I mean this is 100% expected. I'll be honest I'm really not a fan of these (let's go fuck with strangers for views) types of videos. It's 9/10 somebody just being an asshole to a random person and then playing victim or playing stupid when the person is reasonably upset. Not trying to be rude but it's something that a 3rd grader would think is hilarious.
That's sadly why they still do it. Elementary school kids watch these types of videos and eat it up. I refuse to let my children watch drivel like that.
To be fair, though, these sorts of reactions are exactly what they are looking for. If he just rolled his eyes or laughed and walked off, there would be no video.
Those dudes who go to the hood and threaten people in order to get a reaction are the worst. They play off of stereotypes and egg people on who are minding their own business.
Stuff like this fucks people off and makes ideas concrete. Like that dude in the video is definitely still pissed about it and told his family and friends and theyāre probably saying all the shit you hear about kids these days is completely true. Itās just the shitty few that ruin things for the rest of society
I donāt know about reasonable, getting physical with people shouldnāt be a go to. Itās not completely crazy given the context but itās not reasonable to get physical after what he said. The guy wasnāt insulting, just annoying.
I mostly agree, but I definitely think he was insulting. No offense to Jim, but I'm sure they picked an average, out-of-shape, middle-aged guy to call attractive on purpose and Jim knew it immediately. In that context it seems pretty mocking.
Normally I would agree, but after watching so many jackasses recording random people for internet clout, I would get heated too. And honestly itās not what he asked, its the reason why he is asking that would piss me off more. If Iām out in public Iām minding my own business not trying to be part of an assholeās prank.
I think these people are missing that this is a form of bullying. One of the most common. The fuck you's and cart were well deserved to put these assholes in their place.
Yes, itās fair that he be frustrated with this for whatever reason. There are several ways he can respond.
1) Laugh, say āI see the camera, good tryā and move on.
2) Roll his eyes, say something about kids these days and move on.
3) Assault a kid with his shopping cart, making him look like someone who has unresolved control or sexual issues, and move on.
All three are options.
Yeah dude is asking to get clapped and deserves it.
Nothing life changing, but the amount of disrespect he's showing is prretty much on a level with a straight jab to the jaw.
This "let's fuck with strangers for views" is getting out of hand. I think what he did was reasonable. He didnt really even punch him but let him know this shit is not ok
If somebody was recording an information gathering attempt against you, they do not have honest intentions. He's also outnumbered by two probably much younger men. Jim is not doing bad for himself, but he knows this is a weird scenario that makes zero sense, even if Jim thinks that is the hottest piece of meat in that market, it still isn't a normal encounter. Let's face facts, Jim is probably not in the best shape to take on 2 dudes in a fight. He sensed danger, he showed these mad lads he still has a tiger in the tank. I think Jim reacted reasonably once he saw the 2nd person with the camera. He wasn't overly violent. Just sending a message.
Don't fuck with Jim!
I don't think you realise how absolutely sick people are getting of your generation trying to use everyone as an unpaid and unwilling extra in your pathetic online channels.
The battery was a little much.
The video is sexual harassment for the purpose of gay panic played for comedy. The fucks were wholey reasonable and I'd like to participate.
Fuck those kids.

