From the thread on tapering:
For the last few weeks, I experiment with a meet warm-up.
I've never raced that much, and haven't been to a meet in a couple years except to watch, however, the thing that always bothered me most about meets was actually trying to warm up. I found it virtually impossible to do anything useful in a lane with 13 people, five of whom are chatting at the walls, and the other seven of whom were (trying to) do something much different than I was or doing it at a much different pace. I frequently would give up after a few minutes and just get out.

The key is to get into a lane with people who are going to be doing the same thing as you. This is pretty easy to do if you are on a team. Just organize a warmup, and then all get in the same lane and continue to do the warmup until the lane clears out. Do not do this to be rude, but you deserve to warm up just as much as the next person.
