Bwahahahahahahaha This is my BIGGEST pet peeve, too Drives me absolutely nuts when the circuit is almost empty, and someone just has to get on right in front of me. GGGGRRRRR I completely understand when its full. However, when theres 13 machines and maybe THREE people.......I just dont get it. I always put space between myself and someone else whenever possible. So funny you brought this up. Has happened to me on several occasions.
