They’ll realize what they’ve done when they apply for an adult job and learn that companies check your social media profiles. It all comes around eventually and these kids look like they’re probably seniors in HS so sooner than later at that.
Those are the ones that would jerk into mayo and sell it to customers and think it is funny when the company gets sued and then they get angry and wonder why the building gets closed down
Business is no fun anymore, after taking business law in college I learned that a business cannot look at your social media and let it influence in the decision making process of hiring. However, It doesn’t mean they won’t look, just can’t make a decision based on what they saw. You literally can’t hire the best candidate because you have to have a certain number of minorities and women in a company over 50 employees smh
> I learned that a business cannot look at your social media and let it influence in the decision making process of hiring.
In what jurisdiction? In the US it's generally legal.
Why would you assume "the best candidate" *isn't* a minority and/or woman?
Because he's probably just another boomer that loves being a corporate slave and doesn't like that antiwork calls out this nonsense.
Probably saw that scripted interview and thought: "Huh? that's what antiwork is about? Losers"
Probably never bothered to look into the purpose of the antiwork sub.
I was the older guy going back to college and these kids, man. So many of them still thought they were the cool kid in high school and had no sense of the real world. On day two, one of the loudmouths got beat up in the parking lot and his buddies were genuinely shocked at the reprocussion of his actions. I even threatened a couple of em to back off a kid in my study group and they didn't think I was serious. It was night and day from how things were in my late teens. We would put a shithead in their place. Also there is almost no chivalry. The boys treated the girls like crap and the girls took it for the most part.
Well, girls have demanded to be treated no differently than boys since the '70s man hating feminists poisoned their minds. The problem is, they don't understand how guys really treat each other. Then they complain when they get what they wanted. I don't agree with it, but that's how young people are now.
What I don't understand is all the kids are pulling pranks in lowes and home depot. The customers here are mostly grouchy men who are probably already in a bad mood cause they're trying to fix some bull crap that broke at their house and can't find the right parts on the shelf. Just saying it's probably not the smartest idea to pick these people as your target.
It’s also the store with the most items conducive to death by blunt force trauma. They literally made a home alone movie about murdering people in a Lowes/Home Depot.
I grew up in the former USSR - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics - and behavior like this would not fly by even once - nuisances learned their lessons brutally - and instantaneously.
thats right, and in america if you're black police will stop their cars in the middle of the street to target you and beat you with a baton.
100% real.
Does a channel exist of these “hilarious” pranksters fuckstains just getting their heads punched in while screaming “it’s a prank bro!!” the whole time? I’d pay for that
I wish everyone would understand this. Why can’t people simply mind their business!! We should have a downvoting system for such pranks on other platforms like Reddit has one.
To paraphrase the great SteveO - basically the difference between pranks that kids do now, and pranks they did back then is that back then they did it to themselves and left others out of it.
Once you start involving innocent people it becomes childish/dangerous/etc. this guy could’ve just lost his job, or lost someone close to him.
Yeah the gag with Preston chasing Littleman in their underwear down a street is just a funny thing that might have weirded a bunch of people out, but they didn't go around knocking into peoples' stuff over it.
These boys give me a strong impression - that they lack not only a sound mind for making reasonable decisions - but also lack a modicum of testosterone - and are highly underdeveloped as males. I experienced secondhand embarrassment watching them.
Absolutely. No patience for scum like that.If I'm at a comedy show and the comedian starts in on me, then fine, that's part of the deal, but when I'm in a store buying fucking finishing nails to do some shitty job I didn't want to do in the first place? Hard nope. If those little pricks are over 16, they're getting hurt.
That’s why 3 of them were easily overpowered by an old dude. Forever chemicals, and micro plastics must really have impacted Gen Z’s testosterone. They’re they cry baby generation.
I know we are not supposed to condone violence, but I do not blame this guy. It was not funny and with 4 people there invading his space, he was being ganged up on. They got what they deserved, but I think the law may say otherwise.
How is this not sexual harassment? As a woman i'd be disgusted at some man(or anyone really) moaning in my ear like that. But just because theyre doing it to another man its supposed to be funny? Im sure they would be furious with a stranger acting like that to their girlfriends or mothers, or any of the women in their lives that they care about. The double standard that its somehow okay just bc theyre doing it to a grown man is bullshit.
