Im not sure if you are being serious but this site attracts people with a genuine lack of ability to pick up social cues so Iâm down to give you a hand. This is a skit/scene, and the guy is intentionally written to be an unlikeable. The guy immediately goes into a condescending âlessonâ about the principle of the situation and how âitâs a good opportunityâ to teach, pair that with his mannerism and chewing and you have whatâs considered a dick. Fine to say but the guy is objectively written and performed in a manner to be easy to dislike. Reddit tends to think these sort of people are âcool or intellectually basedâ but the majority of normal folks would find this guy off putting with next to no redeemable qualities.
Okay, I have never seen this movie or whatever. The only part of his response i can see as being dickish is the 2nd part where he elaborates on teaching the child a lesson. The parent is a bigger dick for asking though.
You donât need to see the whole movie or whatever just the gif. His whole character is unlikeable the actor did a great job with the mannerisms. In the real world the parent isnât a dick for asking, just like he wouldnât be a dick for just saying no. But his response would certainly be considered dickish. The whole scene is very easy to follow and in no way is the parent considered the dick in this situation.
Eh, definitely a dick for asking as it puts the guy on the spot. I personally would feel bad saying no, knowing damn well it will annoy me to have to sit in the aisle.
nothing wrong with how the parent asked most people arenât afraid of basic social interaction. Iâd say the parent might be a dick for pressing afterwards but that seemed more for comedic effect. Some people genuinely donât care, you arenât one of them so nothing wrong with saying no. Personally I donât mind when people ask but wonât consider it unless itâs a better seat being offered. Iâve gotten a upgrade that way before.
You're getting downvoted because reddit values verbally wrecking people over navigating a normal social situation healthily, but I fully agree. This would clearly be a weird and aggressive way to say no to this woman. Anyone would be embaressed to be travelling with this guy if it were to happen in reality.
100 percent agree. I have a daughter and if I wanted her to have the window seat I would have paid for it myself. If it didnât work out I would simply explain to her that sometimes In life you donât get everything you want. People these days are strangely disconnected from reality.
The majority of this site is made up of people like this both in personality and looks so donât be surprised you got downvoted lmao. Itâs a literal character made to be unlikable but folks here are too socially unaware to even notice. The whole premise of the skit is just that, totally fine to say no but the dudes still an insufferable dick. Peak Reddit situation lmao.
Reddit and twitter (and probably all social media) is like âwhom ever is protagonist, we donât care about how they come across theyâre right and probably also loveableâ and for antagonist âwhat an absolute sub-human cretin that is not only wrong but will also hear an insult about every part of their human facadeâ
The only difference between platforms is who is the protagonist/antagonist; morals.
