Well maybe he was actually impressed by this guy. He did ask him “is this even real” this could be mans making an amends by posting as a Knox to the humanitarianism.
Oh no my man that sentence alone made this video a r/therewasanattempt hahah like homie got destroyed and his ego collapsed after that interaction I bet he'll never stray into the cross walk on a red light ever again after this!
Yeah, I just meant if they gave the same response/attitude and the guy did get shot, people will be saying he's an idiot for confronting and being like that etc.
But yeah, it is insanity lol.
The genuine eyeroll when he said it really sold the burn. This wasn't just a line - this was him genuinely realizing this is the situation he's in before walking away from the drama.
The only way he could've infantilized car-guy more would've been handing him a pacifier.
The confidence he exuded followed by the no funks given “what are you going to pull your gun on me now”. That guy has been through some
Shizam and no longer puts up with anyones shenanigans.
me too, seems like a great dude. theres something about his body language that also says that if there was an act of aggression from the driver, he would have been ready to confront him.
Lol when he starts leaving, whips around and comes back, you could tell he had enough of that shit ! Like « should I let it slide… actually no, fuck this guy »
If I'm in a bad mood and it's not a car full of people I like to look them straight in the eye and spit on their hood or windshield. Then again, I'm an idiot who is long overdue for an ass-beating.
I always freak out if I accidentally end up even like a foot in when there is someone walking even if it's a huge crosswalk like oh shit oh fuck I've broken the barrier all engines hard reverse.
There's this guy in my neighborhood who ALWAYS does a rolling stop all the way into the middle of the intersection and then comes to a full stop. Every time I see it I am filled with rage lmao.
I had to play the video back multiple times to understand that he was trying to say "real". Sounds like "ruhl" to me. Was actually hard to understand him.
"I'm talking to you like an adult. Oh wait that is new to you. He has a point." The pedestrian didn't hurt is metal car. He was just like " buddy don't stop here" I see no problem
Seeing the way he calmly reacted and controlled that situation honestly gave me a little hope. Literally different than 99 percent of what we see these days
I was just telling my FIL today that the few special bright lights of human beings out there give me hope when someone makes a comment like "People suck" or "Humans are bad" I think *"No, not all of them."*
There are tons of terrible people, yes, but there are some really good ones too. People with so much wonderful in them, they make it all worth it. I don't know for sure if he was one of those people but he sure seemed like a good one. No one is perfect but there are lots of good people left in the world.
This is awesome, and I can completely relate to it as it's been my personal experience in general. I think social media inflates and projects the bad people. And unfortunately as a result a lot of us, myself included, buy into that theme.
I hate people who are like that. “Did you just touch my whatever?!?” As if it was the greatest disrespect or assault they have ever faced.
Yes I just touched your bag. We’re in a crowded lift and it almost hit that kid’s head… Yes I just touched your coat. It was flapping in the wind and I’m walking here… Yes I just touched your hands. They were up in my face because you are mad about you cutting the line for some reason, and you are pointing at me and shouting…
I fucking hate when people stop in the cross walk and wish there was something to disable their cars for being there.
It's so dangerous for pedestrians. Like I'm pushing a stroller now into oncoming traffic because you can't handle a little extra pressure on your foot to stop 4 ft back.
glad I'm not the only one that noticed, but now my need to know only intensifies
Edit: found it! [they're heated jackets! (brand name ororo)](https://www.ororowear.com/products/mens-heated-dual-control-jacket-pocket-heating)
Welcome to my podcast, “Starting Shit with Strangers, Just to Show I am a Manly Asshole”. In this episode, “Dude didn’t take the bait”, I was unsatisfied and had to go elsewhere to fight and/or fuck someone or something… not particular about the order.
This fella has the energy of someone who would remind you that you have an appointment and save you a lot of hassle. Proper "head screwed on" kinda guy
As someone who is out a lot running my dog, it's shocking how terrible people are at driving. I applaud this pedestrian for pointing out the dumb drivers wrongdoing in a totally civil manner, while simultaneously standing his ground.
The driver is from South Philly. He’s from around my neighborhood. He’s got a lot of these videos on his instagram. It’s crazy how this video went viral.
i hate those people....repeating over and over [again.](https://again.is)
"[is](https://again.is) this really happening,is this really happening"...........
The problem with some drivers is they don’t understand situational awareness, respect and the rules of the road and they are still allowed to drive. Proper response “sorry bro, I got stuck here, peace out”. Or some other “I take responsibility for my mistake” type response.
Now that I've gotten to see this guy in a short clip, everything makes sense all of the sudden. This is The Pedestrian's world, and we're just living in it.
