Today, I accompanied some friends to sign up for a gym. When we got there, the guy handed me a form, too. I said, "Oh, I'm not signing up." He replied, "Out of all of you, you need it the most." He then said he was also a nutritionist, and offered a consultation. FML

I guess you never met a used car salesman. Let's reverse roles here for a second. Pretend you're the gym guy and that guy is a potential customer. Now, let's say he came with a bunch of friends, and didn't want to sign up. Wouldn't you try a sales pitch to him? If you felt bad, or fat, or whatever, then you need to slap yourself for falling for the oldest trick in the book.

Deal with it or lose weight (unless of course he was being a jackass and you are in fact in shape).

I do not care if you are 1,000 lbs. What kinds of a jack@$$ thinks he can be so rude? If he wants business, telling people they are fat is not the best way to go about it. Maybe he could have discussed the benefits of joining a gym and how even for skinny people it is just a healthy decision.

Everyone needs a gym. No matter how skinny or fit you are, you need a gym to stay healthy and muscular. Gyms reduce your risk of cardio problems (if you're doing cardio work) or of becoming obese. I exercise 15 hours a week (3 hours a day, 5 days a week) and I'm as healthy as can be. Though just one hour a day, 4 days a week is still perfect. And not all of my exercise is at the gym; my school offers a running class and a speed, strength and conditioning class.

Bitch if you don't care If someone weighs 1000 pounds you need a bitch slap to wake the **** up and realize that person probably has a better chance of dying the next day than living the next day.

Here's my impression of 80% of the FMLs on here. "WAAAAAAAHH I'M FAT WAAAAAAAH SOMEBODY POINTED OUT THAT I'M FAT WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH. MY MOM/DAD/BOYFRIEND/DOCTOR/TEACHER MADE A FAT JOKE, WAAAAAH WAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Get over it or lose some weight.

What a terrible way to get business. I would've just left and complained.

If you're that insecure about your body, that you read so much into what a random person said, do something about it.
