Starts to feel like a wave of this kind of BS is hitting the world.
The source for this article is not great. Maybe OP should consider that before sharing it here.
While the glasses are definitely a problem, this seems to be more about the general manager just being an utter cunt.
“At this point, my friend’s husband’s getting frustrated, and he’s like, ‘You need to give me my ID back,’” Marilyn said. “The GM threatens to call the cops on my friend’s husband and threatens to ban him.”
“OK, call the cops.” is what they should have said.
which resulted in her considering other gyms entirely.
Considering!?
From now on, I deem them to be known as, “PERVVISION”
Dickhead with glasses for no real reason vrs victim content creator
Trash TV
did AI write that article? what a mess of words
I don’t think newsbreak expects people to actually move past the headline and read the article because most of it is incoherent bullshit.
The title isn’t even accurate to what happened
I have a hard time believing this story. The woman claims she brought her friend in on a guest pass but then when there’s an issue, that friend’s husband appears in the story out of nowhere and happend to be there working out at the exact same time under his own membership? The claimed over-the-top responses by the manager and the fact that she then deleted her post makes this all very fishy.
The gym already has security cameras, the fuck does he mean the glasses are for his “protection”?
He means like a condom. If he doesn’t record women at the gym for some spank bank material, he might get someone pregnant.
I’d imagine that in that job—if you’re not a perfectly fit young dude or a woman—there’s a lot of accusations of “being a creep.”
Imagine you’re the guy working that job and someone complains that there’s a mess in the women’s locker room. What do you do?
You ask a woman if there’s anyone else in there, maybe shout that you’re coming in to clean it up, etc. Then you walk into the women’s locker room and someone—anyone—sees a man walking into the women’s locker room. BAM! Instant creep status.
Are Meta’s glasses the answer? Fuck no! But I understand the “I need protection from accusations” argument.
What’s the alternative? Cameras in the locker room? Hidden cameras?
The guy probably thought that the glasses were big, ugly, and obvious (because they are) so no one could complain that they didn’t know they could be recorded in that guy’s presence.
“He’s like, ‘Hey, you know, what happened with my wife earlier?’ The general manager then responded, saying, ‘Do you wanna get bonk with me?’ Like, do you wanna fight?” she recalls.
Is this what passes for a manager these days?
Call them creeper glasses.
Pervert glasses is my favourite
Yeah, these are creeper glasses:
Touche
Mark Zuckerberg Creeper Glasses? :)
I saw an article the other day about women in Spain not sunbathing topless anymore because of all the “nudify” apps and pervert glasses. Are gyms going to be next? And I mean “going to the gym”, not “working out topless”.
