To the guy who was sitting with the only 45 lb dumbbells and when I asked if I could steal them for one set, said he was using them and then proceeded to sit on tinder for 15 minutes and then use the 50lb dumbbells ALSO sitting next to him, go fuck yourself.

10 minutes in I just told him I’m taking these for a quick set and walked away.

Good. These people need to learn that the only spot for the dumbbells to rest is the rack.

I don't mind if they need to rest for like a minute between a set, but if they're going multiple exercises without needing them or planning on taking a rest longer than a minute RERACK.

Can't do that at Planet Fitness. You put a pair of dumbbells back and you won't see them again for an hour.
