A man who is legally blind was accused of "staring" at a woman while working out at the gym.

She allegedly started "screaming" at him as a result.

Pete Gustin is a social media influencer whose low vision has not stopped him from "living a life without boundaries."

Nine months ago he recounted a story about an encounter with a woman at the gym.

That YouTube video has recently gone viral.

Gustin explained:

"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."

The woman dismissed what Gustin told her and continued, yelling:

"I don't care. Stop staring."

He said the woman then "stormed off" and returned with the manager.

Gustin then reached into his wallet and retrieved his Massachusetts Commission for the Blind ID card and explained once more, this time to the manager, he was blind and "wasn't staring at anybody."

The manager's response was:

"Okay, but you still can't make other gym members feel uncomfortable by looking at them."

Dumbfounded YouTubers mocked the individuals in the encounter.

If Gustin's voice sounded familiar, that's because you've probably heard his voice-over work on various television networks, including limited to CBS, Fox News, ESPN, NFL, Cartoon Network, Fox and Comedy Central.

In addition to doing voice-over work and being an on-screen actor, Gustin is an avid surfer, skateboarder, and wakeboarder–activities which can be seen on his Blind Surfer Pete Gustin YouTube channel with over 1.31 million subscribers and counting.

The Trump Administration Just Canceled Major Funding For Alzheimer's Research Due To 'DEI'—And People Are Beyond Furious

Back in March 2025, it was revealed that the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump had slashed funding for Alzheimer’s research as part of their purge of all things diversity, equity, or inclusion (DEI) related.

It was also later revealed that most of the cuts were done by Elon Musk's untrained, unqualified Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) personnel—who couldn't define or describe diversity, equity, or inclusion even after making $16.5 billion of initially listed cuts across 1,127 cancelled or adjusted federal contracts because of "DEI"—using AI filters.

Video Of McDonald's Worker Dropping Food On Floor Before Putting It Back On Tray Sparks Food Safety Debate

We've all heard of the "five-second rule," where when you drop a piece of food on a safe surface, you can still eat it if you've picked it back up within five seconds. Most people won't bat an eye at this when they're at home or with friends, again, if the food is dropped in a safe and clean location, like on a kitchen counter while making a plate.

But a floor really should never be included among the safe and clean surface options, especially when that floor is in a public space, and the five-second rule shouldn't even exist in food service spaces.