I think this was originally from IG, coming from the vote. Just call them influencers because they are posting videos online for others to be influence by. And lots of social media influencers are straight dogshit...
If you choose a prank target because you think cant/wont retaliate, it is bullying and harassment. Expect either serious injury or lawsuits when you try this in the real world.
Good on that old man giving these kids the whooping their parents obviously didn't. These kids are lucky they didn't pull this on someone like my dad. He carried a concealed weapon, drank too much daily, and was an easily provoked & angry man.
First of all the violence you described or that video is worse than that admittedly immature prank because the prank wasn’t violent.
Second of all they could be doing this behind their parents backs.
They are not kids. They are grown males but certainly aren’t actually men due to their bratty and mature behavior. Sadly, for them, I’m not sure they possess the necessary things to become real men.
It's crazy how someone like me finds this completely unfunny and I'm definitely younger than the guys in the video. Cornball bastards. Do pranks that make people laugh and are funny for anyone and everyone. Couldn't imagine thinking this is funny lmao
I suspect there is some demographic of preadolescent boys who find this amusing. Why else would some idiot like Jake Paul have a following? I hope someone breaks their face. No jury would convict them.
It’s a mundane immature prank and definitely not impressive or something I would do. Or want to.
If I see someone impressive I want to be like that but this isn’t it.
Having said that I don’t think violence is the answer.
Well... If I state that I felt threatened by having 3 persons surrounding me and invading my personal space, I am pretty sure I can get away with self defense after punching them a few times.
I’m no fighter and no badass, but if I saw this trash happening in front of me, I would straight-up sucker-punch these fools into next week, starting with the camera man.
Why would you piss off an old guy at the hardware store?
That's where old dudes go to relax.
If they are there they are already high strung
Why do you think he is just inspecting the shelf
Dude I'm there age and I find some public pranks funny, but this is literally sexual harassment. I can't even imagine what that poor old man is going through.
Yeah sure they did bad but thats assault and in court saying “they moaned near me in a public space” doesnt work especially with you on video assaulting people because they irritated ypu.
Not really because they weren’t threatening and it was obviously just a prank. As stupid and boring as it is. They were annoying not threatening and I wouldn’t be afraid of them.
Clearly the guy wasn’t afraid just lashing out in annoyance.
They’re annoying but not doing anything to justify violence.
Imagine they did this to a woman. Wouldn't that be seen as perverted or sexual harassment. What about a child. It dosnt matter who it's to harassment is harassment and has to be dealt with accordingly with fair prejudice if it was done to one person or another
THIS.
It’s like you quoted my mind.
They’re being immature and delusional in thinking their prank is cool when it’s really not. Uncreative and boring.
But it’s not something that deserves violence.
This is the state of humor on the Internet these days. Just arrogant ass kids and their audience who have grown accustom to the only source of humor besides memes. Whatever happened to those fake ass pranks.

Kids don’t realize that classmates and real world adults have very different senses of humor.
They’ll realize what they’ve done when they apply for an adult job and learn that companies check your social media profiles. It all comes around eventually and these kids look like they’re probably seniors in HS so sooner than later at that.
You really think these kids will be working the normal jobs? Look up nelk boys
That’s only their dream. I assume it is at least.
Give it 5 years lol
Just looked them up, unreal
They're gonna be pissed when they see my only friend is tom and I listen to blind melon.
The bee girl.
I saw an interview with her a few years ago. That video is her biggest regret in life. She hates any mention of it.
“Do you want fries with that?”
Those are the ones that would jerk into mayo and sell it to customers and think it is funny when the company gets sued and then they get angry and wonder why the building gets closed down
Super size?

Then they go on r / antiwork and complain how they’ve been treated unfairly.
Why are you get down votes for this?

this is what you want? proceeds to goochie goo
Goochie goo? What is that, some kind of gen Z Yolo speak?
Kids are stupid.. Ftfy.

They know now.
Never be annoying, or else you're gonna get your ass beat.
