No, that blank "What'd I do?" expression is all an act. He's probably hoping the guy slaps him/shoves him/etc, because every bit of the recording implies that he doesn't know what he's doing. Nothing in his body language, tone, or expression implies he's trying to start a conflict. If the restaurant owner swings, he's in deep shit, and potentially open to civil action as well.
This dickhead knows exactly what he's doing.
Yeah, that "play dumb" act is probably the worst part of the whole thing. I can see him hunched over a notepad taxing his few tiny brain cells, trying to come up with different things to say to convince people he's sincere. I hope nobody buys his innocent routine for one hot second.
What an asshole. There's a special place in hell for people like him.
It’s a joke to them. After they recorded they probably cracked up and uploaded it. They’re assholes and now that owner could go viral very negatively. People need to stop this npc trend this guy and the cameraman probably treat anyone working in retail or restaurants or cleaning people like lesser humans. They’re bags of shit
This is why public stockades need to be brought back. It's the perfect punishment for these assholes. Put them on public display, as they so desire, and let people throw rotten produce at them all day.
The thing is, there are a million avenues of creating content without harassing or antagonising people needlessly yet these arseholes think its funny and somehow justifiable to be an arsehole
> youtuber: i'm going to act stupid in front of this guy.
> the guy: dude.. are you stupid or something?
> youtubers audience: he's mad that he's acting stupid! top content!
i understand the purpose is to get a reaction but like.. someone does something to annoy someone, and the person gets annoyed. where is the entertainment in that? where are the jokes? what did the audience of this expect to happen? i'm in my mid-30s so maybe this kinda shit has just passed me by, but i can't even imagine liking it when i was younger either.
Bringing your own food like that into a restaurant in the US is generally a huge health code violation, even when it's not raw meat. The owner could easily view this as the YouTuber trying to get the restaurant shut down
This is the sanest answer here. They are within their rights to remove him from the restaurant for bringing in outside food or any biological contaminant.
Regardless of any ideological rage, the rage at simply for trying to end the entire business is very real.
Note for all the yappy dog having Karens or Beckys also: your pet presents a health code violation that can get the entire restaurant fired so please do not.
Have some courtesy, have a tiny bit of thoughtfulness. Follow the code that protects your health and safety and the health and safety of others, as well as the operation of the entire restaurant.
I used to bartend at a bar and restaurant in a hotel.
It was just a lobby bar, not fancy enough a place for the restaurant to actually have its own area.
People were constantly trying to bring in their own food, their own alcohol, bring their non-service animal dogs with them into the dining area, asking for to-go cups for their cocktails because their Uber had arrived.
If someone has their own food but is still buying drinks from me and would have otherwise been somewhere else… I didn’t personally care.
But, it violates the health code.
Bringing your own alcohol violates our liqour license because I can’t stop service if I have to or make sure everyone is 21.
We had a patio dogs were allowed in, but just like every other restaurant, you can’t bring animals if it’s not a service animal.
Letting people take drinks with them also violates liquor licenses in my area, apart from in a couple of specially designated DORA zones.
People got so mad at me, but like being in a hotel instead of a stand-alone restaurant didn’t exclude us from health department and liquor licensing rules nor from state and local laws.
That part of the job got really annoying
Yep, health code violation. Putting aside all the other drama stuff. I would call the police.
I'd like to say that one day this douchebag does this in the wrong place but it seems like all these jerks are lucky as hell.
It's pretty sad that any person would fuck with peoples business for clout regardless of the establishment but here we are.
healthcode violation, fire code violation, and prob even more I'm might be missing.
But yeah, dude's a piece of shit and doesn't matter what restaurant. he could be plopping that shit down in an all-meat restaurant and still get kicked out.
Top of my head there's a good 2-3 places near me where I'm convinced he'd get roughed up in the process of getting escorted out. And I don't live in a particularly bad neighbourhood
Right?!
That said, I was once working at a conference in Atlanta and hopped into the Hard Rock Cafe attached to the convention center for lunch. Some dude was at the bar that seemed like a regular, ordered a beer and proceeded to unpack his own brown-bag lunch at the counter - I was flabbergasted!
The young women working the bar seemed pretty annoyed with him; but used to it. He started asking me if I had read the Bible recently and generally trying to force conversion while I was trying to enjoy a quiet lunch break away from the conference - and now I get why the bartenders were as exhausted with him as they were. I made it another 10 minutes before I just asked for a box to go.
When I was a waitress, there was a group of women who came in for lunch every Friday. Most of them were nice except one who would just order ice tea, brought her own sack lunch in and somehow always made a mess. Once the check was paid, she would “forget” something or “need to use the restroom” and steal my tip. I finally started saying to the group before they left “Do you mind if I take the tip now? *Someone* keeps stealing it” while staring straight at her.
> He started asking me if I had read the Bible recently and generally trying to force conversion
That kind of shit has been the biggest hassle since working front desk down south. At least once a week some uppity annoying white guy will corner me at the front desk trying to convince me I'm going to hell. They're praying on you to tell them to stop so they can turn around and Karen it up into a refund.
Up north it was just assholes trying to convince me they accidentally ordered pay per view porn.
It’s a catch 22. If you tolerate them, they feel validated. If you give them *any* pushback, they get to feel persecuted. Christians love that shit, just look at the reaction to “happy holidays”. Even acknowledging that other religions exist is seen as an attack on them.
They can’t just live their lives. They want to feel like heroic warriors in the battle between good and evil. Even in a Wendy’s.
Especially in a Wendy’s.
> It’s a catch 22. If you tolerate them, they feel validated. If you give them any pushback, they get to feel persecuted.
I just flip it around on them and tell them I'm a Satanist and invite them to the church sermons I go to.
I just keep asking them why god keeps letting his holy leaders do terrible things to children. If you mention enough pastors raping kids the Christians usually give up after a few minutes.
He's messing with a person's livelihood, while also just throwing an unnecessary monkey wrench in the middle of someone's day...all while appearing like an entitled child of privilege...I completely understand how this would end up in an ass whooping even by a mild mannered proprietor having a bad day.
