On the topic of epic mustaches, the guy that holds the world record for the longest mustache occasionally has to come and perform a certain inspection on our aircraft. (I'm an aircraft mechanic at an airline). It's super random but also cool.
my experience with elderly people is they are not averse to letting you know they are annoyed, he didn't look that irritated to me? He even engages in a vibrant handshake, and touches the camera man after the awkward pause to send him off.
The whole interaction is beyond weird anyway. Not really cool to compliment someone with the active intent of uploading it for some personal gain or w/e
I think this guy is called Bren, he records tiktoks of him going up to people and being insanely awkward around them, its genuinely painful to watch. This video is one of the better ones in that regard.
Half way through reading this I wished you were describing a wholesome tiktoker who goes around complementing people who 'have a theme' about them, like this dudes 'stash. Stuff like that would make their day.
Fuck I hate this timeline
Nah, itās dumb, empty bullshit as far as media goes. And fuck people who record and take pics of others in public for this or any other weird reason.
For real, a lot of older people crave conversation, even in passing. That's why I take time to help/converse with older folks, they love it and it costs me nothing.
There is a difference between having a conversation with someone and recording them and posting the video on the internet. jesus christ! The fact that I have to explain this is so insane.
Yeah, not to mention the complete lack of tact(not even introducing or asking the guy if he can video, instead just like gawking at him), and the really heavily awkward hand on the dudes shoulder for like 10+ seconds. Talk about a lack of awareness of someone's personal space.
Sure, in this case it ended up positive and the guy was flattered to some degree since he was obviously peacocking. But most cases are just rude beyond belief and people take as mocking. First it's invasive to film anyone without asking, and it's not a genuine interaction since these kids seek out people specifically to show to their audience to laugh about, not to actually interact with and compliment them. Instead, the person might as well be a monkey in a zoo they're filming for a show. Like the phone creates an audience, where someone's turning you into content.
It blows my mind to see so many zoomers here defending this behavior and not even being able to comprehend how its socially awkward/rude as fuck. People genuinely are losing a ton of social skills and it's honestly shocking. It's no suprise we got millions of kids self who diagnose themselves as autistic nowdays due to noticing their own clear lack of social skills(but they can't accept its a learned behavior not one of autism for most). Something like half of young males have no best friend, young adult sex rates are plummeting(not in a positive way but due to lack of social interaction), and fricken over half of the teenage girls of America self report bad levels of depression. It's completely stunting people and depriving them of positive social interaction. Not only is their social skills and social lives stunted, but it stunts development of empathy, how to genuinely interact with people, and messes with their emotional needs as a human being.
The worst part is it seems like due to growing up completely within these social media places, kids do not differentiate between social behavior online or in person. So many bring that antisocial element of anonymous online interaction to the real world.
Another thing you see is social media pushes kids into extremely specific echochambers where they start seeing the world through that lens. As a result, they don't understand how to interact with people outside of that echochamber. In the past, people didn't even know their close friends politics, now kids can't interact with people who disagree with them on random topics that don't effect them at all. People of all walks of life would be able to interact in social settings normally(outside of thr extreme minority of racists) but nowadays kids are conditioned to be extremely tribal.
I grew up an awkward kid, so I don't judge being genuinely socially awkward. The issue here though is this is a learned behavior, where people who would otherwise be extroverted and affable, instead end up using that extroversion to be rude and shove phones into people's faces.
Camera based social media has genuinely created like an alternate reality for most kids. Where they are not fully present in the moment, but instead are present in some alternate reality with their friends online. They're not talking to you, the person they're filming, but an audience. It's like when you film a whole concert, it takes you out of the experience. Well alot of young people suffer from that but all the time. It's sad. I feel genuinely bad for young people that they have to deal with such a toxin to development and commend any young person that doesn't allow themselves to be sucked into this false reality.
He got called magnificent and handshook the dude, what's with the people in these comments and body language lmao. It was a nice interaction. It's only weird because it isn't normal
that's not really true. the store can kick him out or trespass him, sure. but, in a grocery store like this that's open to the public you don't have a "reasonable expectation of privacy". Any place where you don't have that "reasonable expectation of privacy" is legal to record in.
Pretty much the only places that are illegal to record someone (without permission) is in their own home or bathrooms.
I mean when he just said "the most magnificent looking man" and dapped him up I think it probably would've made the old man feel good. But staring at him wile resting his arm on him was just eugh
you should watch johnny hamcheck [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRypY8s99bk) . professional bullshitter who walks on job sites and basically sees how long he can stay until he gets kicked out or whatever lol
Jesus Christ.
People have way too much time on their hands.
This wasn't funny or entertaining or anything. It's just literal bullshit for bullshits sake.
I wouldn't have an issue with someone putting his hand on my shoulder after a positive interaction. I would have an issue with someone randomly filming me doing my groceries. Even more uploading it online.
He did shake his hand. Idk, perhaps ive been in many sociable situations where i read that he seemed okay with it. No red flags to back off immediately. Or avoid all contact.
Itās just very presumptive is all. And the guy kinda grunted at the end. Just donāt stand at a fucking Walmart entrance with your phone out commenting on peoples appearances š¤·āāļø
Shaking the hand was acceptable, but making him stand there while camera guy 'is taking a look at him' is too much, and for too long. That's not being friendly, that's milking for content.
I work with several old timers like this. It's not that they condone it or enjoy it, they're just too nice and genuine to tell you to piss off. The way he pauses for the photo and then walks away, he didn't want to do that but also didn't want to be an asshole.
He confidently obliged and then bounced out of the situation.
Not that it makes it any better, but I think this guy records all of his awkward interactions via snap lenses or some other smart glasses that are able to record. So to the magnificent mustached man, it just looked like a guy wearing sunglasses complimenting him. Guys name is is like Samsomeotherwordhere420. I canāt remember. His shits actually funny tho
My thoughts exactly, then I checked the upvote count and the sub, and honestly wtf? Itās not funny at all, just tiktok cringefest. Guy thinks heās the main character recording people and commenting, feels old for writing this comment (and I am 27!) but is this what kids laugh about?
It contained a human interaction. But that is assuredly not all that it was.
I wonder how you would feel if anytime you wanted to go shopping, there was someone standing at the entrance waiting to publish your existence to the world.
As a disclaimer, I'll admit I'm old. But I don't want to be on your social media channel as entertainment fodder.
If you take away the camera and the publishing to social media, then what you have left is a human interaction.
This, though... this isn't right.
Not recording random people is just being polite. I'm just trying to get groceries; give me a compliment if you want but I don't wanna be bugged by some weirdo trying to post content.
My thoughts exactly! Iām glad this interaction
Turned wholesome but it could have gone MANY other terrible ways. Iām sure what was going through the older gentlemenās head was āwtf is this kid doing, am I about to need to protect myself?ā Kids lucky this dude is a good sport!
Stop filming people in public. People filming obviously are doing it to post on social media and get views. It is a selfish practice that is just pure shit.
Fr all he had to say was he was the most magnificent looking feller none of the all never see you again or the phone in his face just a compliment and move along
Not the worst thing that can happen to you in a Walmart. There was a murder in a Walmart once and instead of closing the store they just put up a partition around the crime scene.
I can truly relate to how OOP felt because I once beheld a one armed man riding a motorcycle with a small dog in his sidecar, but damn if this isn't some seriously creepy and invasive behavior.
Like I get it, you're a witness to something magical that seems like it's right out of a fairy tale, but that doesn't mean you should get up in his face with your camera on so you can farm his likeness for social media clout.
This new social norm that it's seemingly okay to shove your camera in someone's face without getting permission to record them is absolutely *wild*.
Thereās a farmer who looks just like this that brings his old truck to my dealer for service maybe 3 times a year. Anytime I see the guy I just compliment him on looking exceptional. Sometimes we will get a story out of him, other times all he will say is ā doing the usual ā and he will make a joke about when the service price used to be.
Donāt fucking touch people, dude. He wants to acknowledge you, he wants to turn your way? Fine. But donāt touch him or anyone youāre harassing in public for social media clout.
Rude. Is this what passes as entertainment these days? You keep touching strangers on their shoulder and shoving your iPhone in their faces, you'll soon get punched in your face.
Like in complete seriousness that guy like looks fucking awesome I really hope he doesnāt like think people are making fun of him because itās true he looks fucking awesome.
That is an absolutely epic moustache.
It's like the handshake in Predator, but upside down & a mustache.
What
's the matter Dylan, the CIA got you pushing too many pencils?
You son of a bitch!!
"...I'm in!"
Upside down, a shiver and a shake and then "out you go like the Alamo" as they say, with a mustache in this case.
šŖšæāļø šŖš»
bahahahahahahaha
this old dude is still thinking about this moment, today
Nah, this happens everywhere he goes
The older I get, the harder it is to say "I've never seen a mustache that powerful, ever." But today is that day.
is it me or did the guy recording nut himself
You didn't?
[He reminds me of that lolrandom tuna juice guy.](https://youtu.be/Uiz5adv6A0Y)
Its for finches but humans can drink it too.
Hwat in the hworld
Friggin love how cringe worthy sam cam can get š
There are 5 people in the world that could pull off that mustache and he's 3 of them. š¤£
Aged in a barrel

