A woman’s mortifying moment at the gym may have ended up working out in her favor if TikTok romantics are to be believed. After an embarrassing encounter with her gym crush, a Las Vegas woman vowed never to return to the fitness center again. But was her core memory a love story in the making?
What happened at the gym?
TikToker Alexa (@alexaabney69) films her viral TikTok from inside her car. “Oh my god, oh my god, I have to cancel my gym membership,” she begins. Alexa shares how she arrived at her gym that morning, “wrestling” with the hoodie she’s currently wearing. According to her, she was trying to put it on as she walked toward the building when she noticed her “gym crush” behind her.
“This is gonna be a great f–ing day,” Alexa says she thought.
How wrong she was.
As Alexa scans her barcode to get in, she says her crush comes up behind her.
“I’ve never talked to him before, he’s just somebody I like to look at,” Alexa clarifies. Then her crush tells her, “Ma’am, I think you dropped something.”
Alexa figured she probably dropped her credit card or something along those lines, and asked him where it was. The man looked “uncomfortable” and told her she dropped it near her car.
“I was right behind you, I saw it fall out of your sleeve,” Alexa says the man told her. However, the man “didn’t know” what the item was.
Puzzled as to why he didn’t just pick up the item and hand it to her, Alexa says she followed him to the parking lot at his request.
When Alexa notices the black cloth item, she immediately knew what it was.
“I go down to pick it up, it is a black lace thong,” Alexa says.
How did her underwear land in the parking lot?
Alexa then recalls how she did laundry yesterday and the thong must’ve been stuck in the sleeve of her hoodie.
“I guess I pushed [the thong] out of my sleeve, and he was right behind me,” the TikToker says. “Like no wonder he didn’t pick it up. Who would pick that up?”
She concludes, “That is so embarrassing. I can’t ever show my face here again.”
Viewers are rooting for her
Despite Alexa’s gargantuan embarrassment, many of her viewers saw it as a strategy to win over her gym crush. All she had to do was play her cards right.
“I bet 20$ he’s talking to you everyday from now on!” one wrote. “So you awkwardly did yourself a favor.” Another viewer called it the “2020s version of the woman dropping her handkerchief.”
Other viewers gave advice on how Alexa can bag her gym crush.
“So hear me out. Go up to him at the gym and say something witty like Hey, thanks for being so cool about the situation. Would you like to go out for lunch, and before you answer I promise to check my sleeves before we go out!”
One user echoed, “girl that’s when you say ‘if you wanna see me in it one day here’s my number’ LMAO.”
