Would you be suspicious of someone wearing an ankle monitor?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43698points) April 19th, 2023

I have been wearing ankle and arm weights for a few months and I can see noticeable health improvements. My arms and legs are stronger, and my stamina has increased.
I’ve been wearing the weights under my clothes so they’re not visible.
The other day I was at a buffet. When I got up from the table to reload my plate, unbeknownst to me, my pants leg caught on one of the weights exposing it. Apparently the guy carving the meat saw the weight and, I can only assume, thought it was a security ankle monitor. He behaved a little differently to me after that – not as chatty as he was before he’d seen it. There was little eye contact.

Would you act differently if you saw someone with a device you assumed was an ankle monitor?
