I can’t believe I bought an Ab Lounge
My friends all told me it was a good idea. They told me that I would use it daily and that I would never regret the investment in my health. I have used my brand new Ab Lounge twice in the last six months since I lugged it up my fifth-floor walk-up and assembled it in my 600 square feet apartment. The ugly contraption now sits in the corner of my living room, half obscuring my view to the TV as I sit and eat my junk food and glare at it. Sometimes, I even sit in it and watch TV instead of working out. I tried the Ab Lounge once. I lasted approximately seven minutes before I jumped off, huffing and puffing, vowing to never use the Ab Lounge again. What was I thinking? The Ab Lounge takes up half the space in my living room. I can’t believe I bought an Ab Lounge.
My friends all tell me that I should return it, but the Ab Lounge was final sale and it can no longer be returned. The store probably knew people would want to return the Ab Lounge. The Ab Lounge is the most overpriced and ridiculous impulse buy I have ever purchased. But there’s no going back. When my friends come over, they all want to try the Ab Lounge. My thinner friends try a few crunches on it and enthuse about how fun it is to try the machine. I wish they would take it home with them. They tell me it was a good investment. I tell them I like my extra fifteen pounds. The extra weight suits me.
Maybe one day I will find a use for my Ab Lounge. For now, it sits like a statue in the corner of my living room. When I come home from a long day of work, I throw my purse on my Ab Lounge, and in the winter, it serves as a coat rack as well. Sometimes, I start to notice too many things piling up and draped on my Ab Lounge, so I clean it up in case any of my friends come over and ask why I’m not using it. I hope none of you ever purchase an Ab Lounge. It was the most impulsive and spontaneous purchase I have ever made. Truly, I tell you, I can’t believe I bought an Ab Lounge.
Moral of the story: don't listen to your friends that are not into travel as much as you are and don't waste your travel cache on stupid things you really don't need.