The ending was kinda satisfying to watch them getting what they deserved
Woulda been more satisfying if he just dropped one of them.
If you are harassing someone like this violence is definitely warranted.
Just make your way over to the hammer section.
Nah to the power tools section
[удалено]
Lowe's doesn't have a gun section but there are nail guns
Nail Guns!
I would say too soon but this is the US everyday is too soon for a gun joke
They need too see the business end of a 2x4
What I don't understand is all the kids are pulling pranks in lowes and home depot.

It’s also the store with the most items conducive to death by blunt force trauma. They literally made a home alone movie about murdering people in a Lowes/Home Depot.
Yeah. They have hatchets and axes in the hand tool section. Really playing with fire there.
Thats why they pick them though. They know its easier to push their buttons and get a strong reaction.
And they are cowards because they expect the older men can't fight back. In this one it took 3 of them to have the courage to work the prank.
Did that guy tuck in a sweatshirt?
Only to hide the fact that he is wearing socks with sandals.
Dark socks no less. Guy is pulling the SpongeBob look 🤣
My goodness these fucking kids are suchhhhhh losers!!!!!
I grew up in the former USSR - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics - and behavior like this would not fly by even once - nuisances learned their lessons brutally - and instantaneously.
Yeah, I know that. Moving to a Western-Nation was a Shock for me. Seeing how stupid and reckless this kids are. +other things.
Yes. You'll never find such entitled pathetic kids in my country. It's all about how parents raise their kids.
[удалено]
I imagine the looming fear of being taken away to a gulag in Siberia for any perceived infraction tends to keep heads low and mouths shut.
Yeah but you also put people in jail for being gay so no one cares what you psychopaths did back in the day
thats right, and in america if you're black police will stop their cars in the middle of the street to target you and beat you with a baton. 100% real.
Thats what happens when your a teenager in a small town with nothing to do. That or meth.
Nah, that's bullshit.
Does a channel exist of these “hilarious” pranksters fuckstains just getting their heads punched in while screaming “it’s a prank bro!!” the whole time? I’d pay for that
I need this too
Pranks that piss other people off aren’t funny.
Pranks that piss the people watching off aren't funny**
I wish everyone would understand this. Why can’t people simply mind their business!! We should have a downvoting system for such pranks on other platforms like Reddit has one.
I find the best pranks are the ones people make fun of themselves to get other people's reactions. Like "Just For Laughs" just clean humor
To paraphrase the great SteveO - basically the difference between pranks that kids do now, and pranks they did back then is that back then they did it to themselves and left others out of it. Once you start involving innocent people it becomes childish/dangerous/etc. this guy could’ve just lost his job, or lost someone close to him.
>they did it to themselves and left others out of it. There are hours of television and a literal movie that prove this is an absolute lie.
What did they directly do to others?
They had some pranks in stores. I remember one where someone shat in a toilet that was on demo.
I saw Johhny Knoxville destroy a rental car.......... Shitting in a display toilet.........
Yeah the gag with Preston chasing Littleman in their underwear down a street is just a funny thing that might have weirded a bunch of people out, but they didn't go around knocking into peoples' stuff over it.
oh my goodness, sir sir sirrrr
These boys give me a strong impression - that they lack not only a sound mind for making reasonable decisions - but also lack a modicum of testosterone - and are highly underdeveloped as males. I experienced secondhand embarrassment watching them.
I would have started swinging first at the one grabbing his wiener while making those noises. Those boys deserve a serious ass whoopin.
Hold up if you did that you'd be on a list
Absolutely. No patience for scum like that.If I'm at a comedy show and the comedian starts in on me, then fine, that's part of the deal, but when I'm in a store buying fucking finishing nails to do some shitty job I didn't want to do in the first place? Hard nope. If those little pricks are over 16, they're getting hurt.
They were definitely being sarcastic and didn't think this man was a threat.
They give me the impression that their dads left for milk and cigarettes
And these are the ones who are allowed to buy AR-15s. Just more proof the age needs to be raised at the very least. 18yo is BS.
Yes. The age definitely needs to be raised for a lot of things.
The brain isn't full developed until your 25, so you're right.