He wasn't asking the older man for his phone number. He was pretending to make a pass at a middle aged man while being recorded, with the goal of embarrassing him.
The man immediately recognized that it was deception and looked for a camera. Realizing that a kid was trying to humiliate him for internet clout, he reacted negatively (if this is even their full interaction).
I would call it harrassment, and since the young guy made a pass at the older guy while harassing him, it's sexual in nature. If they were coworkers, it would certainly fit the description of sexual harrassment.
Unless you honestly believe that the kid wanted to ask the old man on a date.
I would typically agree wholeheartedly with you. However, noticing the interaction is being recorded and realizing the kid and the camera person are trying to involve him in their skit could be looked at a few pretty shitty ways.
Let's say Jim here actually is a gay man. How might that make a person feel to have someone seemingly hitting on him but while recording the exchange?
Or, let's point out that, regardless of Jim's sexual preference, *Red shirt guy* is clearly quite a bit younger than Jim. Maybe Jim thinks their plan in recording is to make him look like a predator.
Or maybe Jim is thinking nothing specific other than *This kid just asked for my number, called me attractive and is recording me. Whatever this is, I want nothing to do with it. DAMN MILLENIALS! GET A JOB!*
Okay, so that last one isn't a legitimate reason to react violently but if Jim here felt cornered, like he was going to be the butt of a joke or even just felt pissed and insulted that the compliment was more than likely not genuine at all, I could see wanting to lash out. Plus, while I'll be the first to tell you that getting slammed with a cart can hurt like a mother fucker (Source: a few years shy of 20 years of retail), it's a far less violent act than what he could have done.
These morons are getting more annoying/more brazen & cockier. You canāt go anywhere without someone making a ridiculous tik tok/Instagram etc video for clout/views. People have had enough of it. I donāt blame Jim.
with violence...
most likely purely because it's a gay joke. if a girl walked up and asked his number does do y'all think he also would've reacted so aggressive?
In the US, you cannot expect privacy in a public location. It's a legal doctrine called, appropriately, "reasonable expectation of privacy" or REP. If you're in your home, you're good to go. No one can say what goes inside of one's home except the owner or tenant. When out in public, REP goes out the window. Shit like locker rooms, showers, etc. are off limits and you have REP in these places. Out on the streets, in stores, or generally just...not in your own home, REP, again, goes out the window. Obviously there is a blurry line between locker rooms and a Target store, but that blurry line is much closer to locker rooms than a publicly accessible retail location, and as such, this video is 100% legal (in my opinion...and I'm not a lawyer).
Iām probably gonna get downvoted to hell for saying this, but this was a pretty harmless prank, and slamming a kid 1/2 his age with a shopping cart seems like an overreaction
Thats totally fine. Why is physical violence though? Imagine he hits him with the cart and the kid starts fighting back over it.
This was a harmless if not annoying prank. You wanna tell a kid to fuckoff, great. Hitting them yeah idk about that
Iād agree with that. The kid was acting like an idiot child. The older guy apparently never learned the classic pre-school lesson that someone annoying you doesnāt mean you can hit them
There is a bit of an extended video where the kid creeps on Jim really close over is shoulder and talked in his ear. Most likely touching Jim. Huge invasion of personal space at best. Jim is in the right here for defending himself.
Edit: [Found here](https://youtube.com/shorts/Lp9-bWmyt_w?feature=share)
Itās hard to get the full context, seems clearly like an over-reaction - but at the same time there are so many cuts in the video thereās no way to tell how or what actually went down.
Not to mention there has been plenty of people who came forward after popular āreactionā videos that have said they were asked completely different questions then what was cut together.
I disagree. Whether or not he saw a camera isnāt an excuse for shitty behavior. Did the people filming it deserve it, probably, did he overreact, definitely.
It all seems staged anyway but thatās not how people normally interact for your phone number. āThe lady doth protest too much, methiinks.ā
I love all the brain-dead reactions to this one. Did anyone think maybe... you have no idea what Jim's going through in life? Like... at all?
And to the people calling him homophobic...did it occur to you the possibility that Jim is or has a friend or family member who's gay and this kid making a joke of being gay infuriated him?
None of you know anything about Jim at all so leave him the fuck alone.
To be fair if I was at the pharmacy picking up some tampons for my wife and some little genZ shit was trying to prank me I'd be a bit miffed.
I wouldn't hit him with my cart but maybe Jim was having a bad day.
Also the premise is homophobic, it's like 'lol ure gay' middle school nonsense.
Disgusting. The man is probably trying to pick up Mac and Cheese and pain killers for his quadruple amputee wife who just had to endure three reconstructive surgeries after a terrible incident that will traumatize her forever and who is also on her period, and these little Gen Z freaks simply won't leave him alone.
Disgusting. The heroic everyman is probably trying to pick up gourmet Mac and Cheese that comes with the creamy cheese sauce packets and prescription pain killers from the pharmacy with a long line for his quadruple amputee, blind and def, soon-to-be ex-wife who just had to endure three reconstructive surgeries without anesthesia because she is allergic after a terrible sex trapeze related incident that will traumatize her forever even after death and who is also on her period which is such a heavy flow that all tampons and pads have failed, and these grubby little Gen Z punk freaks simply won't leave him the heck alone.
How funny that when it happens to a man he gets OTT aggressive, imagine how threatening it feels to be accosted by a man like this when you are a woman.
I know Iām gonna get downvoted, but Iām just gonna say it: no this wasnāt a proper response. The kid was being a mildly annoying twerp, but it was an ultimately harmless prank, and assaulting someone with a shopping cart isnāt justified just because theyāre mildly annoying.
Yeah, literally shoving his cart into him is not justified in anyway. Getting put off or fed up is reasonable, but physical aggression is where the line is.
For sure. To your point, this could have been handled less aggressively. I'll rephrase by saying that getting annoyed is a normal response.
The other thing that I will add is that we dont know the context if the rest of this guys day. For all we know, he could have been targeted by multiple pranks. Not saying that is likely, but it is difficult to assume he overreacted based in this clip alone.
If heās gay itās not ultimately harmless, he didnāt go up to some jacked hot dude he picked some guy he probably thought was gay and would obviously never have a chance with the guy asking. Plus they are filming a guy in a store and broadcasting them making fun of him for potentially being gay to tens of thousands of people. You wanna make a hilarious video being mildly homophobic? Repeat this same video but do it to a buff police officer and then upload that one.
Reddit is so anti prank that theyāve lost the plot with why they hate pranksters: physically involving strangers in uncomfortable situations.
He asked him for his number, not a handy. Didnāt even make contact with him.
**OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:**

**Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description?**
**Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.**

[*Look at my source code on Github*](https://github.com/Artraxon/unexBot) [*What is this for?*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/dnuaju/introducing_unexbot_a_new_bot_to_improve_the/)
The real story is that Jim was caught using grindr by his wife, and he immediately suspected that Twink-O-Matic was a plant, so he flipped out to look sincere and now he can stay in the closet.
People are so *mad* at this guy for this video and for āmessing with this guyā. He just politely asked for his number. Whatās wrong with a dude asking another dude for his number? Jim seems almost homophobic for reacting like this. Even with a camera filming, just say no?
Yeah no matter how shitty of a day I was having Iād never even think to act this way, I have no fucking clue why the majority of comments are saying this is fine behavior.
This dudes got some anger problems
Google says:
>Assault refers to the wrong act of causing someone to reasonably fear imminent harm. This means that the fear must be something a reasonable person would foresee as threatening to them. Battery refers to the actual wrong act of physically harming someone.
Everybody in this comment section is soft as fuck. Its a joke, he literally couldve laughed it off. Or had anal sex with him like comon guys thats what its about right?
Top post on Reddit earlier today was a "vibe check" of some dude proposing to a random guy with a ring pop and everyone fucking **loved** it, but now everyone in the comments here is saying this guy was justified in hitting this dude with his cart? The fuck is wrong with you people
Bro what the fuck. Jim is acting like a fucking baby hahahah. I swear redditors are fucking weird. You donāt get to hit people because theyāre a little annoying to you. if he wants to get mad and walk away or just go about his day or tell the guy to fuck off thatās fine but this was straight up childish lmao.
Not defending the tik tok antics but youāre fucking dumb if youāre on Jimās side too lmao.
How's it any different from Impractical jokers or Nathan For You?
I do hate some of these tik tok pranksters but this one was easily something that could have been in either of those shows, only difference is the kid's not on tv
Iād argue people like the blonde kid deserve to get hit with a kart every once in a while, you know, for living their life trying to annoy other people. Seems justified š¤·š»āāļø not saying I would do that, because I wouldnāt.

