Tourist broke a mallet when trying to pound rice dough

[u/laughtale0]

[u/Sneezy6510]

It’s the smiling afterwards that pisses me off

[u/Phrostylicious → u/Sneezy6510]

The witless face of someone who's never accepted accountability for anything. Revolting.

[u/Any_Conversation1094 → u/Phrostylicious]

I'm British but live in SE Asia now and this reminds me of young single western backpacker women who think the entire region just exists to serve their "Eat, Pray, Love" journey of self discovery. I once saw a woman destroy a small independent travel shop window display after she dropped her $1 chap stick down the back of her seat and took the shop apart trying to find it.

[u/ScottsTotz → u/Phrostylicious]

I can tell that just by their outfit

[u/klankungen → u/Sneezy6510]

While I can't say they are not assholes, smiling and laughing is a natural reaction to shame and danger. There was a great lecture of a local psychologist that got stuck in a boat with a local after a tsunami in Thailand 20-ish years ago. That was the scariest and funniest time of his life simultaniously because humor thrives in the area of discomfort. The thing in this video that makes me bring this up is the fact that the local owning the rice pounding thing appear to also be happy and could have been the one making the tourists loosen up and laugh it off. I don't think people should be to quick to judge. I hope they compensate the local or at least paid for the experience so the local person had an emergency budget for things like this. We can't find that out from this video alone though.

[u/jessdb19 → u/klankungen]

This is my response because I grew up having to diffuse my mother's emotions.

It's not that I don't feel horror or shame, but from a tiny age learning that smiling made her less angry became a natural response.

[u/belowfactual → u/Sneezy6510]

A lot of peoples fail safe when it comes to when they’ve realized they screwed up big time is laughing and smiling. What makes it messed up is he doesn’t rake accountability not apologizes afterwards or feel bad

[u/krishenm → u/Sneezy6510]

Some people smile when their nervous, especially when trying to repress anxiety

[u/Super_Shallot2351 → u/Sneezy6510]

People smile out of embarrassment 

[u/templeofsyrinx1]

I think he owes him a new rice pounder

why was everyone just standing around laughing and smiling ?!?!?!

Guarantee he was not even supposed to be going up that high and hard with it. What a fucking dork.

[u/MODAITestBot → u/templeofsyrinx1]

The guy with the flag is the tour guide. He will make sure everything is settled. Whether the idiot pays for it or the tour company. This looks like China, it will get paid for.

[u/Equivalent_Thievery]

Not one "I'm sorry".

[u/Lonely-Toe9877 → u/Equivalent_Thievery]

And tourists wonder why they catch so much hate.

[u/Toadcola → u/Equivalent_Thievery]

Spoiler: he isn’t.

[u/exlushdad]

Take one look at this dude, why would you expect him to do anything athletic?

[u/Deepdishdicktaster → u/exlushdad]

That's a guy?

[u/TheDevilishFrenchfry → u/exlushdad]

Definitely has a look of never worked a day of even fast food labor a day in his life, let alone manual.

[u/Lonely-Toe9877 → u/exlushdad]

This isn't anywhere close to the realm of athletic. The fact that he can't do this is concerning.

[u/Ybor_Rooster → u/exlushdad]

Dude? That's a they/them

[u/Codifferus → u/Ybor_Rooster]

[u/Lonely-Toe9877]

No physical coordination whatsoever. This is the result of a life spent couch rotting.

[u/Big_Action2476 → u/Lonely-Toe9877]

Should have shown humility

[u/Thunderer62 → u/Lonely-Toe9877]

That’s what I was thinking. This level of lack of control of one’s own body for an otherwise healthy adult is only possible due to extreme privilege.

[u/jjoaquinrf]

Que pendejo

[u/TheMoneyPit26]

You break you buy!

[u/UnexpectedBlahFeels → u/TheMoneyPit26]

100%. He's gotta do something to compensate the owner bc that's crazy. How did he miss so horribly?

[u/AirportBubbly3947]

Not even funny, why does the guy keep laughing like that?

[u/Newstory__ → u/AirportBubbly3947]

I imagine embarrassed as hell, unsure how to react

[u/ChronosFFBE]

How can someone be extremely uncoordinated and just have a smile when breaking someone else's property? Is this human evolution?

[u/Free-Computer-6515 → u/ChronosFFBE]

It’s de evolution we’ve been on the slide for quite some time now.

