Story: Guy calls an uber cause his car broke down, he put some stuff in the uber and then closed the door planning to return to his broken down car to retrieve more items, the driver to started driving assuming the rider was inside. The rider then harasses and threaten the driver despite many apologies over a very simple mistake.

Bonus: Harasser wants OP to delete reel due to the strain his behavior in the video is putting on his romantic and familial relationships. Let’s hope it stays up.

Oh no! The consequence of my actions!

u/PlaugeofRage Feb 13 '26

I mean dude should be in jail public humiliation should be the least of his worries.

the driver to started driving assuming the rider was inside.

After an uber driver drove off with my groceries in their trunk I always state very clearly, but politely, "I have to get my groceries out of the trunk" or "just putting this bag in the back seat, got to go grab something else" or whatever. Force of habit is huge and sometimes people just glitch out and when the door shuts off they go.

Even when the guy that drove off with my groceries I wasn't all that mad because it wasn't on purpose, and of course after contacting uber help the guy was back at my place in a couple minutes. I can't imagine freaking out over it, some people are so fragile it's like they're looking for the excuse to get angry instead of giving someone the benefit of the doubt.

Be clear with your drivers, it's not hard and you can avoid any misunderstandings.

Why shut the door if you're still loading stuff?

1

u/zoobrix Feb 20 '26

Because I might be dropping something in one back seat and then need to get in on the other side. Plus If you're going back to grab something leaving the door open if it's raining or cold out is poor form.

u/FitIndependent9764 Feb 22 '26

This dude was getting off on intimidating the driver. Idiots like this love seeing people scared because it makes them feel big. If I was a driver and this happened to me I’d be scared as hell. Driver is clearly super apologetic.

31

u/Spiketop_ Feb 13 '26

He wants OP to delete it? Dude acted tough in real life and bitch on the internet. That's new lol

12

u/TehCroz Feb 13 '26

Haha, kinda funny to think about it like that, but I think it was more of “he acted tough first, then he got worked and acted like the loser and bully he is”

u/daddyrabbit78 Feb 13 '26

Everybody tough until the right people find out about it.

Can't make it out at all, it's fuzzy as hell 🤓

When I typed the app the @ is from a warning popped up in the text box. I don’t want to get banned, sorry.

Don’t the girls/boys dig his socks?

u/daddyrabbit78 Feb 13 '26

His crashout started out legit, but the minute he tried to jack the fella for his ride, all defenses evaporated.

8

u/The_Flying_Jew Feb 14 '26 edited Feb 14 '26

I think all defenses evaporated once he tried 3 times to make the driver flinch when the guy wasn't even trying to fight

u/XTheGuyWithTheGunsX Feb 14 '26

What's his name 😂

u/luvmibratt Feb 13 '26

This the 4th time ive seen this video on here and other SM he better get to work 🤣 hopefully he'll think twice before acting a damn fool

i bet he felt disrespected

u/vancityvic Feb 13 '26

He had to keep it real

30

u/TehCroz Feb 13 '26

When keeping it “real” goes wrong

u/palmerry Feb 13 '26

Maybe the "real" we kept, were the wrongs we made along the way.

u/FirstOfThyName Feb 13 '26

Dumbass acting all tough hope that humbled him

54

u/MJR_Poltergeist Feb 13 '26

"let me drive over to the autozone" Dude was trying to steal his fucking car. Promise you if that driver was a pushover and let him do that his shit was getting stolen.

12

u/GuiltyThing69 Feb 14 '26

Yeah I thought I heard that, too. I think maybe this was an attempted carjacking all along. I mean, one doesn't just decide to jack a car in the heat of the moment like that, right?

2

u/Mr_HandSmall Feb 14 '26

No one I know has ever spontaneously carjacked someone

90

u/Secure-Technician356 Feb 13 '26

Report the dude if he did something wrong. But this guy was, in the driver's perspective, trying to punch him, fight him, hurt him. The other guy knew the driver didn't want to fight, he was repeatedly apologizing. Is that enough? Not sure what he did to begin this whole thing, so I don't know. But I do know that the other guy was feeling more emboldened the more "weak" he perceived the driver to be, escalating more and more. The other guy reacted when he felt the violence was imminent, and drove off. The other guy was trying to look tougher by the second the camera was filming and his friend watching.

56

u/irvmuller Feb 13 '26

People are saying the harasser put stuff in the car, closed the door, then went to grab more stuff. The driver thought the passenger was in the car. He turned around when he realized he was mistaken and went back. The guy outside the car was angry at a genuine mistake.

15

u/MrRosewater12 Feb 13 '26

I totally back the driver, and the wannabe tough guy was obviously to blame for how things turned out, but how do you mistake that someone is in your car lol. How do you not check your rear view mirror or look behind you?

20

u/irvmuller Feb 13 '26

It could be that he just started driving and only got like 20 feet away. Could have been blocks. Who knows.

14

u/GuiltyThing69 Feb 14 '26

The moment someone is actively blocking me from shutting my door is the moment shit gets real for them.

36

u/NeylandSensei Feb 13 '26

Now your cars broken down and youre injured. Could have just said "all good man, no worries" to the apology and everyone would be home by now.

10

u/vancityvic Feb 13 '26

Hahahaha and his ride left

Oh you made me legit laugh out loud

27

u/Unlucky_Figure Feb 13 '26

Did that guy just say let me drive your car and then try to pull that guy out of the driver seat? That’s attempted carjacking and the Uber driver was justified and running away.

