As a mature group, I thought you might find this amusing. This is the gym where I meet my personal trainer.
http://www.ottawasun.com/2016/05/19/ottawa-woman-says-gym-told-her-she-couldnt-work-out-in-tank-top-i-felt-discriminated-against
I heard about this "incident" before it became news. In case it isn't already evident from the pictures, the individual in question likes attention... as in really likes attention... When she posed for the media, she put a sports bra on and pulled the tank top up and made sure everything was covered... When she was working out, no sports bra so things moved around, so to speak...
As I understand it, a patron complained about exposed sideboob, a female staff member pointed out the dress code (it's prominently displayed) and asked that she comply, then things elevated quickly... Since no-one really wanted to deal with her meltdown, she took her complaints to Facebook...
What isn't hitting the news is the front desk is being inundated by phone calls from "outraged" friends of said individual, including some threatening calls... Seriously, who calls a gym to make death threats about the dress code??
PS: I see this story is not only making the local news but has gone viral... I wonder why?

Wow, I can't imagine anyone, but especially someone that well endowed, wearing a top like that without a sports bra underneath. Those things need to be restrained!1

I can see a couple reasons why that went viral.
It's good to hear the other side of the story. I thought it really seemed to be lacking the full story.
People who get involved in this to the point of harrassing the business when they have no idea what they're talking about really need to get a life.
Nice tupperware though.

Oh .... MYYYYYYYYYYYYY1

In this photo she is wearing a racer back underwire bra.1

@RodaRose, you're likely right... certainly not swinging freely as was described by my source.

It's like a slow-motion trainwreck... social justice whiners from all over the world seizing upon this situation and "virtue signalling" like there's no tomorrow. Pathetic, really...0 -
I was talking to my "source" yesterday and learned a couple of new points.
Movati is one of those clubs who have a "women only" area. While this area doesn't have as much equipment, there is sufficient to meet the physical needs of most athletes... and this area does not have a dress code. When Ms Tupperware was approached, the staff member said if she wished to continue working out as currently dressed, that would not be an issue in the "women only" area.
When Ms Tupperware refused and started to emotionally elevate, the staff member withdrew to seek assistance from management. Ms Tupperware then used her smartphone to take pictures of the dress code which is prominently displayed on the wall. Apparently, Ms Tupperware was not aware of the video camera which overlooks that area. They have very good pictures of what she was wearing... and apparently her areolas were visible so no sports bra until the singlet.
By the time the staff member returned with the on-duty manager, Ms Tupperware had her boyfriend worked up to the point that he was raging out... so both of them were escorted off of the premises.
Apparently Movati are holding back the footage from the assorted video cameras scattered throughout the facility showing the antics of Ms Tupperware and her boyfriend as Ms T is quoted in the media as saying she intends to sue Movati for body-shaming her.
And the Ottawa Police are investigating the various threats they've received of everything from arson to death threats aganist staff members, mostly via telephone...0 -
Charming folks.0

I don't know which are worse... the Tupperware couple for being obnoxious liars OR the assorted social justice wankers, apparently from around the world, who've seized this unjust cause and are making azzhats of themselves. Apparently some of the voice messages being left are simply vile.Charming folks.1 -
I don't agree with the poor manners/threats/etc. nor apparently have I seen a photo of what she was actually wearing. I have three daughters of various "sizes". They can wear the same brand/type of tops and one of then no matter what she does, she shows cleavage. People really need to get over the fact that women have breasts. This would never be a problem in Europe. We are such prudes! OMG, you can see a nipple! Good grief!1

Agreed and then some...
I can see the need for a dress code if there is a safety issue or a hygiene issue. Otherwise, who cares?
That being said, the overreaction of the Tupperwares is at best humorous and at worst obnoxious. Most children grow out of attention seeking... and she's clearly no longer a child... The over-the-top reaction of the various social justice wankers makes me worry about the direction of society.0 -
People love "drama". I don't get it myself. Live and let live.1

To an extent, I have to love social media. It's a great way to stay in touch with certain people.
But there is a huge flaw in it. It brings together all the flat earthers, conspiracy theorists, and just plain old idiots into large groups. And then all the claims of discrimination, racism, poor me, shaming... all the crap that goes along with it.
People like this couple and those that support them are IMO taking away from the real injustices that happen to people. Maybe they should find a way to feed the starving instead of worrying about letting her puppies loose to be on display.3 -

Very much agreed. Social media provides a soapbox and some folks cannot resist the opportunity to make fools of themselves. I hope this cultural narcissism becomes more balanced before it destroys western civilization.0
