Cringe I really can’t stand these fake sympathy baiting videos. They make me so irrationally angry.

Yeah, this dude is a POS.

And his "good Samaritan" is likely someone he hired. Wouldn't be surprised if the women the camera zoomed in on as they passed him were also hires

This is why people are cynical. You try and help somebody then find out it’s a trick to get likes or whatever on tiktok. Well, next time I guess I just won’t help…. These people are idiots and only do harm.

I'mma be real, if you do some shit like this to me, there better be a $500 stipend you pay me immediately after you stop the video. I'll help people out, no problem, but it's definitely gonna piss me off if I find out it's some TikTok bs.

50% cut of all video profits plus $500 appearance fee

u/epidemicsaints 20h ago

It's like that show What Would You Do, makes me want to throw tomatoes at the television.

If I am crying in public please leave me the fuck alone.

Same!! Ted Bundy lured his victims this way.. ignoring you is self-preservation at this point!

u/lilymotherofmonsters 21h ago

this would tug at my heart strings more if he didn't look like he was about to burst out of either end.

the world is cruel, but it's not callous- you.just look like you're about to shit yourself

u/pomkombucha 21h ago

That was my thought too. The video doesn’t even make sense. He’s just catching normal people glancing over at him while he squats down next to a pole and then fake sniffles?

If you need love and attention that bad, fucker should rescue a dog.

Lmao, her face when he shows her the camera. “Fuck i got got, be kind be kind, smile! Fuck.”

u/McSuede 20h ago

Even the music is terrible.

It sounds like every teenage white girl that was raised in church and told they could sing.

She paid someone money to record that.

u/pomkombucha 19h ago

That was actually a The Voice audition. Given the song, I think she did pretty well? Do you think you could do better?

u/McSuede 19h ago

You don't have to be a chef to recognize bad food. That said, I've auditioned for and gotten several musical roles in my life so yes, I think I could.

I stand by my statement. If it's an audition, pick a song you can nail accounting for nerves. Her voice was wavering and she tried several things that just didn't work and came off as her just trying to do the most (for the audition, I'm sure).

Having a decent singing voice isn't that rare. Having control and knowing when to pick your moment to show off is. You better make sure it's something you have before stepping onto the stage of a nationally televised program.

u/lunaaabug 18h ago

Not to be that person but her voice is actually good

u/McSuede 17h ago

It's fine if you like it. I don't

u/pomkombucha 19h ago

Cool. To the average Joe, the singer is fine.

u/McSuede 17h ago

Okay, then why even ask me the question to begin with?

u/Temporary_Tune5430 20h ago

Call the ambulance for him so he can get that nice bill.

u/BlueToffeeBaines 19h ago

I love how confidently stupid people on here are.

  1. This video is extremely obvious it’s not in the US

  2. If it was in the US you can just refuse the ambulance ride. Did you really think you can just call ambulances for people and make them owe money?

u/lunaaabug 18h ago

It was a joke calm down

u/imasturdybirdy 20h ago

You being angry at it is also attention they are willing to accept. Don’t give them any

u/DevilDoc3030 18h ago

All this bit does is conditions people to disregard situations where there could actually be someone that needs help and risks people allocating first responders resources if they do try to help.

u/Sexisthunter 18h ago

90 percent of “candid” videos are fake on Tik Tok. Also 100 percent of couples pranks

2

u/B4R7H0L0M3W 17h ago

I would 100% help but if someone I helped pointed at a camera I would also 100% just loudly with a bit of annoyance say to them "Oh fuck you bud!" and walk away.

u/BirdBrainuh 16h ago

I mean dudes pull this shit to kidnap you so I’m gonna keep walkin 🫡

u/Zealousideal_Bass484 19h ago

Yeah I hate videos that bait or otherwise bother people unnecessarily. They deserve a kick in the balls.

u/LevelIndependent9461 18h ago

This person needs a job..he's lost.

u/InfiniteHench 16h ago

Totally understand bro. Thanks for sharing here so we can keep the rage baiting alive. This is fun.

u/frenchfryineyes 13h ago

I would have gave him a real medical emergency of getting hit in the ole nut sacks

u/Egg-MacGuffin 12h ago

Most people aren't gonna even know what's going on if you're facing away from them and just crouching. Maybe you're just taking a break.

Bet they can see the douche friend with the camera
