Hell hath no fury...

So I got a letter in the mail (actually address to Mr./Mrs. my husband, but I am Mrs. my husband or no?) in which we were invited to a free weeklong membership at the nearby posh gym. I have been considering joining it, and went one time for a tour, but no, it was not possible to try it out sometime unless a friend would invite me to do so.

So I put on my gym stuff and went over to give it a try. But the problem was that
1. I did not have a towel along and
2. I did not have a Euro along and
3. I was wearing my gym stuff.

Actually the real rule is that you can't wear the same shoes inside and out. Because then they would have to (gasp!) clean the floor from time to time. The rationale for the towel I can understand, and even the Euro (coin-operated lockers). But this guy really gave me the impression like, ah, miss, we can't really have people showing up here at the gym in their (cough!) gym clothes. He actually used the phrase (and I translate from the Dutch):

It's not for nothing that we have the locker rooms.

So I got my free weeklong membership but could I please come back another time bringing along the three (3) items listed above. Not forgetting the clean shoes. I didn't tell him that I would be bringing the exact same shoes next time.
