Now you're just vastly over exaggerating and taking this situation out of context. Of course if someone has the majority of all of the weights that sucks. But playing devil's advocate, what if they were planning on using them? And then you just decided to take them off the rack because you assumed that they weren't? They are just going to take the weight from somewhere else anyway...All I was saying is that it would be polite to ask someone if they were using/going to be using the particular plate you wanted. Just differing opinions here man, no need to take it so personally. In MY situation I literally racked TWO extra 45's on my rack that I was 100% planning on using and the guy tried to take it off without asking.
