Today, I arrived at the gym 1.5 hours before closing, hoping for a less crowded environment due to the late hour. I prefer working out when the gym is not at full capacity to avoid potential collisions while using equipment. In such situations, individuals often negotiate to take turns, forming a queue system. While this is a reasonable solution, it comes with the downside of spending extra time waiting for your turn, thus extending the overall duration of your workout. This can be inconvenient and even critical at times, disrupting plans and schedules. Unfortunately, today was one of those instances where my attempt to choose a less crowded time for the gym backfired.
