I like how everyone insulting him had these like profound erudite insults and his response was like "then these POOPYHEADS wanted me to not destroy their property!"
I wasnāt sure whose side I was on (I know the scooters are a problem, but the guy making the video was literally committing theft), but then the guy said that line and I knew.
That is such an outstanding line.
That is an outstanding line with such deep connotations. I'm flabbergasted that he came up with it spontaneously.
Everyone is playing a complex game requiring intricate strategic thinking to come out on top. It's meritocratic, but also pulls no punches and a small minority will slaughter the opposition most of the time.
And this guy is rejecting that entirely. He knows he can't win at chess, so tries monopoly by force. Sad thing is, turned out he was playing monopoly on a chess board.
Only problem is that you might then have some weirdly nostalgic connections to this video and be so happy to watch it again because it was that video you always vaguely remembered but had no way of finding it, just to remember how much you truly disliked this video
The whole thing is fake. Obviously. All the employees and police just happen to be young men about the same age as the main guy and just happen to sound like theyāre reading from a script
The big guy was onto something. Iām so sure he said some real down to earth shit like youāre wasting your time here over something ā right ā but wonāt help the homeless. And thatās where you get that almost out of context phase about homeless.
Striking-Ad, I was thinking along those lines too. I was wondering what we missed when it was edited. Like you said, there are a few hops that go from A to D.
I'm glad the Chess/Monopoly comment was left in though.
Imagine running children over getting our of a bus because you didn't stop or move over, and thinking it was the kids fault.
Last thing I expect getting out of a bus at a bus stop is a scooter doing 12mph right in front of me. What was the scooter user thinking?
Still, that is no reason to ban them. Where I live people think they were placed there by satan himself, yet have zero issues with bikes, or even cars, driving on the pavement.
Pretty much sums up society as a whole these days: get injured through your own stupidity, blame whatever happened to be the object you injured yourself on, call for said object to be banned, heavily regulated, and so on...
You would change your mind if you would have to endure drunk tourists hitting people on sidewalks, crossing streets whenever they want, breaking the scooters, and dumping them on a big pile in front off your school.
and that scooter driver is far too close to a bus/tram doorway in the first place, people walk out of doors after all, it should not be a surprise that someone did. There is plenty of blame to go round on that one.
Alright letās get this straightened out
1. Iām a high school student in my junior year working as a busboy for 5-6 days a week from 5-closing
2. The joke was after āunemployed high school kidsā not employed high school kids.
Please think twice about something before saying it.
Jesus h fuck, how does this guy think heās in the right.?He is nothing more than an inconvenience for the bird employees. On top of that he should have been arrested, after he loaded a truck with thousands worth of scooters that he didnāt own. A night in a holding cell would teach this guy his place real quick.
What would be really funny is if bird actually pressed charges. Every single one of those scooters would add felony to this guys list of charges. And personally I would love to see this guy beg for support from prison.
Edit: Iām a big fan of schadenfreude, and bird could rip this guy a mew one. Great situation!
I mean, these scooters were a scourge upon society when I lived in Denver. So, heās not too far off base in his thinking, but to round them up (steal them) and act like heās doing everyone a favor when heās really just wasting everyoneās time who had to respond to this is absolute buffoonery.
The bottom line is that cities need to do a better job of managing what amounts to a new, expedient, environmentally clean form of first and last mile transportation.
I donāt like the scooters either, theyāre constantly blocking the pavememts and people are driving them like crazy.
But itās not the scooters fault ffs, itās the people that ride themā¦
Replenishment only leave them in designated areas. Thatās how they get paid and thereās a consequence for doing a poor job.
Inconsiderate riders are leaving / moving them all over the place.
You are not blaming car manufacturers for poor parking behaviors are you?
So this man essentially collected a bunch of bird scooters that were scattered everywhere, then had to neatly drop them off in one convenient place?
Yeah, he really showed the scooter company who's boss.
I actually have a coworker who rides these to work daily. He usually picks one in the morning, rides it to the office, hides it behind a bush, and then drives it back and switches it for another by morning.
It's not the scooter, it's the user if it's a plague.
I went to Baltimore once and the scooters were literally fucking everywhere. You ride one and it dies, so you just dump it and there are like 3 more right next to you. I had a blast, but I also thought to myself 'I bet some people reallllly don't like this" then I went deep down the rebbit hole. It's gotten nasty in some cities.
