I do everything in the power rack. Mo one uses it besides me and the guy I train with.

There's worse. Someone can be doing barbell curls in the squat rack.

Oh why'd you have to bring that up; people who do curls at the squat rack piss me off to no end

nobody in my gym squats and we have 3 racks. where else am i gonna straight bar curl 155 lol. but i only do heavy straight bar like every other week. I doubt anyone would say to get out of the squat rack because usually prior to my curls i was jus squating 495+

you are in a tough situation down there in west palm. its always gonna be packed at the gym and people are gonna hog the machines.

it would drive me crazy to have to wait for a machine if someone was fiddling with their phone. i've experienced people leave their clothes or water bottle on a machine (and they dont even intend to use it) also and use another machine

i agree with the poster above that phones shouldn't be brought into the gym. if you cant go an hour without the phone on your hip then you have a nagging wife/gf or you are addicted to your job. leave it in the car!

Some people are rude and inconsiderate, and just into themselves. If you call them on it, they'll have no idea what you're talking about, and they'll make you the bad guy for it somehow. Last night, I was driving back to Los Angeles from Phoenix, and stopped for fuel in the desert. There were plenty of gas pumps available, but only two Diesel pumps. BOTH were occupied by A**HOLES. One was a van with a trailer, where they got a couple gallons of Diesel, then decided to unload and reload the van in the gas station. The other pump had an Audi convertible (GAS powered) parked and unattended. I sat politely idling behind the Audi for at least 15 minutes, and finally my Irish part got annoyed and I went in and asked to have the owner paged (still politely). Then about 5 minutes later, a little mideastern-looking punk (about 18) comes slowly waddling out with his iPhone stuck on his ear, and he just looked at me (no apology, nothing). I gave him a Redneck stare as he drove away, and I got my fuel.

It's people like that who will sit on a machine or the bench at the gym, and not have any idea that there's another breathing human being on the entire planet, let alone who might be waiting to use the bench.

OMG - we do that drive ALL the time......and the Loves in Indio is the WORST for a-holes hogging the deisel pumps!! First exit (heading West) in Quartzsite - little mom n pop gas station on the right hand side.....is the best! Great subs, too!

i accidently filled up at the diesel pump while the other one was already being used. i was about half way done and a truck pulled up behind me. but instead of being an ahole i waved and mouthed sorry to him and he nodded and was cool with it.
