TikTok star Sir Carter found himself in the spotlight recently after a gym encounter turned heads and prompted him to deliver an excellent response that has since gone viral on the popular social media platform.
In a video shared on December 20, which has amassed over 10 million views, Sir Carter documented the incident with the caption, "GIRL you dont have the right “facilities” fa me."
In the video, Carter can be seen working out with his headphones on, exchanging a friendly glance and smile with a woman using the adjacent exercise machine.
However, what began as a seemingly harmless interaction took an unexpected turn when the woman interrupted Carter's workout. She said, "Hey, excuse me, I would appreciate it if you stopped staring at me."
Carter, known for his quick wit, responded without missing a beat, "Girl, if anything, I’m looking at your boyfriend."
He later shared in a separate part of the video, filmed in his car, that after his retort, the woman's boyfriend approached him and asked if Carter could spot him at the end of his workout.
The video quickly gained traction, and viewers were astounded by Carter's clever and swift response to defuse the situation.
One impressed observer commented, "If anything i‘m lookin‘ at your boyfriend".... She was SILENCED."
Another chimed in, saying, "Oop she better watch her man’s."
A third person humorously noted, "It’s the audacity for me, like gurrrllll, now you've lost your man."
Sir Carter's ability to handle the unexpected encounter with humor and grace resonated with many, earning him even more admiration from his dedicated TikTok following.
Even gym TikTok commentator Joey Swoll had a lighthearted reaction, simply laughing and remarking that he wouldn't touch that situation.
A while back, Swoll offered up his commentary on a situation captured in a video after a woman accused a man of being an example of her "biggest gym pet peeve."
In the original clip, TikToker @xandrafittt can be seen stepping up to squat on the smith machine. As she prepares to start her set, someone off-camera interrupts to ask how much longer she'll be on the machine.
The woman - who is clearly annoyed - takes her headphones off and responds before getting back to her exercise. She shared the clip with text overlay explaining that people asking how long she'll be on machines is "my biggest gym pet peeve."
Swoll had strong opinions on the video - so much so that he reshared it with his own commentary included at the end, in which he blasted the woman for being rude.
"This man did nothing wrong. There is absolutely nothing wrong with somebody asking you politely how many sets you have left. This man was trying to get your attention you were setting up your camera you hadn't started your set yet, he went as far as to even say I'm sorry for bothering you," said Swoll.
"He didn't deserve your smirk he didn't deserve your attitude and he definitely didn't deserve to be posted to your social media as an example of what bad gym etiquette is. The only bad gym etiquette here is you. People ask me all the time how many sets I have left. I go as far as to say would you like to work in with me. You don't have to do that but you need to respect people," he continued.
Swoll concluded by making the point that the gym was a communal area, in which everyone has as much of a right to equipment as each other. "It's a shared space. You don't own the gym your name is not on it. Until it is I suggest you mind your own business, be better than that," he said.
