Do you re-rack your weights when you finish with a piece of equipment?

I just joined a gym and there is one guy who not only grunts at all times but also sings along to whatever is playing on his walkman. So today I hear someone panting and straining and moaning and groaning and then I hear him interjecting "don't stop don't stop oh yeahhhh" and I thought to myself, what the Christ? Turn around and there he was, putting on his shoes.

There is also a lady who will come in everyday, day in and day out, and all she does is walk like a crab. I mean she bends down at the needs and pivots her arms upwards and shimmies in between all of the equipment like a crab.

I think that guy works out at my gym- annoying as fvck. He's bigger than me, so I just ignore it.

Crab lady sounds hilarious. Are you j/k about her?

I see both sides of the "grunter" dude. On one hand, yes that **** is kind of annoying. Also, half the time its like somebody just wants to make a huge ass production out of it. "Look at me everybody, look at me work. WHHOOO!" That's so annoying.

On the other hand, if you are just seriously putting out, hey good on you. Sometimes you have some guy in the corner doing powercleans with 225 or something and there are actually people going "don't so much noise, and stop slamming the weights." Really?

Its all subjective I guess.

As for the original question, YES. Rerack the damn weights. Its just common courtesy, both for the other patrons and for the staff that has to come clean up behind you.