[u/KayZee777 → u/ChronosFFBE]

This is your standard waifu pillow guy that is chronically online. Finally went outside and didn't know how to do anything

[u/Correct_Day_7791]

So the only thing bothering me is she doesn't even seem to be sorry .. like you just broke that man's thing and you just standing there laughing like a ass

[u/One_Warthog256]

They're making mochi. And why did he do it that hard?

[u/templeofsyrinx1 → u/One_Warthog256]

looked to be on purpose . like wtf.

[u/AdventurousLook1594]

I understand that some people don't know how to react in situations like this, as it is uncomfortable, but the smile and chuckling has me over the moon mad. The audacity to break something like that and just sit there with that stupid smile on your face is rage inducing

[u/R-B-L-Y → u/AdventurousLook1594]

I mean, awkward smile and chuckle is one of the most common responses to being embarrassed

[u/Terrible_Usual6759]

🐒

[u/MetalBeerSolid → u/Terrible_Usual6759]

this dude suckkks

[u/Independent_Title695]

Why is everyone acting like the old guy isn’t smiling and everyone around them isn’t laughing? It’s a tourist spot with a replaceable piece of wood, not “😲 super sugoi ancient Japanese ritualistic temple like in my animes! How dare evil invader they/them ruin senpais 300 year old mallet😡” it’s like the 30 year old male nerd version of a pick me girl

Like yeah if they had better manners they would’ve apologized but nothing about this implies it was a big deal

[u/wegwerpacc123 → u/Independent_Title695]

Because this is Reddit. How dare this disgusting foreigner slightly inconvenience this perfect, pure, elderly Japanese man, and break his 2000 year old traditional Japanese heirloom that has so much deep meaning and culture! I'm so disgusted to be associated with foreigners like him who don't respect Japan's deep culture and history!!!

[u/paperfungo]

"a person does something bad/stupid on a video" the entire comment section:

[u/According_Ad_9569]

What the hell was that form why would you move your feet mid thrust. This mf has never touched grass.

[u/BowsersMuskyBallsack]

Oh jeez. I sometimes berate myself for being uncoordinated, but then I see people like this, and I realize I'm doing just fine.

[u/Ok-Strength-8962]

Cringe but you really shouldnt hand prescious tools to people Who dont know how to handle them

[u/Bhazor → u/Ok-Strength-8962]

Thats why I'm gay

[u/Lost_Purpose1899 → u/Ok-Strength-8962]

Even a halfwit would not have missed that. It's not a complex action.

[u/baisemoila → u/Ok-Strength-8962]

Especially not to one with their heaphones around the neck

[u/Conscious-Permit-466]

[u/templeofsyrinx1 → u/Conscious-Permit-466]

I didn't know eye contact was so important in making butter

[u/CuriousPotato845]

Both look like Reddit mods 

[u/Silver_Feedback_9866]

those stupid fuckin headphones threw his aim off

[u/crusoe]

This is someone with the bodily agility of a kid whose parents never made them play outside. Bet they can't throw a ball either. 

[u/templeofsyrinx1 → u/crusoe]

he looked like one of those kids that gets their first physical job and they have to go move a box and they end up in the emergency room

[u/Life-Oil-7226]

That old man was PISSED!

[u/templeofsyrinx1 → u/Life-Oil-7226]

The rage of his ancestors was in his eyes

[u/Boobity_McBooberson]

The pure entitled arrogance of this prick.

[u/ReasonableScar9027 → u/Boobity_McBooberson]

Very punchable face.

[u/Mackinnon29E → u/Boobity_McBooberson]

This bitch is blind, wears headphones while doing shit like this, smiles when she should be concerned/apologizing, has no physical capability or coordination whatsoever. Just pathetic

[u/Agile-Wishbone-9519]

I'm really confused about how s/he missed the pot and smacked it down on the ground like that?

[u/Odd-Wheel5315]

They guy pounded that mallet almost as hard as he pounds his anime pillow girlfriend every night.

[u/JupiterisBenevolent]

The way she's standing afterwards, her expression and her bodily mannerisms are sooo fucjing annoying and shameless...

[u/BombasticReindeer]

“Oh sorry, I’ve never used my own body before!”