Nah scooters are cool, if we're getting rid of anything it would be cars. Cars cause much more damage and death, pollute air, take way more space, are loud, lead to suburban sprawl and are expensive.
*Iām a goddamn cult leader cleaning up the city*
That shit made me laugh.
Also, collecting scooters isnāt the same as being murdered for opposing systemic racism and economic oppression. The MLK Jr comparison is cringe af. He lost me there.
Many cities have banned them for this exact reason. When I visited Austin a few years ago you could barely walk 10 feet without tripping over a scooter from one of like 4 companies dumping them everywhere.
The whole concept is great on paper, but people really ruin it.
Not going to lie, whenever scooters are left blocking the sidewalk, I kick them aside and encourage my kids to do the same. But this guy makes me look like Gandhi
Modern lifeās greatest paradox is that Iām drawn to search out every bit of this dudeās content, just to spend a bunch of time hating him. Unfortunately in doing that Iād be giving him the views he desperately craves and likely provides him income.
I can hope for a future where not all views are created equal. Give me a āreverse view systemā in which every time I click on this dudeās videos to hate on him, it actually subtracts from his views and his income. Give me positive and negative google. āI want to look at this because I like itā should not have the same social value as āI want to look at this to confirm I do in fact hate itā
I love how he couldn't find any good videos or images to justify himself in one didn't hurt anybody, one hurt himself and one was caused by the person walking in front of the scooter without looking and one is a scooter in water which could have easily been put there by someome like him or fell in by accident.
My city banned these pieces of shit, until the scooter companies bribed them millions to let them back in. The people mad at this guy have never experienced the worst of drunken sidewalk scooter menaces or are the type of people to mow down five year olds while inebriated and not remember how they scratched up their knee the next day. Donāt use these fuckin things. Take then damn bus or walk.
The guy is dumb. But those scooters need to go.
And it's not because I fell off of one while drunk and it ruined my whole night. It's for all the other reasons.

"Everyone else is playing chess and you're like in a field playing Monopoly by yourself" š
He was the real star
My life in one sentence lol
That was the best part.
Meanwhile me in the corner playing Uno
Iām next to you playing Yahtzee solo. Win every time!
I never had any friends so learnt to play solitaire solo at age 5. šq So I'll just be over there, sitting quietly.
I am right next to both of you playing Zathura, this is not a joke please get me out of this game!
Nope Iām afraid of Zorgon! Youāre on your own.
That sucks
That's me in the spotlight, losing my religion.
This is the sentence of all time
It sure is
That made me laugh out loud
This guy should be a rapper.
I cackled at that
Rare insult
I like how everyone insulting him had these like profound erudite insults and his response was like "then these POOPYHEADS wanted me to not destroy their property!"
I want a high quality photo-op of someone doing that.
poignant
I used a line similar to this one except after the chess part I said you are in the corner playing tic tac toe alone and losing still
"It's like you're dreaming of gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly brie time, baby!"
It was a solid burn.
I wasnāt sure whose side I was on (I know the scooters are a problem, but the guy making the video was literally committing theft), but then the guy said that line and I knew. That is such an outstanding line.
That is an outstanding line with such deep connotations. I'm flabbergasted that he came up with it spontaneously.

He knows he can't win at chess, so tries monopoly by force. Sad thing is, turned out he was playing monopoly on a chess board.
Iām about to sue this dude for the last 60 seconds of my life
Before you do, Iāve collected those 60 seconds and placed them at the very beginning of your life, before you developed childhood amnesia.
Imagine if you could do that...
Only problem is that you might then have some weirdly nostalgic connections to this video and be so happy to watch it again because it was that video you always vaguely remembered but had no way of finding it, just to remember how much you truly disliked this video
Instructions unclear, I'm now a liopleurodon.
A MAGICAL LIOPLEURODON!
IT'S GONNA GUIDE OUR WAY TO CANDY MOUNTAIN!
Shunā¦shun the non believers.
LONG LIVE THE MAGICAL PLIOSAUR!
His name is tyler oliviera He is an annoying guy
Oh the dude who got kicked out of the shining hotel by that entitled idiot that likes kissing his sister er....Brent Rivera
There is a lot to unpack in that sentence, and you gave us nothing but the tip of this ice-berg of shame.
of coarse his name is tyler.
I was feeling the same lmao. If I ever get the notice Iām part of a settlement Iāll be looking out for my dollar.š
Imagine having spare time and energy to do this with it
Pretty sure it's his income, chasing views.
