After you finish using a bar, leave it completely empty. Don’t assume that everyone can lift the same amount of weight you can. Removing weight plates from a bar takes a fair amount of strength as well as good technique. Don’t assume that the next person who comes along has the ability (or desire) to clean up after you.
By the way, this clear-the-bar rule doesn’t just apply to heavy lifters. Even if you’re using only a 10-pound plate, you still need to clear your bar. If the next person who comes along wants to use 45s, he shouldn’t be bothered with removing your 10-pounders. Well, if you drop this weight onto your too, then all my condolence is for you.