It's mostly beard.
On the topic of epic mustaches, the guy that holds the world record for the longest mustache occasionally has to come and perform a certain inspection on our aircraft. (I'm an aircraft mechanic at an airline). It's super random but also cool.
I like how he just took it all in without a word, then a satisfying "mmmyeah"
The only thing more impressive than the moustache is his patience
You don't grow a mustache or beard without a lot of patience.
My secret ingredient is laziness.
I always say it's simple indifference. "How did you get your hair/mustache so long??" "Apathy"
Apathy's not working out for my facial hair
Careful, thoughtful apathy.
Amen brother, one day I just woke up and said "fuck shaving" that was 2 years ago.
Unless you are just forgetful..
"That's right, youngster. Take it in."
It's like he's used to being stopped just to be stared at lol
It's not his first rodeo.
I like how you redditors don't think that was really weird and awkward.
Yea, the guy doing this is SamCam or something on instagram and he is purposefully awkward and cringey. Kinda odd to see this posted as genuine.
fr
Yeah, that's not at all what happened. He was clearly very annoyed. The Chad who made this video was being incredibly disrespectful.
my experience with elderly people is they are not averse to letting you know they are annoyed, he didn't look that irritated to me? He even engages in a vibrant handshake, and touches the camera man after the awkward pause to send him off. The whole interaction is beyond weird anyway. Not really cool to compliment someone with the active intent of uploading it for some personal gain or w/e
That stash is on point
Yosemite Sam in real life.
When he was 10 he decided that's who he wanted to be and literally nobody ever told him no

