unwanted
So this whole get out of debt thing I'm doing has caused me to look at my outgoing monies and make some decisions about which expenditures are necessary right now and which ones aren't. I decided the $45 I'm spending on a gym membership every month isn't necessary right now. I've got enough gym equipment at home to keep myself in shape right now, so quitting the gym would leave me $45 richer and hopefully not any fatter. So I went to my gym on Friday to inform them that I was quitting. I went in loaded for bear and ready for a fight. I've quit gyms before and it almost always requires a lot of arguing and a little out of pocket expense. Transcribed below, for your enjoyment, is the conversation between me and the accounts rep at my gym when I informed him I wanted to cancel my membership:
Me: Hi there.
Him: Hi, what can I do for you?
Me: I want to cancel my membership.
Him: Okay. What's your account number?
Me: 47856493
Him: Okay, let me see here... Alright, just sign here and you'll be done.
Me: ...
Him: Right here by this x. Do you need a pen?
Me: No... I... Is that it?
Him: You also have to date by your signature.
Me: Oh, okay. So...
Him: So, that's it. You're done.
Me: Really?
Him: Really.
Me: Okay.
Him: ...
Me: I... Uh... I really liked your gym.
Him: Thanks.
Me: Really. I liked it a lot. And I came all the time. I just... I'm trying to free up some funds.
Him: Okay.
Me: I'm still gonna work out at home, I'm... you know... staying in shape is really important to me.
Him: Me too. Thanks for coming in.
Me: I'll probably join up again later.
Him: What?
Me: I said I'll probably join up again later. Probably really soon. Once I get out of debt. It's probably silly for me to even quit, I'll be joining up again so soon.
Him: Well, whatever you think is best.
Me: ...
Him: ...
Me: ...
Him: Is there anything else?
Me: I... I guess not.
Him: Okay. Goodbye.
Me: Bye.
Him: ...
Me: Sigh...
Genius.
The best part is when you say that staying in shape is stilly really importnat to you and he replies, "Me too."