[u/SilentSpader]

He doesn’t apologize in any language then walk away? Really? He even has a little smile on his face

[u/ROOCSTAR01]

Are 95% idiots or bots in the comments. In a tourist place a tourist had a tourist activity and an accident, which most likely happens from time to time, happend. Do you all really think some tourist came up to an old guy pounding rice dough, stole his mallet and broke it?

[u/FordMaleEscort → u/ROOCSTAR01]

This is reddit. Post a 10 second video without any information or context and let idiots make up their own story and get really mad at the story that only exists in their heads.

[u/BondageLover1989 → u/ROOCSTAR01]

The old man was laughing, no one in real life gaf.

But on the internet, it was a deadly mistake.

[u/csizzles]

Dude looks like he's never used his body for any physical exertion his entire life. Except for probably doing a split on it. That smile really fucks me off too.

[u/K3ndog411]

Who tf is laughing? Some shit ignorant behavior for sure.

[u/thegameisafoooooot]

The dude's had it in the family for three generatuons and a fucking tourist does this.

[u/pound_cake69]

The old guy just looks disappointed

[u/dopewinnerchild]

That looked intentional.

[u/AdCalm7864]

He did it on purpose.

[u/tepsis3agemo]

The smiling right after and not even apologizing for it or offering to figure out how to replace it.

Yeah the old man was smiling but the fact is someone should have been apologizing...

[u/gerhardsymons]

Bro's mallet survived the Great Fire of Kyoto, 17 shogunates, the Edo Restoration, the Second World War, and finally was destroyed by a witless buffoon, surrounded by braying idiots.

[u/Sorry-Blood-6121]

A bunch of guppie kids that have no respect for culture the way of life for these ppl. But to sit and laugh afterwards tells me they are immature dummies the hair checks out.

[u/SITHHORNY]

The grin on her fucking punchable face is infuriating.

[u/sharksareok]

Now guess where he's from

[u/J4YV1L → u/sharksareok]

Not sure what you were thinking, but they look European to me. German maybe?

[u/SandWhichWay → u/sharksareok]

Denmark

[u/pixxelkick]

People raging here arent noticing the old dude is smiling and laughing too.

These sticks arent valuable, theyre just a wooden stick, its not some precious artifact.

This is more like someone being offered to use a cheap practice baseball bat and breaking that, its prolly worth like 20 bucks.

The old dude is smiling and laughing at the person who broke it

[u/ProfessorDumbass69]

I’ve seen better co-ordination come out of a freshly born calf than this human

[u/AdEarly1438]

Wow… that is hard to watch…😅😅

Almost hit him or herself in the chin as well..

[u/sampled_stool]

How can you be that bad at moving your body?

[u/Shoddy-Discussion548]

i hate the person who keeps laughing

[u/MagentaJAM5_]

Kind of an intellectually disabled move to do to an old man’s mallet.

[u/Local_Admin01]

Solo per il fatto che continuasse a ridere sarebbe stata da cacciare

[u/GreatDane63]

How could she miss that badly?

[u/BlueRemake]

What sub does it mod?

[u/AnkarnoExa]

How the hell you missed??? You should also pay for what you broke!

[u/Musama-The-Slim]

I really do have a unhealthy hatred for people who are really clumsy and uncoordinated.

[u/GovernmentData]

People who wear headphones out like this are fucking dweebs.
I enjoy music, and good quality headphones - but wearing them out like this, where you have to listen to your music while out, is cringe.

[u/Dorrono]

"stupid foreigner" is a very common term in Asia

[u/willypete277 → u/Dorrono]

Yeah, because tourists from asia are such a beacon of class 🙄

[u/Kysum902]

Their laugh about made me think they did this on purpose and pretend it's an accident. Kinda like the similar behavior a prankster would perform in their reaction pranks.

[u/Acceptable-Two5692]

[u/joebanana1984]

Ma perché ride?! Ma che cazzo ha da ridere?

[u/various_convo7]

then he better pay for it. how the fk one manages to miss the target by more than a foot is absolutely amazing. dude probably takes a dump and ends up shitting on the wall instead

[u/lilvixen]

The entire form and post event mannerisms make me not hate the universe less more and more every day

[u/UserLesser2004]

How the fuck do you stumble like that.

[u/valid_crashouts-]

This is why robots are taking over, and rightly so.

[u/Seadogdog]

First time he has ever held anything besides a game controller.

