People who leave a towel draped over part of a machine, or a water bottle or something, so the machine looks "claimed."

Only usually they're not; usually they've moved on to another station, or across the room to talk to somebody, and they've forgotten to take their stuff with them.

Like I say, I give them just one minute. But still, I resent it.
I'll usually look around - but only if there are weights and a towel on it. If I don't see anyone I'll just assume that it's not taken.