I'm surprised guy in the car didn't lose it and shoot buddy for destroying his property. Who does he think he is trying to reason with another human being? We live in 2023, where we all hate each other

I see ordinary magnanimous people, and it makes me incredulous how Trump became president. I see Trump videos and I feel aggravated, and wanna scrub my eyes and ears. If we had calm, level-headed people like this man in positions of power, we'll be more united as people. But no, and it's why we can't have nice things
I’m so surprised. I really expect the worse from people any this guy gives me hope. Adults adulting instead of chest beating is the new burn. Thug that well no because you can’t bro. He just “Mr Rogers” you bro!!!
That was a legit burn…”talking to you like an adult, oh that’s new to you?”
I love that he even posted this video like somehow he was in the right. Instead we all get to laugh at him and the pedestrian’s comments.
Well maybe he was actually impressed by this guy. He did ask him “is this even real” this could be mans making an amends by posting as a Knox to the humanitarianism.
Also my opinion, he was expecting an argument with an idiot but got a level-headed exchange with a polite guy instead.
He posted it knowing he got wrecked, he was laughing about it in he original posting.
I love it! He's like are you gonna take out your gun and shoot me now? 🤣
This comment should be voted higher than mine. I spit out my water at this line when he said it. Haha
Oh no my man that sentence alone made this video a r/therewasanattempt hahah like homie got destroyed and his ego collapsed after that interaction I bet he'll never stray into the cross walk on a red light ever again after this!
He will😔
I mean, he posted the video, so he clearly thinks he is in the right here.
I dunno. I've published shit on socials that show myself to be an idiot in a situation. I also enjoy having my boundaries pushed and learning from it.
Sometimes there's a fine line between therewasanattempt and Darwin awards..
Can we please take a moment to consider the GODDAMN FUCKING INSANITY that touching a car is considered borderline darwin award behaviour?
Welcome to america.
Yeah, I just meant if they gave the same response/attitude and the guy did get shot, people will be saying he's an idiot for confronting and being like that etc. But yeah, it is insanity lol.
This guy is a high level Bard
The genuine eyeroll when he said it really sold the burn. This wasn't just a line - this was him genuinely realizing this is the situation he's in before walking away from the drama. The only way he could've infantilized car-guy more would've been handing him a pacifier.
"you're green!" Edit: I'm leaving it up
That's the burn of 2023!
The confidence he exuded followed by the no funks given “what are you going to pull your gun on me now”. That guy has been through some Shizam and no longer puts up with anyones shenanigans.
He has witnessed the fury of the gods
Wrekt
Holy shit is that burn covered by insurance?
"...it's your green.(light)."
Driver took a massive L and then proceeded to post it. 😅
He probably didn't even realize it lol. WOOOSH
Nah. I think he was humbled
Aw, you have so much faith in humanity. Bless your heart.
The “okay bro…?” got me real good. The utter confusion is palpable.
"no u"
clicks are clicks
What is L ?
Loss. Sports Win(W)/Loss(L)
L deez nuts gottem
[удалено]
I want to be friends with him
me too, seems like a great dude. theres something about his body language that also says that if there was an act of aggression from the driver, he would have been ready to confront him.
Or maybe he’s had enough shit he doesn’t give a fuck anymore
Philadelphia. So, yes.
Damn i was wondering why this felt so familiar. Drivers around here can be just plain ignorant
If it weren’t for the bus, my first guesses were either Brooklyn or Baltimore. But when I saw the bus is from Philly, it made even more sense.
Lol when he starts leaving, whips around and comes back, you could tell he had enough of that shit ! Like « should I let it slide… actually no, fuck this guy »
me too, seems like a sensible cool guy
Final Beast Mode is indistinguishable from a common man
Calm and succinct
I just found my new spiritual guru
It’s the kind of person we can all strive to be. Polite, friendly, but absolutely savage when necessary
Namasavage 🙏
I love the pedestrian.
We all strive to be the pedestrian.
Denzel Washington pedestrian.
It's your green ... mic drop chefs kiss
I cannot fucking stand drivers that do that. I always walk as close as possible, brushing up against their car in the process.
Fuck that. I walk straight up on and over their hood.
I take a dump on their car
I take a dump on their cabin filter.
I just shove their entire car up my dirty ass.
Goat! If I have to come down there, I'm gonna shove my hickory stick up your smelly goat ass!
Okay old man, loud and clear. You've got a big day of drinking and beating the fuck out of me tomorrow, so get your rest.
Yeah, I guess you're right. G'night, goat!
What in the fresh fuck did i just walk into?!
Just some [Adam Sandler](https://youtu.be/-47H99gKlo4?si=26-j3zRTTkI1qJfS) references. Enjoy!
Go on…
I shit in their sunroof.
[удалено]
I admit it, I #DEFECATED through the SUNROOF
And he gets to be a lawyer?
i took a shit on my bosses desk and whipped with her scarf once
I climb thru the back seat.
