Today, a potential customer was looking at a treadmill at the fitness warehouse I work at. Once he was done testing it out, I asked him if he'd like me to order it for him. His reply? "Nah. I only had a go on it 'cause it looked like fun. Hey, but you could order one for yourself, huh, chubs?" FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked into the gym to do legs and walked up to the leg press machine where a trainer was taking weights off. I asked him if he was about to use the machine and he gave me an odd look and said no, then walked back to his client who was in a wheelchair. FML
Today, I was checking out a gorgeous woman in spandex with beautiful flowing long black hair on the treadmill at the gym. I spent a few minutes just watching her body move and ripple under the material. She turned off the treadmill and got off, only for me to find out that it was a guy. FML
Today, I was working my job checking people in at the gym. A sweaty, chubby woman came up to me complaining about how our staff seems so fit. I replied, "We like to hire people who have bodies that motivate our clients!" She gave a blank stare, then said, "So how did you get the job?" FML
Today, a customer limped over to me in one of the dishwasher aisles and asked if we sold dishwashers. I said yes and pointed at all the dishwashers. He looked around for a couple of seconds, belched, then said "Oh... right!" and walked off. No commission for me, then. FML
Today, I sold some weights that were way too heavy for me on Craigslist. I felt okay with not being able to lift them when I saw the other man, who was a pretty buff dude; that is until of course he informed me he was buying them for his wife. FML
Today, I mentioned to my boyfriend that I want to start working out and get rid of my holiday weight. His response? "Okay, just don't join a gym. People will have to see you there." FML
Today, I hinted at getting it on towards my wife (it's been 2 weeks since we last did). She answered with "no I'm to tired", within 2 minutes she said, "I'm gonna go use the treadmill". She got all hot and sweaty for about 30 minutes, but it was with the treadmill. FML
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
Today, I walked into the gym in my new workout outfit and headed straight for the weight machines. After 10 minutes, a staff member tapped me on the shoulder and said, “Sir, this is a physical therapy clinic.” The gym was next door. FML
Today, I picked the treadmill next to an old man so I could feel better about myself. He ran faster and longer than I did. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ask him to stand on the treadmill, then turn on treadmill and watch him fly. Y'know, 'cause flying is fun too.

There is a difference between being overweight and being unfit. Skinny people can be unfit.You are just an idiot.

So he's an asshole for stating the truth?
HarleyQuinn1996 8
No, he's an asshole for assuming it's the truth. Does he know the OP? People say insults that are irrelevant to people all the time. He assumed so he made an ass out of himself and me. Somehow I'm okay with being an ass

You can fix that. Being a jerk is forever and just gets you punched.

Sorry to be harsh, but if you're "chubby" you shouldn't work at a fitness center. "Chubby" isn't fit at all. I'd rather go to a store whose employees promote their products properly.

He said he worked at a fitness warehouse, not a gym. He sells the equipment itself, not gym memberships. Maybe you should read carefully before you make judgmental comments.

Hey maybe he's not "chubby" and the guy was just a judgmental prick.

Make a big deal of telling him that it is "store policy" not to allow customers "of his weight" to try the machines if they aren't willing to buy because they might break the machine.
