Gym etiquette
Am I the jerk? I waited about 10 or 15 minutes for a female to finish with the machine while she texted and took selfies much more than she worked out. When she finished, I went over to the machine, wiped it down because she didn’t, got fully set up when she came and tapped me on the shoulder. She said, excuse me, but my friend was waiting to use the machine after me. I responded with well where is she. The girl looked around and said I don’t know, but she’ll be back soon. My response was well. I’m here now and you really shouldn’t be “saving machines“for other people. Obviously, she was annoyed and walked away. Should I have given up the machine and waited for somebody to show up or not to use it? Is saving equipment at the gym good etiquette?