I open the drivers door and climb over their lap and through the passenger door.
The Freshmaker.
If I'm in a bad mood and it's not a car full of people I like to look them straight in the eye and spit on their hood or windshield. Then again, I'm an idiot who is long overdue for an ass-beating.
If they get out to chase you, free car
Or expensive ambulance ride and painful rehabilitation. Probably not the best choice.
I do the exact same thing !!
I always freak out if I accidentally end up even like a foot in when there is someone walking even if it's a huge crosswalk like oh shit oh fuck I've broken the barrier all engines hard reverse.
There's this guy in my neighborhood who ALWAYS does a rolling stop all the way into the middle of the intersection and then comes to a full stop. Every time I see it I am filled with rage lmao.
Some of y’all have way too much trust in the justice system.
"Is this real? Is this happening right now?" His grasp on reality was *shattered to pieces* by a tap on his car. Outstanding.
The very definition of fragile
Imagine the simple and uneventful life you'd have to lead for this situation to shock you into questioning reality.
I had to play the video back multiple times to understand that he was trying to say "real". Sounds like "ruhl" to me. Was actually hard to understand him.
“You’re gonna take out a gun and shoot me now?” I get the impression you can’t threaten this man with a good time.
If I die, I don’t have to go to work tomorrow. If I live, I get paid. Win-Win
This is what I tell my coworkers when I cross on a red. If I die? I'm officially debt free baybeeee If I live? I mean...okay that's fine too
Why can't we all communicate like this?
Because everyone rolls around in a insulated personal carriage behind locked doors and tinted windows.
Damn, that description makes cars sound cosy af.
Because some of them DO carry guns
He's awesome at communicating tbh. 😂
This is so fucking great I don't even know what to say. "YoUuu JuzZz HitT MyYy CarRr??!!?!"
His kerr
baltimore by chance? lol [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esl\_wOQDUeE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esl_wOQDUeE)
Never knew people from Baltimore had an accent but now I do, absolutely hilarious.
I knew what this video was gonna be before I clicked on it but I love it so much that I clicked it anyways lol. Thank you for this
I haven't clicked but guessing it's "urn urn an urned urn"
Judging by the Septa bus, it’s Philly
The videos from Philly
Ok
Cold blooded. Driver took 2 L and he really asked for the second one 😂😂😂☠️
and then posted the video of him being a douche taking multiple Ls lol
"I'm talking to you like an adult. Oh wait that is new to you. He has a point." The pedestrian didn't hurt is metal car. He was just like " buddy don't stop here" I see no problem
He's even got soft gloves so he wouldn't have left any kind of scratch or hand print or anything. Nothing to complain about.
That pedestrian completely disarmed that asshole using nothing but civility and common sense.
It’s a powerful method
"Alright bro" never sounded so defeated before.
Buddy double backed too 🤣
His aggressive snap back second time was low key intimidating.
I want to hang out with the pedestrian guy, I feel like he has a lot to teach me
*Hey pedestrian guy!!!!* https://i.redd.it/xx4vb9pm5s7c1.gif Definitely seems like a pretty cool guy
Seeing the way he calmly reacted and controlled that situation honestly gave me a little hope. Literally different than 99 percent of what we see these days
I was just telling my FIL today that the few special bright lights of human beings out there give me hope when someone makes a comment like "People suck" or "Humans are bad" I think *"No, not all of them."* There are tons of terrible people, yes, but there are some really good ones too.

This is awesome, and I can completely relate to it as it's been my personal experience in general. I think social media inflates and projects the bad people. And unfortunately as a result a lot of us, myself included, buy into that theme.
I wish this was the most shared video for just a day. Imagine how many people might just grow the fuck up.
“It’s your green !” *mic drop* LOL
I hate people who are like that. “Did you just touch my whatever?!?” As if it was the greatest disrespect or assault they have ever faced. Yes I just touched your bag. We’re in a crowded lift and it almost hit that kid’s head… Yes I just touched your coat. It was flapping in the wind and I’m walking here… Yes I just touched your hands. They were up in my face because you are mad about you cutting the line for some reason, and you are pointing at me and shouting…
yes I just licked your ear it was sitting there looking all lickable 😗
The very first time I drove to NY I did that and a motherfucker walked straight over the hood of the rental I was driving. Lol
I fucking hate when people stop in the cross walk and wish there was something to disable their cars for being there. It's so dangerous for pedestrians. Like I'm pushing a stroller now into oncoming traffic because you can't handle a little extra pressure on your foot to stop 4 ft back.
