Probably just some odd OCD kicking in, but I use my rest time between sets to 'clean up' the gym. I'll re-organize weights and even spray down bars and benches with the disinfectant. People probably think I work there haha. I'll make sure I bert stare someone if I'm putting weights away that they used and failed to put back. Passive aggressive at it's finest!

Word, there's only a few retards at my gym who do this. Irritates the fuck out of me, I've started to just take over whatever they're using if they are bouncing around machines or benches and tell them I thought they were done and can never tell as they don't put their weights away and say they can wait for me to finish. Then I uppercut them and scream HELL YEAH BROTHER

You guys really need to get your own equipment if you have a house/basement/spare room. My biggest gym issue is when my dog licks my face during a set. If I didn't live in an apartment, I would definitely do this. I'm not motivated to drive to a gym and deal with the dumbshits that take up space to talk about last nights game. I want to work out and leave, not socialize.
I'd be more willing to exercise if it was more convenient to me vs. having to go out of the way to do it.

No spotter at home. Plus I use the company gym, meaning I get access to showers and drying room if I decide to run/cycle to work or at lunch. If I'm going to pay either way I might as well work out there. That said, the gym at work is pretty shitty.

Wife can spot, plus I use the stops in case i fail when I'm alone. I'm not doing that much weight, but I still wouldn't want someone to spot who couldn't help if something went bad. And as far as stops, I'm not sure how much they'd help. Either they'd be too high and interfere with ROM or they'd be so low I'd still be pinned. I guess at a little low, a spouse could pull the plates off, and you'd be probably be ok. But I'd rather a spotter who could get involved before that happened if I had a bad rep. Like I said, it's probably paranoia.

I'm thinking worst case scenario if my knee gave way or something crazy. The stops will keep the bar from landing on me - but either way, I have no issues working out.
I've had my share of bad spots at the gym lol 25 second rep.