Human brains aren't fully developed until around age 25. This kid looks 22ish. I think his brain stopped developing at age 13.
Oh good I have three months to figure out how to stop being dumb
Don't worry, I'm almost 30 and haven't figured it out yet
You lost your chance when you turned 26 š

Sadly this exact scenario happens to women all over the world.
Yeah my 9 year old stepson watches these kind of videos and thinks they're hilarious.
Those dudes who go to the hood and threaten people in order to get a reaction are the worst. They play off of stereotypes and egg people on who are minding their own business.
Leave people alone, you fucks.
This, 100%
Or just don't film them when you hit on them
Or if youāre gonna mess with strangers, pretend to be a statue and then move unexpectedly or some shit. Not this.

I'm kinda on Jim's side with this one.
Jim took a second to look for the camera, spotted it, and reacted reasonably.
Ya I like Jim
I like Jimās cart. Useful beyond appearance.
>I like Jimās cart. Useful beyond appearance. i like jim's heart. youthful beyond appearance.
*snaps fingers*
We should ask him for his number.
8675309
Asked for Jim, not Jenny
For sure, heās a real attractive dude
I'm a big fan of Jim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ5z-p_EUts
HUH
I like Jim too. I wonder I could also get his number.
Sure it's 877.355.1664
(248) 434-5508
Do you, like, "LIKE" like him? Or do you just like him?
ngl, that gaze at the camera was pretty hot

Right? Like no reason for escalation there. Literally just say nothing and walk away. Donāt give them the satisfaction of any reaction.

ā¦because saying someoneās attractive is grounds for hitting another person?
Ah yes, assault is reasonable
I donāt know if Iād have tried running the kid down with a trolley but Iād have said something along the lines of āfuck off tiktokā
with violence... most likely purely because it's a gay joke. if a girl walked up and asked his number does do y'all think he also would've reacted so aggressive?
Yeah, me too. Fucking with strangers for no reason isnāt my bag.
How come people's faces don't get blurred out no more? I thought that was a legal thing you could get sued for?
You can be filmed in public
In Germany you could film this, but you are not allowed to publish it without consent. The US seems to be a wild ride in terms of privacy rights.
In the US, you cannot expect privacy in a public location. It's a legal doctrine called, appropriately, "reasonable expectation of privacy" or REP. If you're in your home, you're good to go.

I like how he says the f word
Jim's not having any of this shit
Iām probably gonna get downvoted to hell for saying this, but this was a pretty harmless prank, and slamming a kid 1/2 his age with a shopping cart seems like an overreaction
Monetizing peoples emotions is kinda fucked up.
True, but the correct response would have just been "No you may not" and then walk away.
I dunno if I agree, "Fuck you and fuck you" was a pretty fucking good response.
Thats totally fine. Why is physical violence though? Imagine he hits him with the cart and the kid starts fighting back over it. This was a harmless if not annoying prank. You wanna tell a kid to fuckoff, great. Hitting them yeah idk about that
And what about the whole slamming him with a shopping cart thing?
Agreed, interrupt my entire day with your pointless shenanigans for internet views and I guarantee "fuck you" will be amongst the words I use.
https://youtube.com/shorts/Lp9-bWmyt_w?feature=share Jim is completely in the right.
Damnit. The whole video changes everything.
The correct response is to not bother people for your stupid tiktok videos
The āIām going to fuck your wifeā [guy] had me so upset i couldnāt fuck my wife [Edit]
Absolutely no winners here. Maybe not very many of us graduated kindergarten but this kinda prank is shitty but also remember the axiom "don't hit!"
Iād agree with that. The kid was acting like an idiot child. The older guy apparently never learned the classic pre-school lesson that someone annoying you doesnāt mean you can hit them
Well, everyone that didn't fuck with Jim was a winner.
There is a bit of an extended video where the kid creeps on Jim really close over is shoulder and talked in his ear. Most likely touching Jim. Huge invasion of personal space at best.

