I must not understand gym etiquette at all.
In the weight room at my gym there is a set of overhead rails bars that people can do pull ups or chins on. They are probably 30' long. One of the flat bench sits under them.
There is a guy setting up for some flat bench work and another guy walks in and ask if he can use the bench. The first guy starts pointing at the other bench until the guy explains he wants to use the bench to get access to the rail above. Dude moves his entire setup so the guy can basically hang off the rails and stretch.
I'm standing there the entire time like

. I would have told him to eat balls and go pull another bench over and use the other 25' of rail available.
