    One time I had to cancel my gym membership because I was moving. I called and called. It took days for the gym to pick up. Literally could not get a hold of anyone. Until finally I got someone a week later on the phone which I was told I would have to come into the gym to cancel. So I show up at the gym at some later date. And wait… And wait… Like, it was a scheduled appointment. It wasn’t a surprise. And I was on my lunch break from work so I’m rushing as well. Finally after waiting for my entire lunch break in front of the gym office. A guy comes in and is like “oh you hear to cancel?” No shit bro. I’m the guy who called you to talk to you about the cancellation. FINALLY I was able to cancel my membership. Turns out the person that managed the place died of COVID. So nobody was actually managing the gym.

    Fuck gym memberships. I’m still a little mad about it. Why the hell do you have to jump through so many god damn hoops to cancel a service? It took me 3 weeks to cancel the service.