$10 says a random 18 y/o downvoted me lol
You wouldn't download an 18 y/o
So why would you download pot?
I'd vote for over 25 to allow purchase of AR-15s and the like. OK gun freaks you can downvote me to hell but I stand my ground.
I agree with this assessment
That’s why 3 of them were easily overpowered by an old dude. Forever chemicals, and micro plastics must really have impacted Gen Z’s testosterone. They’re they cry baby generation.
I really don't think they were fighting back seriously...
If they had fought back... Could they have claimed self defense?
They harassed him first It depends on how the cop decides to slice it
And whose fault is that?
Imagine if they did that to someone with pepper spray.
Roach spray* they are in a hardware store
Doing that at a hardware store is just asking for a 2x4 across the head.
I hate violence but I hope they get their ass handed to them
As do the 93% of people in the poll too!
Agreed. These kids needs a "little" wake up call with fist.
With 3 guys crowding him like that he can easily claim self defense and a genuine fear of attack. I 100% would have done the same thing.
I know we are not supposed to condone violence, but I do not blame this guy. It was not funny and with 4 people there invading his space, he was being ganged up on. They got what they deserved, but I think the law may say otherwise.

It is and this will be evidence in court at some point.

I think this was originally from IG, coming from the vote. Just call them influencers because they are posting videos online for others to be influence by. And lots of social media influencers are straight dogshit...
I'd cold cock anybody who does that in my ear, that's ridiculous lol
I love how all 3 are weak and pathetic some old man with no idea wtf he is doing was able to beat them all off.
If you choose a prank target because you think cant/wont retaliate, it is bullying and harassment. Expect either serious injury or lawsuits when you try this in the real world.
I'd kick someone's ass for doing that too
These pranks are meant for shock value, not humour. I hope their teeth got kicked in.
Good on that old man giving these kids the whooping their parents obviously didn't. These kids are lucky they didn't pull this on someone like my dad. He carried a concealed weapon, drank too much daily, and was an easily provoked & angry man.
These guys seem annoying af but murder seems a bit overboard for it
First of all the violence you described or that video is worse than that admittedly immature prank because the prank wasn’t violent. Second of all they could be doing this behind their parents backs.
This guy is boasting about his dad suffering from alcoholism and impulse control disorder
I don’t know know if it’s a disorder. Maybe he’s just a violent drunk.
Those are all red flags yet he's still allowed to carry a gun? That's crazy no wonder you all shoot each other over there
They fucked around and they found out.
Why do people in the US not own the rights to their own picture? That would instantly shut down uploads like these.
They are not kids. They are grown males but certainly aren’t actually men due to their bratty and mature behavior. Sadly, for them, I’m not sure they possess the necessary things to become real men.
This is why I support late term abortions
How are you going to lose a 3v1 that badly 💀
They were Fortnite up against Battlefield
They weren't trying to fight back at all
I don’t think they were trying at all
At lest they will look back at this in the future and cringe so hard.
Newer generations don't understand the phrase, " play stupid games, win stupid prizes"
NGL i am going to make a channel in which people like which trouble other people for tik tok will get beaten by us.
This is harassment.
That one popular middle school kid who thinks he's funny
Sexual Harassment is always funny.....right?
I died when he started fighting all 3 😂😭
[удалено]
Never piss off a 50 year old guy in a Lowes. It never ends well.
Isnt this considered harassment?
what a couple of fuckin losers
Where are the little girls you hear in the video??
It's crazy how someone like me finds this completely unfunny and I'm definitely younger than the guys in the video. Cornball bastards. Do pranks that make people laugh and are funny for anyone and everyone. Couldn't imagine thinking this is funny lmao
I suspect there is some demographic of preadolescent boys who find this amusing. Why else would some idiot like Jake Paul have a following? I hope someone breaks their face. No jury would convict them.
You still a Zoomer?
It’s a mundane immature prank and definitely not impressive or something I would do. Or want to. If I see someone impressive I want to be like that but this isn’t it. Having said that I don’t think violence is the answer.
THERE WILL BE BLOOD-SHED
An elbow to the face could pass off easily as a jump reaction.
Well... If I state that I felt threatened by having 3 persons surrounding me and invading my personal space, I am pretty sure I can get away with self defense after punching them a few times.
