!

SO they sit there and let the blood pool in their muscles, not able to stretch or breathe deeply. They screw their own workouts as much as they do everyone elses.

No one uses the flat bench until I finish all 14 of my fuckin sets!! OR ILL KILL ALL THAT SHIT!!

One complete IDIOT:

Few years back, I'm looking to finish chest with one (I was doing HIT) set of pec dec, and needed to do it quickly so I could get the workout done to schedule (under 45mins).
A 6'4" 250 guy in his thirties was on the pec dec, for about 10 mins (I'd been monitoring from afar, knowing what the place was like). The dude was sitting in the machine between all of his sets, never got up for 10 mins. So I walked over and pleasantly asked if he had many sets left.

"FIVE" he said with a quick glare.

"Um, OK." I replied, "Do you mind if I work in with you?"

"FIVE!" He said again, louder like I hadn't heard him.

"SO you want me to wait untill you've done five more sets? Or can I use it between your..."

"FIVE! FIVE! FIVE!" he barked.

I blinked. Confused, I was beginning to wonder if he spoke English.

"LOOK!" he said. "Get outta my face, I dont come over and bother you when you're working out so you don't bother me."

I told him he had an attitude problem and walked away, stretching my chest and wondering what to do instead of the pec dec. Then I see the fuck-head out of the corner of my eye, do five quick reps, get up and walk away!!!
