A rant

As Mr Joggerblogger is missing my rants, here’s one.

I joined a gym last Tuesday and had arranged for my induction to be yesterday lunchtime at 1pm.  I decided evening would be better so last Thursday emailed them to ask if I could change it to 6pm.  No reply so on Monday morning I emailed them and and still no reply so I emailed them again Monday afternoon and still no reply so I did that speaking on a telephone thing (remember that from the 80s?) Monday evening and spoke to someone who said that 6pm would be fine so I went up there last night at 6pm and got changed only to be told that they don’t do inductions on Tuesday evenings.  Aarrgghh, not only do they ignore my emails now they’ve got my hard earned cash but they waste my time too.  The girl on reception was good enough to say that it was probably her I’d spoken to and that she didn’t know about the no induction on a Tuesday evening thing so now I’ve got to go back tonight at 6.30 which means I’ve got to hang around for an hour and spend tons of money shopping (damn shame) but also I was supposed to be going out tonight to stuff my face with Thai food and Belgian beer but had to cancel as, if I leave the induction until next week, then it’ll be two weeks since I bought my membership without actually doing any gym type things.  Sort of like most people with gym membership I suppose.
