MY GYM SUCKS [expletives]! You probably dont care about this but holy shit do I need to vent[More:] My gym was closed October 9. A letter was sent to notify me of this on October 11 (letter is dated Oct 11). I received that letter October 16 and promptly called to have my membership cancelled instead of having it transferred to another gym in the area. I spoke to a girl who told me that my account was closed that day (the 16th).

November 3rd, $39 is withdrawn from my checking account AFTER I was told the membership was cancelled. I call, another girl tells me that girl #1 did not cancel my membership, but transferred it (wtf). Girl #2 is now cancelling my account and issuing me a refund. Yay!

Today, I see that my refund is for only $27.68. WTF? $27.68 =/= $39! I have to call AGAIN. Evidently the $27.68 was a pro-rated refund for October, and I was not set up to receive a refund for the accidental withdrawl from my account in November. Why. Why? You should not have taken any money from me in November, why wouldn't you refund it to me? FUCK. So girl # 3 now explains that she will issue me my refund for a whole $39 for the November withdrawl when they 'accidentally' transferred my membership instead of deleting it entirely.

omgwtfbbqstd. WHY. So frustrating! The good thing is that I wasn't expecting a refund for October at all, so now I am getting more money back than I expected but SHIT. Shit. I don't have time for this! As of today this BS has gone on for one month, and I hope now it is finally over. Sigh.
Does it seem like gyms are particularly frustrating in this regard? I always have problems cancelling gym memberships in any sort of reasonable manner. I don't understand why.

Yes! I'm curious as to whether or not any of this was 'accidental' at all. They must think that people will not bother, or not pay enough attention, and they make off with some extra dough. That's probably true to an extent (people not paying very close attention), but man. Enough of being jerked around, already.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I doubt that this is over yet. She probably also signed you up for AOL and extra cable services. And she may have hacked your ISP. This will take months or even years to sort out. You'll probably have to change your name and go into the witness protection program to escape.

First of all exercise is bad for you in so many ways, so fuck it. I hope you've learned your lesson here - I mean, look at Jim Fixx - he learned too late, poor bastard.