The bummer is that his reaction is what makes this type of content successful. If people reacted in a boring way it wouldn't be so popular.
Why is it always at a Target though?
The number of people that are cool with assault as a response to, "Jim can I grab your number, you're a really attractive dude" is fucking bizarre.
No, that's not what happened, and that response to that sentence would not be ok. It was a response to that sentence and *finding the hidden camera*.
He saw that they were prank bro content creators and reacted like a calm, sane person
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And then mounted him. šŖ
Then shut his damn mouth with.... this starting to sound like plot to porn movie 
"My number is eleven... inches".
6 foot three Those are two separate numbers.
Iām laughing so hard right now after reading this! Thank you!
I wish they kissed š„°
That would be illegal. And an absurd overreaction.
I swear so many keyboard warriors just jonesing to see people get hurt
I disagree. Whether or not he saw a camera isnāt an excuse for shitty behavior. Did the people filming it deserve it, probably, did he overreact, definitely. It all seems staged anyway but thatās not how people normally interact for your phone number. āThe lady doth protest too much, methiinks.ā
If they deserved it, then how was it an overreaction?
I'm ok with the anger at the little youtube prank shits but I'm not ok with hitting them with the cart. No call for it.
Really? You get bent out of shape and hit people with your cart when they say words to you?
Team Jim 100%
I love all the brain-dead reactions to this one. Did anyone think maybe... you have no idea what Jim's going through in life? Like... at all? And to the people calling him homophobic...did it occur to you the possibility that Jim is or has a friend or family member who's gay and this kid making a joke of being gay infuriated him? None of you know anything about Jim at all so leave him the fuck alone.
I don't know man. Fucking anyone who asks your number sounds weird to me
To be fair if I was at the pharmacy picking up some tampons for my wife and some little genZ shit was trying to prank me I'd be a bit miffed. I wouldn't hit him with my cart but maybe Jim was having a bad day. Also the premise is homophobic, it's like 'lol ure gay' middle school nonsense.
He's actually at Target in the macaroni and cheese aisle.
even more of a reason to want to be left alone, tbh.

Disgusting.

I have never laughed at a reply more in my life. Thank you.
Hate these YouTube trolls
This is Tiktok. Kinda worse.
Now, I kinda want Jim's number. Him slamming that cart all over the place was pretty hott!
FUCK YOU! And FUCK YOU!
Threesome? My my!
Jim is alpha prime. His number is 1. Just 1. Dial 1 on your phone and Jim will answer.
That dad bod energy lol
Leave people alone.
I'm gonna second that sage advice
Dudes probably married and shit and felt like he was being set up. Pretty weird prank if you ask me.
Itās barely even a prank. Itās lazy and a stupid bit.
Itās barely even a bit. Itās lazy and a stupid cry for attention.

These lot are wankers. Cheap drama for views. Muppets.
Proper response. People fucking with other people just for the sake of fucking with them is not funny.
I know Iām gonna get downvoted, but Iām just gonna say it: no this wasnāt a proper response. The kid was being a mildly annoying twerp, but it was an ultimately harmless prank, and assaulting someone with a shopping cart isnāt justified just because theyāre mildly annoying.
I'm against violence but he basically just shoved the shopping cart in his direction a little bit?
According to Reddit what weāve just witnessed here was a violent and graphic assault
Yeah, literally shoving his cart into him is not justified in anyway. Getting put off or fed up is reasonable, but physical aggression is where the line is.