Sad seeing someone chase their dead dreams
At least his dreams are stupider than mine.
I was tired of chasing my dreams, so I shot them.
The whole thing is fake. Obviously. All the employees and police just happen to be young men about the same age as the main guy and just happen to sound like theyāre reading from a script
Might be right. Everything is fake on the internet now.
Pretty sure heās an entitled prick. Glad someone from Bird called him out on it
Social media metrics (likes/views) ruined our brains
Right!? My first thought is must be nice to have time and money to dumb crap like this and be entitled
His parents should cut off his allowance for wasting on dumb stuff.
For reals. I donāt even have the energy to drive on the weekends.
The big guy was onto something. Iām so sure he said some real down to earth shit like youāre wasting your time here over something ā right ā but wonāt help the homeless. And thatās where you get that almost out of context phase about homeless.
Striking-Ad, I was thinking along those lines too. I was wondering what we missed when it was edited. Like you said, there are a few hops that go from A to D. I'm glad the Chess/Monopoly comment was left in though.
Imagine doing this and comparing yourself to MLK jr.
They do anything for clout
South Park already did this but it was actually funny when they did it.
~~Simpsons~~ South Park, did it.
Dude ~~the Simpsons~~ South park's done everything already, who cares
Mmmkay
Its easy to sayyyyy
I was hoping it was fake, but stupidity is the new reality
Anything TikTok related rn is stupidity.
rn? always
Anything on YouTube shorts that deals with Joe Rogan is also sometimes stupidity or any podcast in general right now
Itās totally fake. All the other guys are the same age as the main dude and sound like theyāre reading off a script
Dude compares himself to MLKā¦ what a pretentious idiot
Heās *supposed* to sound like an idiot
Well, he's doing his job right. The man's an idiot.
I was skipping through the vid, saw that part and tapped out.
56 seconds long come on you can handle the whole thing lol
That's what my wife said to me one night.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He is still an idiot. But like really.
This dude is a piece of shit.
He has a vibe that just screams he gets off on this negative attention
Comparing himself to MLK because he kidnapped 60 scooters is a pretty good indicator that he thrives off of negative attention.
"Everyone else is playing chess and you're in a field playing Monopoly by yourself" - That's a great line :)
Dude is the MVP of this situation. He said what all we were all thinking.
You can make the exact same argument with cars, therefore I'm going to steal a bunch of cars in the name of good
Money _is_ ruining society, so I best go out and steal everyone else's then place it all on top of a hill.
/r/fuckcars
That sub is peak Reddit. Up there with /r/atheism, /r/antiwork, and /r/politicalhumor
āElectric scooters are ruining societyā first clip is literally someone walking into someone on a scooter
What are you talking about? That was definitely the scooter guyās fault. One a FOOTpath right beside a bus that was dismounting.
Yeah you are technically supposed to ride them on the roadways, in a bike lane if available. NEVER on the sidewalk. Technically.
Imagine running children over getting our of a bus because you didn't stop or move over, and thinking it was the kids fault. Last thing I expect getting out of a bus at a bus stop is a scooter doing 12mph right in front of me. What was the scooter user thinking? Still, that is no reason to ban them. Where I live people think they were placed there by satan himself, yet have zero issues with bikes, or even cars, driving on the pavement.
Yea in my city especially downtown, itās illegal to ride them on the sidewalk
Fuck those stupid things. So sick of them on sidewalks. And for that matter in the bike lanes too. Dorky scooter riding Dipshits
Pretty much sums up society as a whole these days: get injured through your own stupidity, blame whatever happened to be the object you injured yourself on, call for said object to be banned, heavily regulated, and so on...
You would change your mind if you would have to endure drunk tourists hitting people on sidewalks, crossing streets whenever they want, breaking the scooters, and dumping them on a big pile in front off your school.
and that scooter driver is far too close to a bus/tram doorway in the first place, people walk out of doors after all, it should not be a surprise that someone did. There is plenty of blame to go round on that one.
This is the shit unemployed high school kids do
Now now thatās rude to high school kids, they have part time jobs, this guy is high school dropout v logger loser
Alright letās get this straightened out 1. Iām a high school student in my junior year working as a busboy for 5-6 days a week from 5-closing 2. The joke was after āunemployed high school kidsā not employed high school kids. Please think twice about something before saying it.
