I decide to check my email tonight as I’m walking home from a workout class. Walking while checking the phone, I admit, is a little precarious. However, odds are I’m just going to mark all as read and be done with it.
However, in my email I see an email from Orange Theory saying, “Here’s Your Receipt.” Ummm. What? I immediately open the email. There it gets even weirder. It’s a receipt for a 10 session pack as shown below.
Now, I haven’t been to an Orange Theory class in a while, and I most certainly have not bought anything. Luckily, the credit card number doesn’t ring a bell with any of mine. Maybe “Matthew” accidentally somehow sent this email to me. I decide to open my app and have to log-in to my account… still while walking… to see if these classes are in my account.
Okay… there are ten classes there. Man, Matthew must’ve really messed up. He added classes to my account when someone else paid? Someone is going to be missing the classes they paid for.
The thought DOES cross my mind to just take the classes and run, but I decide to be the bigger person and call up the Orange Theory and let them know about the error.
“Hello, this is Matthew speaking.”
“Omg, Matthew. Hi. I just received an email and I think you might have made a mistake and accidentally added classes to my account?”
He laughs. “No, that wasn’t a mistake.”
“Oh. What?” I say.
“Let’s just say, you have a secret admirer.”
Long story short, my friends decided to get me Orange Theory classes as a birthday present. And I tried to return it. Whoops. Definitely gave me and my man Matthew a laugh, though.
