It's sad that it took 11 posts for someone to understand the meaning of irony.

11- The OP paid to use non-premium gyms, which are being turned into premium gyms. So the OP would have to spend even MORE money to use the gym. It would work either way, downgrading or upgrading gyms. Irony is defined as 'unexpected events.' Like an animal rights activist getting trampled by a cow or someone paying to use a gym and then can't because of construction. So, this FML is, indeed, ironic. :)

He wouldn't have to spend even more money, he would just have to upgrade to premium. If he, however, had to pay even more than if he had gotten premium to begin with, then that would be ironic.

86 - And is going to the bakery for jelly doughnuts and discovering they're out of them "irony" too? No. You're retarded and you have no clue what irony is.

It's almost ironic that people are actually arguing what is and what is not ironic. Irony is not exceptionally difficult to understand. OPs situation is a simple misfortune, an honest company would repair OPs situation with little controversy.. But why would someone spend $300 on a gym membership anyway?

If the bakery is usually never out of jelly doughnuts...yes it is ironic.

I think you have confused the concept of 'irony' with the concept of 'stupidity' in this case. The outcome should not have been unexpected by the salesperson. Possibly 'misrepresented' but not 'unexpected.'

Irony involves a reversal of expectations. The reversal is key

I like your logic! When everyone's super.. -dramatic pause- ..no one will be. ..I keep making "Incredibles" references. FML

if i were a boring lawyer, i'd point out the difference between "super" and "premium" at this moment... it's only it seems like that would kill the fun in it

wordnerd: At least try to get it right… s/will be/is/

94 - You made me resort to re-watching that part because your remark weighed on my conscience. My only flaw was that there was a chuckle during the dramatic pause. The words and tenses were verbatim from the script. Good day, and my negative thumb to you. 80 - ehh. Sidenote regarding everyone, not just the above two: The forum has gotten more and more ignorantly pedantic in the week since I last visited. Smh, kthxbai.

This. I know it probably wasn't just one day, but I can't believe they just let you buy a useless $300 membership.

The gyms.

It's your fault Noahmg

You know I was thinking the same thing, but then I wonder if they provide higher grade services like a personal trainer and an awesome spa area with free massages that places like 24 hr fitness don't have.

Gym* 22, oh okay. Yeah makes sense.

I got a 1 month member ship for 50$ at my local gym

If it's $300 for a year then it's cheap, if its a month then yes its expensive, but OP dosent specify the length of membership.

i agree, $300 for GUM would be alot....

yes, $300 for GUM is ridiculous.

Cheaper isn't always better but neither is dearer
