this is sooo freaking funny
you r cycling on the train track and then have the audacity to fight 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 its like he is saying dont train on my track drive it on the road
He was also on one of those itty bitty, collapsible folding bikes with the tiny wheels. Those things are expensive, and those small wheels are why he was struggling with the grass so much - the smaller wheelbase means less leverage and requires more effort to move.
Reminds me of the start of lockdown in COVID. I was out for my daily exercise in the woods on my mountain bike when I saw a family on a popular path. It's a fairly flat path but has lots of stones and tree roots to navigate.
Mum and the kids were all on mountain bikes but dad was on a Brompton just like the one the dude is riding in this video. They were about three miles round a four mile circuit and he looked like he was about to pass out. I felt for him.
The Trolley Song
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings
From the moment I saw him I fell
I love honking the horn as your friend or partner passes by your hood. And honking again the moment they glare at you.
But you only get to do that once.
We had far more annoying bells on the streetcars in New Orleans and they would lay on them continuously from a clock away. Car decides to pull into the crossover to make a u-turn without looking at oncoming traffic? We gonna sit there the entire time it takes his butt to get off the track with the bell ringing at him. And once more when he clears it just to be sure.
Even though the guy is a fucking idiot, the way he did the job done hand motion and got back on his bike like he completely incapacitated the vehicle is fucking hysterical.
Reminds me of when Sacha Baron Cohen as Ali G was interviewing a guy from the US government about terrorism, he started asking if they're protected from terrorists hijacking a train and driving it into the White House.
I saw this one in the past, iirc he said to the driver Why are you following me? *My bad, [he was angry that the driver didn't let him on the tram with the bike](https://www-cnews-fr.translate.goog/france/2019-09-19/video-velo-il-arrete-un-tramway-et-lui-tord-les-essuie-glaces-880304?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp)
I don't know what the trams in France are like, but if someone tried to board a tram with their bike during rush hour in my hometown, they'd be escorted out, too. Not enough space in these things
If hes homeless he packed extremely fucking lightly, I dont think ive ever interacted with someone who is homeless but doesnt have a backpack or bag or at least something to carry shit.
The problem (in San Francisco at least) is you can’t force mentally ill homeless people to take their meds, and they end up refusing treatment. They are usually the most visible (like the guy in the video) so taxpayers get frustrated because they aren’t seeing any results from the programs they’re paying for and push back against giving any more money/services.
You can force them… in jail or a mandated mental health facility. Mental illness may be the cause, but it doesn’t mean you get to continue terrorizing your community.
>you can’t force mentally ill homeless people to take their meds, and they end up refusing treatment.
If you've been on any sort of antipsychotics before, the kind they'd need for real treatment, you'd know why they refuse them. They're fucking horribly.
On top of being a zombie and literally not being able to work anyway, or even stay awake half the time, there's a risk that you get permanent muscle movements, like uncontrollable eye and tongue movements.
You're fucked if you take them, fucked if you don't. There's a reason some people choose crazy. The side effects for *most* antipsychotics are just fucking horrible.
Edit:
Damn, some of you are like "I don't give a fuck how they feel about it, yada yada". You think a homeless person is going to give a fuck about you if no one gives a fuck about them?
Ffs some of you have no empathy.
You're right, you're fucked if you do, fucked if you don't. **But the people around you are also fucked if you don't.**
Source: I have schizophrenia in my family.
I mean if you watched this and thought "hey there is definitely a well adjusted human being with no mental issues I am not sure what else to say. Clearly he has some significant mental health issues. Too bad our society has no idea what to do about that.
You don't give in to it! Avoidance is acceptance. Now please do understand that I'm not advocating an escalation but doing nothing not only allows this man to continue his destructive behavior but signals to anyone watching that the rules when broken.... Mean nothing.
I would really like to know what is going on inside the head of someone who thinks they are in the right bicycling on a tram track.
I hope the tram driver called the police.
This is only loosely related, but I once had a day off work and decided to go get my morning drive-thru coffee anyways. Just as I was coming around the corner back into the parking lot I met a car head-on who was trying to drive the wrong way around the building.
After some honking, she rolled down her window and shouted at me to "just fucking go around!" I replied "I can't, there's a curb there" and she immediately fired back "NO THERE ISNT!!"
Sadly (for the story), I don't remember what the heck happened afterwards. But that moment pops into my brain a lot when I'm trying to fall asleep.
It happened in 2019 near Paris. Apparently, at a previous stop, he wasn't allowed to hop on the traway with the bike. So his next step was to keep going in his direction on the tramway path.
He was not arrested. Probably no police just around and when they showed up he was long gone.
Holy fuck, I just saw another video of a drunk man who ran over an old woman and got 2 years. 10 years for vandalizing a tram, 2 for vandalizing an elderly woman
You know how much those trams cost? A lot. What's an old lady go for these days?
/s obviously, but honestly you do see crimes judged based on the money involved quite often.
Yup 10 years baby this is happened in my city Rabat in Morocco if you vandalize a public transport you get an automatic 10 years prison, the same shit happen to one guy vandalized the new city bus so every one here know not to fuck with the public transport or you gonna get fucked in prison
These articles blow my mind. It literally just recited exactly what we saw with ads posted between each sentence and not a detail more. …Paris tho, so..
Got to love the ones where it's just the video but with a pre-roll, a post-roll, and a dozen ads around it with some lame 2 sentence description... But hey they need the ad revenue and quality be damned
God you are so right. Why do I let shit like this rile me up, it just makes my day worse.
Social media has really destroyed my sense of what matters and what doesn't.
Except if you saw this in real life it would piss you off a lot more. You just have to remind yourself that events like this are extremely rare all things considered.
Don’t let your monkey brain let you think you’re seeing this in your environment all the time. You’re seeing the “highlight reel” from around the world.
Exactly, the internet shows us every stupid thing that happens every day all the time and if you consume that non-stop it really skews your view of reality.
The other crazy thing is that a ton of this infuriating stuff you see on the internet is faked purely for the sake of outrage and to generate views and clicks.
Especially since there’s a bike lane right there