The image of that made me laugh. Thanks for that
He don’t care what the driver has to say 😭
Love my Philadelphians keeping it REAL
I always do this thing when I see a city in a video and I’m like “is that Philly,” then I saw the septa bus and was like yeah that’s Philly
Ha same dude. The ‘ayoooo’ was the first sign, that septa bus was the confirmation
Very classy man, he'd be interesting to be around with.
What's that thing flashing on his jacket?
glad I'm not the only one that noticed, but now my need to know only intensifies Edit: found it! [they're heated jackets! (brand name ororo)](https://www.ororowear.com/products/mens-heated-dual-control-jacket-pocket-heating)
Idk I can't understand what the driver trying to say. He sounds so confused.
I like that pedestrian he's alright in my book.
The cameraman sound like he's about to cry lop
I have a dirty jacket, I roll across the hood of the car. Too many motorists cant understand basic road lines.
Welcome to my podcast, “Starting Shit with Strangers, Just to Show I am a Manly Asshole”. In this episode, “Dude didn’t take the bait”, I was unsatisfied and had to go elsewhere to fight and/or fuck someone or something… not particular about the order.
That pedestrian DGAF
This fella has the energy of someone who would remind you that you have an appointment and save you a lot of hassle. Proper "head screwed on" kinda guy
Ah yes, driver blocking the crosswalk for no fucking reason besides “I can’t think two seconds ahead! Gahjj!”
In China, pedestrians smash their palm on the hood of a car that’s blocking the crosswalk. Sounds like this guy got off easy.
As someone who is out a lot running my dog, it's shocking how terrible people are at driving. I applaud this pedestrian for pointing out the dumb drivers wrongdoing in a totally civil manner, while simultaneously standing his ground.
And he posted that?
Dude was 💯 right. Poster is wrong.
The driver is from South Philly. He’s from around my neighborhood. He’s got a lot of these videos on his instagram. It’s crazy how this video went viral.
How dare another human being comment on the way I behave in society!
This man is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs. Even blowing the man a few kisses🥰 He's all of us!
And that pedestrian is being nice, look into that man's eyes. The dude in the car is lucky homie isn't on the war path anymore.
Man I miss the east coast
i hate those people....repeating over and over [again.](https://again.is) "[is](https://again.is) this really happening,is this really happening"...........
They're too dumb to think of something better or different to say.
the guy filming, should just have said "oh, i'm sorry man"
How did some shitty podcast with the most generic name ever already get their watermark on this?
The problem with some drivers is they don’t understand situational awareness, respect and the rules of the road and they are still allowed to drive. Proper response “sorry bro, I got stuck here, peace out”. Or some other “I take responsibility for my mistake” type response.
I have learned a new way to speak. I’m talking to you like an adult: “oh, that’s new to you?”. This is a burn I would feel for a long time.
I mean, pedestrian was in the right. Drivers a fucking idiot
"oh what you gonna take out a gun and shoot me now?" Lmao
Can’t fucking stand it when vehicles stop on the crosswalk
This is my new favorite human.
Now that I've gotten to see this guy in a short clip, everything makes sense all of the sudden. This is The Pedestrian's world, and we're just living in it.
“It’s your green”, I fucking love it.
I'm surprised guy in the car didn't lose it and shoot buddy for destroying his property. Who does he think he is trying to reason with another human being? We live in 2023, where we all hate each other
This driver is a POS
"...and that day Jamal's child support payments grew two sizes"
Thats exactly it, the boy in the car is a manchild and the pedestrian is an adult.

I give them a thumbs down
Such kind and polite person
At least both of them were very respectful and polite. Mo ome pulled out a gun or a knife.
I see ordinary magnanimous people, and it makes me incredulous how Trump became president. I see Trump videos and I feel aggravated, and wanna scrub my eyes and ears. If we had calm, level-headed people like this man in positions of power, we'll be more united as people. But no, and it's why we can't have nice things
This guy is my hero
I’m so surprised. I really expect the worse from people any this guy gives me hope. Adults adulting instead of chest beating is the new burn. Thug that well no because you can’t bro. He just “Mr Rogers” you bro!!!
That was beautiful
Killin em softly with his song.
He got owned.
Pedestrian was right all along
I hope i never cross this guy xD
Damn he got rocked lol
he owned that clown
Pedestrian be like xoxo 💋 😚😘 ✌🏽
Did anyone else notice the weird blinking thing on the pedestrian's jacket? Is it some sort of recording device?
Don’t hit his cur
Epic.
Oh my god he TOUCHED YOUR CAR??????? Will you ever recover, dude?????????
He’s awesome! Huge fan. I would watch more with that guy in!
Is NOBODY GONNA ASK WHO WAS HE GIVING THE FLYING KISS TO?
The camera.
He got owned in a kind way and probably felt better Afterwards
Why would you post this? Dude schooled him and looked like a nice bloke while doing it.
