Verdicts are the opinions of people who voted here, based on one side's account. The majority is not always right.
At my gym there are signs everywhere asking people to wipe equipment after use, and spray bottles and paper towels at every station. A man finished a set on a bench, left it absolutely soaked in sweat and walked to the next machine.
I said, as politely as I could, 'Sorry, would you mind wiping that down?' He looked annoyed and said, 'You can wipe it yourself if it bothers you that much.' He didn't wipe it.
He says he was in the middle of a circuit, was coming back to the bench in a few minutes and would have wiped it at the end. He says it's not my job to police other members.
Deliver your verdict to join the deliberation. Back to the case.
Comment on the dispute, not the people. No names, guesses about who anyone is, or abuse. Jury room rules.

Someone's sweat puddle and 'wipe it yourself' is a truly impressive level of confidence.
Coming back in a few minutes doesn't mean anyone else knows that. Wipe as you go.
Tell the staff next time. They'll say it for you and he can't argue with them.