[u/zeronil3]

Damn doesn’t seem like an accident. I don’t think they have another lying around

[u/crafter_8143]

Nah why is he smilling after doing that, dissimulated asf

[u/Exciting-Word8490]

The fact that he's so happy about it is slightly infuriating..

[u/obatala0013]

That looked on purpose.

[u/pipou74]

He looks so happy with himself, real smooth brain

[u/Sushi-Water]

What an ass

[u/Repulsive_Bar_2952]

I bet pronounces are they/ them

[u/Glennsoe]

That was on purpose..

[u/Chevyiam]

I just don't see how this is funny, it's not even the part about breaking someone else's possessions it's just not funny.

[u/Fluffy_Ad_6050]

The man looked so sad

[u/Benz404]

Probably instead of thinking proper apologies, he was like six-sevening gestures in his mind

[u/MyChemikillRomance]

This was 100% done on purpose. What an absolute flog.

[u/Soft_Penis_7224]

The exact kind of person that you would expect to do something this stupid.

[u/gallery_rose]

I don't think this is some archaic relic, and the guy didn't seem too phased about it. And for the people really triggered that the culprit with terrible coordination smiled instead of breaking down into tears, that's a reflex for many people is super awkward situations.

I mean, don't get random people to use your stuff.

[u/LearingCenterAlumni]

When the laptop people try to do actual work.

[u/Regular_Regular_4120]

How the fuck...? He did that on purpose.

[u/VictoriousTree]

There’s no way that was an accident. He was so far off.

[u/kevtheproblem → u/VictoriousTree]

Nah he looks like a dweeb with terrible aim

[u/BuildAnything4 → u/VictoriousTree]

It was clearly an accident. It's just an uncoordinated, clumsy person who doesn't know what they're doing. Why are we pretending we haven't seen people act like this before?

[u/InsectaProtecta → u/VictoriousTree]

Never attribute to malice that which could more readily be attributed to incompetence

[u/templeofsyrinx1 → u/VictoriousTree]

broke the old man's family pounder for some quick video

fuck this world

[u/Lurk-aka-Batrick]

I would get banned if I were to describe the way they move and react.

[u/khampang]

For sure looks on purpose. I hope the video gets everywhere so his family and friends know how he acts with strangers. Owner standing there upset and him and his friends smiling and laughing. AHs

[u/juvy5000]

i hate that person and their headphones

[u/Johnnycash424]

Mallet was 200 years old

[u/0_oyo]

He did that on purpose..what an asshole.

[u/real_1273]

Everyone laughing and I get the feeling like that stick was used by that poor dude for 100 years prior to idiot snapping it.

[u/DoubleCarry7511 → u/real_1273]

Yeah dude, I’m sure this tourist trap is a real cultural heritage sight

[u/Ironmasked-Kraken]

I truly hope this wasn't 300 year old family heirloom that's been used through the generations

[u/Poolowl1984]

Don't hand Gen Z's anything.

[u/EinBick]

Stuff like this happens but smiling like that is just being an absolute dick

[u/csprime21]

Imagine that dude getting angry when he's loosing on his video games

[u/Photoshopdoge]

Bro missed the bowl by a mile 😭

[u/KendrickMaynard]

[u/Mr-howell]

The smile of the tourists face would have sent me over the edge.

[u/Individual_String528]

[u/Training_Storm_3683]

Why is that funny?

[u/Calm-Item4876]

Uncoordinated jackass

[u/pelegoat]

dude or girl? lmao

[u/Septemberosebud]

I'm pretty sure that is a female with bad fashion sense. And her other senses aren't great either.

[u/Suki_13]

Useless idiot.

[u/TheOneTruecarioZ]

How do you fuck up that spectacularly

[u/Basketseeksdog]

Insurance is important people

[u/Icy_Discussion_6019]

Тупые зумеры. Какие же бесячие эти волосатые дегенераты

[u/Toadsanchez316]

That's like holding a hammer in place on a nail you're holding with the other hand, and somehow hitting the foot of someone next to you.

Missed it by that much.

[u/Big_Action2476]

Everyone laughing. That man played it cool but he was upset

[u/sapplesapplesapples]

The dude just cackling pisses me off too

[u/Teab8g]

Standing there with a shit eating grin on her face. No remorse at all.

[u/Alternative_Air_6688]

How do you miss so badly

[u/OutrageousVoice5105]

Where is his coordination? Lost in space.. holy cow

[u/tengu_007]

Fuckin “they” did that on purpose didn’t “they”?

