When did reading your contract save you from a con artist? I signed up for a gym membership on a

whim and got sketched out when they initially charged me 250 bucks instead of only 90 for the month.

I went home and I legit didn't sleep because I was so mad I went through with it. I called and

asked the next day to see if I could cancel and almost everyone I spoke to said either no it was impossible or only if I with it. I called and asked the next day to see if I could cancel, and almost everyone I

spoke to said either no, it was impossible, or only if I moved to an area that didn't have the

gym. I checked the contract, and you could cancel within the first two weeks, and I was only three

days into the contract. You bet your butt I canceled so fast. Gyms are notorious for being hard to get out of their contracts.

LA Fitness wouldn't let me cancel online or in the gym itself. I had to send a letter to their

HQ in California or some crap. They claimed they never got it. I had to send it certified

in order to force them to acknowledge that they got it. I just recently cancelled a

lifetime fitness membership as well. They weren't as bad. I went to customer service and said I wanted

to cancel. They said no problem, but then the computer he was using, won't let me sign it. Here,

let's go to my office. At which point he tried to get me to stay. Once I said it was because of where

I lived now, he was completely understanding and got me cancelled immediately, so it was comparatively good.

My landlord agreed to let me move out a month early since he wanted to lease the apartment to

someone else. We had to sign new paperwork to let me out of the original lease and to make me

agree to be out by an earlier date.

I knew he was a recently convicted forger, so I made sure to read what I was signing.

He had added the condition that if anything fell through with the new tenant, I'd still be on the hook for rent after I moved out.

I called him out on it, and he said, oh yeah, I just added that part to protect myself.

And then he stole my deposit.

I still need to take him to court for that. Frick you, John, I've got a few more months before
