Shocking handicap in top rated players

Why is it that as a player's rating approaches 2000 they increasingly find it difficult to put away a table at the end of the night? Until eventually, at 2000 and over, the poor souls are completely unable to fold a table away or even comprehend the concept!

Yeah, we have the same problem at our club.
Then again we also have territorial issues (placing screens/dividers in such a manner that almost covers half the gym, while 3 or sometimes 4 teams are playing competition matches). Keep it real, you're not playing in a professional competition and if you would, you wouldn't be playing in a gym :P.