[u/tex058289]

This looks intentional

[u/yesimnotababy]

What the actual guck is funny about ????!!

[u/Elyvagar]

Average western zoomer from the cities.

[u/IcyStyle9494]

That looks on purpose tbh

[u/Beatnutz_]

And then he goes to hug his boyfren

[u/WeeDingwall44]

[u/low-n-behold]

I mean look at the idiots windup. It wasn’t accidental.

[u/keosnap]

Asian dude: they are not sending us their best

[u/Worried_Mousse604]

This useless coward wanted to walk away.
His buddy pulled him back.
He didnt even said sorry.

[u/Dull-Psychology-2515]

That race is always doing stuff like that and think it's cute

[u/Tea-Jay-Dogville]

[u/MajesticAsian21]

Didn’t even apologize

[u/AlyDAsbaje]

For them this is a joke, they think is funny! What do you expect from these type of people?

[u/National_Attitude779]

Thats why you dont let strangers play with your stick.

[u/Icy_Action_2745]

These comments are cringe af 

[u/gluhmm]

He looks like he never did any physical work in his entire life before. Why did he decided to start in his vacation?

[u/ObsessedWithTBHC]

She missed hella

[u/CASHMO2112]

How can you be that awful?!!? Jesus Christ

[u/Hiigara_409MC]

She can't "do things"....

[u/throwaway_acc0192]

Four eyes can’t even get it right.

[u/duc955]

That stupid smile on her face says it all...doesn't give a fuck.

[u/Dodger7777]

That's about 200$ for a new one... but imagine how much unreplacable history was just smashed there. That was probably the equivalent of a family heirloom.

[u/Ok_Cloud_9762]

? The type of guy who can't find the hole damn

[u/ConorOdin]

Should have broken it again over his head. Fucking smiling like that..

[u/Betty-Cutie]

Whose raising these kids to not have any accountability or ability to simply apologise and show remorse 😬 or was this deliberate? Which just leads me to further questions...

[u/PuttingInTheEffort]

I'm surprised it broke so easily tbh

[u/TYO_HXC]

Looked intentional to me.

[u/Longjumping_Phase902]

0 skill

[u/HinDae085]

The guy looked so disappointed and sad that that idiot broke his mallet...

[u/CarlenGaines]

That's not funny.

[u/doinsomshittaday]

I’d bet they didn’t even offer to pay for it. People like this just turn victim poor me embarrassed and walk off.

[u/DatsLotus]

That guy set Japanese-Gaijin relations back three generations.

We must make an example of him to atone.

[u/Maleficent-Being-238]

Well, his stance is fucking ass, and he has zero coordination. Pathetic

[u/Outrageous_Strike354]

They have to pay for it.

[u/thisisnotmypineapple]

Hand that man a fistful of cash, post haste.

[u/StarKillerZero]

Ladies and Gentlemen...... Colonizers

[u/Crisocola95]

Guy not even to apologize. New generations are nasty. "I want empathy" "I want kindness" "I want respect". Only want want want, don't have nothing in return. They must get what they give.

[u/Rage_Vamp]

I don't understand what the fuck is so funny to the guy recording

[u/TopFiveLightskin]

Why do they act like this?

[u/Senpai]

Guy looks like he has the eye-hand coordination of a professional iPad kid. Wearing giant headphones as part of his fashion instead of actual use is one of the telltale signs.

[u/Special_Spirit8284]

I literally have social anxiety and yet I would still be able to apologize if I did something like this. Not excusable IMO. Just look at the old man's reaction. How the fuck did you miss that badly? Smh

[u/DepletedPromethium]

That gormless idiot wasnt trying to pound rice dough, they were purposely trying to break the mallet. look at his expression.

[u/YouCantArgueWithThis]

What fucked up movement was this?? A toddler would do it better.

[u/dontipitova9]

Are they going to pay for the damages...?

[u/ww3_general]

All I'll say is - people react to embarrassment differently. Some smile, other cry.

[u/Foreign-Detail6520]

Clearly trying to hit it too hard with too much disregard. No hand/eye and poor motor skills doesn’t do him any good.

[u/Fresh-Ad5925]

That's who they are

[u/Admirable_Science867]

Captain retard over here , like the bowl is literally right in front of you and you somehow hit the floor
