Generally it seems like common courtesy at the gym to wipe your sweaty residue off a machine when you are done with it. In fact, there is a sign that requests it. Another common courtesy (and accompanying sign) request that you do not hog the machines when others are waiting to use them (in other words, if you are doing multiple sets, let another member cut in who is working through).
Most of the time this is not a problem - most people seem to see the sense/consideration in observing these rules. However, there is this one guy where I work out who seems to act like no one else is there. He does multiple sets without giving up the machine, reading his People magazine while resting, comfortably, on the machine. He gives annoyed glances to people who are clearly waiting. And then when he is finally ready to give up the machine, he does not wipe it off.
So now I am wondering how to approach this guy. I don't generally want to create conflict and if this only happened sporadically, I would ignore it. But it happens all the time - and for some reason our schedules seem to overlap.
Some people are just so damned inconsiderate.