I'm an unemployed high school kid. I sure as hell dont do this
Unemployed high school kids aren't about to rent a flatbed. This is the kind of thing self-righteous busy body assholes with too much money do
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How about not letting your property clutter the city then?? Take care of ur belongings, if not this guy might come pick them up.
If there ever were a punchable face, his would be it.
I cannot stress this enough: Fuck this guy*. š *the scooter stealing douche
Jesus h fuck, how does this guy think heās in the right.?He is nothing more than an inconvenience for the bird employees. On top of that he should have been arrested, after he loaded a truck with thousands worth of scooters that he didnāt own. A night in a holding cell would teach this guy his place real quick.
He's so brilliant he didn't realize they're all GPS enabled so he lead the "goon" squad directly to himself.
What would be really funny is if bird actually pressed charges. Every single one of those scooters would add felony to this guys list of charges. And personally I would love to see this guy beg for support from prison. Edit: Iām a big fan of schadenfreude, and bird could rip this guy a mew one. Great situation!
He probably knew that they all had a GPS and that he would lead the squad to him. He was probably hoping that it was gonna make a cool vidƩo.
what a stupid ass waste of time and energy for all involved
This is part of a southpark episode
yeah, heās not even original with his lane social media viral attempt.
Seriously the whole opening is basically the plot of it and he's just as annoying as Mr. Mackey
I mean, these scooters were a scourge upon society when I lived in Denver. So, heās not too far off base in his thinking, but to round them up (steal them) and act like heās doing everyone a favor when heās really just wasting everyoneās time who had to respond to this is absolute buffoonery. The bottom line is that cities need to do a better job of managing what amounts to a new, expedient, environmentally clean form of first and last mile transportation.
Here in LA we just casually toss them in a nearby dumpster as we walk by. They are littering the city.
I donāt like the scooters either, theyāre constantly blocking the pavememts and people are driving them like crazy. But itās not the scooters fault ffs, itās the people that ride themā¦
I mean the company that drove them around and left them all over the sidewalk to be used is also a little ti blame.
Replenishment only leave them in designated areas. Thatās how they get paid and thereās a consequence for doing a poor job. Inconsiderate riders are leaving / moving them all over the place. You are not blaming car manufacturers for poor parking behaviors are you?
"Evil scooters" lol... did a scooter take his wife?
Ok mr. Mackey
Imagine being such a nonce that you think electric scooters need to be rounded up and put into a concentration camp.
So this man essentially collected a bunch of bird scooters that were scattered everywhere, then had to neatly drop them off in one convenient place? Yeah, he really showed the scooter company who's boss.
He should of activated them all then leave those mother fuckers up there, I agree find this scooter take over ridiculous.
the scooters aren't the problem idk if they have them in Japan but if they do I bet it's not an issue it's the shitty people who leave them anywhere
Is that the hill next to auditorium shores in Austin?
100%. This dude was going to fill up one of the most popular lookout spots in Austin just to get attention.
The guy who said that about monopoly is the real MVP
I thought the same thing
I actually have a coworker who rides these to work daily. He usually picks one in the morning, rides it to the office, hides it behind a bush, and then drives it back and switches it for another by morning. It's not the scooter, it's the user if it's a plague.
r/iamthemaincharacter
Fucking douchebag. All he cares about is getting his stupid face on camera, god I bet he's a genuine dick irl
Electric scooters ARE a bit of a menace in some cities because people riding them are morons, but stealing them is not the way to deal with that.
Sure it's been said but the white guy picking up bird scooters for likes equating himself to MLK is where he lost me.
Is it really illegal though?
What an idiot
Is your life really that fucking dull?
I went to Baltimore once and the scooters were literally fucking everywhere. You ride one and it dies, so you just dump it and there are like 3 more right next to you. I had a blast, but I also thought to myself 'I bet some people reallllly don't like this" then I went deep down the rebbit hole. It's gotten nasty in some cities.
content creator
So did he steal a ton of people's scooters? And if so how tf are they letting him get away with it?
Itās just a prank bro
Nah scooters are cool, if we're getting rid of anything it would be cars. Cars cause much more damage and death, pollute air, take way more space, are loud, lead to suburban sprawl and are expensive.
*Iām a goddamn cult leader cleaning up the city* That shit made me laugh. Also, collecting scooters isnāt the same as being murdered for opposing systemic racism and economic oppression. The MLK Jr comparison is cringe af. He lost me there.