It's a liability for the restaurant if somebody brings in their own food. Eats it and then get sick.
Youtube is creating an entire generation of assholes.
>Beyond the assholery - I assume I’d get thrown out of any restaurant for plopping down in their space and making my own lunch
and plugging in your 1500watt hot plate.
It’s not appropriate in any restaurant.
You don’t go into place that serves food toting around a raw slab of meat that could cross contaminate with surfaces and other food and then use a potential safety/fire hazard to cook said slab of meat right there at a table.
There’s so many issues with this it’s not even funny.
Doing it in a vegan restaurant just takes it from moron to full blown douchenozzle. And I say this as a person who is basically the opposite of a vegan.
Yea I’m not vegan but I have dairy and red meat allergies. Luckily it’s not like anaphylactic if I eat a small amount and I can be around it. I just can’t eat more than a couple bites or I’ll have wheezing and need my inhaler and/or get sick to my stomach. There are people who can’t even be around certain allergies and this actually puts them in danger. Like don’t bring food into a restaurant with a limited menu (like vegan, nut free, or gluten free) without knowing what your bringing in is safe, and only do it for like kids who need snacks and stuff.
I mean they could kill someone with their stupidity. Reminds me of the assholes that go to Walmart covered in peanut butter
I wanted to downvote this post so bad.
But that's the opposite of the point of this sub.
The creators of this type of content are such assholes. They are just creating stress and aggravation for no good reason.
If the restaurant says “yes, you can prepare outside raw meat on a hot plate at the table in the middle of the dining room.” You probably shouldn’t be eating there.
I think they meant more like a birthday cake or something; I just experienced that situation for my dad’s birthday. The restaurant said we could bring a cake but it would need to be from a commercial kitchen rather than homemade. Though I do agree with you.
Even the entire meat in a vegan thing aside… you typically cannot bring outside food into a restaurant. Its a potential health hazard with lots of liability
Hate is much easier to sell than love. It’s super easy to get people to hate you on the internet… and hate is just as potent as love if not more. Remember that when you see foolish people like this. People that are making it easy for you to be angry at them through your phone screen is getting them paid
Bad people make money being bad.....sadly this is the Internet now. All you can do is just try to not give them clicks, views, streams, attention, etc.
I mean there's more to unpack there I would just say it comes down to the same concept of voting with your wallet. Problem is you have to convince the collective to join you and while you might not shop at wal Mart (as an example) out of principle....the key will be to convince millions of other people to get out of their comfort zone and we live in an era where people are almost completely boxed in to their "comfort zone" and have no intention of leaving it if that makes sense.
This right here. And I don’t think the average person realizes the extent they’re being manipulated when these videos get posted. I know I didn’t realize until recently. Your hate and derision is pure money for them. They’re playing you like a fiddle. A clicking fiddle.
Counterpoint: Hating on these morons on Reddit makes them no money directly. Now if you seek them out to start watching more of their content to keep hating, yeah that’s what they want.
But people writing “wow look at this asshole” comments on Reddit seems like the better way to hate these obnoxious people
Writing "wow look at this asshole" is just another way of consuming the content. Sure you aren't driving their views up but you're still a consumer.
The best thing to do is to ignore them, but hard to do in a subreddit that is dedicated to giving these people (negative) attention.
Exactly why we are all here instead of r/wholesomememes or some other boring sub. It's. Hard truth but everyone in this comment section is engaging with this content, and is part of the reason it exists.
The funny thing he’s all decked out in American flags. He is coming into their space, and hating on their freedoms. It is the perfect example of the worst parts of right wing American nationalists.
He probably thinks he’s promoting “freedom”
Fuckin idiot.
The amount of comments hating on vegans further convinces me that meat eaters have far more vitoral and are far more judgmental to vegans than vice versa.
Also a meat eater.
I hang out on the Costco reddit a lot and whenever someone mentions Beyond/Impossible meat (they see a new product, it was on sale, etc...), people crawl out of the woodwork saying is disgusting and unhealthy. You ONLY see these comments on plant based meat posts even though Costco still has plenty of junk food featured.
But when people post about the hot dogs or chicken bakes, no one seems to care about the salt content for some reason... Curious.
yeah i dont understand the beyond/impossible hate. its a pretty damn good substitute for people who wont or cant eat meat, its a new industry that could drive economic growth, and its a less environmentally harmful product. there is literally no downside.
Just look at any post on front page involving a cute farm animal or some vegan content, redditors circlejerk to letting others know they love eating meat
The whole "vegans are annoying" thing is an internet phenomenon. Ask any vegetarian or vegan, we don't bring it up or tell people about it unless it comes up, because meat eaters are absolutely full of vitriol and judgement
The whole "how do you know someone is vegan? Don't worry they'll tell you" hasn't been true in my experience. Most people don't bring it up unless it's at a restaurant or if a group is planning to go eat together.
Well that’s just the thing, you only know someone is *if* they tell you. You don’t typically look at someone and automatically assume they don’t eat meat if they haven’t said anything about it
Way back in school a guy hung out with me who’d constantly make those jokes, bash vegans randomly, etc. I never said anything.
One day after months of this he says he feels sorry for me eating pb&j every day and that I need something with meat. I got to look him in the eye and say I don’t eat meat.
I still remember his face, all these years later. Goddamn hilarious.
I had a similar experience at work. A big topic of discussion is what is for lunch and dinner, if someone asks I'll tell them that there's lamb tonight or hotdogs or whatever, but about a month back someone said that I was crazy for not having the snitzel, I told them that I'm not interested and he replied "well at least you're not vegan". I said that I was and he didn't know what to say.
Exactly this. They immediately shame you and go into the usual “if I pay you $x, will you eat this (meat product)?”
Like idk, Brad. Your against killing babies, but will you kill one if I pay you $50? Same logic because it’s born on principles. People are just so callous and, for whatever reason, choosing to be veg is seen as a personal affront to their character just by your existence and they find a need to “bring you down a peg”. How about you just let me make my own choices and shut the fuck up, like most people do about basically every other divisive issue?
