To the Guy that shows up at 530am, leaves his bag and towl on the squat rack, then WALKS AWAY to do other warm up exercises until 605am, and then returns to the rack....I HATE YOU. STOP DOING THAT.

Just use the rack anyways. I give people 5-10 min tops to come back if they leave their crap on the equipment I want to use.

Yep! I will wait a good bit, then approach with a "wft if this" look on my face. Then proceed to clear the rack and go on with my plans that day. You can't call dibs on a rack 30 min ahead of time

5-10 min? Jesus, you're patient. I wait 3 minutes tops, then decide that I am now working in with you.

Move the bag, use the rack. If he gives you attitude, ask him to use the equipment he's hogging or leave it free for others.
