The worst customer is similar to you, but doing it at peak times, while also taking up resources of staff somehow (even if just chatting them up).

Doing it at 430am is their second favorite customer other than someone that doesn't come at all.

Just look at the signs in the gym to see what they hate. Leaving equipment out, and messing up the toilets (apparently someone spits gum in the urinals?) is what annoys the staff at the gym I go to.

Former janitor here: people do this all the time, everywhere. On the scale of terrible things people do in the restrooms, this one is pretty mild -- but don't do it. Have a thought for the person who cleans up your mess.

The 4:30am customer is the top favourite as they are much more likely to stick around for the long haul. The customer who never comes sounds nice, but they are likely to be a short-lived customer.