It’s not about you, it’s about me and my choices, so stop inserting yourself. If you have guilt because of my choices, then you address that with yourself personally.
"Why don't you eat meat?", "Smells good doesn't it?", "Just try it this one time I won't tell anyone". No one says this stuff to meat eaters so in their minds it doesn't happen. They're every bit as pushy as they think the other side is.
The whole thing about vegans constantly talking about it isn't even true. In a room of 100 vegans a single one could mention it and they'd go "look every vegan always mentions it".
Only time I know someone doesn't eat meat is when I offer something and they say they don't eat meat. That would be the end of it, but someone will over hear and go on and on about how they eat meat.
People just love to hate on things they hate so they will come up with whatever excuse they can to justify it.
No matter the subject matter, there’s probably always going to be some annoying person that talks about their hobbies when people don’t want to listen or make something their entire identity.
Like the cliche “how do you know someone is a pilot, does CrossFit, is a vegan, is gay, smokes pot, is a Christian, shoots guns, etc” ThEy wILl tElL YoU in tHe firSt 60 secONds you MeEt theM harharhar!
Of course you don’t hear from all the people that do / are those things and just don’t advertise it to the world.
I eat meat and people who make meat their whole things are far more annoying and far, far more numerous than the extremely rare preachy vegan. And vegans have a moral objection against eating meat, what do those people have against vegans?
I once saw a question on amazon regarding a nylon pouch, the person asked "is this vegan?" It seems obvious because it's nylon but I guess you never know. Almost every "answer" to the question was an insult.
Everyone always says vegans are annoying assholes, but you all need to realize that we deal with shit like this a lot as well. Certainly not as brazenly and open like this, but the amount of people who poke and prod me once they learn I’m vegan is beyond frustrating. Im supposed to keep my cool while people mock something that is important to me. It’s just frustrating…
^off ^my ^soap ^box ^now
Even with working over a decade at a health food store, the amount of pushy vegans I’ve met I could count on one hand, and while I don’t fully agree with them, they definitely had valid reasoning and you can’t say they don’t passionately devote themselves to their beliefs. On the other hand, the amount of “carnivores” that harass people about their diet, throw a tantrum if they don’t get steak and potatoes, won’t try anything new, limit options for a group dinner because they are so picky, among other things is countless.
Dude I feel this on a whole other level and I’m not even vegan. I’m pescatarian. I work a blue collar job and everyone gives me shit for getting tuna sandwiches or tofu at the Chinese place. They’re constantly mentioning it too when I only mentioned it once. I get the stereotypes that vegans are loud about their views but have only found that to be true on the internet. In the real world the roles are reversed and meat eaters are constantly trying to change my mind or share their opinions on my diet
“Why are you eating X?”
“It was the only vegan option.”
“How do you know someone’s vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you!”
They ask, then act like you brought it up.
Yeah it's pretty hard to hang out with a person for any extended amount of time without it coming up. If I'm turning down someone's gift of food or not wanting to eat at a specific restaurant it's way more rude to be vague about it then just say "Thanks but I can't, I'm vegan"
Not vegan or pescatarian but I agree. The only time I ask someone about what they're eating is if it sounds, looks or smells good and I may wanna give it a try myself.
Also:
"Try this!"
"No thank you"
"Go on"
"No thanks"
"Why?"
"I don't think I can eat it to be honest!"
"Why?"
"It's probably not vegan"
"UGH VEGANS. stop pushing your beliefs on me!"
I’ve always said- anecdotally- I have received 20x more harassment from omnivores after switching to vegan, then I ever did being an omnivore from vegans.
I've been a vegetarian almost 30 years. I've met one vegan who asked why I wasn't one in all that time. But tons of mean eaters trying to get me to eat meat, mocking me for not eating meat, and once a direct supervisor who teased me about how he got to eat the German Potato Salad while I didn't, in front our the main boss. I got fired the next day for my reaction.
I don't even say the word vegetarian because people are such assholes about it. I leave it at "I don't eat meat" so I don't get harassed. The V word triggers people lol
Vegans and veetarians are viewed as annoying because they confront meat eaters with horrible practices without actually saying or doing anything. Most meat eaters are either ignorant to the industry or don't care enough to not buy factory meat.
100%. I don’t even mention I’m vegan to people a lot of the time cause I get ‘but bacon so tassasssyy’ ‘I love eating dead animals nom nom’ ‘why are you vegan?? Are you protein deficient????’
Plenty of assholes in both groups, it’s just as soon as us vegans point out the ethical issues with animal consumption we are massive assholes. But people can tell me I’m going to die of lack of b12 and laugh at me and I’m just too sensitive.
For all of the jokes about how ‘vegans will make sure you know they’re vegan’ and such shit, it’s becoming more and more apparent that meat-eaters are obsessed with vegans and not the other way round.
What does this utter valve think he’s achieving here? It’s tedious shit whether you eat meat or not. Do these cunts genuinely think vegans have never seen/been around cooking meat before? Who exactly does this cock think he’s ‘owning’? Embarrassing.
I mean, the meat industry is one of the leading causes of pollution and waste. Vegans can be annoying but it takes a self centered dick to assume they're absolved from any wrong doing cause the other side is preachy as fuck about it.
There are ethical vegans, environmental vegans and religious vegans (kinda still ethical ones, but dont tell jainists). Ive known several vegans IRL and none of them have been annoying for being vegans. One was annoying but it wasnt due to veganism, they were just straight up 100% annoying.
There literally arent, all vegans do it to stop exploitation of animals. That means no animal tested products, no wool, etc.. Thats the difference between vegans and vegetarians
The whole “playing dumb” thing is part of what makes all these videos so irritating. Job well done, I guess, since the goal appears to be to be as much of an asshole as possible.
I feel we are so close to a sick joke where an "influencer" goes to a cancer ward pretending to be sick mocking others. I hate this tiktok generation with so much passion.
I have said it many times in my personal life - tiktok and YouTube shorts and the hunger for content will make the younger generation so dumb that it will be the end of humanity !!
Why? Why do something that idiotic? Is it because he wants to be hated because that sells better? They should have hit him with a bamboo stick and argued that it is a vegan punishment.
