[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once I was in a yoga class that tends to be very packed every week.  A woman came in about 10 minutes late and tried to squeeze in between some people in front of me.  The girl who was asked to move - maybe 23 years old - said, [b]"No, I'm not moving.  I got here on time.  Perhaps you should leave and come back on time next week." [/b] The whole class could hear her.  I almost applauded.  I've always wished I could be the person to put a stop to the people who come in late and disrupt everything in a full or over-full class.

My pet peeve is people who camp out on machines and rest more than they're actually working out, and play on their phones while they rest.  I just want to get in, move quickly between stations, do my 25 reps and get out.  If someone is hogging one machine (the only one of its kind) for 15-20 minutes, I can't use it and that just annoys me.  If you need a single circuit weight station for that long, you are doing it wrong.  And yes, I'll ask to work in, but the same people who hog machines are typically the ones who aren't very nice if you ask to work in.[/quote]

So hateful, so rude - a yoga class? How humiliating! This makes my stomach turn. I have no idea why you find this admirable (or even acceptable!).

For all anyone knows, the woman could have been having the day from hell and was stuck in traffic that made her late to the class. Big deal. Have some compassion![/quote]

Not pp, but I don't think it's necessarily rude. If you attended classes regularly, you know who the regular faces are. I would be MORE than happy to accommodate a regular face I see, who normally comes early or on time, but was late one day. I'm absolutely happy to make space/room.

But just the same, if you attend classes regularly, you know who the chronic late-comers are. They do it regularly, even though class starts on time every week. No patience for those folks. It's extremely rude and selfish to expect others to constantly accommodate you. Ditto for the people who are chronically late in their regular life - they have no respect for other people's time.

And while I think instructors should be a little firm about the "rules," usually announcements are made at the beginning of classes, which the chronic late-comers conveniently miss. Often these are also the types to sneak out early every class.
