Thought I’d try a new class at my gym this morning - it’s normally full but I managed to get on as someone cancelled. I got there a bit early, spoke to the instructor and then found a space waiting for class to start. Just as the class was due to start a woman came in, dumped her jumper, purse etc on top of my things then stood about an inch away from where I was! I didn’t say anything but just moved away from her so that we wouldn’t be hitting each other in the face.
A bit later there was floor work with mats so I got my mat and put it down in a free spot. This woman then comes with her mat and puts it right next to mine even though there was plenty of space! I did give her a bit of a WTF look but again, I ended up moving my mat away from hers. At the end she was faffing getting her stuff together but I just barged in to grab my keys, phone etc from under her things.
AIBU to think that there are no ‘reserved’ spaces. I pay my gym membership and can stand where I like - it’s first come first served.
