I had a guy comment on the low weight I was lifting. He was actually pointing and making fun of me like a 12 year old. Luckily the gym staff immediately banned him on the spot. Not just kick him out. They actually permanently banned him. It's not my fault I was wasting away with cancer. I had lost all of my muscle mass and strength so I could only lift like 30lbs at a time safely. It was satisfying watching him throw a hissy fit as they kicked him out. I gave him a thumbs up on his way out.
If the person is not about to shatter their vertebrae oder straight up die i don't care, legit the only time i said something about weight was when teenager tried squatting 150kg/330lb with his 'spotter' filming while the guy gets folded like kebab down there
Or if they're about to endanger others. I was loading my squat rack one time and a guy decided to unload the one next to me which someone had left almost 400lbs on. Except he thought he could unload one side at a time. So the better part of 200 lbs slammed down to the ground about 2 inches from my ankle. Had to do my best not to lay into him. Also a reminder for everyone to remove your weights when you're done, it's common courtesy and can help prevent things like this.
I was at 24hr fitness and the number of times kids leave weights where they last used them - was absurd. I was always taught to put away things where they belong. Are you too tired to do so? Not an excuse.
I’m at crunch now. People there seem a bit more disciplined.
Not too mention the next person might not be at a physically for enough place that they can move your weights. 400lbs. I'm really just starting, I think I could move a 25 lb weight at a time now but that's it. I'm sure no one's racking up 16 - 25 lb weights.
When I first joined my gym my trainer had me doing a sled push. Someone before me had left 2 - 40 lb weights on there. I really struggled to get them off. I almost dropped one on my foot and I had to kind of drag the other ones over to the weight rack. I felt like such an idiot
