Which gym member do you dislike more?

Gym Member 1: Uses 2+ machines and is running back and forth to get in sets and catches and attitude when you try to use one of his machines
Or
Gym Member 2: Uses squat rack and leaves all of his weight on the bar or takes it off and leaves the plates all over the floor
Going to have to say 2 here

Both are not appropriate equittie

I honestly don't care.
One thing that happened to me which is similar to 2 is a guy put a bench right under where the rings go. I asked him to move the bench and he got all upset and said, "What the frick?! I'm leaning my plates against it!"
I told him to stop being a douche and I moved the bench for him.

Both are embarrassing forms of etiquette, but #1 pisses me off the most.

#3: the fatty that uses the treadmill right in front of you. Which is also facing in your direction. When there are plenty of other treadmills to use.

3) The ones that camp out in the 30 minute workout area.

I think #1 is fine as long as it's dead inside

Yeah, it depends on how crowded the gym is for that one.
ETA: I never have a problem sharing a machine.

1.
He is being a turd. I had this happen to me once. Was a woman circuit training and one piece she was using was the cable cross over on the universal machine?!!! This was a Monday and early in the year. The gym was packed. She came up to me and said something. I laughed, “using 3 machines at one time on a Monday at 5pm?”
That was the worst I can recall.
Squat guy is a nuisance. But I just use the weights they leave and put those away properly when done. Not picking up the whole mess but leaving it better than I found it.

I dislike the guy that thinks he can have two machines at once or occupy two benches at once with one if the benches holding their drink, keys etc.
I also dislike the people who want to talk on their phone or extended talking without working out by the equipment they are using.
I just have to wait a few more weeks before these resolution people give up.

If anything, what bothers me more than #1 is a guy who uses a machine and just sits on it taking 10 minute breaks between sets.

This. I don't mind if someone uses more than one machine (I alternate between the dips, pull ups, rowing machine, and lat-pull down bar). That said, I don't "claim" those 4 machines when I'm using a different one. If someone hops in, they hop in. Like a rationalized human being, I wait.

I ignore the attitude. I approach politely and ask about working in with them (I’m not really asking).
No need to be aggressive. Just be nice.

Sits on a machine facebooking — not doing anything — and gets red arse when you want to use said machine.
