Today, I was chatting with the cute new receptionist at the gym. I told her that I would be going there more if she was there. She looked me up and down and said that I should go regardless. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the gym that I just became a member of, making an extra effort to look good because I've heard there are hot guys there. The lady at the front desk said they need to take my picture, then took a second look and said, "Don't worry hun, we'll take it when you're more prepared." 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 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, I was at the school's rec center, working out for the first time in a while. While there, there was this very mysteriously attractive girl who kept shooting me glances. I asked for her number and she responded by saying "if you can lift this same weight as me". I couldn't. FML
Today, after waiting a year, I asked a coworker who I like to work out at the gym with me. She said yes. I figured this would be the perfect place to show off my body and impress her. In every exercise we did, she lifted more weights than I did. 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, while I was at the gym, I saw a guy walk into the girls locker room. I was walking nearby so I said, "Hey man, that's the wrong one." Turns out it was just a very masculine-looking woman, with a very masculine haircut. FML
Today, at the gym, a very attractive lady was working out in front of me, wearing tiny shorts that left zero to the imagination. I kept trying to avert my gaze, until her extremely buff boyfriend came over and threatened me. My crime? I wasn’t checking out his girl enough. FML
Today, I had a meeting with my super-hot TA. When I got to her office, she complimented me for being early, to which I thoughtfully replied, "Oh, I usually come early." She laughed. FML
Today, I tried hitting on the new receptionist at work. After a few flirtatious comments and subtly hinting that I thought she was bangable, she informed me that she's married to our boss. FML

I can imagine she's probably tired of being hit on by the men going to her gym, but that's still an incredibly stupid thing to say to a customer. After all, you want them to come back and get a membership, not go back home humiliated and look for other gyms in their area where they won't be casually insulted by the staff.

Well now you know not to chase her because she's a jerk.

Well dang looks like you need to get in shape ;)

What the receptionist said doesn't necessarily mean that op is fat. She could just be turning him down. Sorry op :(
Hopein2025 14
Youre not fat shes just picky
Respect101 17
OP isn't fat... He is fluffy!
xlord 27
@40 - How the **** would you know if OP is fat or not? There ARE fat and obese people and they need to do something about it. I completely understand that in many cases it is not their fault (genetically predisposed) but saying someone is not fat is like telling an amputee that they are not missing a limb. ....okay rant over haha

Keep in mind, it's not many cases that people have no control, it's VERY LITTLE of the population which has no control. Genetics are not an excuse to live unhealthily.

It could also be that OP isn't chubby at all but is rail thin and she meant he needed to build some muscle.

Yeah no, don't put me down for cardio
kingdomgirl94 29
Or, amazing thought, she's tired of being hit on AT WORK. She's there to do her job, not flirt with whoever thinks they have the right.

Or maybe she doesn't know how to take a compliment and is really just a jerk.
kingdomgirl94 29
You've got a great smile is a compliment, being hit on is not. Are you so self absorbed that you think that you hitting on someone is a compliment?
sean0930 11
Funny , but she might be right .U should focus on ur workout .

Please use proper grammar when you comment. There isn't supposed to be spaces between punctuation, and 'u' and 'ur' aren't real words. Sorry, I'm a real grammar nazi.

#23 Heil Grammar!
BellaBear90 27
Definitely #3, and to be fair although he might have thought he was giving her a compliment, she didn't appreciate the idea of being drooled over whenever he comes go the gym. I don't think she did anything wrong, if he can banter so can she. He's supposed to be there to workout.

23-- let's look at your comment. 'Isn't' should be 'aren't'. I have a master's degree in linguistics and enjoy proper grammar as much as the next person, but please don't criticize others when you can't master subject/verb agreement.

Is it really that hard to type two extra letters? Instead of "you" you type "u". Good job, you saved yourself a couple milliseconds.
Marie54321 19
Just wait until you start seeing your gains, then she'll be all over you OP
Finurlen 11
No, that's a really bad advice. Why would you want to go for someone that's only focusing on appearence?
Marie54321 19
I just figured that once she starts flirting with him he could make the decision to blow her off like she did him, or go for it. I'm not saying that he should put in work to make himself look good for her, #21.
sjbartholome 14
#21, that's funny that you say that considering that OP started flirting with the receptionist. All he focused on was her appearance and all she has to work with is his appearance.
Finurlen 11
#51 Yes, I totally agree. Though he was just being nice to her, flirty(which I myself see as a compliment). She doesn't really have to shoot him down like that.
subhaan786 19
Ahaha she's got an attitude but don't take it to heart. I'm sure you can get somewhere if you try well :) good luck on future receptionists

But then again, she should sell what the company offers, not herself.
askullnamedbilly 33
She doesn't have to respond to his flirting, but smiling and ignoring it is far better than making him feel like crap. If he doesn't stop flirting and starts to actually harass her, she can always have him kicked out.
LexiDaBae 17
What she said wasn't stupid or insulting. She was just encouraging him to go to the gym. Maybe she just doesnt like being hit on.
RedPillSucks 33
Some people pay big money to be causally insulted by staff (or inserting a staff, I can't really remember).
ckerane 16
what a bitch. good luck with the gym
kingdomgirl94 29
What a bitch! She should date him because he flirted with her at work! Who cares that OP could be not her type or she could be in a relationship! With how this was worded, it sounds like she wasn't being rude, And that OP took in the wrong way. *You should come because our gym is great and its good for you, not just to see me* sounds more likely than *you should come anyways cause you're fat*
J_Kertz 14
It could go either way, but it really does sound like she was insulting the guy. No, she doesn't have to date the dude, but she could have at least turned him down in a less harsh way.
elusiveshame 22
And people should respect people while they're working. Flirting with someone who's focused on their job is a huge annoyance to people, especially if it happens frequently. Besides, if he can state his attraction towards her appearance, why can't she state her reason for not being attractive. Double standards are a bitch.
more4me 27
she probably thought it was a line and she must be hearing it all day long ! Still, that response from her is a little unkind .
tournamentdecide 33
maybe that's her way of saying she wants you there more.
