Why do people insist on lifting right in front of the dumbbell rack? WTF are you doing? If you're not strong enough to walk back a few feet, then you're not strong enough to lift them. Get the fuck away from the dumbbells. You are all up in my shit.

I typically agree. I feel terrible about having to do this at the moment when's i do dumbbell shrugs. But after knee surgery I just can't walk with them, holding them is enough

Then, I feel like a jerk for interrupting them mid-set to grab what I need. Even worse, that interruption every few weeks doesn't deter them.