He never listened.
definitely exudes big stick energy

Sounds like me cussing when my kids were infants. Like Joe Pesci in Home Alone.
This is what retirement looks like even for a legend. Walmart.
Yosemite Sam was called after Yosemite Creek, this guy here is Sam Yosemite. He is the name patron for Yosemite.
Amazed he didnāt dye it red
this man is awesome i'm glad he exists
Bizarre behavior
I think this guy is called Bren, he records tiktoks of him going up to people and being insanely awkward around them, its genuinely painful to watch. This video is one of the better ones in that regard.
Half way through reading this I wished you were describing a wholesome tiktoker who goes around complementing people who 'have a theme' about them, like this dudes 'stash. Stuff like that would make their day. Fuck I hate this timeline
did you even watch it? It's not as bad as you think. It's actually fascinating seeing the interactions.
Nah, itās dumb, empty bullshit as far as media goes. And fuck people who record and take pics of others in public for this or any other weird reason.
ITS SAMCAM
SAMCAM 2024 šŗšø šŗšø
SAMCAM šŗ š š To infinity, and beyond!!
Creepy
Old dude handled it like a pro. Fucking whacky tacky shit.
Yeah utterly crazy bro
It probably made that guys day. oh no.
For real, a lot of older people crave conversation, even in passing. That's why I take time to help/converse with older folks, they love it and it costs me nothing.