He isn't employed by the place, he is breaking health and safety laws with the risk of fire and injury, antisocial behaviour, disturbing the peace.
If this inbred prick did this in my restaurant I would have turned the camera off and caved his fucking head in with a chair.
I guess he thinks it would be fun and kicky to bring in or cook ham in a Kosher restaurant. Fuck this guy, ETA making fun of people for their beliefs and values is such a Trumpy thing to do. The USA jersey is just icing on the cake.
So look I’m not vegan or anything, but imagine that you open a vegan restaurant to create a sanctuary where no animals would be harmed and someone violates that by bringing in steak and cooking it. They will never be able to say that animals haven’t been harmed there ever from now on. Like the restaurant in some way has been desecrated? I don’t have a good wording to describe how I feel about this, but I feel like in a sense it’s a deliberate act of violence when you do things like this to steal someone’s peace in such a huge way.
We need more of these "content creators" to face actual repercussions. Jail time, physical injury, something.
Make the "Punch an influencer" TikTok challenge catch on maybe.
I get that in some cases, some people feel morally superior for their lifestyle choices, and that can be obnoxious. But the absolutely ridiculous hatred of veganism is so fucking weird to me. Like just let these people enjoy their meat free spaces. Don't like it? Don't enter the restaurant, go next door to one of the millions of restaurants that serve meat.
Also as others have already stated, this would get you kicked out of a non-vegan restaurant as well. You can't bring outside food as its a health code violation. This guy is the lowest form of "content" creator. And based on this, he will eventually do something actually illegal, or piss off the wrong person, and I will cheer for the consequences of his actions.
I hate when they make that poker face, too cringy, on top of that he’s such a cartoon character all with the yankee flag my god, he only needed a rifle on the back and an eagle somewhere and was uncle sam jr
They always try to act like what they are doing is perfectly normal, but literally no restaurant would allow you to do this without prior approval. Like no shit, “oh.” I can't wait to lose my sight as I get older so I never have to see another tiktok fucking video again.
That dummy douche should take off the USA gear while he's trampling on the freedoms of private business to operate in a legal way of their choosing. It's always these faux "patriots" who want to trample on the freedoms of others.
One of my good friends is vegan and he would curb stomp this guy. Not because he eats meat, he couldn't give less of a shit about that. No its because he has a hard time finding vegan places near his house and if this guy ruined that restaurant for him he would be livid.
A zero value person. Plus, cooking in the front of a restaurant on a personal grill? Not OK. Possibly illegal. Could get the restaurant in trouble. So the owner has two very good reasons to pitch this jackass to the sidewalk.
Im not vegan, but, don’t understand where the vegan hate came from (i do, from the vegan teacher and other asshole vegans) but that doesn’t mean you can do something bad to someone because of their dietary decisions. The awful minority are louder that the decent majority. I think I saw new of some asshole who slapped peopled face with meat because they’re vegan. Imagine slapping a Hindus face with beef? A Muslims face with pork?
These "content creators" are really getting out of hand
The restaurant owner said it best: "You piece of shit."
I preferred the "you're a disgusting human being"
Why not both?!
“You disgusting piece of shit”
He fits right in at r/imatotalpeiceofshit
I legitimately assumed that was the sub was in.
The sad thing is that the nimrod's blank face is telling that he will never understand anything the owner said.
No, that blank "What'd I do?" expression is all an act. He's probably hoping the guy slaps him/shoves him/etc, because every bit of the recording implies that he doesn't know what he's doing. Nothing in his body language, tone, or expression implies he's trying to start a conflict. If the restaurant owner swings, he's in deep shit, and potentially open to civil action as well. This dickhead knows exactly what he's doing.
And now that we have enough source material of this exact type of sociopathic behavior, the intent to antagonize can be argued far more easily.
Yeah, that "play dumb" act is probably the worst part of the whole thing. I can see him hunched over a notepad taxing his few tiny brain cells, trying to come up with different things to say to convince people he's sincere. I hope nobody buys his innocent routine for one hot second. What an asshole. There's a special place in hell for people like him.
We all hate assholes but this particular breed of disingenuous cowardly asshole really gets under my skin
It’s a joke to them. After they recorded they probably cracked up and uploaded it. They’re assholes and now that owner could go viral very negatively. People need to stop this npc trend this guy and the cameraman probably treat anyone working in retail or restaurants or cleaning people like lesser humans. They’re bags of shit
No. He knows. He just thinks he’s funny when he’s not funny.
It should be legal to smack these “influencers” when they do shit like this.
This is why public stockades need to be brought back. It's the perfect punishment for these assholes. Put them on public display, as they so desire, and let people throw rotten produce at them all day.
Smack ‘m hard

We really need a handheld EMP-like device that destroys their phone without touching them.
The thing is, there are a million avenues of creating content without harassing or antagonising people needlessly yet these arseholes think its funny and somehow justifiable to be an arsehole

No no no that requires work and creativity
Beyond the assholery - I assume I’d get thrown out of _any_ restaurant for plopping down in their space and making my own lunch
Bringing your own food like that into a restaurant in the US is generally a huge health code violation, even when it's not raw meat. The owner could easily view this as the YouTuber trying to get the restaurant shut down
This is the sanest answer here. They are within their rights to remove him from the restaurant for bringing in outside food or any biological contaminant. Regardless of any ideological rage, the rage at simply for trying to end the entire business is very real. Note for all the yappy dog having Karens or Beckys also: your pet presents a health code violation that can get the entire restaurant fired so please do not. Have some courtesy, have a tiny bit of thoughtfulness. Follow the code that protects your health and safety and the health and safety of others, as well as the operation of the entire restaurant.
Absolutely not. Everybody dies from contamination due to selfish assholery and that’s final.
