Do you re-rack your weights when you finish with a piece of equipment?

I'm doing weights at the gym yesterday, everyone is in his 20-30's, and really not making any noise... this old man comes in, is doing super light weights and is grunting like a monkey that just saw a black monolith that holds the meaning of life. He grunts in every and each rep that he does.

Some people do, alot of people dont and some jackasses put their weights where they shouldnt, so when you're damn tired and plan to put your weight back to the correct spot, you see this twice as heavy weight in a place thats its not. FRUSTRATING!!!

I don't get why anyone would complain about ppl reracking plates in the wrong order.. I mean wtf, is this like the gym police or something. You can already be quite happy if the bars and plates find their way back to the racks, no need to be super OCD about everything.

Yes, because putting things back in their right place is complicated and too hard to do...

Pretty much this.

Stop whining like little kids.

Big whoop if you have to pick up the heavy DBs from the top. Heck, it's much easier, ain't it.

And... you're there to exercise, not have everything right where you want it.

Lame...

Some weight trees are designed so only certain weights fit in certain places and are labeled for that reason. So you put a 35 where a 10 should be. Then the 25 that should fit below won't fit and it throws off the entire tree. VERY ******* annoying when you literally can't pull a weight off without re-racking 6 other misplaced plates.

Agreed. It's also a pain ********** to have to search for your weights when there is obviously a pattern to be followed. I have a feeling these kids are the ones who never learned to color within the lines.

Maybe I should have clarified my post somewhat... my gym mostly has these types of plate racks, where it's really irrelevant where one racks the plates:

If you have those pyramid type things, it's probably another matter entirely.
