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!?
“OK, call the cops.” is what they should have said.
If you are ever in a situation that you need the cops; it is almost always in your best interest to be the one who calls. Cops are dumb AF and will blindly believe the reporting party unless things are extremely obvious otherwise.
Yup, the answer is always, "don't worry, I'll call them for you." But only if you absolutely have to call the cops. Otherwise, don't ever call the cops.
Yeah, the looney manager was clearly bluffing. I reckon withholding your driving licence would justify calling them. That can't be legal. I'm kind of baffled why they left it with him in the first place.
The source for this article is not great. Maybe OP should consider that before sharing it here.
It's even blocked by my spam and malware filter.
did AI write that article? what a mess of words
Newsbreak is essentially run by AI at this point.
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 quotes are all hearsay lol
Yea I wanna know how the general manager ended up with this guy’s ID.
Call them creeper glasses.
Pervert glasses is my favourite
Yeah, these are creeper glasses:
Touche
Mark Zuckerberg Creeper Glasses? :)
Zuckerberg Surveillance Pervert Glasses.
now we have fucking start putting signs to ban recording glasses too? fucking hell just be a decent human being so we don't have to drown in rules.
Generally recording at gyms is already prohibited, but this was the gym manager using them.
Yeah but soon users will start using them too and when confronted they will say they didn't know and then owners will have to start putting up signs because there is always some people that just lack the basic amount of common sense that is required to grasp this (on top of those who disobey it with bad faith).
Most gyms already have a "no photographs/videographs" sign, don't they?
Idiots will assume it doesn't mean their glasses.
I haven't seen in the one I am going to but I can imagine people having to put up that sign too...
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'm not sure how the glasses provide protection. Seems like corporate must get a constant stream of complaints and accusations about this bozo but recordings of him being such an ass would not really be much of a defense.
Cause the manosphere likes to tell every man that if they haven't been falsely accused of something, it's just a matter of time. So if they record everyone constantly, then they can "prove" that it was just a misunderstanding.
Of course, if the accusation is that they're been a creep and recording people without consent....
The title isn't even accurate to what happened
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".
I already work out at home, it's cheaper and there are no creepers.
Only thing I miss is the Sauna.
“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?
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.
I feel like stupid is consistent. Someone who is stupid will wear these glasses, and also act like the manager in this story.
From now on, I deem them to be known as, "PERVVISION"