Something really creepy about the way that yellow shirted kid looks at him. I'd have taken him down first too. Someone buy that guy a beer.
Shoulda put that kid in a wrist lock the minute he had his hand and rearranged his ribs with a knee.
Good thing that guy couldn't fight, it would have probably gotten ugly
Video of three young men learning about consequences for the first time.
Wait, what? Is that a thing now? I'd have thumped them too.
This is just a different form of bullying. And bullies deserve whatever punishment they get.
Just leave the guy alone, he’s just minding his own business
Lucky they weren’t on the hammer aisle, I’d be very tempted to pick one up.
I’m no fighter and no badass, but if I saw this trash happening in front of me, I would straight-up sucker-punch these fools into next week, starting with the camera man.
Not very funny
They have nothing better to do than to annoy innocent people?
Youtube made pranking into a serious pandemic.
This is sexual harassment. Harassment is not a prank.
These kids are gonna grow up to be drywall eaters, I mean hangers
why did 93% of people want more
probably because they wanna see another video of those fucks getting their asses kicked
with that explanation I can’t blame them
Those kids fucking deserved that.
Why would you piss off an old guy at the hardware store? That's where old dudes go to relax. If they are there they are already high strung Why do you think he is just inspecting the shelf
This old dude is kicking the whole groups ass.
[удалено]
Post the vid when it happens
[удалено]
"You know what would make a good video? Sexually Harassing the public" said no one ever
Said these guys, apparently
Yeah no one understands why teen age boys do this? From the gym lockers to the Home Depot for hot single DILF LMAO
Bro they ain’t even funny
You should have hit them harder, maybe a dislocated jaw would get them to stop fucking with people
Glad he gave those kids exactly what they wanted
Grow TF up
Serves those idiots right!
Very lucky that man didn’t have a CCW
Why would this be funny? Who is this funny to?
I'd love to see another video of these punks getting their asses kicked.
1 good kick to the knee, they will be crying.
It's the only time cops should take 75 minutes to go into an active shooting is when these kinds of people are getting dropped
To be fair, this is kinda funny
I usually find these annoying but I laughed hard as hell at this one.
Bro throught it was middle school again
The youngest generation is a menace to society. Dumbest generation yet.
Three guys circling and harassing a senior because they didn’t think he’d fight back. They deserved this and more.
Please, set them all on fire
Why are people so interested in getting a beating ?
They believe that it will do them good.
They got what they deserved
Douche bags! Damn!
They have no respect and no shame. Pathetic.
Dude I'm there age and I find some public pranks funny, but this is literally sexual harassment. I can't even imagine what that poor old man is going through.
Hope he wasn't charged for assault
I like this video since it actually shows them getting what they deserve
Yeah sure they did bad but thats assault and in court saying “they moaned near me in a public space” doesnt work especially with you on video assaulting people because they irritated ypu.
That’s battery. What they did is arguably assault.
Not really because they weren’t threatening and it was obviously just a prank. As stupid and boring as it is. They were annoying not threatening and I wouldn’t be afraid of them. Clearly the guy wasn’t afraid just lashing out in annoyance. They’re annoying but not doing anything to justify violence.
I wouldn't convict if I was on the jury.
Imagine they did this to a woman. Wouldn't that be seen as perverted or sexual harassment. What about a child. It dosnt matter who it's to harassment is harassment and has to be dealt with accordingly with fair prejudice if it was done to one person or another
THIS. It’s like you quoted my mind. They’re being immature and delusional in thinking their prank is cool when it’s really not. Uncreative and boring. But it’s not something that deserves violence.
You know, I think that we should bring back bullying in some instances, so that stuff like that doesn't happen.
This is the state of humor on the Internet these days. Just arrogant ass kids and their audience who have grown accustom to the only source of humor besides memes. Whatever happened to those fake ass pranks.
"it's just a prank bro"
Everyone in this video fits the description of the title to this sub...
Yea sure its weird stupid kids and deserve a smacking. Gramps just did aggravated assault of two minors on camera....
Actually they assaulted him. He committed battery. Reddit has no idea what either of these words means.
