well in college I workout in my college gym.....and everyone is happy to help each other out with spots. thats one good thing about the college gym, it might be full of noobs and bicep posse's, but no one hesitates to help each other out

at home, my gym is a nice kind of expensive club kind of place.....again, everyone seems happy to help each other out as well.....Their really are no idiots at that place either.

ps- its unsafe lifting without a spot imo in many instances such as chest pressing.
