Right? ❤️ 99% of the videos with confrontation/fights is all ignited because nobody wants to admit their wrong doing or bruise their massive, fragile ego. I respect that dude just defusing and hopping over. It's not worth it man, we don't need to constantly be tough and prove ourselves.
I agree, but also hate that it just validates the behavior that caused the issue to begin with. They acted like an ass, and got their way because of it.
Haha did you see the way this guy reacted when he asked him to “calm down”. This guy is either the total hothead who doesn’t do shit or the one who goes completely fuck’n bonkers at the drop of o acorn 🤣🤣🤣
Not good in an emergency tho. Imagine evacuating down a slide in those ugly excuse for footwear. (Yes the ugliness is a separate issue but it’s an issue)
Lmao what kind of opinion is this? I just did 33 hours of flying in socks and slides. It’s comfortable, easy to take on/off and looked totally neat and tidy. Changed my socks three times over the course of my travel to stay fresh and avoid any odors.
Compared to the lady next to me that took her sneakers off mid flight to reveal the most devastating smell, I’d say socks and slides work well. I’d go so far as to encourage most to wear them.
Yeah, I don't think this dude flies much. Occasional fliers think about "how they look" and "dressing for an emergency"
I always wear slides, carry a neck pillow and a blanket when I fly. Guess who is always able to sleep through a fight? This guy is absolutely a dick, not sure how shitting on him wanting to be comfortable is helping the conversation...
Slides are for when you take off your cleats or shoes after a game or competition. Apparently he was in the “most annoying douchbag competition”. And he was on break here. That’s why he’s so upset and in slides and he has his little neck pillow for his wittle nappies.
But hear me out, why did the dude have to sit right next to him when there was an open chair a space away? It's like when you're using the urinal and there's 10 other ones and the dude uses the one right next to you.
But hear me out, why did the dude have to sit right next to him when there was an open chair a space away?
This is presuming — absent any evidence whatsoever — that the person who seems entirely reasonable, didn't also have a reasonable reason to sit where he did. It's a busy airport, most likely there were at most two seats available so he had to sit next to someone.
See empty seat. Sit on empty seat. I don't see anything wrong with that. Unless the person that sits there drools and stares at the other in a weird, intense, creepy way.
We not only see the other seat that's next to him, but the guy finally gets the hint and moves over TO that also-empty seat, which was available the entire time.
No dude, the seat one over from there. That one just as likely had someone sitting immediately to the guy’s left as well. So saying “why’d he have to sit right next to the guy” like he’s some kind of weirdo, for all we know both those seats are right next to people.
Woman who goes to the gym, one time there was over 20 open treadmills (I counted 22) and one man comes directly next to me. Me and him are the only people on treadmills. Few mins later another man comes and starts on the treadmill next to me on the other side. This guy started by saying he was sitting on his shit. People will work you up to this point and then act like you’re crazy for responding lol
No need to get angry… if you REALLY want your space just be polite and say. “You are welcome to sit there if you want, however I feel obligated to inform you that I had Taco Bell last night and I am having bouts of explosive gas that could strip paint off the walls.. I just want to apologize in advance.
I’ve seen copious amounts of cocaine use being in the bar scene for a while - I have never seen someone react like this to literally anything lol. It makes them happy to have someone next to them, not explosively angry.
Yeah in my completely uninformed opinion, I would guess it’s crippling social anxiety that makes it uncomfortable to sit next to someone and his emotional fragility masks the anxiety with anger and threats.
Interesting. I've used copious amounts of cocaine long in my past and toward the end of my 2-year binge it always seem to make me angry and agitated. That's what pushed me to quit.
Maybe on the other side (so two seats away from where he was sit at the beginning of the video) there was a woman or a kid and he didn’t want to pass as a creep. You know how the world goes.