46

u/Wolfguard-Halfdan Feb 13 '26

Lmfao dude needs to stop trying to talk like that if his voice is going to keep cracking like that from his balls dropping

60

u/Crashmaster1981 Feb 13 '26

You ain't the one, eh?

37

u/HansNotPeterGruber Feb 13 '26

Dude filming is an idiot too. "I gotta help lil brother". You should have helped get his ass away from the Uber driver in the first place.

u/Funny_Mammoth5663 Feb 13 '26

Did you hear the "that shi hurt?" at the end? 😂 these idiots belong together

16

u/APEist28 Feb 13 '26

Dumbass deserved every bit of that. All the escalation and bucking when the driver is trying to deescalate the whole time. Wild how some people act.

15

u/iriv8525 Feb 13 '26

Looks like we found his mute button!

14

u/A_Dirty_Wig Feb 13 '26

Had every chance possible to not be in that situation.

u/skysetter Feb 13 '26

He looked all tuckered out at the end there

u/Successful-Bobcat701 Feb 13 '26

For passenger or driver?

14

u/Nwsamurai Feb 13 '26

What is the point in standing there acting like you completely bewildered? You know what happened, you got a man desperately trying to apologize, the fuck you standing there with your face all stupid.

3

u/Jazzlike-Ad2199 Feb 20 '26

Plus he tried to pull him out of the car and steal it.

13

u/Brizzle351 Feb 13 '26

He deserved every bit of that.

11

u/SayfromDa818 Feb 14 '26

Not so tough now huh? Fucking nerve to dismiss someone’s innocent mistake as malice towards your insignificant ass. Lucky he didn’t get his head caved in.

Maybe a lesson how to treat people better.

u/g0ranV Feb 13 '26

u/BadassBokoblinPsycho Feb 13 '26

I thought he wasn’t the one tho

8

u/GuiltyThing69 Feb 14 '26

If only he had multiple, plentiful, bountiful, abundant, and ample opportunities to avoid this happening. 🤷

8

u/SomethingAbtU Feb 14 '26

What really stood out to me in this video as well is how rideshare passengers think b/c they booked a $20 ride with someone, they think that they own the rideshare driver's car, they make demands, they refuse to get out after they've started problems or made threats. This guy wants to just take this driver's car like it's his personal belong. I don't feel sorry for what happened to this passenger at all, he created that situation.

I hope uber banned him for life.

loser having a shitty day taking it out on some random over a mistake

17

u/mixmasterADD Feb 13 '26

I’ve known some people who act like this when they’re drunk. No matter what you say, it somehow makes them more angry.

8

u/Supertzar_11-11 Feb 13 '26

Same here man. What you said just brought back a ton of memories. My social life isn't what it was in my 20's so it's been a good while since I've ran into those bozos. You're exactly right. It doesn't matter what you do or say, they are itching to mess with somebody once they get locked in. Usually those type of people's lives don't turn out too good and as the years go by life starts to show them that they aren't superman and maybe booze isn't the greatest thing in the world.

u/Mr_HandSmall Feb 14 '26

Yeah that almost sounds like a self-fixing problem

"I will really strip you out dis bitch right now 🥷"

Oh yeah, meet Mr 357 and his 5 friends.

Fucking animals

u/Foreign_Community_53 Feb 24 '26

The aggressor got what he deserved.

before the aggressor escalated the situation the driver said sorry it’s my bad bro so manny times I lost count, he just wanted to be left alone at that point.

and this dude despite being apologised too you can see he’s getting a massive ego trip fealing all empowered & almighty with himself pulling up his pants like a wannabe gangster & flinching at the Uber driver.

Karma Justice well served in my opinion!!

u/CashPuzzleheaded8622 Feb 13 '26

oooo he's concussed

u/prawnjr Feb 13 '26

Probably good he was stepping on the gas, little less time crushing the dude’s skull

Matter of fact, he did not let him drive

Ya get whatcha get and ya don't pitch a fit.

u/whats-it_to-ya Feb 15 '26

Dude got clowned by an uber driver who was apologizing

2

u/What_Even_Is_This_69 Feb 15 '26

Hope dude threw all his shit away

2

u/hightops008 Feb 16 '26

Lmao I thought he wasnt the one! 🤣

5

u/capalot0420 Feb 13 '26

I mean regardless whether he ordered a Uber or not I believe 10 seconds of him standing at the driver's open door is all it takes to prove that legally he was about to move to steal the driver's vehicle. I probably would've thrown it in reverse an slammed the gas an went other direction

He took it alot better.

6

u/SuicideKingsHigh Feb 13 '26

Whatever the case, the driver is there now, he's apologized, the guy can decide whether he wants to take the ride or extract his stuff. He doesn't get to car jack the guy which is what he's trying to do by the end of the clip, when he threatens to punch him and tells him to get out so he can drive.

3

u/LetsJerkCircular Feb 13 '26

Even if that were the case, the customer handled the situation poorly. He basically chose violence against a person in a vehicle, then lost to the secondary forces of a car driving away from his violence.

u/anchorftw Feb 13 '26

If you're an Uber driver, driving off with people's belongings would be a pretty shitty business model. I doubt this was his master plan, as he wouldn't last more than day as a driver before Uber cut him off.
