Your story shows rather well how "perception" is no more important than reality, facts, truth, etc. in today's American society.
The blind man's "stare" is now an act of aggression against the woman.
Rather than accommodate the blind man, she became the victim and demanded something be done on her behalf.

The manager could be in for a big surprise in case the blind man files an ADA suit against the gym.


Damn Straight Skippy! It’s about time those with disabilities BITE back!

I am sure that this started before the virus. It seems more of The Stupids came out of their caves and hoped that others wouldn’t notice.


If they don't want to be noticed, why do they make so much noise?

It's like Ron White says"YOU CANT FIX STUPID". how about the blind guy walking with his cane down the pier saying"EXCUSE ME LADYS,EXCUSE ME".

My Mom used to say: There are none so blind as those who just will not see.

Blind or not what's the matter with staring? Too paranoid.

I understand. Welcome to the Land Of The Stupids.
Here is an excellent example. I was invited by my sister to her birthday party. She asked if I would bring my camera to photograph. I jumped at the opportunity. It was a particularly dark restaurant. We all were enjoying ourselves when a waitress came over to me. She said the people at the other tables were getting upset because my flash was disturbing them. I glanced at my camera, noticing I didn’t place a flash on the hot shoe and I said I’ll be more careful. A short while later a waiter came over to me and claimed that other patrons were disturbed by my flash. Now annoyed, I told him to stop bothering me. A manager came over to me and told me my flash was disturbing the patrons and he himself. I then explained that I do not have a flash, and explained where it should be placed, I explained that I know how to use a camera and told him to stop annoying me. He should be asking those with cell phones to ask people to stop photographing.
I rarely use a flash and am likely to dial up my ISO. I should have shown the staff at the restaurant what a flash looks like and attached it to a portion of their body.
Another example is I was paying my subway train fare. A woman behind me tapped me on the shoulder and motioned I should move aside. I told her to wait her turn and she can ride the amusement ride too!
People in general are not content with observing or listening to others. I am starting to believe that the recent virus affected everyone’s brains too.
I understand. Welcome to the Land Of The Stupids. ... (show quote)


In low light, if your camera has a "focus assist" feature, it looks like a flash is going off. This may be what they were seeing. You have to turn this feature off so they won't be bothered.

There are some who would object if we did that now!
Remember, witches are an endangered species
