It always starts with one dork and the rest follows because they won't correct that first dork.
I always LOL when that 16 year old bar chick, lighter than our heaviest DB, starts complaining about it (dead before 20, because of a heart attack or hernia)

My gym owner (Hi, Bill!) has tried to kick me out multiple times for calling folks out on their not returning weights, dumbells, etc. Seriously. The guy's a real piece of work. I try to enforce some respect for his/our establishment and he wants to kick ME out.

The world's a strange place.

That sucks to hear and am not surprised. At my gym, people carry towels but don't use them. The woman bring dumbells beside the abductor machine, leave them there after. Many people are guilty of this. I could go on and on like people not wiping down cardio machines when done, guys being rough with the dumbells, the chalk left behind making the platform slippery...

Oh well...

At the 24hr in Penasquitos, CA one usually has to wander around and look for the other 1/2 of the pair because the douches there drag them all over the place and leave them, even upstairs

Hell no!!! Garry has kept it hardcore. The Davenport gym he bought is even better! The whole basement is the powerlifting room: 3 power racks, DB's up to 200's, walls are covered with Arnold/golden age BBers. I swear it's one of the coolest gyms in the Midwest that nobodies ever heard about

Guess that depends on how harshly you "call folks out" when they screw up. If all you're offering is a friendly reminder to them to put the weights back where they go, then the gym owner is probably overreacting. However if your are upsetting folks enough that they complain to him about you, then that puts him in an awkward position. I remember a fellow who used to get on folks case if they took too long between sets and he wanted to use the weights. He'd get downright nasty with folks. Eventually, he was asked to find another place to work out.

What irks me is when someone, most often a teenager, makes no attempt to put the weights away after using a piece of equipment. Another thing I get miffed about is when someone puts a 100 lb. plate flat on the floor next to the leg press. They are a bitch to get up off the floor. There is a fellow who is my age who will get on a piece of equipment, do a set and then rest forever, even when someone is obviously waiting to use the equipment. One time, I asked him if I could work in. He responded with, "I just have three more sets." Which, at the pace he was setting, meant he'd hog the equipment of an hour. I simply gave him a dirty look and walked away. It's just not worth getting upset with inconsiderate people because they really don't care or they would be more considerate.

I know sometimes the dumbbells get a little out of order but that is chaos. What serious trainer would work out in a place like that?  That shows a lot of people are members who aren't serious about working out.

Yes!  Every gym I have trained in people have done a great job putting weights away, but now I train at 24 hr and nobody gives a shit and doesn't put anything away. It's really annoying.
