This is horrible gym etiqutte, right? Setting your things on treadmills on each side of yours so it looks like someone is using them, therefore you don't have anyone next to you while you run.

My friend didn't think it was a big deal. I do. People pay to use the equipment. If you're not using it, don't set your stuff on it. Period.

My friend - well do you want to use those treadmills?

Me - that's beside the point, smh.
