Triggered a Couple Obeasts Today I finally decided to get myself a proper gym membership. Up until now, I've been using the equipment I have at home and the local biking trails to get my work-outs in, and it's been working, but I wanted something different. Luckily for me, my husband's work offers a corporate discount for one of Canada's largest gym chains. My husband has been a member since he started working for this company and has been very happy with their clubs and amenities, so he signed me up too. My membership starts September 1st. This gym is opening a brand new, bigger club right by our house. They're still building it, but have a trailer parked outside where people can go and sign up for a membership. Perfect! I can stop in and ask some questions about when they're opening, what types of services they will offer, etc. My husband and I walk into the trailer with our baby in tow. We're greeted by a very petite but fit employee, who says she will be with us momentarily. She's talking to an obeast husband and wife pair, and there is another femayo seated at a nearby table. I smile at my husband - this is gonna be good. We're still standing at the entrance of the trailer, right beside a table that has a model of 1 lb of muscle and 1 lb of fat. I grab the fat, hold it up to my husband and say loud enough for the single femayo to hear: "This is one pound of fat. Isn't that disgusting?" It shoots me a dirty look, and goes back to playing with its phone. The employee has to go get some paperwork, so she tells us to take a seat near the obeast couple. She gives them the paperwork to fill out, and answers a few questions for us. Both the husband and wife obeasts are glancing over at us. The employee tells us the date that the new club will be opening, and I say loudly, "oh good! {Baby} will be six months old by then." The wife obeast looks at my son, then looks at me and scowls. I just give her a satisfied smirk and continue my conversation. Eventually the husband and wife obeasts leave, and my husband suggests that the employee go help the femayo because we'll probably be a little bit still. I can overhear the conversation. In short, the club was running a discount on memberships in honour of the new building, I think she said $17 biweekly. But to get the discount, you had to give them your banking information today, so that when the club opened, they would automatically withdraw the funds from your bank account. Minimum length of membership for this deal was 1 year. The femayo wanted the discounted price, but didn't want to give her bank information or pay biweekly. The employee told her this wasn't possible, and the conversation repeated itself several times. (Not only are obeasts lazy and entitled, they're also incredibly stupid). Eventually the femayo agreed to the bi-weekly payments. My husband leaned over and whispered to me, "she doesn't want to sign up for the bi-weekly payments because she knows she won't use the gym more than once or twice." so I said loud enough for the femayo to hear, "a gym membership won't do anything if you don't fix your eating habits anyway. You can't eat junk all the time and expect to lose weight." The femayo gave me another dirty look, and I just smiled. The good thing is, I probably won't see any of those lard barges at the gym because I doubt they'll actually continue to go after a few weeks. Bonus: they were handing out free T-shirts to new members. The employee told me they ran out of XL (not that I needed it anyway)
