This poo poo is like a thousand levels of bad, and it makes me want to punch something.

Here's what probably happened (if any of this happened, the hardest part to accept might be a fat activist actually going to the gym): large girl with body image issues is using the elliptical on a low setting when she sees a fit or not-fat attractive girl eating a slice of pizza next to some mirrors. There's maybe an attractive dude with a beard somewhere.

The only true part of this story is that she later attended the pizza party.

I think it's because the longer the STDHer wallows in suffering, the more epic their comeback seems, and thus the louder the applause from the crowd of bystanders. Suffer long enough, and you get to marry Albert Einstein.

Two things about that story.
1. At Planet Fitness I know it's a "judgement free zone" so the second you call someone fat you're out the loving door.
2. Anyone who goes there can you explain pizza day? I've seen that a few times now walking by one. Like 50+ pizza boxes stacked at everyone chowing down on greasy as poo poo pizza. I think it's a ploy to get new members possibly?

It's because planet fitness is meant for people who are intimidated by big buff dudes at the gym (read: sissies) so they cater to babies who don't actually want to work out, they just want to be able to say "I went to the gym today" even though all they did was the elliptical at a low resistance until they broke a sweat. The pizza is part of the image. "Hey, fitness is important but not as important as being happy! You know what makes people happy? Pizza!" which utterly defeats the purpose because if you're indulging at the loving gym you're probably indulging everywhere else which makes exercise worthless.

Edit: I would love to see someone reenact STDH in a video format.

TG goons do it all the time by spreading false rumors about games. Admittedly it's a really niche trolling, so nobody who doesn't game will see it or care; but its great when a site posts some goony lies as being from "a trusted source".

The first pizza day was an apology to gym members when one location's showers were down for a couple of days. They saw how popular it was and took it up chain wide and expanded it to include bagel day.



It helps keep the kind of low effort no gains patron they want to see coming through the door.

Tumblr posted:

wow I can’t believe what just happened to me.

So, I was in Mcdonalds just using the wi-fi when this lady walked in. Her hair was dyed so I could tell that she was an SJW. There were only men in the line at Mcdonalds and she walked pass all of them and said, “This is the 21st century, feminism allows me to do this to cis-het white men like you.” and then she cackled evilly. She then asked the cashier to make her one McCake, and also to give her a discount because of the wage gap (not real btw). When the cashier told her that Mcdolands doesn’t make cakes she just gave him an evil glaire and said, “This is just like Anita said. Yet another cis-het mansplaining away free food. This is going straight on tumblr and twitter. I hope you enjoy having your entire life censored, shitlord.”

That’s when I couldn’t take it anymore. I walked straight up to the woman, got right in her face, and yelled THE CAKE IS A LIE! The entire mcdonalds gasped… and then they started applauding. That’s when I realized, that everyone in that mcdonalds had been a gamer. The SJW was beside herself and stumbled out of the mcdolmnalds, falling into a puddle of water and sullying her Steven Universe jorts. The cashier started crying out of joy and handed me $100 straight from the cash register. He also said I’m allowed to get free nuggets for the rest of my life.

It turned out that he was the son of the CEO of Mcdonalds. Also, I just asked him to marry me. You might have heard of him, his name is Albert Einstein Jr.

Here, a content:

Providing Assistant Manager Assistance
PIZZA | BATTLE CREEK, MI, USA | AWESOME CUSTOMERS, BAD BEHAVIOR, BOSSES & OWNERS
(My boyfriend and I stop in to get a pizza at a popular place that has hot pizzas ready to pick up. The customer in front of us has placed a specialty order and, apparently, an employee forgot to mark the box. The manager is irate and begins berating him in front of a queue of customers.)

Manager: “I can’t believe this! I am so sick of your mistakes! The next time this happens, it’s a write up. I’m so serious! Get out of my sight!”

(The manager turns to serve us.)

Boyfriend: “Are you the manager?”

Manager: *cheery* “Yes, I am! What can I do for you?”

Boyfriend: “I don’t appreciate you reprimanding your employees in front of all of these customers. And I’m sure your employee didn’t enjoy being embarrassed like that.”

Manager: *shocked* “Oh… uh… well, that was the assistant manager… and I was just relaying that to him.”

Boyfriend: “I understand. But that is probably something that should be handled in private, don’t you think?”

Manager: “Oh… okay.”

Me: *cheery* “Could we get a [Pizza] with breadsticks? And a soda for your assistant manager, on us.”

If this happened (it didn't) the manager would just be even more mad at the employee.