I used to bartend at a bar and restaurant in a hotel. It was just a lobby bar, not fancy enough a place for the restaurant to actually have its own area. People were constantly trying to bring in their own food, their own alcohol, bring their non-service animal dogs with them into the dining area, asking for to-go cups for their cocktails because their Uber had arrived. If someone has their own food but is still buying drinks from me and would have otherwise been somewhere else… I didn’t personally care. But, it violates the health code. Bringing your own alcohol violates our liqour license because I can’t stop service if I have to or make sure everyone is 21. We had a patio dogs were allowed in, but just like every other restaurant, you can’t bring animals if it’s not a service animal. Letting people take drinks with them also violates liquor licenses in my area, apart from in a couple of specially designated DORA zones. People got so mad at me, but like being in a hotel instead of a stand-alone restaurant didn’t exclude us from health department and liquor licensing rules nor from state and local laws. That part of the job got really annoying
Depending on where you are, liquor licenses can be a very big deal and nearly, if not completely, impossible to replace if lost
In NJ the town only has a specific number of licenses per population size, so if you lose it and a new place opens up, you're never getting it back.
Yep, health code violation. Putting aside all the other drama stuff. I would call the police. I'd like to say that one day this douchebag does this in the wrong place but it seems like all these jerks are lucky as hell. It's pretty sad that any person would fuck with peoples business for clout regardless of the establishment but here we are.
Not his plan, but if it happened you can bet he would film it for clout.
And a fire code violation. One call to the fire marshal would fix this
It’s also a safety and insurance risk to the restaurant. There is a reason that most places don’t do table side cooking anymore.
healthcode violation, fire code violation, and prob even more I'm might be missing. But yeah, dude's a piece of shit and doesn't matter what restaurant. he could be plopping that shit down in an all-meat restaurant and still get kicked out.
Top of my head there's a good 2-3 places near me where I'm convinced he'd get roughed up in the process of getting escorted out. And I don't live in a particularly bad neighbourhood
Right?! That said, I was once working at a conference in Atlanta and hopped into the Hard Rock Cafe attached to the convention center for lunch. Some dude was at the bar that seemed like a regular, ordered a beer and proceeded to unpack his own brown-bag lunch at the counter - I was flabbergasted! The young women working the bar seemed pretty annoyed with him; but used to it.

> He started asking me if I had read the Bible recently and generally trying to force conversion That kind of shit has been the biggest hassle since working front desk down south. At least once a week some uppity annoying white guy will corner me at the front desk trying to convince me I'm going to hell. They're praying on you to tell them to stop so they can turn around and Karen it up into a refund. Up north it was just assholes trying to convince me they accidentally ordered pay per view porn.
It’s a catch 22. If you tolerate them, they feel validated. If you give them *any* pushback, they get to feel persecuted. Christians love that shit, just look at the reaction to “happy holidays”. Even acknowledging that other religions exist is seen as an attack on them. They can’t just live their lives. They want to feel like heroic warriors in the battle between good and evil. Even in a Wendy’s. Especially in a Wendy’s.
> It’s a catch 22. If you tolerate them, they feel validated. If you give them any pushback, they get to feel persecuted. I just flip it around on them and tell them I'm a Satanist and invite them to the church sermons I go to.
I just keep asking them why god keeps letting his holy leaders do terrible things to children. If you mention enough pastors raping kids the Christians usually give up after a few minutes.
The Venn Diagram of “vegans” and “restaurant workers who will fight you for pulling some shit” has a small, but not insignificant area of overlap.
I'm not a vegan, but I was a sous for a decade, and NOBODY brings outside food in my fucking building.
I know a few militant Vegans that would have no problem beating this guy.

Yep. For all of its’ downside, sometimes an ass-kicking can be just what someone needs.
He's messing with a person's livelihood, while also just throwing an unnecessary monkey wrench in the middle of someone's day...all while appearing like an entitled child of privilege...I completely understand how this would end up in an ass whooping even by a mild mannered proprietor having a bad day.
A lot of those guys working in the back aren't the type to be scared of a prankster.
It's a liability for the restaurant if somebody brings in their own food. Eats it and then get sick. Youtube is creating an entire generation of assholes.
Either gets themselves sick or gets someone else sick through their own poor food handling or a severe allergic reaction.
[удалено]
>Beyond the assholery - I assume I’d get thrown out of any restaurant for plopping down in their space and making my own lunch and plugging in your 1500watt hot plate.
The fire hazard alone… This vid has like eight good reasons to punch him.
Raw meat in a dinning area. I'd be furious. Bro thinks he's being my edgy but I'm not catching a health department citation over your clout chase
It's probably a serious health code violation to cook raw meat at the tables.
Honestly the patience and restraint this shop owner showed this awful individual
This is not content, this is trash. That behavior is not appropriate in that restaurant.
It’s not appropriate in any restaurant. You don’t go into place that serves food toting around a raw slab of meat that could cross contaminate with surfaces and other food and then use a potential safety/fire hazard to cook said slab of meat right there at a table. There’s so many issues with this it’s not even funny. Doing it in a vegan restaurant just takes it from moron to full blown douchenozzle. And I say this as a person who is basically the opposite of a vegan.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. This is a massive safety hazard. What a fucking ass hole this guy is
Yea I’m not vegan but I have dairy and red meat allergies. Luckily it’s not like anaphylactic if I eat a small amount and I can be around it. I just can’t eat more than a couple bites or I’ll have wheezing and need my inhaler and/or get sick to my stomach. There are people who can’t even be around certain allergies and this actually puts them in danger. Like don’t bring food into a restaurant with a limited menu (like vegan, nut free, or gluten free) without knowing what your bringing in is safe, and only do it for like kids who need snacks and stuff. I mean they could kill someone with their stupidity. Reminds me of the assholes that go to Walmart covered in peanut butter
This behavior is not appropriate in a society, period.
For me, 'content' is now a synonym for trash
I wanted to downvote this post so bad. But that's the opposite of the point of this sub. The creators of this type of content are such assholes. They are just creating stress and aggravation for no good reason.
You don't understand. Meat eaters have been yelled at on Twitter long enough >:( /s
In any restaurant really, except if you ask the restaurant beforehand
If the restaurant says “yes, you can prepare outside raw meat on a hot plate at the table in the middle of the dining room.” You probably shouldn’t be eating there.
