this sounds like things people do that annoy you in the gym.

But in my gym, if it's done over and over again by the same person, we cancel their membership. Not like we can't replace and keep others happy at same time. Especially females who don't want to see 12 plates left on the leg press and want to use it.

I always put my Dumbbells away but I don't unrack unless I put a ton of weight on the bar and someone wants to use the bench after me. No one seems to be upset as op and I enjoy unracking myself so it doesn't bother me.

Respectfully. .. it is good form to always rack your weights.

On Sunday, I unloaded the leg press by racking several 45 plates because there was an elderly lady looking to use the equipment without adding any weight at all.

Somebody had loaded it up with weight that she was unable to lift / rack on her own.

You never know the age or ability of the next individual looking to use the station.

It's also good to rack the weights as an indicator that the bench or rack is now available.

THIS.

I laugh at the excuse "when I got here, it was already on".
My response "had it been empty, what would have done?"
Response: "I would have put weight on."
My response: "Then you saved some energy. Please unrack out of courtesy for others."
