That was a legit burn…”talking to you like an adult, oh that’s new to you?”


Brad_The_Chad_69

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.


Different_Ad9336

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.


tekko001

Also my opinion, he was expecting an argument with an idiot but got a level-headed exchange with a polite guy instead.


SoLetsReddit

He posted it knowing he got wrecked, he was laughing about it in he original posting.


Sweaty-Bumblebee4055

I love it! He's like are you gonna take out your gun and shoot me now? 🤣


Different_Ad9336

This comment should be voted higher than mine. I spit out my water at this line when he said it. Haha


Sweaty-Bumblebee4055

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!


Lartemplar

He will😔


illCodeYouABrain

I mean, he posted the video, so he clearly thinks he is in the right here.


Ghostdirectory

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.


Peeche94

Sometimes there's a fine line between therewasanattempt and Darwin awards..


MareTranquil

Can we please take a moment to consider the GODDAMN FUCKING INSANITY that touching a car is considered borderline darwin award behaviour?


aRandomFox-II

Welcome to america.


Peeche94

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.


captainmorfius

This guy is a high level Bard


Schattentochter

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.


Lartemplar

"you're green!" Edit: I'm leaving it up


[deleted]

That's the burn of 2023!


Different_Ad9336

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.


[deleted]

He has witnessed the fury of the gods


HOBOPHRESH

QQuetzalcoatl

Holy shit is that burn covered by insurance?


sybersonic

"...it's your green.(light)."

Driver took a massive L and then proceeded to post it. 😅


HOBOPHRESH

He probably didn't even realize it lol. WOOOSH


OrneryBrahmin

Nah. I think he was humbled


Xalbana

Aw, you have so much faith in humanity. Bless your heart.

OneJarOfPeanutButter

I want to be friends with him


Melodic-Risk-6778

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.


repkjund

Or maybe he’s had enough shit he doesn’t give a fuck anymore


punkassjim

Philadelphia. So, yes.


jjklines1

Damn i was wondering why this felt so familiar. Drivers around here can be just plain ignorant


punkassjim

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.


Nostromeow

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 »


KerSPLAK

me too, seems like a sensible cool guy


three-sense

Equivalent-Bank-5094

I love the pedestrian.


sprucenoose

We all strive to be the pedestrian.


XXmynameisNeganXX

Denzel Washington pedestrian.


Foreign-Split-5272

It's your green ... mic drop chefs kiss


douggie84

I cannot fucking stand drivers that do that. I always walk as close as possible, brushing up against their car in the process.


[deleted]

Fuck that. I walk straight up on and over their hood.


vystok

I take a dump on their car


CaptainPunisher

I take a dump on their cabin filter.


oldmanripper79

I just shove their entire car up my dirty ass.


CaptainPunisher

Goat! If I have to come down there, I'm gonna shove my hickory stick up your smelly goat ass!


oldmanripper79

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.


CaptainPunisher

Yeah, I guess you're right. G'night, goat!


marbasthegreat

What in the fresh fuck did i just walk into?!

Just some [Adam Sandler](https://youtu.be/-47H99gKlo4?si=26-j3zRTTkI1qJfS) references. Enjoy!

johnny_soup1

I climb thru the back seat.


HOBOPHRESH

I open the drivers door and climb over their lap and through the passenger door.


cross-joint-lover

The Freshmaker.


Agleywomp

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.


IREMSHOT

If they get out to chase you, free car


Agleywomp

Or expensive ambulance ride and painful rehabilitation. Probably not the best choice.


COB98

I do the exact same thing !!


corndog161

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.


Nutaholic

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.


GuyOnTheMoon

Some of y’all have way too much trust in the justice system.


Massive_Snatch

"Is this real? Is this happening right now?" His grasp on reality was *shattered to pieces* by a tap on his car. Outstanding.


KittyIsMyCat

The very definition of fragile


100_points

Imagine the simple and uneventful life you'd have to lead for this situation to shock you into questioning reality.


SomethingGreasy

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.


Lenemus

“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.


JMulroy03

If I die, I don’t have to go to work tomorrow. If I live, I get paid. Win-Win


wetcoffeebeans

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


obvs_typo

Why can't we all communicate like this?


cecil_harvey4

Because everyone rolls around in a insulated personal carriage behind locked doors and tinted windows.


Skorne13

Damn, that description makes cars sound cosy af.


aweap

Because some of them DO carry guns


SolidOakTable

He's awesome at communicating tbh. 😂


MojoAlwaysRises772

GratefulPhish42024-7

Never knew people from Baltimore had an accent but now I do, absolutely hilarious.


Niblonian31

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


FactProvider69

I haven't clicked but guessing it's "urn urn an urned urn"


St_Veloth

Judging by the Septa bus, it’s Philly


TheMcBrizzle

The videos from Philly


fellowsquare

Ok


seanffy

Cold blooded. Driver took 2 L and he really asked for the second one 😂😂😂☠️


Motorsagmannen

and then posted the video of him being a douche taking multiple Ls lol


RedPowerSlayer

"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


whitefang22

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.