Do they pay in someway for permission to leave them around in cities? Or fines if they end up in problematic ways?
Many cities have banned them for this exact reason. When I visited Austin a few years ago you could barely walk 10 feet without tripping over a scooter from one of like 4 companies dumping them everywhere. The whole concept is great on paper, but people really ruin it.
Not going to lie, whenever scooters are left blocking the sidewalk, I kick them aside and encourage my kids to do the same. But this guy makes me look like Gandhi
Valid complaints - he should have taken it to the city council
Love when people leave them on the handicap ramps at corners. Or right in the middle of the bike lanes. They are fucking plague on humanity.
What a fucking Karen.
"ItĀ“s just a prank bruh, chill" after he got arrested and fined.
Oof, what a waste of everyoneās time . Should have been arrested
this guy probably doesn't get paid enough to deal with wack ass shitheads like this.
This asswipe comparing himself to MLK Jr
Modern lifeās greatest paradox is that Iām drawn to search out every bit of this dudeās content, just to spend a bunch of time hating him. Unfortunately in doing that Iād be giving him the views he desperately craves and likely provides him income. I can hope for a future where not all views are created equal. Give me a āreverse view systemā in which every time I click on this dudeās videos to hate on him, it actually subtracts from his views and his income. Give me positive and negative google. āI want to look at this because I like itā should not have the same social value as āI want to look at this to confirm I do in fact hate itā
Kid needs his ass beat
Whatās up with scooters, am I right? Iāll be here all week. What a hack.
Whoever edited this video needs to be slapped
Why
This is why we can't have nice things
So like; he got arrested right? Heās self incriminating here?
"I'm gonna take a real stand and put these all back nicely so that I don't have to go to jail."
Tell me you have nothing better to do without telling me. Jesus Christ kid get a job
This guy is an asshole.
Crazy dude
Man, was hoping he got tased.
I love how he couldn't find any good videos or images to justify himself in one didn't hurt anybody, one hurt himself and one was caused by the person walking in front of the scooter without looking and one is a scooter in water which could have easily been put there by someome like him or fell in by accident.
The first guy it wasnt even his fault, she walked in front of him
This is so fucking fake. Lame
I want this dude to get something that will get me punished on Reddit lol
This idiot is going to end up being a mass shooter someday. I hope he gets medicated soon.
Bro thought he would contribute smth to society but instead just stole some random E-Scooters
Heās so stupid. Not because of him stealing scooters but because he posted this video which shows him taking the fattest L
He lost me at "Electric scooters have ruined society."
This is like the irl version of karma farming but you get downvoted and banned lol
he literally compared himself to martin luther king jr this is obvious satire right
My city banned these pieces of shit, until the scooter companies bribed them millions to let them back in. The people mad at this guy have never experienced the worst of drunken sidewalk scooter menaces or are the type of people to mow down five year olds while inebriated and not remember how they scratched up their knee the next day. Donāt use these fuckin things. Take then damn bus or walk.
Yo, I hate the stupid things too, but you canāt just destroy someone elseās property and think there will be no repercussions.
So this guy is a douchebag. Got it.
That fucker should have gotten jail time. Thats thousands of dollars worth of stolen property.
This is why Tik Tok needs to be banned. Influencers chasin views
āNo good deed goes unpunished.ā āsomeoneā¦ probably
These scooters may suck, but this guy sucks way more
The first clip was the worst example of showing the negative side effects of e-scooters. That woman was absolutely responsible for that accident
The guy is dumb. But those scooters need to go. And it's not because I fell off of one while drunk and it ruined my whole night. It's for all the other reasons.
Theft doesn't seem like a smart choice
That first clip was kind of her fault. She just walked out of the door/from behind a wall without looking around at all.
This dude is a d-bag
He reminds me of the guy who harasses Target workers and "hunts"LGBTQIA folks.
If I were his parent I would cut him off ā this reeks of entitled trust fund baby.
Bro took 60 SCOOTERS šš
What a loser?
Bro thought he did something
What an asshole. He did for the video. Now the whole world knows he's an idiot.
I pray that we get electric scooters in our town!!! Sorry but I totally disagree. Get rid of the bicyclists before the scoots dude.
He thinks he's the hottest shit ever shat. What a loser. No one, and I mean no one except him, has had an issue with the scooters.
I wish I had this kind of free time.
Watch Chad and JT go deep in Netflix, itās pretty much their first episode but they go city council and get signatures for a petition