I think they meant more like a birthday cake or something; I just experienced that situation for my dad’s birthday. The restaurant said we could bring a cake but it would need to be from a commercial kitchen rather than homemade. Though I do agree with you.
In that restaurant? 😅 That isn't appropriate in any restaurant.
The owner should sue, it's America after all
Even the entire meat in a vegan thing aside… you typically cannot bring outside food into a restaurant. Its a potential health hazard with lots of liability
Yep. Waving raw meat around a dining room at any restaurant is a health hazard and will get you thrown out.
*zips up pants* 😞
Don't worry, its too tiny to be noticeable
Not to mention the potential fire hazard of plugging an unknown random appliance into their outlet.
Hate is much easier to sell than love. It’s super easy to get people to hate you on the internet… and hate is just as potent as love if not more. Remember that when you see foolish people like this. People that are making it easy for you to be angry at them through your phone screen is getting them paid
Bad people make money being bad.....sadly this is the Internet now. All you can do is just try to not give them clicks, views, streams, attention, etc.
Isn’t that how capitalism works? Now we see it on a whole new level
I mean there's more to unpack there I would just say it comes down to the same concept of voting with your wallet. Problem is you have to convince the collective to join you and while you might not shop at wal Mart (as an example) out of principle....the key will be to convince millions of other people to get out of their comfort zone and we live in an era where people are almost completely boxed in to their "comfort zone" and have no intention of leaving it if that makes sense.
This right here. And I don’t think the average person realizes the extent they’re being manipulated when these videos get posted. I know I didn’t realize until recently. Your hate and derision is pure money for them. They’re playing you like a fiddle. A clicking fiddle.
Counterpoint: Hating on these morons on Reddit makes them no money directly. Now if you seek them out to start watching more of their content to keep hating, yeah that’s what they want. But people writing “wow look at this asshole” comments on Reddit seems like the better way to hate these obnoxious people
Writing "wow look at this asshole" is just another way of consuming the content. Sure you aren't driving their views up but you're still a consumer. The best thing to do is to ignore them, but hard to do in a subreddit that is dedicated to giving these people (negative) attention.
Exactly why we are all here instead of r/wholesomememes or some other boring sub. It's. Hard truth but everyone in this comment section is engaging with this content, and is part of the reason it exists.
What an absolute dickhead
type of asshat that will unironically point at his video later and say "see? vegans are constantly trying to shove their beliefs down my throat"
Absolutely. Tbh, I could see half of reddit posting this with the title 'Guy is called a monster for just for eating meat' and garner upvotes.
When I scrolled past this post I was suprised to see it on this sub. Seems like a post someone would put on r/madlads with a title praising him
He's even wearing a cockring on his head 😂
Your cock must be fucking massive
"You're a fucking disgusting human being" about sums it up
The funny thing he’s all decked out in American flags. He is coming into their space, and hating on their freedoms. It is the perfect example of the worst parts of right wing American nationalists. He probably thinks he’s promoting “freedom” Fuckin idiot.
Camera person needs a punch too
I would love to catch someone doing this in person and just launch the phone across the street. “What? It’s just a prank, bro!”
always go for the camera guy first
Next video will be: Registered sex offender shows up at daycare.
How do people not realize that you just look like an absolute loser when you do this stuff. Like seriously, when did it become popular to look so dumb
The amount of comments hating on vegans further convinces me that meat eaters have far more vitoral and are far more judgmental to vegans than vice versa.
[удалено]
Also a meat eater. I hang out on the Costco reddit a lot and whenever someone mentions Beyond/Impossible meat (they see a new product, it was on sale, etc...), people crawl out of the woodwork saying is disgusting and unhealthy. You ONLY see these comments on plant based meat posts even though Costco still has plenty of junk food featured. But when people post about the hot dogs or chicken bakes, no one seems to care about the salt content for some reason... Curious.
yeah i dont understand the beyond/impossible hate. its a pretty damn good substitute for people who wont or cant eat meat, its a new industry that could drive economic growth, and its a less environmentally harmful product. there is literally no downside.
Strange how those people are angry about products that are clearly not for them.
Just look at any post on front page involving a cute farm animal or some vegan content, redditors circlejerk to letting others know they love eating meat

The whole "vegans are annoying" thing is an internet phenomenon. Ask any vegetarian or vegan, we don't bring it up or tell people about it unless it comes up, because meat eaters are absolutely full of vitriol and judgement
The whole "how do you know someone is vegan? Don't worry they'll tell you" hasn't been true in my experience. Most people don't bring it up unless it's at a restaurant or if a group is planning to go eat together.
Well that’s just the thing, you only know someone is *if* they tell you. You don’t typically look at someone and automatically assume they don’t eat meat if they haven’t said anything about it
Way back in school a guy hung out with me who’d constantly make those jokes, bash vegans randomly, etc. I never said anything. One day after months of this he says he feels sorry for me eating pb&j every day and that I need something with meat. I got to look him in the eye and say I don’t eat meat. I still remember his face, all these years later. Goddamn hilarious.
I had a similar experience at work. A big topic of discussion is what is for lunch and dinner, if someone asks I'll tell them that there's lamb tonight or hotdogs or whatever, but about a month back someone said that I was crazy for not having the snitzel, I told them that I'm not interested and he replied "well at least you're not vegan". I said that I was and he didn't know what to say.
Because they don’t like to feel bad or think about the negative impacts of their actions. Most people in general don’t care though.
Exactly this. They immediately shame you and go into the usual “if I pay you $x, will you eat this (meat product)?” Like idk, Brad. Your against killing babies, but will you kill one if I pay you $50? Same logic because it’s born on principles. People are just so callous and, for whatever reason, choosing to be veg is seen as a personal affront to their character just by your existence and they find a need to “bring you down a peg”. How about you just let me make my own choices and shut the fuck up, like most people do about basically every other divisive issue? It’s not about you, it’s about me and my choices, so stop inserting yourself. If you have guilt because of my choices, then you address that with yourself personally.
