Today, I went to the gym with two of my friends expecting to pay a guest fee but the cute guy working at the front desk let me in for free. On the way out after working out I started to flirt with him and he said "Don't flatter yourself, I just let you in because I'm lazy." FML
I agree, your life sucks (49431) - you totally deserved it (9755)

Well, either way you didn't lose.
Next time you should tell him "No, don't flatter YOURself, I'm just repaying my debt to society." ...If you wanted to be mean xD
Well, that was unnecessary. He may be cute, but he's an asshole. Don't take the way assholes treat you personally. The barb up their ass has nothing to do with you!

If you want to be nasty back then rat on him to his manager telling him that this guy let you in for free a couple of times.
Either that or next time your there throw a medicine ball at his face.
You're better knowing straight off that he's a prick so you don't waste any time...

LOL #6. the orange juice actually came out of my nose.
i agree with that.
plus it'd be funny.
dooo it
violence with a medicine ball
australia says yes!
What's with people trying to make vigilante justice over this? He was lazy so he let her in. She got the wrong impression and tried to hit on him. He's obviously had a long day at work, so he flat out tells her to stop trying. Maybe he's taken. Those who would attack the guy physically or professionally must be sociopaths or something.
Plus, he totally saved her like, 5-10 bucks.
Sorry but I said YDI because you were trying to flatter yourself/fish for compliments/feel special. Someone does that and my first impulse is to put them right back in their place.

#6. Do it!! That sounds awesome. I can see it now on tv "Woman attacks man with medicine balls at local gym" hahaaahahahaha

wow, what a cocky asshole. he's the one who shouldn't be flattering himself, haha.

why would you want revenge? he let you in for free! i don't give to shits if he acts like an asshole, gyms are fuckin expensive, and if i got in free i wouldn't complain one bit. so #6 why complain to the manager that you are getting a free fuckin ride? sounds like no one here knows what is like to be broke.
Makes you wonder what she said if the first thing he responded with (apart from the generic "hi" and whatnot) was "don't flatter yourself." Came on a little strong perhaps? =P

You deserved it, just because he let you in for free doesn't mean he's interested. I don't know why some OP think everyone is out to flirt with them.

thank you 10 for the shred of sanity here...
I don't get how this is FML material. She got in for free. Or maybe she's a he. Whatever.
This basically boils down to "FML because a cute guy wasn't interested in me" ... give me a break.

girl he was just teasing you. thats how men are taught to flirt, and you girls are supposed to like it.
#29 - On 03/25/2009 at 11:48am by AlexJakubsen1
wtf?
1) Why would an employee that has to deal with the public be so rude.
2) Lazy+Gym should not go together. It's like those people who insist on parking in the first 5 spaces in the gym parking lot. You're at the gym. Park in the back and take a short walk.
#11 and anyone saying YDI - Just because she was trying to flirt doesn't mean she was fishing for compliments. It is possible to flirt without trying to fish for compliments or flatter yourself. When people flirt, at least the people I know, it's because they want to express their interest in someone as someone. There are people that do it to make themselves feel special, true, but who's to say the OP is one of them.
It basically sounds like she got the wrong impression, which could be understandable because it would seem more likely that someone would risk their job to let one girl in because he was interested rather than let people in because he is lazy. I think the FML is more "FML that was really embarrassing in front of my friends and people in the gym" rather than "FML one boy doesn't like me."
Granted, the guy could have been a little nicer about it too. I've gotten hit on at work plenty of times but I have a little more tact than just blurting out "don't flatter yourself." Yeah, some people get annoying, especially the drunk ones, but there's always a way to respectfully decline. It would be just as easy to say "sorry, I'm taken" or "sorry, I'm not interested." Even those are a lot less blunt than what he said.
lol im not gonna lie that must have been embarassing and he was a dick but to get him fired would be a real crappy thing to do. just because someone made you feel like crap isnt a reason to get fired. however have you considered he may very well be attracted to you but is a bit immature and felt uncomfortable flirting in public. i collect tolls for a living and i never give free rides to girls im not attracted to. something to think about.....
WOW, that is harsh. I'm sorry though, you really can't assume every cute guy is after you. At least you worked out for free.. or at all for that matter.
#10 & #24 are right on the money here
hardly a FYL, but not quite worthy of a YDI
get over yourself and just go flirt with someone else
#35 - On 03/25/2009 at 4:39pm by genius_man16
Well... you WERE flattering yourself, now weren't you? It doesn't make him any less of a shit, but maybe don't assume that people are into you in the future.
i dnt get the joke #4 is tryna make.
#13: i LOVE the headline.
this is not FML worthy.
#37 - On 03/25/2009 at 5:22pm by nikkireese
lol everytime I help a chick w. her PC she thinks I'm flirting when I don't charge her.... but they are just fucking stupid, it's a free service (within reason) to get a few questions answered.... lmao I'm w. #1.

#30: Some people are on a tight schedule. Other than that, and barring some other improbable circumstances, I agree, getting as close as possible to the gym in a car is absurd.
#39 - On 03/25/2009 at 5:31pm by shorgenfunkel
Buuuuuuuurn!
Thats gotta suck!
Aww!
At least he didn't say "Sorry, we can't let you in because you exceed our maximum weight limit for the machines" hahaha
I really want to know what you said to that. Lol. #30, I don't really put much thought into where I park. If the spots open then it's open. Nothing wrong with that. But yea if you were flirting to the point where he wanted to say something about it, then you were probably coming on too strong. Sorry, but I put YDI. It's not good to assume everyone is flirting with you, makes you look like an idiot.

omg i actually teared up lmao like i felt how much that could have hurt
#47 - On 03/25/2009 at 11:33pm by imrathersmashing
#39: Totally understandable when people are on a tight schedule... except when the gym is packed and would rather wait 5-10 minutes for the open close spot to "save time". But like #46 said, if it's open and convenient then sure, I can't really argue with that haha.
Yeah, what a jerk. Have him fired for sexual harassment :P
#49 - On 03/26/2009 at 12:34am by agentasuka
#49!!!!!!!!! Are you out of your mind!!!! You don't pull crap like that unless you are willing to be put in jail and sued.
This sounds EXACTLY like my mate: he works at the front desk in a gym, and he would more than likely say this. If it does turn out to be my friend...I'm only going to laugh harder.
#51 - On 03/26/2009 at 1:22am by texas_punk08
This is a FML? He wasn't being an asshole. He was just being honest, you just took a small favor and made it into something it wasn't. Jeez.
Ha I can't believe I'm on FML. Yes I am lazy and didn't feel like filling out a guest pass. Yes I am taken.
he's probably like joking, flirting with you or whatever, even if he's not, you got in for free and there's PLEEEENTY of fish in the sea :]

hahahah this is hilarious, i work at the YMCA and if someone forgets their card or comes in with friends i just let them in all of the time. it is truely a pain to get all of the paperwork needed and putting a new person into the computer... half of the employees are only working there to get the free membership anyway :P
