“Excuse me, we’ve had some complaints you’re intimidating people with your toned body.”
Today’s best #humblebrag-as-news-story award goes to Tiffany Austin, who was kicked out of a Bay Area Planet Fitness for being too fit:
Austin said things started out well. She hopped on a treadmill, set the speed to slow, put her earbuds in and started walking. She started to notice others staring at her, and quickly grew self-conscious but she kept on walking. That is until a staff-member stopped her.
According to Austin that staff member said, “excuse me we’ve had some complaints you’re intimidating people with your toned body. So can you put on a shirt?”
Austin was wearing a tank that showed her stomach and capri-pants and says she didn’t see anything wrong with the outfit. She says she was only told not to wear a string tank because of the dress code policy at the gym.
Tiffany! I hope Tiff tipped this story herself. I want to read every possible version of this story: “Excuse me, we’ve had some complaints you’re intimidating people with your intellect and wit. So can you take it down a notch?” [KTVU]
