Why do people in the gym use machines for a purpose they weren't intended for?

Currently trying to get in a workout. Flying through sets, then two baws walk in. I can already tell from the look on their faces that they aren't the most intelligent baws out there. Anyway finish what I'm doing, try to move on to the next set, and these two baws have pulled a bench near the row machine and use the bench and the bench on the row machine to do dips, when their is a machine specifically for dips 4 feet to the left. Another baw walks in and begins doing bench press in the squat rack when their is a bench specifically for bench.

Tl:dr
Anyone who signs up for a gym membership should be required to take a class on what each machine and area is designed for

Stop being mad they look better than you. If you actually worked hard, you too could pull off affliction shirts and flat bills

Why do people use there, their, and they're for a purpose for which they're not intended?

Top guy might being doing some sort of rehab with the assisted dip/pull up pad. Bottom guy is doing manual neck exercise on the leg curl because plant fitness probably doesn't allow bands. There.

Used to have a Dr come in the gym and use the seated ham curl for chest presses. Would kneel on the floor facing it and press it

Literally just saw a girl doing the "leg exercise" in the .gif using the assisted pull-up/dip machine.

I see things like that quite often. People are dumb, especially at the gym.

Not sure about the guy doing bench in the squat rack bc thats just dumb..

As far as the dip machine, they suck. I know plenty of people that use a bench to do dips. It allows you to get a better angle and use your bodyweight.
