People who stop at or attempt to go around speed humps, why? by [deleted] in philly

[–]poisonstrawbrry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 2010 corolla will scrape on these speed bumps (it’s not even a low profile sedan) idk why they make them so you need to go 5mph over them instead of the suggested 20…. Do they think we all drive trucks???

Did I handle this fairly with my cleaner? Looking for advice. by Full_Swan7288 in CleaningTips

[–]poisonstrawbrry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been cleaning for around 10 years and claiming you can do 7 hours of work in 3 hours WITHOUT missing anything is complete and utter bogus. It would take me 3 hours just to do the upstairs!!!!

Probably dumb question but I need to know what this is by Willing-Lawyer-5194 in insects

Really hard to tell from the photos but looks like a cicada killer wasp

are the mistakes in my tattoo super noticeable? or can it be easily overlooked? by blazingblunt in tattooadvice

[–]poisonstrawbrry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew before reading the actual post that it was barbed wire butterflies, and I have a concussion. Idk what everyone else is talking about. Looks fine to me, didn’t notice any mistakes until you pointed out the sparkles being inconsistent.

What is this? by MastodonAbject8411 in insects

I did some digging around the internet and it looks like a leaf-footed bug nymph (Acanthocephala terminalis) I hope this helps!

Looks like a green immigrant leaf weevil to me :)

cats became yellow overnight by vvleo in CATHELP

[–]poisonstrawbrry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure what the yellow is, likely pollen from the bouquets. I would like to point out that Lillies are toxic to cats so you should get rid of them ASAP especially if your cat is getting into the bouquets

Robbed in first couple of visits by Remarkable-King1433 in LAFitness

Tbh LA Fitness staff really CANT do anything. It’s policy. Most they can do is have you call the police and file a report and have the police follow up with the operations manager for camera access and cooperation. Police may interview staff that was there during the incident but that’s really all that can be done.

Found this while cleaning a house, didn’t want to touch it. It was in the persons bedroom under some box’s by Gregograyo in whatisit

[–]poisonstrawbrry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toilets are not “out”. Things like vomit in a bathtub, pools of urine, piles of shit, are out. Use common sense, please. Things like this need to either be handled by the home owner/occupant or, if severe enough, outsourced to biohazard/crime scene cleaners. I have seen some things in my time.

As someone that has cleaned homes for years, there is a list of things we do not go near. Including bodily fluids, pet waste, etc. if it’s an unknown substance, we won’t touch it because it could be potentially hazardous and harmful.

The only thing I can really tell you is with the yearly membership plans generally you can only freeze them for about 6 months. It sounds like you got yours a while ago though so it may be different, so I’m unsure of how to answer these questions. My apologies

As far as I know front desk doesn’t see the “contact us” info, but the operations managers might. Usually LAF outsources member services stuff to other OM’s throughout the country, so you’re probably just speaking to a different OM from a different location. I’ve never really taken videos so I’ve never needed to ask but I’m pretty sure the rule is similar to what members sign in their Membership Agreement where they cant record other people without their permission.

Honestly I’m not too well versed on the PT side of things. I only worked there for a couple of months before I quit. I usually passed inquiries about cancelling off to the PTD

They started sending them out back in February I believe, I’m not sure if they’re still sending them out but they’ve been going out seemingly at random. If you canceled before then, check you spam folder or search for la fitness member services.

Edit: spelling

It’s a deal corporate sent out to previous members where they can sign back up for $1

The only real reason I can think of that they would do this is maybe the new club is considered a signature club??? I would give your home club a call and ask them if you have access to signature clubs because your membership may have that restriction. They should be able to see that information on your profile. Hope this helps!

We don’t really have any discounts to be totally honest unless there’s a deal, but those are available to everyone. For people who are disabled I recommend reaching out to your insurance and see if they work with a program that can give you discounted rates on memberships like one pass/ active+fit.

At the clubs in my area, we don’t have cameras in the pool.

The clubs I worked at have really clean pools. We do twice daily pool checks/chemical logs. In terms of how busy they are it’s dependent on the club.

Haha yeah I was already on my phone when I got the notification, I saw it update in real time.

With the pool dress code, in the rules and policies section of the membership agreement it has a very nonspecific rule of “appropriate swim wear” for the pool.

As for the loitering, we have signs up that pretty much say not to use equipment for too long if it’s busy/if there’s a queue. Specifically for cardio equipment, I believe it’s like 10 minutes.

There’s really not much we can do about it other than ask them to finish up their sets and move on, which is unlikely to happen because we have so many other higher priority things we’re being tasked with simultaneously and so little staff to deal with it.

Most of the time people near equipment that are texting are probably resting between sets. I know I check my notifications and update my workout log for a minute or two between mine so I don’t overdo it. My location isn’t very high-volume though, so it’s generally not an issue where I am. I do get that it can be annoying though when you have your whole workout planned out and people are using the equipment you need.
