Continuation of Uncomfortable Conversations

Gay you are onto something with this whole, "We are not entirely there" comment. I definitely feel this is true. I will tell you why.

I remember going to the gym with Monkey one afternoon, and I had lost my ID (which they swipe to let you in) but I printed out my gym confirmation e-mail showing I had purchased the said membership. Well, I knew what I was going to say when I was going up to the woman behind the counter to make sure that when I did come in I wouldn't face any problems....here is what I actually said.

Me: I um got this off my bursar, and i lost my ID card can I still get in, to um work out and stuff?"

Gym Lady: Yea, sure may I see the paper?

Me: Sure, sure....(holding the paper and showing her where I highlighted my purchase) It's um right there.

Gym Lady: Oh ok, yep thats no problem. You know you can only use this one time to get in right? I'll just circle this and make a star.

Me: Um, ok but I am not coming in right now, I just wanted to make sure, so when I come back in you'll remember me and that we just talked about this, and made sure it was ok? And what about the fitness classes can i get in with this too. (Keep in mind Monkey is looking at me telling me to hurry up, and im holding up a line of about 15 people.)

Gym Lady: Yep, you can still do the fitness class, and just show whoever is here the paper when you come in to use the gym.

Me: Ok and then I can get in. Ok thanks, bye.

(Literally about 15 seconds later after I put my stuff in a locker.)

Me: (to the Gym Lady) Ok im ready now, remember me? I can get in right?



Monkey to this day reminds me how awkward I was. Thanks Monkey. This was just a normal conversation for me though, haha.

The End,
Grobo
