Yeah this moron is just upset they won�t let him game the system for his own benefit, it�s the same argument as a hoarder with thirty coupons for the same item in the Walmart checkout line and similarly the cashiers have zero control over what the system lets them enter, so he�s raging against corporate policy that no one involved with the story has anything to do with

Also being genuinely upset there wasn�t any salad is genuinely weird, it�s not anywhere near a given and it wasn�t specifically promised so suck it up and swing through a drive through on the way home

planet fitness was a little while ago but just saw this and it made me laugh a little

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/planet-fitness-known-no-judgement-zone-allegedly-kicks-man-tourettes-004341713.html

"" posted:

A man from Southwest Florida claims he was asked to leave a Planet Fitness, a gym which boasts a �No Judgement Zone,� due to his medical condition.

Fox 4 Now reports that Josh Ertter visited a Planet Fitness in North Fort Myers, Fla. with his fianc� and his brother when, just minutes after he began his workout, an assistant manager told him he was making too much noise, and he was asked to leave. Employees were made aware of Ertter�s medical condition, Tourette�s, before he began his workout.

�He was like �sir, I know you have Tourette�s, and I know you can�t control it, but we�re going to have to ask you to leave. You�re not welcomed here.� And I was like what? Seriously?� Ertter told the outlet.

Ertter, unsure of how to feel after the incident, told Fox 4 that his Tourettes is something out of his control. �Trust me, I swear if I could stop I would, I don�t enjoy doing this,� he said.

Ertter is hopeful that this incident doesn�t shine a negative light on Planet Fitness, but rather, it will help educate others about Tourette�s syndrome. He said, �I truly want to use this platform as a way to raise awareness for Tourette�s because of the lack of education. To get kicked out of somewhere and discriminated against for that, that�s just ignorance and intolerance.�

Tourette�s syndrome, which typically starts in childhood, is characterized by uncontrollable repetitive movements or unwanted sounds, called tics, which may include a person repeatedly blinking their eyes, shrugging the shoulders, or making noises. The cause of Tourette�s syndrome is unknown.

While Planet Fitness did not immediately respond to Yahoo Lifestyle�s requests for comment, they sent the following statement to Fox 4: �We sincerely apologize for the unfortunate incident that took place at our North Fort Myers club. In this instance, a staff member enforced a company policy in error. While the staff�s actions were not malicious in their intent, we are working closely with the franchise owner to re-educate the staff on our current policies and protocols. We have also contacted this guest directly to personally convey our sincerest regrets.�

AITA for wanting to take a date to Outback steakhouse?

He's a stupid rear end in a top hat for suggesting a garbage chain restaurant because he's a lazy idiot cheap rear end and she's a mean rear end in a top hat because she demanded a pricey restaurant an hour's drive away for a first date when they're college students. It's more that they're horribly incompatible than anything else, but dude shouldn't be expecting positive reactions from any girl in the world if he thinks Outback is a good date spot. :lol:

I'm very far from cool or hip in any way at all, but I would be put off in her shoes too. Choosing Outback is a weak rear end move.

Ziv Zulander: Mar 24, 2017; ZZ for short

Little bit late, but I hate fast casual places. If a first date said Outback was their favorite then that would be a dealbreaker. If I�m going to sit down, order, and wait for my food to arrive, then it�s not going to be at a place where everything is shipped in frozen and reheated by some dude making minimum wage. Local places can be bad too but at least when you go a new one you�re taking a chance on what you get. With fast casual it�s 100% the same across the board. Even fast food has its place, for when you�re feeling lazy after work and want something greasy without getting out of your car. Fast casual like outback, Applebee�s, Olive Garden, red lobster, qdoba, chipotles, five guys, and so on are all scourges that prey on people who don�t know any better.

There�s this idea that if you want to go someplace nice, then you have to get dressed up nice too. You don�t. If you want to check out that Italian restaurant you�ve never been to then you don�t need to have on your Sunday best. Nobody is going to care if you come in wearing jeans and an old t shirt. Some people don�t get this, and that opens up the market for places that offer �good� food without being intimidating. But, the food is only good compared to the even worse garbage you�re used to and the intimidation from the other places is all inside the person�s head.

There are also people who like fast casual because they�re afraid to try anything else. It�s consistent, local restaurants aren�t, and that turns a lot people off. If a potential date is afraid to try something new, then there�s no two ways about it, they aren�t the right person for me.

AITA for buying my dream guitar? My fiance is threatening to leave me over it.
u/76hkremd

quote:

I've been playing guitar since I was about 8 years old (I'm 22 now). It's always been my dream to own a pre 1960s Gibson Les Paul.

I just happened to be googling around and found one litterlly exactly like I wanted. It's an Ebony finish with gold with 3 pickups and gold hardware. It was literally too good to pass up, I mean once in a lifetime, will never find again, had to buy it or never have the chance again opportunity. I tried to get financing from the dealer but it just wasn't happening so I took a credit card that had a __10,000 limit that I'd had since college and bought it. It came one day shipping and it is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It looks and plays like a dream.

My fiance is furious that I didn't consult with her, in my take our money is our money and she shouldn't panic. Her take is that I put our financial future at risk for something silly. I'm trying to tell her its not even a risk since these guitars ALWAYS go up in value and it's been my dream. She refuses to see this and to prove it to her the music store I bought it from is willing to buy it back from me, but she's mad now that I won't just sell it back so I shouldn't have said that because I'm never getting rid of this guitar. She is also mad about putting it on a credit card but to me that's exactly what credit cards are for...to buy once in a lifetime things that we can't afford on the spot. She says that's not true at all so I guess we just have to disagree over this because that will never be how I see it.

This isn't a relationship advice post because I'm not selling or getting rid of the guitar. But I want to know I really was an rear end in a top hat for buying it in the first place?

Edit: guitar is loving fake. I called them when the dude on here shared the link tp see if I could get an appraiser and they said they�ve been trying to call me for a few days. I just talked with the music store that sold it to me and they say an employee mislabeled it and put it online when they shouldn�t have, they are refunding my money including shipping. That was a roller coaster of a day. Wow. Nothing lost I guess

I hope she leaves him anyway. buying the guitar in the first place was a dumb, short sighted move with a total lack of concern for involving your future wife in major decisions that affect both of you, it being a loving fake is like double down dumb squared

Also, I love that "our money is our money....to buy a guitar I want".

In context, you have this backwards; the people who always eat at Applebees and Outback Steakhouse are the ones who won't try pho. My parents are that way and they had never had indian food until they were in their 50s.

Applebees, Chile's, etc aren't popular because they're good. They're popular because they serve the same kind of bland food that most Americans make at home and they have cheap drinks. There's nothing wrong with liking that kind of place but there's also nothing wrong with not wanting to date someone whose idea of good food is bland chain restaurant food.
