I don't mind the guy who has only so much time and comes running in and wants to use a machine. But the prick who comes in and signs up to use a then empty machine 20 minutes later - so he can do his lifting and stretches first - then throws a person who's gotten on the machine in the meantime off the machine is just a douche. Cardio stuff is the most used in the gym. It should never sit idle while some prima donna twit waits for his alloted time. He has an obligation to use it as soon as he sees it open.

Um, why can't you check the signup sheets and use a machine that no one has signed up for? Since you indicated there were a bunch of empty machines. It's pretty assholey to be on the one machine that someone signed up for when there are a bunch of empty non-signed up for machines around.
My gym does not have signup sheets though there's a posted but unenforced 45-min limit. Sometimes (gasp!) I don't get to use my favorite model of elliptical trainer (there are 3 of them) and have to use one of the other 5 varieties.