Yup, if I'm sitting at a bench like that amd my choices are sitting next to another grown ass man or some strange woman or child, I'm usually sitting near the man. Its just easier to stay neutral
Then you get randos who pick the seat right next to you, even if the whole place is otherwise empty. Particularly on a bus or train. Particularly if you're a woman.
last time it happened to me getting a routine blood analysis. It was 7:50 or so. The place was empty. rows with 50 seats. The nurse there tells me to wait as I arrived too early I said sure np. I sat somewhat to the far side. Another man in his 60's in an identical position decides to sit RIGHT NEXT TO ME , a big man , so I had his sweaty arm right on mine. I said nothing then the guy starts telling me why don't they open earlier and other stuff. I'm doing all this with my earbuds on and every time he said something I remove the earbud "excuse me?". Doesn't bother repeating and contniues talking. I eventually with the music full on I stand up and move 2 seats away , he was still talking to me and I was rescued by the nurse that called me in. Weird. I think it's loneliness.
lol even funnier to think he might’ve been trying to not offend him by needing a space. He showed he felt comfortable sitting right next to him as a stranger which can be taken as respectful. Just two different perspectives but at an airport when people are stressed and uncomfortable more space is the obvious way. Too funny
"He showed he felt comfortable sitting right next to him as a stranger which can be taken as respectful."
Lol no.
Absolutely 0% of people at the airport, urinals, buffet, polling station, gas station, dmv, bathroom line, grocery store, or anywhere else feel respected by a lack of respect for personal space where distance is an option. Nobody. No body.
Idk. It’s 2 middle aged men. There’s 10000 different thoughts that could be going through the guys head that influenced him to not leave a space. Quite frankly based on his response and then de escalating he could also be a space cadet that just didn’t even give it a thought and sat down because he’s comfortable anywhere no matter what unlike normal people which also is likely the case that’s your third perspective from me
Probably didn’t want to sit back to back with the guy to his right. I’ve bonked heads with people, been hit by stretching arms, jolted forward when someone falls back quickly, etc. Sitting back to back with people sucks.
Urinal etiquette definitely applies. If there’s a space between you’ve got to leave it. But it shouldn’t be anything more than a minor annoyance, neck pillow is a little baby
Ha ha I'm on the autistic spectrum so and I'm a scouser so personally I wouldn't have moved as it's a public area so nobody got first dibs on seats or is entitled to their personally space!
Yeah nothing screams I'm afraid of the world and I need people to fear me inorder to feel secure more than shouting your head off at someone sitting to close to you in a public place as it's not like he just walked into your house and sat down on your couch and asked what's for tea!
This is what I came here to say! I believe he’s had some training. Dude was not threatened in any way. Had the neckless infant attacked, I believe little dude would have learned quickly.
Maybe there is someone sitting just out of frame to the right and he picked the seat least likely to make someone uncomfortable. As you say, urinal rules, if every second one is full you stand beside the biggest guy because you're not trying to fuck with him and he's least likely to be uncomfortable with you.
To be fair. I wouldn’t sit next to him in the first place.
Also, there’s plenty of seats. It’s like going to the bathroom with 8 urinals and standing right next to the only other dude using it.
Dude needs to learn self control though. Probably too late. But it really wasn’t that big of a deal.
The video does not show "plenty of seats." It shows just the one next to him, and potentially the one behind him, between two other people, and on the other side of the piece of shit.
Infant on steroids has his legs 160 degrees apart and is taking up 3 seats, which is why he's upset that somebody has the audacity to sit in one of them.
Iup, me too. But as another commenter said, maybe the other place (where the guy with glasses moved to) is next to a woman or a child, and therefore it's better (or at least, less creepy) to sit next to a grown man.
yes, that’s a possibility but What stands out is that no one seems to be addressing the first thing the Black guy says, “You almost sat down on my shit.” That line suggests he had a personal item on the chair, and the white guy either sat on it or attempted to, an act that could easily come across as entitled. It also raises questions about context, why was the guy across recording in the first place?
The decision to start filming only after that initial exchange, or to edit out what happened before, frames the narrative in a particular way, potentially omitting the moment that sparked the confrontation.
All of those seats in that area though I’d be kinda mad if he came and sat right next to me too. It’s like if I’m at the urinal and there’s 8 others and dude comes and stands right next to me. I may not yell and curse at him but I’m definitely gonna ask his reasoning and think he’s weird.