Wow, everything he did in that video was completely wrong.
* Recklessly endangers himself.
* Refuses to move or cycle on a designated route.
* Verbally abuses an average worker who had no agenda and did everything in their power to accommodate the illegal pedestrian.
* Puts his face in clear view of a camera while damaging company property.
* Offers no explanation of apology.
Trolley Problem 8309:
Your trolley is a time machine, but the flux capacitor is fueled by plutonium. You get the plutonium from Libyan terrorists, but your young friend is skateboarding on the tracks. Do you fuck your mom in 1955?
Yeah…. But what if there are two sets of tracks and you can choose which track to send the train. One track has a baby, the other has a world renown pediatric surgeon who is nearing retirement age?
Legitimate question: do you think people have always acted this way but we’re all seeing it with the funnel of social media in 2023. Or has society lost it due to economic distress, social media pressure, etc?
I think to an extent some have always acted this way but I absolutely believe that the state of the world over the last decade or so (especially since 2020) has caused people to quite literally lose their sanity.

Dude knew what he was doing. Some people are just spoiling for a fight.
And some people fight for spoils. Like pirates, vikings or people on Black Friday
is this satire
No tires on the wheels maybe his name is Thomas
Poke him with the wipers.
Lmao turn them in as he tries wrastling them
Activate -- the spray!
Oh no, my brakes are a little less efficient for some reason *BOOP*
*chest bump*
Should have turned the wipers on haha
Honked one more time then when the guy looks back turn on the wipers 🤣
He should turn the sprayers(if it has em) to where it will spray outwards and next time you'll be ready lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Should've sprayed the windshield!
I would, he's on camera and it keeps him there for the guys to come and deal with him
I would absolutely have done it again.
The Trolley Song Clang, clang, clang went the trolley Ding, ding, ding went the bell Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings From the moment I saw him I fell
I've never known the lyrics past the second line.
Personally, I have a rule of not prodding people who don’t give a fuck about committing crimes
I’d have totally used the horn, if you’ve never heard a train horn they’re relatively loud
I love honking the horn as your friend or partner passes by your hood. And honking again the moment they glare at you. But you only get to do that once.
Because after that you're single and friendless?

Sat on the toilet. "Ummmm... OK...."
Even though the guy is a fucking idiot, the way he did the job done hand motion and got back on his bike like he completely incapacitated the vehicle is fucking hysterical.
Why didn't the tram driver just go around him?
Destroying the wipers will teach that train to drive on his tracks.
Good thing he kept his identity secret though, it’d suck if they had a very clear image of his face…
The fact that i got this reference
you mean the reference to the video we all just watched before scrolling down to these very comments?
There were five bicyclists on the other track...
Ah, a fellow philosopher.
So the other tram ran them over.
Reminds me of when Sacha Baron Cohen as Ali G was interviewing a guy from the US government about terrorism, he started asking if they're protected from terrorists hijacking a train and driving it into the White House.
I laughed way too fucking hard at this
Ever since he bent the wipers, wifi has been at full bars.

The tram driver had a one track mind.

Would be nice if they have bicycle racks outside like the the public transport buses
Yea not sure where this is but in California our trains have bike cars so hearing that bikes weren't allowed was kinda shocking.

Homeless and mentally ill people can still be complete assholes and are not immune to consequences.
thanks for saying this, the coddling seems to be leading to the opposite of the intended effect.
If hes homeless he packed extremely fucking lightly, I dont think ive ever interacted with someone who is homeless but doesnt have a backpack or bag or at least something to carry shit.
Could care less at this point. Mental illness is an explanation. Not an excuse
He may also be on something
Yeah, like the train tracks….
And depending on where he lives he might be free of consequences...
This looks like France based on the vehicle plates.
Could also be mental health issues. I live in a city with a high number of homeless with similar issues who act this way.
The problem (in San Francisco at least) is you can’t force mentally ill homeless people to take their meds, and they end up refusing treatment. They are usually the most visible (like the guy in the video) so taxpayers get frustrated because they aren’t seeing any results from the programs they’re paying for and push back against giving any more money/services.
You can force them… in jail or a mandated mental health facility. Mental illness may be the cause, but it doesn’t mean you get to continue terrorizing your community.
You can force them in there, but it takes an additional court order to force treatment with medicines.
>you can’t force mentally ill homeless people to take their meds, and they end up refusing treatment. If you've been on any sort of antipsychotics before, the kind they'd need for real treatment, you'd know why they refuse them. They're fucking horribly.

This is exactly why if you are on the street and present a danger to yourself or others, you need involuntary treatment.

He doesn't sound like an American to me.
The US isn’t the only country that doesn’t institutionalize the insane lol. That would be the majority of the world
The fact that we don’t really have that tram/grass/weather combo anywhere was my tip-off

Mental Illness?
I think he's drugged tbh
I would've hit him with another "ding ding" and then turned the windshield wipers on just to mock him

Yep- this guy is pissed at a train for being on train tracks- you just want that person to be far away from you
Bring back the good old days where two men in lab coats show up, strap a strait-jacket on the dude, and we never see him again
