young and old, everyone does it for the most part... don't know if it's laziness, self absorbed cluelessness, they think it's no big deal, they think "that's what the staff is here for! or what...
i mean to me the thing is: would they enjoy having to move SOMEONE ELSE'S weights around or off? OF COURSE NOT! BUT YET they don't put their weights away... i defines logic really...
i guess people are just that clueless, self absorbed, etcetera... it's like the analogy of you ask 100 people about people who drive and talk on their cell phones at the same time and 99.999 % of them will say " yeah, people can't drive and talk on their cell phones, they are horrible!, etcetera... and yet...
these are the same people WHO DRIVE AND TALK ON THEIR CELL PHONES? what did they mean " WELL, I MEAN EVERYONE ELSE NOT ME! DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO TALK AND DRIVE!?
strange how humans are like this i wonder if there is a exact psychological word/definition for this? 100 people will say "no one knows how to drive" well, obviously some of those 100 people who say that are ones who don't know how to drive!
anyway, personally i put my weights away, because i'm not lazy and i do what i'm supposed to do following the gym rules... heck, i hate it when you go to a movie theatre and people can't even pick up their empty popcorn and soda containers and throw them away in the trash cans provided as they leave....
