Gym receptionist made me very grumpy
Aaaggghhh! I'm not one to get angry very often, but when someone is condecending to me I really get the shits.
So I went to they gym today (yet again) and I go to swipe my gym card to get into the gate that lets you into the gym. But the little red button didn't turn green, so I said to the girl, "my card didn't swipe, should I try it again" and she was like, "no, there must be something wrong with your account let me look on the computer", she then straight away said in a condecending voice "your card payment hasn't gone through, you can't go through, did you get a new credit card", to that I said "No" and then I remembered I forgot to lift a block I put on my card because I thought I had lost it, so I said to her "Oh I forgot there's a block on it" and she was like, "you can't go through then, I can't do anything about it, you have to go to the bank and fix it". I had no problem with that, but it was the way she was speaking to me, like as a dick for not making the payment. I guess you would have to be there to here how she was speaking.
Man I was so furious after the way she was talking to me, so this was what I was thinking - fuck man, I've payed my payments for the last two years (without one stuff-up), who the fuck are you to talk to me like I'm moron. On top of that my money goes towards paying for her pay check.
Anyway, I was in a really bad mood after that and it took me some time to get over it. I went to the bank and got the block removed and then walked back into the gym. I didn't give attitude, because it wasn't worth it. I didn't want to make a scene and really it wasn't worth it. Plus the gyms just a few minutes down the road from me (so I don't want to leave). Anyway, I was firm in the way I spoke to girl once I came back, so I think she knew I wasn't going to take attitute from her. She was then polite to me, which was good.
I really don't know why I have written the above, because it just doesn't sell my case.
