First, read Rob and Barry's hilarious blog, and then tell us about the best clueless-customer incident at your facility (in 100 words or less).

Was it the guy who blow-dried his sweaty shoes in the locker room? Or maybe the woman who showered with vinegar? Or how about that muscleman who did shoulder presses while on a treadmill? The world wants to know.
