I’ve seen a lot of strange things in my travels over the years, but never a man–intoxicated or otherwise–using a stranger as a chair, which apparently recently occurred at San Francisco International Airport. But who was in on the joke?
Video: “Genius” Traveler Decides To Use Random Stranger As A Chair At SFO
Video showcases a man seemingly approaching a stranger resting on the ground in the corner of an unoccupied gate at SFO Airport, then plopping down on top of him. The victim is startled and kicks off the man, then proceeds to curse him out.
Here’s the video (and mute it if you have sensitive ears since the guy understandably reacts by cursing…):
The fact that the person filming it started when he did makes me think this was all a gag…but the key question is whether the “victim” was part of the gag. If so, then hahaha, but we’re wasting our time discussing it. But if the victim truly was a victim…that it was just some random guy resting, then I’d be outraged too…what kind of practical joke is that? That sounds like battery (the intentional touching of another person in a harmful or offensive way without their consent). And if it was battery, I hope the victim will sue…there’s a fine line between good fun and reckless conduct. The tubby prankster could have caused some serious harm plopping down on a stranger…
And the ankle bracelet?
And the diarrhea stain on the trousers?
Yeah, something doesn’t add up. But few things would surprise me any longer.
Hey folks, I realize this whole thing may be a gag, but it got me giggling and frankly with all that is going in the world around us, a few laughs are not a bad thing. Don’t worry, I’ve got three serious posts to follow this one today, but I could not help it…I hope you laughed too.
The decline of civility into repulsiveness .
The decline of humour into unfunny idiocy .
I was at JFK a couple of weeks ago and a younger couple in their 20s was doing a “stare check” or whatever and claimed I was staring at the skimpily clad young lady even though I was running to the gate (the LH agent forgot to pick me up from the lounge, but that’s a different story). I got accosted by them for “staring at her” so I told them I would gladly sue and compensate them for “staring” after a ruling in court. They immediately went with “it was just a prank, chill” and tried to say they were tik-tokers trying to make content.
Point is, better scripted than doing this to complete strangers.
Occasionally , a beautiful animal or bird in nature is worthy of an appreciative look , and more rarely the seldom seen warm and beautiful female of the human species .
I hope they get stuck in Atlanta traffic.
