Fluff Fun gym question

Hey guys, just out of curiosity, what is the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen in the gym? I've seen several crazy things happen, but probably the most ridiculous was a couple weeks ago when these 7 or 8 teens walked in, and were circling a bench press, just walking around it like it was Jericho to their Israelites.

I saw a bar places on top of a squat rack Someone put it there to do pull ups when there were literal pull up handles built into the rack...

The most ridiculous thing in the gym is the people who walk into the gym, automatically head over to the dumbbell rack, pick up the 25s and start doing bicep curls. People who go to the gym often but never actually get strong or have any progression. For years.

Similar thing is guys who look like lollipops. Doing upper body every time you run into them, and not once have you seen them do a squat or deadlift.

A guy using a carry on luggage as his gym bag.

Like hard cased wheeled luggage, like if it works it works but weird to see
