An utterly stupid alarm in Planet Fitness gyms that goes off when people are "too loud" and therefore "making the other people in the building 'uncomfortable.'"
There are numerous problems with the "Lunk Alarm" that make it not only idiotic, but also extremely dangerous:
1. The alarm can be triggered by the sound of people grunting or racking weights, which is to be expected in a gym. Also, in a viral Youtube video, it was revealed that merely dropping a PEN on the ground triggers it. "Really? A pen?"
2. The alarm is VERY LOUD, like an air raid siren. It's also very abrupt, which can startle people and make them drop their weights, potentially causing serious injuries.
3. In a gym that takes pride in not judging people, this alarm is judgmental by definition. "Lunk" is short for "Lunkhead," which is a derogatory term for someone who is slow-witted or stupid.

Numerous Youtube commenters have pointed out the stupidity and dangerousness of the Lunk Alarm:
~ "Planet Fitness is the only gym that doesn't like you going to the gym."
~ "It’s ironic how Planet Fitness claims to be 'judgement free' but it’s literally the only gym out there with an alarm based on judgement."
~ "The Lunk Alarm is the equivalent of a librarian telling people to shut up through a bullhorn."
~ "Planet Fitness isn't a gym, it's a library with weights."
~ "TheLunk Alarm is specifically made to judge you for making noise and make you feel bad, and to insult you, lunk is short for lunkhead which means slow-witted person, so basically they're calling you slow-witted because you're exercising. what a judgement free zone. Also because we're human the loud noise will startle us if we're not expecting it and someone can get hurt, maybe even sent to the ER."

Get the Algaromi mug.Damon Albarn, (born March 23, 1968 in Leytonstone, London), is an English vocalist and keyboardist who initially gained fame as the lead singer of rock band Blur. Though Blur has not disbanded, of late Albarn has been more active as a member of Gorillaz and as a solo artist.
Albarn had a long-standing relationship with Elastica frontwoman Justine Frischmann. His involvement with her profoundly influenced his songwriting in Blur in the late 1990s. "Beetlebum," opening track and chart-topping hit single from Blur, is said to be about Frischmann's heroin addiction. 13, Blur's sixth album, presents strong overtones brought about by their break-up. He now lives in Notting Hill, London with artist Suzi Winstanley, and their daughter Missy was born in 1999.
That's what the officials say.
In my opinion, he is just the hottest man alive.

She tends to overthink generally every situation despite her overthinking she doesn’t hesitate to say her opinion on a situation and she will verbally attack you if you get on her nerves. Alara is someone at first may think is rude and ignorant but once you get to know her she is the most gorgeous and sweet person you ever could meet.