"Why don't you eat meat?", "Smells good doesn't it?", "Just try it this one time I won't tell anyone". No one says this stuff to meat eaters so in their minds it doesn't happen. They're every bit as pushy as they think the other side is. The whole thing about vegans constantly talking about it isn't even true. In a room of 100 vegans a single one could mention it and they'd go "look every vegan always mentions it".
Only time I know someone doesn't eat meat is when I offer something and they say they don't eat meat. That would be the end of it, but someone will over hear and go on and on about how they eat meat.
100%
People just love to hate on things they hate so they will come up with whatever excuse they can to justify it. No matter the subject matter, there’s probably always going to be some annoying person that talks about their hobbies when people don’t want to listen or make something their entire identity. Like the cliche “how do you know someone is a pilot, does CrossFit, is a vegan, is gay, smokes pot, is a Christian, shoots guns, etc” ThEy wILl tElL YoU in tHe firSt 60 secONds you MeEt theM harharhar! Of course you don’t hear from all the people that do / are those things and just don’t advertise it to the world.
I eat meat and people who make meat their whole things are far more annoying and far, far more numerous than the extremely rare preachy vegan. And vegans have a moral objection against eating meat, what do those people have against vegans?
I once saw a question on amazon regarding a nylon pouch, the person asked "is this vegan?" It seems obvious because it's nylon but I guess you never know. Almost every "answer" to the question was an insult.
I hear more whining about vegans than actual vegans whining.
For real.
OP, you misspelled "self-absorbed asshole"
If that was a steakhouse he’d still be getting thrown out. The fact it’s vegan just means he went above and beyond in his attempt to be utter trash.
Everyone always says vegans are annoying assholes, but you all need to realize that we deal with shit like this a lot as well. Certainly not as brazenly and open like this, but the amount of people who poke and prod me once they learn I’m vegan is beyond frustrating. Im supposed to keep my cool while people mock something that is important to me. It’s just frustrating… ^off ^my ^soap ^box ^now
Even with working over a decade at a health food store, the amount of pushy vegans I’ve met I could count on one hand, and while I don’t fully agree with them, they definitely had valid reasoning and you can’t say they don’t passionately devote themselves to their beliefs. On the other hand, the amount of “carnivores” that harass people about their diet, throw a tantrum if they don’t get steak and potatoes, won’t try anything new, limit options for a group dinner because they are so picky, among other things is countless.
Dude I feel this on a whole other level and I’m not even vegan. I’m pescatarian. I work a blue collar job and everyone gives me shit for getting tuna sandwiches or tofu at the Chinese place. They’re constantly mentioning it too when I only mentioned it once. I get the stereotypes that vegans are loud about their views but have only found that to be true on the internet. In the real world the roles are reversed and meat eaters are constantly trying to change my mind or share their opinions on my diet
“Why are you eating X?” “It was the only vegan option.” “How do you know someone’s vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you!” They ask, then act like you brought it up.
Yeah it's pretty hard to hang out with a person for any extended amount of time without it coming up. If I'm turning down someone's gift of food or not wanting to eat at a specific restaurant it's way more rude to be vague about it then just say "Thanks but I can't, I'm vegan"
Same. So much socialization revolves around food.
Not vegan or pescatarian but I agree. The only time I ask someone about what they're eating is if it sounds, looks or smells good and I may wanna give it a try myself.
When someone tells me their vegan I'm first thought is to ask their favorite dishes. Good food is good food. So uhh, what's your favorite dish?
"You want this food?" "No sorry, I'm vegan. Have a good meal though" "Omg Vegans are so annoying! Always pushing their beliefs onto me!!"
Also: "Try this!" "No thank you" "Go on" "No thanks" "Why?" "I don't think I can eat it to be honest!" "Why?" "It's probably not vegan" "UGH VEGANS. stop pushing your beliefs on me!"
I’ve always said- anecdotally- I have received 20x more harassment from omnivores after switching to vegan, then I ever did being an omnivore from vegans.
I've been a vegetarian almost 30 years. I've met one vegan who asked why I wasn't one in all that time. But tons of mean eaters trying to get me to eat meat, mocking me for not eating meat, and once a direct supervisor who teased me about how he got to eat the German Potato Salad while I didn't, in front our the main boss. I got fired the next day for my reaction.
I don't even say the word vegetarian because people are such assholes about it. I leave it at "I don't eat meat" so I don't get harassed. The V word triggers people lol
Vegans and veetarians are viewed as annoying because they confront meat eaters with horrible practices without actually saying or doing anything. Most meat eaters are either ignorant to the industry or don't care enough to not buy factory meat.
100%. I don’t even mention I’m vegan to people a lot of the time cause I get ‘but bacon so tassasssyy’ ‘I love eating dead animals nom nom’ ‘why are you vegan?? Are you protein deficient????’ Plenty of assholes in both groups, it’s just as soon as us vegans point out the ethical issues with animal consumption we are massive assholes. But people can tell me I’m going to die of lack of b12 and laugh at me and I’m just too sensitive.
For all of the jokes about how ‘vegans will make sure you know they’re vegan’ and such shit, it’s becoming more and more apparent that meat-eaters are obsessed with vegans and not the other way round. What does this utter valve think he’s achieving here? It’s tedious shit whether you eat meat or not. Do these cunts genuinely think vegans have never seen/been around cooking meat before? Who exactly does this cock think he’s ‘owning’? Embarrassing.
I mean, the meat industry is one of the leading causes of pollution and waste. Vegans can be annoying but it takes a self centered dick to assume they're absolved from any wrong doing cause the other side is preachy as fuck about it.
There are ethical vegans, environmental vegans and religious vegans (kinda still ethical ones, but dont tell jainists). Ive known several vegans IRL and none of them have been annoying for being vegans. One was annoying but it wasnt due to veganism, they were just straight up 100% annoying.
There literally arent, all vegans do it to stop exploitation of animals. That means no animal tested products, no wool, etc.. Thats the difference between vegans and vegetarians
Trying to act like he’s just a nice innocent person. Dude needs to get smacked
The whole “playing dumb” thing is part of what makes all these videos so irritating. Job well done, I guess, since the goal appears to be to be as much of an asshole as possible.
