what do people do by way of training when idiots

...keep breaking the weights? I entered the gym today and having completed a couple of sets of db bicep curls, decided I was going to pyramid down to the 20kg's for another couple of sets. The only problem being some dimwit had previously broke one of them dropping/throwing it from shoulder height?

I decided I would be better off doing another couple of sets with the 22's knowing it would be a bit more of a struggle due to being wasted on the first couple of sets. In this case, would many of you just dropped down to the 17's or have simply set up a 40kg barbell equivalent or stuck with the 22kg's? I did however manage the latter completing five good reps and slightly cheating on the sixth for the remaining two sets.

Edit: It's DW so it will probably take about 3 months to get another set

Some one in my gym turned a bar into a banana by doing heavy rack pulls with resting the bar on two benches, to be fair he did buy a new one though.

Way I deal with em is wait till they start doing squats then cut in the squat rack and do bicep curls with 60kg made up of 5kg and 2.5kg weights

If they don't get replaced sharpish, I'd join another gym.
