Quitter’s mentality?

Not a rant, just a public consideration of a real bugbear of mine…why don’t people return gym equipment to its rightful place when they have finished with it?

Dumbbells lying around after sets, Swiss balls rolling around on the gym floor and bars left fully loaded on the rack are common sights.
Is it down to laziness? – “I can’t be bothered” or “I’m too tired after my sets”
Arrogance maybe? – “Somebody else will do it for me, that’s what gym staff get paid for”
Ignorance of gym etiquette? – “I didn’t know I had to put them back(!)”

Personally I think it’s indicative of something deeper – a quitter’s mentality. A combination of all of the above. Walking away before the session is truly complete. Failure to draw a line under your efforts and retire for the day knowing that you have finished the task in hand.
You’re not taking your training seriously or appreciating that those around you may wish to do so.
It makes the gym a disordered and dangerous place and inconveniences others

Sometimes pulling order from the chaos can benefit your training – taking on multiple opponents in the dojo, for example. That should be a deliberate approach and take place within your own, defined, space. It shouldn’t be detrimental to the training of those around you