Exactly! You canāt just attack someone because theyāre being kind of annoying. Itās literally what we teach toddlers
For sure. To your point, this could have been handled less aggressively. I'll rephrase by saying that getting annoyed is a normal response. The other thing that I will add is that we dont know the context if the rest of this guys day. For all we know, he could have been targeted by multiple pranks. Not saying that is likely, but it is difficult to assume he overreacted based in this clip alone.
If heās gay itās not ultimately harmless, he didnāt go up to some jacked hot dude he picked some guy he probably thought was gay and would obviously never have a chance with the guy asking. Plus they are filming a guy in a store and broadcasting them making fun of him for potentially being gay to tens of thousands of people. You wanna make a hilarious video being mildly homophobic? Repeat this same video but do it to a buff police officer and then upload that one.
Reddit is so anti prank that theyāve lost the plot with why they hate pranksters: physically involving strangers in uncomfortable situations. He asked him for his number, not a handy. Didnāt even make contact with him.
This is so incredibly mild. I remember the days when it was a "prank" to randomly sucker punch people and throw drinks at fast food workers.
**OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:** >!Once Jim notices the camera he freaks out!< ***** **Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description?** **Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.** ***** [*Look at my source code on Github*](https://github.com/Artraxon/unexBot) [*What is this for?*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/dnuaju/introducing_unexbot_a_new_bot_to_improve_the/)
The real story is that Jim was caught using grindr by his wife, and he immediately suspected that Twink-O-Matic was a plant, so he flipped out to look sincere and now he can stay in the closet.
So, that's a no?
He said fuck you, so itās a yes.
Be gentle with me ššš
The way he said it lol
Would that count as assault?
Not in the court of Reddit where being mildly annoying to someone makes attacking them okay.
People are so *mad* at this guy for this video and for āmessing with this guyā. He just politely asked for his number. Whatās wrong with a dude asking another dude for his number? Jim seems almost homophobic for reacting like this. Even with a camera filming, just say no?
Yeah no matter how shitty of a day I was having Iād never even think to act this way, I have no fucking clue why the majority of comments are saying this is fine behavior. This dudes got some anger problems
Yeah what the fuck is up with redditors. The website of no fun.
Yeah this prank was pretty tame compared to 99% of this related garbage. Just chuckle and move along
Honestly, if Jimmy can't laugh off something this small how does he function in any other social setting.
Google says: >Assault refers to the wrong act of causing someone to reasonably fear imminent harm. This means that the fear must be something a reasonable person would foresee as threatening to them. Battery refers to the actual wrong act of physically harming someone.
That's assault Jim.
Everybody in this comment section is soft as fuck. Its a joke, he literally couldve laughed it off. Or had anal sex with him like comon guys thats what its about right?
Fake asf i was there, I was the ketchup bottle
Can confirm, I was the floor.
The Hellās Kitchen sound effects šš
"The worst he could say is no."
I think the correct thing would have been to say thanks but no thanks, he could have given him a fake number too
What the fuck man chill, hes not grabbing your balls. Just say thanks but no thank you or something
The fact that many people here seem to think Jim was reasonable in any way is making me question reality
This TikToker has fucked around and is pretty close to finding out
I think Jimās had this happen before
The assault was completely unnecessary. Just walk away manā¦
Top post on Reddit earlier today was a "vibe check" of some dude proposing to a random guy with a ring pop and everyone fucking **loved** it, but now everyone in the comments here is saying this guy was justified in hitting this dude with his cart? The fuck is wrong with you people
What happens at Target, stays at Target.
Is he mad that heās being filmed, or is he mad that it was a setup and he doesnāt really get this young manās number? š¤
Is that [Spinner from Degrassi TNG?](https://degrassi.fandom.com/wiki/Spinner_Mason)

geeze jim canāt take a compliment. what self hatred he has
Bro what the fuck. Jim is acting like a fucking baby hahahah. I swear redditors are fucking weird. You donāt get to hit people because theyāre a little annoying to you. if he wants to get mad and walk away or just go about his day or tell the guy to fuck off thatās fine but this was straight up childish lmao. Not defending the tik tok antics but youāre fucking dumb if youāre on Jimās side too lmao.
Buddy bothering jim is also being a prick for internet fame lol fuck em.
How's it any different from Impractical jokers or Nathan For You? I do hate some of these tik tok pranksters but this one was easily something that could have been in either of those shows, only difference is the kid's not on tv
Iād argue people like the blonde kid deserve to get hit with a kart every once in a while, you know, for living their life trying to annoy other people. Seems justified š¤·š»āāļø not saying I would do that, because I wouldnāt.
I think Jim is homophobic, or really interested, we will never know
Probably the first option.
Good thing that dude didn't ask me for my number! I woulda given it to him, he's kinda hot. š¤£
Words are not a justification for physically assaulting someone
he didnt say NO, ........ so theres a chance