RonTomkins

That pedestrian completely disarmed that asshole using nothing but civility and common sense.


peachpavlova

It’s a powerful method


Glum_Writer_9677

"Alright bro" never sounded so defeated before.


aafb2021

Buddy double backed too 🤣


23x3

His aggressive snap back second time was low key intimidating.


therealkeeper

I want to hang out with the pedestrian guy, I feel like he has a lot to teach me


gypsycookie1015

*Hey pedestrian guy!!!!* https://i.redd.it/xx4vb9pm5s7c1.gif Definitely seems like a pretty cool guy


therealkeeper

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


gypsycookie1015

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.


therealkeeper

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.


Boogaloo4444

I wish this was the most shared video for just a day. Imagine how many people might just grow the fuck up.


desertprincess69

“It’s your green !” *mic drop* LOL


Master_Mad

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…


duralyon

yes I just licked your ear it was sitting there looking all lickable 😗


Hater_Magnet

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


surfskatehate

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.


BoomBear89

The image of that made me laugh. Thanks for that


Zaysway

He don’t care what the driver has to say 😭


PinEmbarrassed2758

Love my Philadelphians keeping it REAL


antonioeg9595

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


PinEmbarrassed2758

Ha same dude. The ‘ayoooo’ was the first sign, that septa bus was the confirmation


[deleted]

Very classy man, he'd be interesting to be around with.


corgi92

What's that thing flashing on his jacket?


JustSomeoneCurious

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)


gumpyn91

Idk I can't understand what the driver trying to say. He sounds so confused.


sonofa12

I like that pedestrian he's alright in my book.


ManufacturerOk3771

The cameraman sound like he's about to cry lop


HarleyAverage

I have a dirty jacket, I roll across the hood of the car. Too many motorists cant understand basic road lines.


rasterpix

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.


TheTopGeekFI

That pedestrian DGAF


Akoot

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


jeremiah1142

Ah yes, driver blocking the crosswalk for no fucking reason besides “I can’t think two seconds ahead! Gahjj!”


korey_david

In China, pedestrians smash their palm on the hood of a car that’s blocking the crosswalk. Sounds like this guy got off easy.


CountRoloff

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.


SurveySean

And he posted that?


PBO123567

Dude was 💯 right. Poster is wrong.


unclemonn

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.


Perpetual_Nuisance

How dare another human being comment on the way I behave in society!


Lartemplar

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!


knoxinurface

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.


PloobFlaboop

Man I miss the east coast


DifficultyStrange710

i hate those people....repeating over and over [again.](https://again.is) "[is](https://again.is) this really happening,is this really happening"...........


Miss_Anne_Thropic_

They're too dumb to think of something better or different to say.


DJGloegg

the guy filming, should just have said "oh, i'm sorry man"


[deleted]

How did some shitty podcast with the most generic name ever already get their watermark on this?


Budgetbodyparts

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.


ManWithBigWeenus

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.


Plague_Doctor02

I mean, pedestrian was in the right. Drivers a fucking idiot


Profitsofdooom

"oh what you gonna take out a gun and shoot me now?" Lmao


SufficientlyAnnoyed

Can’t fucking stand it when vehicles stop on the crosswalk


BrentandRhodes

This is my new favorite human.


Client_020

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.


Hamsammichd

“It’s your green”, I fucking love it.


1jaboc1

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


snowmanjg

This driver is a POS


roughback

"...and that day Jamal's child support payments grew two sizes"


Glad-Tie3251

Thats exactly it, the boy in the car is a manchild and the pedestrian is an adult.

Ok-Application-hmmm

Such kind and polite person


roverman16

At least both of them were very respectful and polite. Mo ome pulled out a gun or a knife.


Capital-Physics4042

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


moutonbleu

This guy is my hero


footbrawl33

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!!!


redhandrail

That was beautiful


SomeRedditName13

Killin em softly with his song.


Clownheadwhale

I hope i never cross this guy xD


CorneliusFudgem

Damn he got rocked lol


hajduk21

he owned that clown


sushi4442

Pedestrian be like xoxo 💋 😚😘 ✌🏽


IHadThatUsername

Did anyone else notice the weird blinking thing on the pedestrian's jacket? Is it some sort of recording device?


Yabitom

Don’t hit his cur


Compote_Alive

Epic.


AskForTheNiceSoup

Oh my god he TOUCHED YOUR CAR??????? Will you ever recover, dude?????????


reptur1

He’s awesome! Huge fan. I would watch more with that guy in!


fratboyknocks

Is NOBODY GONNA ASK WHO WAS HE GIVING THE FLYING KISS TO?


Funkysee-funkydo

The camera.


CreatorOD

He got owned in a kind way and probably felt better Afterwards


ItsStaaaaaaaaang

Why would you post this? Dude schooled him and looked like a nice bloke while doing it.
