We all know that person who seems to think the world revolves around them, and nothing is more satisfying than watching them get a reality check. That’s probably why a recent viral post from TikToker Sir Carter has reached over 10 million views and nearly 2 million likes.

In the post, the Seattle-based content creator with more than 4 million followers catches a girl at the gym on camera when she asks him to stop staring at her. While filming himself singing, the other gym-goer approaches Sir Carter and can be heard saying, “Excuse me, I would appreciate it if you stopped looking at me.”

Sir Carter’s immediate off-the-cuff response has had social media bubbling with laughter: “Girl, if anything, I’m looking at your boyfriend.” Oops, apparently, she didn’t realize the TikToker is famously gay.

Interestingly, a number of people jumped into the comments to share similar stories. For example, one woman recounted an experience where another woman accused her of staring at her while daydreaming. The commenter said she was only interested in men, though.

Researchers actually have an explanation for why these staring mix-ups happen so often at the gym. According to a psychology study from the University of Mainz in Germany, people are more likely to sense they’re being watched when they’re active and subject to lots of stimuli, such as during physical exercise at a busy gym.

However, in this case, many also suspected the situation was more than just a misunderstanding—something else was going on.

Sir Carter goes on to say that she was actually the one staring at him and that he even caught her glancing at him and whispering something to her boyfriend. Several commenters speculated she had noticed her boyfriend checking out the TikToker and was jealous.

“Girl, if anything, I’m looking at your boyfriend,” Sir Carter quipped

“Her woman’s intuition told her her bf wanted you,” one person said, receiving over 40,000 likes. “She felt the boyfriend energy towards you and felt defeated,” said another.

There might be something to their theories because Sir Carter wraps up the story with a twist. After the girl left the gym, her boyfriend came up and asked if he could spot Sir Carter during the end of his workout. TikTok felt vindicated. “Oop, not the boyfriend coming up. She better reel him in before you get the catch,” read one top comment.

So, while the presumptuous gym-goer got brought back down to Earth, it was Sir Carter himself who got the ego boost. He finishes the video with a message to the woman. “Girl, if you watchin’ this, you better come back ’cause these double-decker glute workouts must be workin’!”

Another viral incident unfolded at the gym recently when influencer Natalie Reynolds faced criticism for wearing painted-on pants as part of a “social experiment,” leading to her being asked to leave the building. Natalie later issued an apology after attempting to shame the fellow gym-goer who deemed her workout attire “inappropriate.”

“That was the best ‘get over yourself’ I’ve ever heard,” a social media user commented

I have no idea who this guy is but even from the thumbnail I could tell where this was going. Don't think I've ever seen a straight guy with eyebrows that well maintained.

It's because of giant Bs like this that I am always either staring at my phone or my stopwatch at the gym. Look B, I'm not here to make friends or pick up chicks, I'm here to gain mass.

Two possibilities here. He was actually staring and waited for someone to call him out on it so he could make a video about his witty reply. Or the girl was in on it. Seems to me that this is how at least 95% of social media content is created.
