No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Went to the gym at 7am only to find it closed, and 7.05 as I was leaving, he was driving into the parking lot.

Edit: Happened 3 days in a row.

Thank you for all the replies, did not expect to get so many. In conclusion this is what we're going to do, while I also try to reply some of the comments here.

Have you failed to factor in human fallibility to your cost-benefit analysis for this gym membership?

We agreed if anyone is going to be late, then they should notify in advance.

Three times? I'd switch trainers as they're not respecting the time I'm paying them for. Five minutes late, thrice in a row? I wouldn't go back. There's plenty of trainers out there. 5 minutes is about 8% of an hour. If he's just driving in at 5 past, it's gonna be closer to 10 past before he's actually training you. He's not giving you 15% of the hour you have paid for, and if he does it 7 times, he's stolen a whole hour of training from you Go elsewhere. If they don't respect your time and money someone else will. Sounds like my hairstylist. I'm always her first client of the day, and I always end up sitting outside and waiting for her to get there. I get it, going to work sucks. She's good and I like the location, so I don't complain.

All valid points, but I'm going to give him another shot, just because he's a great kid with a great attitude during sessions. He has a big focus on form which I really appreciate to avoid get injuries.

Warm up stretches.

I walk to the gym, its not too far, then walk up 3 floors of car parking to the gym's back entrance (gym is in a mall and the main entrance only opens at 10.30am). Pretty warm by then! I guess that's part of my frustration. Happy to say I went to the gym today and everything was set up and ready to go by the time I arrived.
