You know, when you're in the gym and there's a machine that you wanna use, and someone else is using it, and you've asked them how many sets they have left, and they tell you, do you linger around? Like, do you wait near the machine or do you go like, far away from where they are? Because I've had situations where I've moved away from where the person is, and then someone else has gone there, which is kind of annoying. So what I now do is I will linger near the machine. I kinda feel like that would put, like if that was me, when it's done to me, it kinda makes me feel like I'm under pressure, but then I wanna still make it known that I'm next in line. What do you guys do?
