I'm not talking about the dickbags who do forearm curls in the squat rack. I want to know the most idiotic, dangerous, lazy things you have seen at your gym. This has been done before, but I don't really care. I normally don't watch or pay attention to other people working out at all, but some stuff is just impossible to miss. I've seen:

-Old man fall fast asleep on the "chest press" machine. He was knocked out for about 20 minutes.
-3 guys all using the same bench to do heavy kickbacks. They were were all in a line, thrusting up weight, and grunting at the same time.
-Old man doing bodyweight squats on an upside down BOSU ball. He fell over about a half dozen times.
-A dude giant-setting with the cable station, lat pulldown, decline bench, flat bench, and a couple other things. He was doing his own stupid version of H.I.T and grunting with light weights. He yelled at one dude from across the gym for using the lat pulldown and ran over and nearly pushed him off it.
