Yes, this happens to me all the time. Can't move the seat on the hammer press, or just the other day on the seated leg curl. I had to ask someone else for help and he said it would help if I were sitting in it to adjust it.

My wife will probably kill me for this one but....
When we were dating we used to meet each other after work at the gym. On this particular night she grabbed her gym bag from the trunk and also through a towel into her bag... what she didn't realize was that she had her little "toy" wrapped up inside the towel.
When she was putting her things into the metal lockers in the locker room her "toy' slipped out of the towel, landed on the floor of the metal locker, and turned itself on, creating a very loud vibrating noise which echoed loudly throughout the room. She tried to scramble to shut it off but it slipped out of the locker and buzzed noisely along the ceramic tiled floor, again very loudly. She finally grabbed it, turned it off, and threw it back into her gym bag, closed it up and left the room very red faced and didn't dare make eye contact with anyone on her way out.
After a few years the story is funny to her but at the time it was very embarassing. She ended up sending the story to a local radio station and they picked it as one of the most embarassing stories that week and we ended up winning a all expense paid trip to New York City to watch the preimer of the Sporanos back in 2001. In the end it was worth it!

On leg days, I usually rotate through hyperextensions, leg lifts, hack squats, and v-squats, going from 90lbs initially up to about 360 once warmed up. A few weeks back, I got on the v-squat machine to do calf raises with 360lbs. It felt pretty good, so I decided to try a few squats at that weight. I just barely managed a few, then decided to lock the weight and get off the machine, but I pushed the handle down, rather than pulling it up, so left the weight unlocked. Then I started to crouch out of the machine - the weight came all the way down, locking me into the squat position at the bottom and I COULDN'T GET OUT from under it, and I couldn't push myself backup as my knees were locked in the bent position. This was at 530am, so the only other person around was the woman at the front desk, which is like 100 yards away..
So, I just collapsed myself sideways and sort of slid out from under the weights until I was lying on the floor. I don't think I'll forget the position of that lever ever again...

My training buddy back in college put a hemmoroid sapository up his a$$ before he went to the gym. While we were at the gym it leaked out his a$$ all over the bench.

Well mine would be back when I was 20 doing an exercise on the cable crossover. I did about 5 reps then all of a sudden the one cable snapped. It scared me but at the same time everyone was looking at me like it was my fault. My friend that ran the gym said don't worry wasn't your fault.

I was going very heavy on t bar rows (not the one where you rest your chest on the pad). As I was on my 5th rep this really hot girl walked by, I looked up, she smiled at me then I lost focus, found the need to reposition my feet, slipped, fell backwards, weights went crashing down, I fell straight back, butt crack directly onto the pole!!!

I feel your pain. I was doing old-school t-bar rows and found out the hard way how much weight you can put on one end of the bar before the other end raises up to whack you in the crotch. Fortunately, the bar struck opposite the angle of my dangle.

I was about 18 and training in a hard core garage gym. That morning the only other people there were the provincial champ and his girlfriend (both then in their 30s). I was talking to the girlfriend and the champ, of whom I was in awe, approached stealthily from behind and yanked down my track pants and underlying underwear! I squeaked (I think) and dove for the clothes. The girlfriend roared. The champ said, "ya gotta' fine dick man!" (not that he'd seen it!!).

No way I could top "Most Muscular's" story. That is legendary!
Mine is kind of funny NOW. One morning I was running late in packing up the gym bag. I was looking for a blue pair of shorts to put in my bag. I couldn't find any and dug to the bottom of the drawer and found a pair and threw them in. That evening I went to the gym and put them on. I mistakenly put in my racing shorts that are VERY short. I normally wear somewhat baggy stuff and I got comments like "New look for ya". I was going to do Squats, but decided it wouldn't be the best thing to try in those shorts. I just did upper body lifting that day.

I was not paying attention to what I was doing turned and walked really fast and my hand slipped right up a womans very lose short baggy shorts. I could not even move or look at her I was so stunned. She was a trainer to at the gym I worked out so I had to see her all the time.
I also got trapped under 225lbs on the bench press when I was 19 year old. My so called GF was spotting me and was too interested in looking at all the men walking around she didnt pay attention. She could not lift weight off me either. I had to do the stomach roll. Oh did that hurt.

I was doing my warm up sets for back squats, meanwhile I was chatting with some people, I tried to lift the bar off the rack and put it up over my head. I Don't know what the hell I was thinking.. it was so obvious too because it was way to heavy.

i dont know if this counts because no one knows about it but ill confess now.
3 weeks ago i was doing a routine for strength and i was getting up the 70lb dbs for bench 3 sets of 6 reps and wondering how to go to the 75's as that is a big jump for me.
i did a search here and read about weight mates that other people have used to help on dbs.
i was lucky enough to find some at a fitness store around the corner from work and couldnt wait to get to the gym.when i got to the gym and went to the dbs it was the first time in 9 months that i noticed the weights were coated and magnetic weight mates wont work.
what a moron,i never told my wife and i still carry them in my gym bag to remind me.

MM's Toy Story still takes the prize here imho. Most recent duh-mbell moment was getting all charged and stoked for a lift and one side goes flying up and the other doesn't budge. Forgot to take a 25'er off one side.
Got into it hard once with a training partner on the leg extensions for x # sets/reps. Finished and was feeling good; he picked up the roll pad I was using under my knees & whacked me on the back of the legs; I went down like a house of cards. Had trouble getting up let alone stand and try and beat the crap out of him.

I've been thinking and laughing about Most Muscular's story about his wife for a few days now and I wanna know what she was doing with her 'toy' in the trunk of the car. That could be an even *more* interesting story hahaha

One more fart story.
Back when I was in the Navy I was working out at the base gym doing deadlifts and one of my female shipmate's (young and a hottie no less) came over and wanted me to explain/demonstrate the proper technique. About halfway through my first rep a loud one one ripped out. She just grinned and asked me if the fart was just for the initial rep or did she need to let one on every rep.

Not embarrasing moment but funny, have to share:
This guy at my first gym, pretty good physique for an older guy (40's) at the time but DAMN did his breath stink!!! I discovered it the hard way....
I asked him for a spot doing barbell inclines. So here he is standing over me, giving me a weird spot "speach".....
"Puuuuuusshhhhh push push push push push! Puuuuuuussshhhhh push push push push push!!"
Between that and his dragon ass breath I started laughing and gagging at the same time I almost dropped the bar into my face!!
Get a tic tac dude!

Out of the gym:
My wife and I were Christmas shopping, we were walking through K&B toy store. We were in very good spirits and as we walked around, I saw this enormous Woody doll from the movie Toy Story. In my disbelief, I blurted out loud: HOLY SH** THAT'S THE BIGGEST WOODY I'VE EVER SEEN!!" then immediately covered my mouth, eyes popping out of my head, looking around to see if anyone heard me or was staring. I ran out of there like a bat of out hell, wife behind me with tears in her eyes from laughing so hard!!
