So touching a towel is ok because it's not owned by the guest but removing personal items from the corporate chair is not ok. What about dumping the personal items without actually touching the items? Is that a party foul. For all you know the personal items might be borrowed or stolen. Technically if your a$$ isn't in the chair it is fair game. Just like the exercise equipment in the gym. If you expect a towel to be a place holder in a gym you just won the the dufus of the day award.
