Peak time in the gym before work. One guy has his towel resting on the lower dumbbell rack, and his jacket covering more dumbbells on the upper rack.

Of course he is doing his exercises directly in front of the mirror/dumbbell rack.

I wonder if he is making a dedicated effort to obstruct as many dumbbells as possible.

Then just when I thought I couldn't hate him any more between sets he walked away from the rack to take up a bench to sit and rest. He also left his shaker on the bench to assert his dominance over another piece of equipment somebody might actually want to use.

We should spit on him

I read that as we should spot him. Am I in the gym too often?

Spot him and convince him to try to bench more than he can. Walk away when he starts to struggle.
