What do you do when someone takes over your excercise equipment at the gym?

I saw no one at the squat rack and I wanted to use it. I was there for about 5 seconds and this black guy came up to me and said "I'm using it."

I stood there with a WTF look but I let him have it because I didn't want to fight him. I wanted to hit him on the head with a dumbell when he wasn't looking.

What do you when someone at the gym tries to strong arm you away from the equipment you are using?

Well, my first step is that I usually go to an online forum and bitch about it. After that, I go cry in the shower.
 
In America, you would just point a gun at them saying "I was here first, now move over, I have one more set." and they move over, and it no longer becomes an issue.

In Canada, you throw poutine on their head and run.
 
One time I remember waiting on a bench. They hadn't used it for a while (maybe 5-10 min), so I moved it out of their work out area started using it. Now at this site there was a national weightlifting champion. It turned out it was a bench that he and his cronies were planning on using. He flips out on me, his 4-5 friends stand behind him. I point out that no one had used it for a while, we were out of benches, and they all had to come running from staring in the mirror to stop me from taking it.

Maybe it's bragging but I'd have beat the holy heck out of him I think, however, the other 4-5 guys would have changed that equation. I've taken beatings before but I decided it wasn't worth it.

All I could think was steroids.
 
If you want to use equipment someone else is using, you ask to hop in between sets. If someone wants to use equipment I'm currently using, I offer to let them hop in between sets (if we're doing the same exercise). Otherwise they'll just have to wait.

Give him two tickets to the gun show.
 
In Canada you'd stroke his balls a bit, get him hard, suck his cock a bit then grab a barbell and bite your lip while he rammed his cock up your ass.
 
I nervously apologize a couple of times while avoiding eye contact. Then I'll hand over my wallet and offer up my girlfriend to use as he/she pleases for the night, or however long, no hurry, sorry.

I buy them a Coach purse and then openly mock them in front of other gym members for thinking it makes them look so cool!
 
At my gym, everyone will have to wait in turn for equipment unless he/she is a pro trainer. It stated in the contract.
