Today I saw some guy on the tricep pushdown. He placed a bench right under the cable and attached a handle like you use for crossovers. Then he lies down on the bench with his head towards the pad, grabs the handle and proceeds to pump out these lying 1-arm reverse curls.
The worse part was when this PT comes over and says 'I like it. I like it a lot'. The guy says 'thanks', and the PT says 'Doing some stabilization work, eh? I like it.'

Well this PT is particularly buffoonish. He's one of those Mr. Helpers, always giving unsolicited advice, usually to women. Also wears this getup of spandex shorts, muscle shirt and doo rag (he's white, and old, about my age).
Kind of a pudgy guy too, and he's the one who told my wife she 'wouldn't have any knees in 10 years' if she squats that low.
Ya know, you reminded me. There's this other guy, pretty cut upper body but laughingly skinny legs, he wears this tight white tank top that he makes tighter by tieing a knot in the back of it, and always doing some funky pumping exercise. Anyway, I saw him get on a swiss ball but he situates himself such that he's bracing his legs against the inside of the preacher curl and starts doing some tricep extensions. Really odd to see.
So he spots my wife doing some cable woodchop things and starts engaging her in conversation about core this and core that and how he's working core now and how tight his abs feel. I dunno, the swiss ball has it's place but sometimes the core Nazi's get to me.

Done. He goes to the water fountain every few sets and leaves his ball there. Everybody know's it's his so they don't bother touching it. I'm gonna hop on the second he goes away and start doing some dumbell presses. "This is MY ball now."
I wish I could record that buttblaster guy, play back the tape and make him watch himself. He was wearing shorts too. No shame at all.

Will do. LOL. He has his name written on it too.
It's not a swiss ball, but I'd love to walk into the gym with one of these just to see the look on everyone's face:
