Truth
Today, it's easier to buy a house than it is to get out of a gym contract. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I paid $500 for a gym membership after moving into a brand new house, since 12 years of software development has taken its toll. When I told my instructor about my goal to lose 35lbs in two months, he simply said, "Yeah... That's not going to happen. Try another gym," and left promptly. FML

Today, I bought a $300 gym membership that gives me access to the company's non-premium gyms. The non-premium gyms are all closed due to construction, because they're being turned into premium gyms. FML

Compromises
Today, I realized I agreed to go to the gym with my fiancé after being on my feet at work all day because he wants to get fit, but he will not help me remodel the house I’m working on so we can have a bigger place to live, because he doesn’t feel like it. I don’t want or need to go to the gym. FML

Today, I bought a $450 elliptical machine to get in shape of the new year. After 5 hours of putting it together, I realized that all the ceilings in every room of my apartment are too low for me to use it without hitting my head. I can't return it. FML

The old switcheroo
Today, I was supposed to close on a house. Unfortunately, our lender decided that they couldn't finance us and denied us a loan, after 3 months of us digging up paperwork, saving money, and packing. Now we have to scramble to find a new place, while our insane landlady screams at us. FML

Welcome home
Today, I met with my realtor to close on a house for my boyfriend and me. While waiting for my boyfriend, I got a text message from him saying he was breaking up with me. I had already signed the papers on our house. Now I'm responsible for a mortgage that I can only afford with his help. FML

Today, I couldn't take home the free weights I'd planned on buying to start bodybuilding 'cos I couldn't lift the box, which was too heavy for me. FML

Today, I had to listen to fellow classmates whine about selling one of their many houses, while I can barely afford to pay for a $100 textbook. FML

Fresh start
Today, I decided to turn my life around by finding a job, going to a gym, and getting counselling. Counselling is £145 a month. A gym would be £50 a month minimum, and there's an 8-year gap in my resumé, and everyone says no one will hire me because of it. FML

Bankers!
Today, after talking to the bank, I'd have to take a pay cut to qualify for a home loan. I'm still confused. FML

Now is time for a stealthy mission to break in, steal the contract, and melt it with acid. "What contract?"

You can close your bank account and cut them at the source.

Story of my damn life. I lived in an apartment literally block away from the gym I was going to and I knew one of the managers. We had a fire, in which I got burned and had to had skin graft surgery, mainly on my legs. The building was condemned and we had to live 40 minutes away. It took 6 months of calls and doctors notes to convince them that I was not fit to drive, yet alone work out. They finally wiped my debt clean, but not before they sent it to a bill collector -_-

If you think that's bad, try getting out of a tanning contract! You basically need to be dead, and then have your ghost come in with a Presidential order notarized by the reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe.

Cancelling your gym contract bro? Do you even lift?

Is anyone else really annoyed that this is a complaint when no one can even afford to buy a house anymore?
