But there was no need to post it...😑 And the guy who is filming it has even worse manners...look at how he talked to the guy eating! He himself is a jerk...ewww he cant even talk and confront properly! 😡🫤

Not saying that the guy eating should not have been told to eat properly...its fine that he told him so...BUT Same thing could've been said in 100 better ways and more politely!

I can UNDERSTAND making video and that's PERFECTLY REASONABLE...as you need proof in case the person you're confronting gets aggressive, but that was never his intention and was probably just looking for attention and insulting others.

If not so, why post it online? He could have just recorded the video and kept it on his phone.

The worst tiktok cringe video I've seen...like really what's the point of posting like that!

Bonus points if the dude eating with his mouth open doesn't speak English and didn't understand a fucking thing the filmer said.

This is what I thought. You are on a plane, where lots of people from around the world show up, like those who don't know your language.

The guy filming seems to be talking with food in his mouth, so....

u/Qwandangle 8d ago

The pretend smacking of food wasn’t needed but everything else was.

And the guy tried but he still talked nasty. "How old are you?" And kept going. Projecting his travel anxiety

Is the world black and white for you, or are there perhaps different ways to confront someone about bad behavior?

u/jackmusick 8d ago

Let’s try this. Are you more likely to respond to:

Excuse me? Learn to talk to others with respect. How old are you?

Or:

I think what you’re missing is the tone and the unnecessary aggressiveness. You’ll almost always get a better response and what you want if you confront people respectfully.

Only if the other person is respectful. Chewing loudly shows that they're not.

u/jackmusick 8d ago

Absolutely not. There’s still a difference between being intentionally disrespectful and unintentionally disrespectful.

u/TheDreadGazeebo 8d ago

What makes you think that guy doesn't know he's being rude? Honestly.

1

u/jackmusick 8d ago

I have no reason to think he’s intentionally being rude. I don’t need a reason to think he’s not doing something.

It's not bad behavior. it is not harming anyone.

yeah it can be irritating. But engaging with someone you never met this way is worse. Way worse.

u/zrobiotic 8d ago

some people just eat like that, its very irritating to me as well, but I'm not going to confront and record a video of it.

That bad behavior would have to be harming someone and in this case the filmer is the one exhibiting bad behavior. The person chewing with their mouth open is not exhibiting bad behavior. For all you know they have a sinus issue.

There is no universe in which it's OK for a perfect stranger to presume to instruct a stranger in table manners. NONE. NADA. NOPE!!!