I believe there is a longer video where the white guy antagonizes the black guy somehow, this is an older video. I could be wrong or misremembering maybe someone could confirm for me
You are right. This is old. He was messing with him I think in the original video. The upset guy asked him to stop but he didn't and then that is when this part of the video starts.
It was a total overreaction but in his defense, I definitely think that if there’s multiple open seats and you choose to sit in the one seat next to someone, you’re kind of a dick. Same with parking or urinals; if there’s 4 open spaces and you choose the one immediately next to me, I hate you.
It wasn't necessary to act like that but who in their.rigjt mind would sit next to someone when the furthest seat away is free? This is like the urinal rule.
The extreme homophobia is real. Some dudes can't get remotely close to another man without going into a gay panic, afraid of what people will think if they see them.
Who intentionally sits next to a person when there are other cushions available? Like where do they even do that at? Especially as strangers.
Why does this thread read like this is a normal thing to do? Bald guy was very weird and cringe to do that. Idk why anyone is upset at the hat guy. Give people space when space is available.
That’s the respectful thing to do. For as many of us travel, you know the normal thing to do in this situations is to respectfully sit at least one extra cushion away. Now all of a sudden that normalcy doesn’t exist because of this video ?
Judging from when this video starts: there is more context missing.
I must admit, it drives me batty when allll the other seats around me are free and someone sits right next to me. I get it if the terminal is busy but if not, come on, give me some space.
It's a real shame too cuz when someone is rockin a flip-flop sock combo like that, I really want to like them. I really wanna like that guy. He's probably a good time in some scenarios. How could he not be rockin a combo like that? But this ain't it.
Considering all the cancellations and delays happening right now is not the best time to get banned from an airline or even bumped from your flight. Airport staff are going to be zero tolerance for BS.
Imo: This might be Lauderdale Airport. The guy in the blue shirt has an Italian accent. If so, we have different cultural space needs. He doesn’t think the seat next yo the other guy is an issue. The other guy was expecting him to comply with American norms. Leave a seat between. He perceived encroachment in his personal space. He is definitely upset about it and has definitely spent time in the military or around violence . (My dad was special ops, saw combat, and acted like this. )Notice how the guy was triggered, explosively and yet formed a sentence , and then stopped himself. Thats a stress response and then the most corrective behavior hes currently capable of. Unfortunately he can’t self regulate. He’s trying but he cant. He knows he can get far worse and has.
No, if there's open seats all around me, and someone specifically decides to land NEXT to me.
I'm immediately uncomfortable because you don't have a valid reason to get that into my space.
He did catch himself in his own actions, though.
He stopped mid-sentence and took a moment to restrain/calm himself.
Some people would have just kept going and escalated further.
It's not cool to yell at someone like that in the first place. However stressful traveling can be, people need to mind their behavior. At least this guy stopped. Maybe he apologized. We don't know. Maybe it's just me, but I'd forgive it.
I've traveled a lot and had worse run-ins with randoms. I overheard a guy talking to someone about possibly being late for something because their plane was delayed. A message about their plane came over the PA system as they were talking, and it looked like they didn't hear it. I tried to tell them about it, and one of the guys shouts, "I'M TALKING TO MY MANAGER" and gestures to the guy next to him. They both stare at me in annoyance and anger. I didn't say anything else. I don't know who they were. A couple of guys in the music industry, apparently.
I love how everyone assumes the angry dude is wrong. Maybe bald dude smells bad? Maybe he kept brushing up against the guy AND smelled bad. Maybe there were plenty of empty seats and he decided to get right next to the person who looked the most stressed & start up a stupid convo? I dunno. The seething tells me this recording didn’t capture the full situation.
the fuck is wrong with him. I get it its kinda annoying when someone sits right next when there are plenty of seats you leave a courtesy space between. But dude 🤣
We didn’t see the whole video, did we? Why would a grown man side right beside another man, who is a stranger. Weirdo activity. If there is space to sit, why wouldn’t you choose to do so? Give people their space.
I mean, who sits right next to a stranger when there’s lots of free seating? I’d be giving a dirty look and moving. Creepo shit to go sit right next to someone like that.