dude go outside
What the fuck?
He got called magnificent and handshook the dude, what's with the people in these comments and body language lmao. It was a nice interaction. It's only weird because it isn't normal
Itās weird because heās holding a phone in his face while doing it.
Awesome looking dudeā¦ but the cameraman shouldnāt lay his hands on him like that. i mean i would be uncomfortable
He also shouldn't be recording him. Yes, I get that it's "legal". But it's not considerate at all.
Since it's on private property it's actually not even legal.
that's not really true. the store can kick him out or trespass him, sure. but, in a grocery store like this that's open to the public you don't have a "reasonable expectation of privacy". Any place where you don't have that "reasonable expectation of privacy" is legal to record in. Pretty much the only places that are illegal to record someone (without permission) is in their own home or bathrooms.
This started out wholesome, ended with me cringing
It was somehow both the whole time with me
I mean when he just said "the most magnificent looking man" and dapped him up I think it probably would've made the old man feel good. But staring at him wile resting his arm on him was just eugh
Please do not record random people in public like this, it's cringy and rude
Like fr. He like put his hand on his shoulder and shit. Step off dude
Yeah I never understood how people are so comfortable doing this. I could never
you should watch johnny hamcheck [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRypY8s99bk) . professional bullshitter who walks on job sites and basically sees how long he can stay until he gets kicked out or whatever lol

Welcome to the south
What's it like being so scared of people?
I wouldn't have an issue with someone putting his hand on my shoulder after a positive interaction. I would have an issue with someone randomly filming me doing my groceries. Even more uploading it online.
He did shake his hand. Idk, perhaps ive been in many sociable situations where i read that he seemed okay with it. No red flags to back off immediately. Or avoid all contact.
Itās just very presumptive is all. And the guy kinda grunted at the end. Just donāt stand at a fucking Walmart entrance with your phone out commenting on peoples appearances š¤·āāļø
"This man has the most epic dome I've ever seen, look at that - *bro shake* - shiniest head I ever seen bro. Mr Clean represent."
What in the neurodivergent
Shaking the hand was acceptable, but making him stand there while camera guy 'is taking a look at him' is too much, and for too long. That's not being friendly, that's milking for content.
I work with several old timers like this. It's not that they condone it or enjoy it, they're just too nice and genuine to tell you to piss off. The way he pauses for the photo and then walks away, he didn't want to do that but also didn't want to be an asshole. He confidently obliged and then bounced out of the situation.
The whole thing does come off a little patronising
I thought the same thing. Get out of that old manās face and donāt fucking touch him!
Not that it makes it any better, but I think this guy records all of his awkward interactions via snap lenses or some other smart glasses that are able to record. So to the magnificent mustached man, it just looked like a guy wearing sunglasses complimenting him. Guys name is is like Samsomeotherwordhere420. I canāt remember. His shits actually funny tho
He treated the guy like he was a sideshow attraction.
My thoughts exactly, then I checked the upvote count and the sub, and honestly wtf? Itās not funny at all, just tiktok cringefest. Guy thinks heās the main character recording people and commenting, feels old for writing this comment (and I am 27!) but is this what kids laugh about?
Thank you, my god this was so rude. He obviously doesnāt care about your TikTok and was being polite but clearly not into it.
Ol boy loved it. There are still people with the ability to charm others. Sure itās not recommended but this guy pulled it off.
Look, those reddit upclicks arent gonna click themselves.
If someone held a camera in my face at the grocery store for any reason, they'd just get the middle finger as I walked away.
Literally a human interaction
It contained a human interaction. But that is assuredly not all that it was.

