Am I a dork for using those fractional plates at the gym?

I bring fractional plates in my bag and try to go up 2.5lbs each workout for some movements. Today I did close grip bench with 277.5lbs. Am I a huge dork?

Not if you're doing that much weight, I have 8 .5 lb plates for when/if I stick with lifting long enough to start microloading a pound each session.

I find them to be quite useful for pressing specifically.
