As in a significant proportion of the eastern European members in my gym imo lack basic gym etiquette, examples include; hogging machines, 3 to a bench and having a chat between the 3 of them between a set instead of rotating the bench and weights, leaving bench but not leaving an indication (towel etc on bench) that bench is in use and then screaming at you when you from another machine/other end of gym when you go to use it, not bringing towel or wiping machine after , not leaving weights back etc. Of course not all Eastern European members are guilty of this and in turn members not from eastern Europe are also guilty of this but in my opinion the eastern Europeans are proportionally by far the worst offender. Only my opinion. Of course may be different in other gyms and I am not saying anything derogatory about them outside the gym. Perhaps this is totally normal in the gyms in Eastern Europe. I do believe also that a significant proportion of the blame must lie with the gym staff for not enforcing the rules. Probably going to get a barrage of abuse for what I have said but its the way I see it in my gym.

I assume they were part of a team or something but it used to annoy the hell out of me when I wanted to just get in and get my workout done without having to ask people to move.
