I imagine that some people are quite self conscious at the gym and worry about everyone staring at them but the reality is that nobody really cares and that if you think someone is looking at you, then they probably aren’t.

This was brutally illustrated in the following story in which Pete Gustin was callout at his gym for being a creepy and ogling a woman through his session at the gym. Trouble is, Pete Gustin is blind so there’s absolutely no way that he could have done that.

Here’s what Gustin had to say about the incidents:

I’m blind. If you know what those two words mean, then you’re much smarter than the girl who was screaming at me at the gym,

I’m standing there doing a tricep pushdown exercise and since I can’t see I’m just kind of staring off into space doing my thing.

Half-way through a set I start hearing footsteps that seem like they’re coming in my direction getting closer and closer.

Until all of a sudden, this woman is right up in my face going ‘I didn’t come here to be stared at’. ‘Ohhhh, I’m sorry, I’m blind’, I say to her.

She said she didn’t care about my blindness and ordered me to stop staring at her.

Wow that guy’s got a cool voice hasn’t he? Anyway this story is really stupid, the guy’s blind so he clearly wasn’t staring at her and when he explained and proved this to the manager then they really should have apologised and gone about their days. I’m sure that Gustin probably would have agreed to look in the other direction as well if they had just been a bit nicer and understanding about it too. Some people are full on idiots.
