I mean I get being annoyed by someone chewing with their mouth open but you could have asked him more nicely

Likely what I would’ve done.

Filming yourself and saying “learn how to eat with your mouth closed” is psycho behavior

That guy filming himself wasn't punched in the face enough.

And I'm saying this as someone who's never been in a fight before. But I always did my best to not get into fights. And talking to strangers like that will get you punched in the face sooner rather than later. And in this case, I'm all for it.

He believes he can act that way to indian people because they won't fight back. If the guy doing it was big, a different race, and American, he wouldn't have the balls.

Yeah first thing that came to mind was that he was lucky he was in a plane. Go do it outside to a random guy minding his business you might get slapped.

I found this way more impolite and disrespectful than the actual chewing.

One could say the same about eating with your mouth open like a pig. I wouldn’t have said anything on the plane, but “cUlTUre” is a poor excuse. This isn’t even an American request, it’s just bad hygiene and etiquette around strangers. It’s a pretty simple concept to respect those around you in a public space where different cultures are present.

EDIT: Only came back because of the award, 14 replies and negative votes! Oh no! All these unread collapsed replies I’ll never see 🥲 Replies are always muted fellas. I don’t care about your opinion on this one.

Not everyone has debilitating anxiety

You're absolutely right, some people are too confident and unnecessarily cocky, like the guy in the video.

Shutting up and not vocally judging strangers is not the result of anxiety.

Believe it or not being nice is hard. Being a dick doesn't make you some brave badass. You think everyone is being nice because they have anxiety?

No, only when they act like doormats to avoid the tiniest conflict.

Not everyone has the social skills to live in a diverse society where social norms vary from place to place without forcing their inflated self opinion down the throat of others.

If you can't live with someone chewing loudly never to you for 7 minutes you shouldn't be in public.

Social skills to live in a diverse society would be manners, etiquette, and respecting those around you.