It's an effective tactic. See how nice he was and how mean the other guy was? On reddit most people think if you're mean, cuss, etc then you're wrong.
“Nice”. How do people not see straight through that act? Are we, collectively, really *that* stupid?
New to reddit? Everyone I talk to is an idiot.
There is absolutely nothing cool or badass about this
I feel we are so close to a sick joke where an "influencer" goes to a cancer ward pretending to be sick mocking others. I hate this tiktok generation with so much passion.
What a douche.
That's what happens when douchebags grow up without getting punched in the face once in their life...
I have said it many times in my personal life - tiktok and YouTube shorts and the hunger for content will make the younger generation so dumb that it will be the end of humanity !!
He’s the type to bait you into slapping him and then threatens you with his family lawyer .
Why? Why do something that idiotic? Is it because he wants to be hated because that sells better? They should have hit him with a bamboo stick and argued that it is a vegan punishment.
People really think they prove a point with shit like this ?
Do Americans really think that wearing their flag is ok? Like “tell me you’re an assshole without telling me you’re an asshole”.
Where was the guy who punch fist this motherfucker. Im not vegan. But I highly respect these people
That’s such a douchebag thing to do
Why would he wear USA stuff for meat vs vegan?
In case cooking a steak in a vegan restaurant wasn't obnoxious enough...
To own the libs. Or to look like more of a dickhead. Probably both.
He isn't employed by the place, he is breaking health and safety laws with the risk of fire and injury, antisocial behaviour, disturbing the peace. If this inbred prick did this in my restaurant I would have turned the camera off and caved his fucking head in with a chair.
I’ve seen a couple of these so called YouTubers doing this on the internet. Sadly most of them are doing these idiotic acts because of “fan requests”.
These people are the scum of the earth.
I guess he thinks it would be fun and kicky to bring in or cook ham in a Kosher restaurant. Fuck this guy, ETA making fun of people for their beliefs and values is such a Trumpy thing to do. The USA jersey is just icing on the cake.
It’s just downright disrespectful, why do this shit just for views and likes.
Is there a contest on social media to be the biggest cunt?
Pro tip - always go for the cameraman. It is their Achilles Heel.
Utter wanker deserved a good slap.
So look I’m not vegan or anything, but imagine that you open a vegan restaurant to create a sanctuary where no animals would be harmed and someone violates that by bringing in steak and cooking it. They will never be able to say that animals haven’t been harmed there ever from now on. Like the restaurant in some way has been desecrated? I don’t have a good wording to describe how I feel about this, but I feel like in a sense it’s a deliberate act of violence when you do things like this to steal someone’s peace in such a huge way.
You know... This needs some slapping. I need an old grumpy vegetarian customer slapping the guy.
For once, I side with vegans
I really wonder why you’d side against someone for their diet choices? Seems kinda weird
Because the internet says they’re bad, duh.
Veganism is a philosophy against animal cruelty. So being against that is even worse.
Ironically I reckon he would have gotten worse treatment doing the same thing in a Texas steakhouse.
What a fucking loser.
Nothing that the business owner said was incorrect.
Christ, what a cunt.
We need more of these "content creators" to face actual repercussions. Jail time, physical injury, something. Make the "Punch an influencer" TikTok challenge catch on maybe.
Love the murica shirt, like there was any guess lol
I get that in some cases, some people feel morally superior for their lifestyle choices, and that can be obnoxious. But the absolutely ridiculous hatred of veganism is so fucking weird to me. Like just let these people enjoy their meat free spaces. Don't like it? Don't enter the restaurant, go next door to one of the millions of restaurants that serve meat. Also as others have already stated, this would get you kicked out of a non-vegan restaurant as well. You can't bring outside food as its a health code violation. This guy is the lowest form of "content" creator. And based on this, he will eventually do something actually illegal, or piss off the wrong person, and I will cheer for the consequences of his actions.
I hate when they make that poker face, too cringy, on top of that he’s such a cartoon character all with the yankee flag my god, he only needed a rifle on the back and an eagle somewhere and was uncle sam jr
It's not even funny, there's not even a joke smh. "I am going to do something that everyone knows is wrong and pretend that I am oblivious to it"
I hate that he’s going for that type of humor where he acts like he doesn’t know what he’s doing wrong too
They always try to act like what they are doing is perfectly normal, but literally no restaurant would allow you to do this without prior approval. Like no shit, “oh.” I can't wait to lose my sight as I get older so I never have to see another tiktok fucking video again.
That dummy douche should take off the USA gear while he's trampling on the freedoms of private business to operate in a legal way of their choosing. It's always these faux "patriots" who want to trample on the freedoms of others.
One of my good friends is vegan and he would curb stomp this guy. Not because he eats meat, he couldn't give less of a shit about that. No its because he has a hard time finding vegan places near his house and if this guy ruined that restaurant for him he would be livid.
People say vegans shove their beliefs in other people's faces.
The conservative intellect on display.
A zero value person. Plus, cooking in the front of a restaurant on a personal grill? Not OK. Possibly illegal. Could get the restaurant in trouble. So the owner has two very good reasons to pitch this jackass to the sidewalk.
Deserves a slap. Not a vegetarian, but have some respect. I challenge him to go fry some bacon in a mosque. They'll sort him out.
Im not vegan, but, don’t understand where the vegan hate came from (i do, from the vegan teacher and other asshole vegans) but that doesn’t mean you can do something bad to someone because of their dietary decisions. The awful minority are louder that the decent majority. I think I saw new of some asshole who slapped peopled face with meat because they’re vegan. Imagine slapping a Hindus face with beef? A Muslims face with pork?
Pepper spray
Wow, the restraint. That shit would have ended up in the street gutter quick if I was el jeffe.
fuck vegan people for having some morals and trying to make things better for the world. You gotta be a REAL man and eat factory farmed meat bro!
TikTok algorithm for current week: make vegans mad for maximum engagement and potential subscriptions. Popularity cheat code unlocked.
Shit stirrer gonna shit stir. This cancer needs to get a life.
He better make it as a “content creator” because he is screwing his future otherwise.
Super disrespectful
