HOW TO GET FREE GAS FROM ALMOST ANY GAS STATION

Around here you don’t have to prepay at the gas station. What I do is fill up my tank and then get in my car and drive off. It helps if you have kids so bring them along. This way if the cops pull you over you can say your kid is sick and it was all a big mistake. Also, I’ve told the cops I have brain cancer and they let me go.

Now, if the owner catches you and makes you come inside to pay, make sure to at least steal a candy bar or 5 Hour Energy, or take the money out of the penny tray because these business owners are rich and deserve to get fucked.

Also, I have my 8 year old son go in while I’m pumping gas and he takes candy bars for us. It’s only a couple bucks so who cares? The universe revolves around me.

I wonder how many of the self-righteous idiots in here Torrent their movies/TV shows and have no issue with that?

I agree $10 in 2011 is not a lotg of money. An iced coffee at dunkins is $2.71 for 5 ox of ice coffee with lots of ice
what would be a ‘fair’ price T-Nation guys would pay for use of a gym
full use of a gym, that is open for you, has your equipment to use, a locker room, bathrooms, showers, LIGHTS, treadmills with cable tv…

$8?
$7
$6?
$5?

I’m against the whole sneaking into a gym thing, but pro downloading.

My rationale is that if I couldn’t get it for free, I more than likely wouldn’t get it. Any movie I’ve loved I’ll buy on DVD, but if my choices were buy/rent the movie or don’t, they technically aren’t losing any money from me. If anything, me having seen the movie (and liked it) makes me more likely to buy it.

187

As an investor in a local gym, I do take this rather personally.

Our policy is to hold any people trying to sneak in and call the police to press charges.

Once the word got out, nobody fucked with us any more.

This would never work at my gym… It has the turnstile barriers which can only be unlocked by the card being swiped BY THE EMPLOYEE behind the counter. And when this happens the PC shows a name and picture. So unless I manage to “casually” jump over the barrier in plain view of 3 or 4 of the gym staff about 3 meters away and get away with it somehow, im going nowhere.

Umm. no. If you’re trying to say that my argument can be applied for the gym, still no, because I don’t really travel so if I’m going to a gym once I’ll be going there long term and thus get a membership.

191

So you’re pro download because you have a computer and the internet, but anti gym sneak because you don’t travel?

192

It’s stealing plus. Stealing in that you’re getting a service for free, plus you get the chance to add wear and tear to the location and the equipment.

Good job, hero.

Fight that good fight.

I have saved your post though, OP. I will know what behaviors to train against once I get my facility opened.

In addition to what UtahLama posted, I would suggest getting a face shot of the douchebomb and sending it to all the local gyms/fitness centers, in the same way card counters and cheats get busted from casinos.

No.
I’m pro-download because if I didn’t have to option to download, I still wouldn’t buy the movie. Hence, they’re not losing any money from me. Hell, if I download a movie and like it, I’ll sometimes go buy it. If anything, they’re coming out ahead.

I would pay for the gym if I had to travel, though it would be easier to just ask for a one day pass or get a membership at a gym with lots of locations so I can lift as long as I’m in a major city.

Unless I’m mistaken, this is the argument being made for not paying for the gym while traveling. I.E. If you don’t have the option to sneak, you just wouldn’t go, so the gym isn’t out anything. The question becomes what is the difference between pirating music, and pirating gym time?

Downloading music doesn’t wear the equipment. Plus they’re generally not dependent on the income.
It’s the subject for another debate(that I’m not going to get into), but I don’t feel bad about stealing from someone who makes 6 or 7 figures.

Most gyms don’t do “free trials”. If you lie and say you’re thinking about joining and go on their tour and all that shit maybe they’ll let you lift for free one day. But you’re wasting your time and theirs. Just walk in, lift and don’t fuck anything up. You’re not costing them a dime. [/quote]

Really? I get a 1 or 2 week pass every time. Maybe your doing it wrong. Or maybe by trying to be tough guy folks think you’re an asshole and don’t want you in their gym. I’ve picked up passes from places like Lifetime Fitness, Gold’s,and Anytime Fitness. It’s really not that hard. It’s sort of like sweet talking a car salesman into letting you test drive the SRT-8 Challenger.

I’m not sure where you get off using ‘the movies’ as a comparison considered that those are incredibly overpriced as well. I personally think that this is part of a bigger picture than just paying a gym fee. Think of how many other things are at a ridiculous price, and ask yourself why you should have to pay for such a thing.

Also, if I was a paying member and someone I knew was training for free, I’d congratulate them on beating the system, and then join them in their awesomeness.

Next, finding a way to not pay taxes or my water bill.

Right, cos the businesses don’t have to pay AT ALL for power, heating, facilities insurance, water, repairs on the building, equipment maintenance, not to mention staff wages, etc.

No, they’re just there trying to cheat YOU.

This is a bullshit thread. $10 for a casual workout seems quite reasonable. I have several gyms near me that charge that for a casual workout.

If the OP travels all the time, why not join a chain gym? They have branches in most cities, and a few gyms are now global.

I guess cheating someone is just more fun, but don’t go blaming “the system” MAN…
you just don’t want to pay, so leave it at that.

198

I have to say I’m heart-warmed by the number of people that understand that others are trying to run a business and almost no one jumped on the “fuck 'em” wagon with the OP. I don’t think he expected that…I’m sure he thought he was saying something safe.

199

if your job means you travel alot, you probably make more than minimum wage
shut the f up and pay and lift, OP is scum. I’ve own pizza place, is stealing pizza okay?
I own a stripper agency, is stealing the girl’s tips okay?
I went to a bar today, ate and drank should I not pay them?
I got ice cofee should I not pay for that?
OP is a loser
