Etiquette at the Gym

I put in all my stats, get the program started, fire up the iPod, and start my run.

After about 15 minutes, a guy comes and stands right in front of my treadmill. I do not know him. After a couple of seconds of him looking at me, I reach up and take the earbuds out of my ears. And he says "That's my usual treadmill."

"Oh," I say. I look down at the display and say "I'll be finished in about 15 minutes."

He repeats that it is his usual treadmill. I look around, note at least a dozen unused treadmill, and shrug my shoulders. I then replace my earbuds.

Did this asshole really think I was going to just stop in the middle of my workout so that he could have "his usual treadmill"?
Of course he thought so. And the fact that you didn't comply and hit the stop button and clamber off probably stunned his ass.

Why are people so set in their ways? Would he have a freak out if he had to use the one to the left of you?

Did he continue to hover?
