Enjoy yourself.

If you're in doubt about form or what exercise to do ask someone. People are most likely happy to help you any way possible.

Also don't be nervous, people aren't staring no matter how fat/skinny you are. You're there to better yourself, people respect that.

Now go out there and make some gains Anon!

And welcome to the path of making it

Don't re rack your weights, they have people paid to do it and they sometimes get annoyed if you do it (as you will likely do it incorrectly)

It's like leaving the changing room of a clothes store and going back around rehanging up the clothes you just tried on.

Take a dump before you lift so you don't shit in the squat rack. This may seem obvious but I've seen it happen.

If your new gym friend asks you to go back to the locker room to do a shot of protein, it's rude to refuse

Don't try to replace your squat plug with a squat cucumber. It'll slide out and everyone will laugh. Speaking from experience here.
