Anyway... three college guys have been coming to the gym lately.
They mostly just fuck around. Today they were doing barbell shoulder presses, but for some reason, they decided to set the power rack hooks at about eye level. So when Wife Beater tried to go AMRAP with 95 lbs, he couldn't actually rack the bar. Instead of helping, his friends laughed at him. The best part? Instead of simply lowering the bar like you would after a clean, he decided to sit down on the ground and the bar eventually reached the safeties, which were set on the lowest level. He laid there for 2 minutes like he'd just run a marathon while the two other guys team lifted the bar back in the hooks.
Sounds like a "bro" rotation that's been regular at my gym for the past 2 months. The "leader", and 2 regulars with him (although lately it's been 3), who more or less load plates on his machines, while they get instructed as they do their "workout" in between. About a month/half ago, they left 9 plates/side on the leg-press, and left the gym floor (fake R.O.M., in case you're wondering). After about a minute, a went to the lobby, and nonchalantly asked the three of them if they were done. After the leader said yes, I changed my tone of voice and said "Then take your shit off your machine", at which they just stared with their mouths hanging open. I turned around, and went back to the lifting area.