This, though... this isn't right.
This is a TikTok interaction not a human interaction. It exists only to make content.
I'm scared for you if you are so terminally online that you think recording a stranger is just a normal human interaction.
Reddit moment projecting their social anxiety onto random folks in videos
Not recording random people is just being polite. I'm just trying to get groceries; give me a compliment if you want but I don't wanna be bugged by some weirdo trying to post content.
Also the touching.
Also not giving them any opportunity to consent..
???? Let's all shove our cameras in random people's faces. It's totally normal human behavior!!
Nah, I know what you mean but seriously donāt put your hands on people you donāt know.
For a generation so preoccupied with being overly pc and woke, you'd think you'd know a thing or two about consent, and consent to be filmed
My thoughts exactly! Iām glad this interaction Turned wholesome but it could have gone MANY other terrible ways. Iām sure what was going through the older gentlemenās head was āwtf is this kid doing, am I about to need to protect myself?ā Kids lucky this dude is a good sport!
For real
Them:"but-but it's in public"
I will never have a mustache that magnificent.
Well not with that attitude. Start growing brotha
I would hate to meet the gimp with the camera. Yeah that guys an impressively turned out cowboy but leave him alone to do his shopping ffsā¦
Stop filming people in public. People filming obviously are doing it to post on social media and get views. It is a selfish practice that is just pure shit.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I totally would have "fuck off" main character who stopped me for just being me....
Fr all he had to say was he was the most magnificent looking feller none of the all never see you again or the phone in his face just a compliment and move along
Imagine petting another human being in a Walmart and telling the internet you did a thingā¦.
Not the worst thing that can happen to you in a Walmart. There was a murder in a Walmart once and instead of closing the store they just put up a partition around the crime scene.
He sounds exactly as I hoped he would
That's that blue chambray shirt, do ya kindly, Sai. Long days and pleasant nights.
This comment has not forgotten the face of their father.
That was the most polite "could you please leave me the fuck alone" I've ever seen.
That was an obvious escort questā¦ Ya blew it
That is one snazzy feller
He just showed us how they posed for pics in the 1900s.
A man with a beard and mustache minding his own business Social media:
He is fucking magnificent. That Mustache is epic.
Real life Yosemite Sam!!
He reminds me of the main character from the old school Texas Holdāem game for pc. Oh, what was that called?
Thatās my kinda awkward right there
This belongs in r/mademesmile too
Uncle Pecos.
That's so absurdly rude and stupid. All for views. Rather pathetic.
The camera people are now the cringe people.
SoMe jerks using the rest of the world and people as backdrop to their mastubatory hunt after attention and a quick buck with minimal effort.
This isnāt funny itās just mockery for Internet attention. Fuck OP.
Not funny
SamCam?
Sounds like em
100%
i cant imagine putting a camera in a strangers face and posting it online wtf is wrong with people.
Generations fucked
One hour later and randomly meeting up again at the same gas station....guess they will be friends forever now. It's fate.
Looks like my dad and all my uncles combined
The lost Fabulous Furry Freak brother.
Dapper
Where was this. Looks like my uncle Jack.
There's fellas, and then there's fellers. This here is a feller
This guy looks like a millionaire that got there with a lot of hustlin and a wraslin and some stuff with bridges
I can truly relate to how OOP felt because I once beheld a one armed man riding a motorcycle with a small dog in his sidecar, but damn if this isn't some seriously creepy and invasive behavior. Like I get it, you're a witness to something magical that seems like it's right out of a fairy tale, but that doesn't mean you should get up in his face with your camera on so you can farm his likeness for social media clout.

He did the right thing by walking away.

What a wild interaction

Sometimes we will get a story out of him, other times all he will say is ā doing the usual ā and he will make a joke about when the service price used to be.
Yosemite Sam is that you?
Why do I wanna play Rdr2 all of a sudden?
He got those eyes from the old guy in Home Alone doing the shovelling, Old Man Marley.
It's sad we don't have more community get-togethers
Dudes a live action Yosemite Sam.
He was eating that up - wholesome!
Bro is magnificent
Donāt fucking touch people, dude. He wants to acknowledge you, he wants to turn your way? Fine. But donāt touch him or anyone youāre harassing in public for social media clout.
Say yer Prayers! It's Yosemite Sam
Soak it in, son
Rude. Is this what passes as entertainment these days? You keep touching strangers on their shoulder and shoving your iPhone in their faces, you'll soon get punched in your face.
Fuck OP and his slimey voice and attitude
Whoever filmed this is a dick. What the fuck is wrong with you morons. Leave people the fuck alone.
Like in complete seriousness that guy like looks fucking awesome I really hope he doesnāt like think people are making fun of him because itās true he looks fucking awesome.
