    There is a competetion to park as close to the entrance as possible. Some people will drive all around the car park looking for the nearest space before they park further afield. And then do a 10 K run on a running machine.

    Lots of crazy things happen at the gym. I've already discussed people driving there to use the bike and running machines, and builders using the free-weights. Continuing on the theme of free weights, people often use them to do lots of strenuous exercises until they have gone blue in the face, but afterwards they cannot be arsed to put the weights back in their proper place. The lazy hard working gits.
